Can you make words arch?

[ACham]

I just got my Cricut for Christmas and I am LOVEING it!! Is there a way to make words arch? I am trying to cut the word Celebrate and put it on a round plate. I would like to put it at the top of the plate. Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Thanks in advance for helping!!

Welcome to the world of SCAL/Cricut and this forum.
Yes you can arch words. I have a video tutorial here

when the letters cut out are they curved to the arch or are they just straight? I guess you probably need to cut out your path to line it up on your page? Or weld letters together?

Yes the letters are curved to your arch.. but it doesn't change the shape of the letters..

Cortan,
Here's a video on how to get it to the page keeping the curve that SCAL gives you.

Great video for typing text on a path, but can I ask when you draw a line how do you get it to flow without points in it? I want a sort of up and down curve along the top of a card which I want to cut a word on and when I use the pen, sometimes it curves and others it goes to points! I can't seem to control it so must be missing something!! Thanks.
