I love all my Cricut machines! I started with the Explore Air 2, built my own business, upgraded to the Maker, then got the Joy, and then started my own UA-cam channel. The possibilities are endless with Cricut!
I love how real you are! I’ve confused myself with watching so many different videos that ASSUME that a person knows “stuff”. Great job explaining, thanks.
My cricut is sitting under my Xmas tree at the moment lol. I have been watching all kinds of videos and so far this is by far the best one I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
Just got my Air Explore 2 for Christmas from my kids. I am so excited to get started. Your video is really helpful. You have a great screen presence. One thing is like to see is a close up when you’re doing fine work. I am hitting the subscribe button right now. Thanks!
I just got my cricup, why do I feel overwhelmed. So intimidating... does anyone else felt or feel like this? I don't have a computer, but I do have a tablet and a Samsung notebook phone. Can I use that instead of a computer?
Yes, I have a tablet and i just got me cricut and you need to use bluetooth. Just look in UA-cam on how to do it. I'm kinda scared to use mine because my mom said she lost the receipt and I dont want to ruin it.
Hey Evelyn and Angy! Yes you can use the mobile app and the very best thing you can do for yourself is jump in. If you are cutting cardstock and adhesive vinyl, you (virtually) cannot break the machine. A few bad cuts will be just a drop in the bucket to all the awesomeness you will learn! ---Becky
I just got my explore air 2 and it is very intimidating and confusing with all the different materials to get ...I have been trying to watch videos but it is so overwhelming and idk if I need a printer on top of my machine since it seems like the design space can do whatever you want
This is the best unboxing and how to start up Cricuit Explorer Air 2 I have viewed. I recently purchased a new machine and have been scouring You Tube for how to videos. Thank you so much for your thorough and methodical presentation!!!!
Great video! My sister was gifted one of these a few years ago and it has never left the box. We are cracking it open this weekend and your video was very informative.
I just received mine for Christmas and I really appreciate this walkthrough!!! Thank you for such a detailed video. I’m not as overwhelmed as I was when I first opened the box 😊
I have to agree with Evelyn. Feeling totally out of my depth. I'm an older lady and computers are not at the top of my easy peasy list. I think I would have felt a great deal more comfortable with a written instruction book as well as these videos. So glad I found this otherwise I might have ended up with a very expensive space taker. Still lots of things that make no sense to me. Hoping it gets clearer.
It will definitely get clearer the more you play with it. Feel free to ask your questions here, and also our Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/192859435768879 Hope this helps! ---Becky
Thank you for this video I learned so much! It's a bit overwhelming when trying to look for tips and tricks on where to start! I appreciate this video! :)
1st tip is valuable. I bought one from Walmart. Noticed it leaked something out of box. Opened it up it was full of hair and something spilled all inside it. I sat all night waiting on 6am to return it worried to death. Exchanged for one the blade wasnt round and destroyed.
This was an awesome video. I just bought my mine 12/4/2020 with a 3 year protection and tax I got it for Black Friday price at total $175.37!! I’m so excited 😆. This is my first cricut ever. It’s for hobbies and crafts to make and sell. And this video just made me more excited 😜 that I purchased this. So keep the videos coming. Thank you for sharing.
This is a great video. I'm getting my Cricut today. Just want to let you know that your lights are too bright and it is making it hard to see things.... the light colored things etc.
Got one of these today. Thought I'd come on UA-cam for some insights. Might I add you spoke really well and I understood everything. Thank you for this video
Are all cricut cartridges the same? I have some with my expression (I know…old!) and would hate not to use them… and i don’t see a spot for the little keyboard… is it all done through computer/phone? thanks for this video!
I just ordered my explore air from Jo Ann. Not trying to feed you envy but I did get the wild rose!! It's on sale and as a bundle!! $149 come with 2 tools and a good amount of vinyl.. hop on it it is a black friday deal!!
Thanks to take time to tell us about how to use it, I just get mine same as your , and I do have a question. Do I need to purchase the computer program to get all the designs?
I know right,,, I don't have a computer but I believe in another video that I saw, you can use a tablet or an iphone. Darn I don't have an iPhone but I do have a Samsung notebook phone that I don't know if I can use this phone... but will wait on her answer. I feel so intimidated right now...
Hey Estela and Evelyn! You can use mobile devices with Cricut machines. I have used an iPad and my Samsung cell phone, so it works well on both Apple and Android. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Is this a good choice for a 2nd Cricut? Currently I have Cricut Joy & really enjoying it but I want something that does "bigger stuff". O, I have Windows 10 on computer.
Hey Joy! Yes, the Explore Air 2 is a great machine and you won't be sorry to upgrade. I recently put out a simple comparison video, you might find this useful, I'll link it for you. Thanks for stopping by and hope this helps! ---Becky ua-cam.com/video/6htrE4umryY/v-deo.html
My Explore Air 2 is Boysenberry! Love purple. I didnt get all those cool materials. Just a couple small pieces of card stock. No weeding tools or anything else
I have the very first cricut that came out that has the cartridge and plastic key pad. Do those cartridges fit into it? If so where does the key pad go?
