    Thank-you so much I own a cricut maker &cricut joy and I don't really know much about what to do only names for my grandchildren pjs and drinking cups which I add names too I am so thankful I found that I can make these for their cakes as I'm always buying then from people that cost me around £5.99 in the UK and it get expensive because I have 9 grandchildren so I will try to make these myself x

    I learned how to do all of this through trial and error when I first started, but you did a wonderful job explaining every step! I wish I would have found your video a year ago! I would have saved time, money and plenty of wasted frustration. I had no clue why some of my letter would black out the hold in the letters d, a, b, etc... so thank you for teaching me why!!!! You are awesome and thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world! Love a crafty hippie from Mississippi

    Hi my dear, TFS!!!
    How glad am I to have come across your video 😊☺️ Just got gifted a cricut explore air 2 for my birthday and I’m about to do my first project. I have a quick question : Do most of the projects work with the built in blade that the cricut came with it or do I need to buy extra cutting blades ? If so, how do I know what extra blades to buy? Please your help and tips would be greatly appreciated as I’m a bit confused as a first timer.
    Thank you ☺️

      @Zhannastar  4 роки тому +3

      yes! these exact ones - I love them because they are thicker than any glitter cardstock I have ever found, and they don't shed glitter what so ever. PERFECT for cupcakes, cakes, and all the edible goodies. Super sparkly and also double sided! Only sucky thing is that they only carry like 4 colors :( haha

      depending on a budget, cricut explore is good for many projects. I now have a cricut maker, but I do exact same things on it that I did with the explore. so it depends on what type of projects you would do as well.

    • @Zhannastar
      @Zhannastar  3 роки тому +1

      $6 for non custom one "happy birthday" "happy 21st birthday" etc and $8-$15 for a custom one. like names - sometimes people would send me photos of things or ask for characters etc so that would cost more cause of time. Those were my prices. I no longer sell them. You can also go on etsy and check out what other people are selling their similar items for to know your competition. I always try to go lower than other people BUT don't cut yourself short either. Usually its cost of supplies x 3. But I mean the glitter paper could cost you $0.32 and doesn't mean you deserve $1 lol

      cricut maker cuts many many things, even some thin wood sheets. cricut explore is more budget friendly and does many things as well. you can use it for cake toppers. a heavy cardstock is good for cake toppers. I have this specific one that I love - I have it linked in the description below the video

    Before you unload it you make sure that it cut all the way... What if it didn't cut all the way? What can you do at that point?

    • @Zhannastar
      @Zhannastar  5 місяців тому

      You can click pause and use the cricut weeder tool to try to lift one of the cut pieces off the mat, if its not cut through, unpause and let it finish cutting, once its done, do not unload the mat, just click cut again, and it will cut over again and usually you can change the setting/pressure before cutting again or just leave the previous one and click cut again.
