From here, you will click the green New Project button in the top right corner.
This is the first step to any new Cricut project.

DIY Tool
Your new project will begin with a blank Canvas. The Canvas is where you will design and layout the project you are making.
Before you begin adding your stickers, you’ll want to set your print + cut area by adding a shape sized to 6.75″ by 9.25″ (the maximum print + cut area allowed).

Before you adjust the size of your rectangle, make sure you click the lock icon above. to unlock the proportion setting so the height and width can be different.