Hi Katherine! Thanks to computer-based software and digital content, you do not need cartridges to use your Explore Air 2 machine, but if you have cartridges in your collection that you would like to still use, you can link the cartridge to your Design Space account - Dawn
Hi there! Yes, you can use HTV which uses heat to apply to canvas. We have lots of helpful beginner tutorials that can help get you started on applying to shirts here: ua-cam.com/video/xUSRriVxvis/v-deo.html - Dawn
The app is not available for Chromebook laptops so what other apps are suitable for downloading digital svg's and projects? Love the tutorial by the way.
Hi Debbie! We've had customers mention that they've downloaded the Cricut App for Android users through the Google Play Store on their Chromebooks - Dawn
@@DesignBundles I have actually managed to do that now via my phone by linking android with chromebook. Thank you for your reply. I'm excited to get started now.
Hi Alyssa! The Cricut is a cutting machine which can be used to cut vinyl for decals and also HTV (heat transfer vinyl) for shirts! You can also cut a variety of other materials like cardstock, felt, and even faux leather! - Dawn
I just ordered one of these. I am a Silhouette girl and have been for a long time but thought well let’s try this as well. Thanks for the video. Have been a member of Design Bundles a long time love it keep making the videos I am learning so much more.
What all do you need to start making things with cricut? I’m a realtor and want to make mugs. Also I saw there is a mug cricut is it worth it or should I just get one of these
To start making things you just need the machine and whatever type of material you want to use. So if you want to make mugs, you can use permanent vinyl to put onto the mugs! 😊
Hey Natalie! The Cricut Explore cuts any color vinyl you add to your mat. It isn't a printer, but rather a cutting machine. We don't have a video especially for wall decals, but this will help as the wall decal design may be larger than the mat: ua-cam.com/video/1_OsTTVfZYU/v-deo.html
Oops one more thing please, what do you prefer best on the Cut Settings for Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV), set it up to Premium Outdoot Vinyl or Everyday Iron-On
I’m still an old school Cricut user and want to use the cartridges I have. How do I use the cartridges with the Explore Air 2? Do you have a tutorial on that too? Thank you
Hey Valerie! I don't have a tutorial on that specifically since I don't have any cartridges myself, BUT I do know that you can insert your cartridges directly into the cartridge slot on your Explore Air 2, and you can also link them through your Cricut account in the software. Hope this helps! ---Becky
I purchased mine in October but haven't touched it yet. i'm scared. but after watching your video, you made it look so easy. so next week, i will try it.
I feel over whelmed and excited at the same time...I hope I can get this right. I have removable adhesive vinyl i hope it works...how do i down load a picture I created...can I create it in Word and then down load it? HELP
Hey Lisa! To start with, I would go to the Design Bundles Free Resources area and check out their SVG files, that will be the easiest way to start cutting, then you can grow into using other types of files and creating your own. I'll link some videos here for you, hopefully this helps! ---Becky ua-cam.com/video/V1n-f-eNg8U/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/P5unJvIot0Q/v-deo.html
Hi there, i have a Cricut Explore Air 2 and i had another question about it, so my question is which is the best setting to choose for Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) I’m having a hard time picking the right setting. Please and thank you
Hey Bernard, I would check with the vendor or manufacturer you purchase from, a lot of times they will have a list to help you out. But I use the Iron-on setting for smooth HTV and Iron-on + for glitter HTV. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hello, thank you for it needs about sharing your video, i'm new to the Cricut, i hope to be using it soon, i got a Cricut Explorer 2 in the emerald green, i haven't used it yet, mainly because i'm not sure on how to set it up. I have been wondering about how much space i'll need behind the cricut, i've read it requires about 8", is this true, also my main question is, i'd be using it with my laptop with the USB, but how close to the internet cable does it have to be, my cable is for tv, the internet & even my telephone, i hope that you can help me with this issue, thank you.
Hi Melody! You can always move your Cricut around. I have mine on my desk but I move it when I'm ready to cut so that I have more room around it. Also, Cricut Maker, Explore Air and Explore Air 2 has inbuilt Bluetooth and does not require an adapter so you might want to look into that rather than using the cable! - Dawn
Hey Tracy, I would check with the vendor you purchased from, not all machines are bundled with extra items. I actually don't normally recommend purchasing bundles because you pay for items that you are not likely to use, but in this case it was the same price for me. If you purchased a bundle, the vendor will be able to send you the missing items I believe. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Just got mine as well. Totally overwhelmed. I have basic questions; i.e., If I have premium - do I need/want Access or are they one in the same; does "subscribed" on images mean yes I can use? Also have broken arm so forgive typos for a few weeks. Where do I find answers like this? Just VERY basic.
Hey Pauline and Jan, no worries, you don't really need the accessories. I'm going to link a video here that will give you my run-down of things you might need. Hope this helps! ---Becky ua-cam.com/video/AWWNVV0aVLM/v-deo.html
Cartriges are something remaining from older Cricut Machines. They had collections of images on them like easter themed etc. Here is the article that can be helpful in explaining what they were almostpractical.com/what-are-cricut-cartridges/
Hello. I've had my cricut explore 2 since x Mas I'm nervous to even open the box. I'm hoping you can help me through this .. I don't have a computer or iPad. Just a android phone. Will that work ??? THANK YOU ❤️
Hi Sue! You can use the Cricut App with your Android phone. 😊 Android does have trouble downloading new fonts however, but you can certainly work with SVG or PNG files successfully.
My Explore Air 2 came in yesterday and my Everything bundle came today. I really wanted the Dark pink but ordered the Lilac. I bought the everything bundle becausevI couldn't pass up the $279 bundle deal.
I’m wanting to get a circut, well I’m also getting a new computer!! How much storage would I need for all the different files for circut? I will be using the computer and circuit for my business Thank you! 😊
I would get the most possible that you can afford -- but know that in the future you could always get an external hard drive if you do run out of space. With Design Bundles, you downloads stay on your account forever so if you do need to come back and re-download you can do so :)
I actually ordered from HSN I believe? I think they were having a special. I think it just depends on what Cricut has on promotion, they often have different bundles at different vendors, but I certainly wouldn't pay extra for a bundle (vs. just the machine) because a lot of times it is material that you won't really use (hope that doesn't sound bad). Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hey there! I use different types for different products. I do have a video on recommended beginner tools, if you'd like to check it out. Hope this helps! ---Becky ua-cam.com/video/wqxMVQxz8Co/v-deo.html

If you purchased a bundle, the vendor will be able to send you the missing items I believe. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Just got mine as well. Totally overwhelmed. I have basic questions; i.e., If I have premium - do I need/want Access or are they one in the same; does "subscribed" on images mean yes I can use?
Also have broken arm so forgive typos for a few weeks. Where do I find answers like this? Just VERY basic.
Cricut Access is their subscription plan, some do call that Premium. If you have Access then you should be able to use those images. :)
Thank you soo much for this helpful video💕
You’re welcome! We’re always happy to help!
Got mine yesterday and just love it, thanks to your video and did my first cut. Thanks Thanks Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! 😊
When you wash the shirt after printing the vinyl on to it does it peel off?
Not when pressed at the right time and temperature. Hope this helps! ---Becky
Hi, I treated myself to this machine also in mint. I didn’t get any accessories. I just got the machine, no accessories . I’m here in the UK
I didn’t get accessories either. Opened today
Hey Pauline and Jan, no worries, you don't really need the accessories. I'm going to link a video here that will give you my run-down of things you might need. Hope this helps! ---Becky

@@DesignBundles Thank you so much Becky, this answered a lot of questions for me and saved me money. Thank you x
What does the cartridge do? I never had a Cricut before and thinking of buying one.
Cartriges are something remaining from older Cricut Machines. They had collections of images on them like easter themed etc. Here is the article that can be helpful in explaining what they were almostpractical.com/what-are-cricut-cartridges/
@@DesignBundles Thank you so much.
Hello. I've had my cricut explore 2 since x Mas I'm nervous to even open the box. I'm hoping you can help me through this .. I don't have a computer or iPad. Just a android phone. Will that work ??? THANK YOU ❤️
Hi Sue! You can use the Cricut App with your Android phone. 😊 Android does have trouble downloading new fonts however, but you can certainly work with SVG or PNG files successfully.
@@DesignBundles I'm sorry but what do these abriviations mean ???
My Explore Air 2 came in yesterday and my Everything bundle came today. I really wanted the Dark pink but ordered the Lilac. I bought the everything bundle becausevI couldn't pass up the $279 bundle deal.
You fast forwarded through the How you applied the vinyl to the mat. Shinny side up? That’s important
Hi, what's the difference between the cricut maker and this machine, please. Many thanks.
I have a comparison video for you, I'll link it below. Hope this helps! ---Becky

I’m wanting to get a circut, well I’m also getting a new computer!! How much storage would I need for all the different files for circut? I will be using the computer and circuit for my business
Thank you! 😊
I would get the most possible that you can afford -- but know that in the future you could always get an external hard drive if you do run out of space.
With Design Bundles, you downloads stay on your account forever so if you do need to come back and re-download you can do so :)
How did u get so items in your box... which one did u order? Haven't seen one that comes like yours
I actually ordered from HSN I believe? I think they were having a special. I think it just depends on what Cricut has on promotion, they often have different bundles at different vendors, but I certainly wouldn't pay extra for a bundle (vs. just the machine) because a lot of times it is material that you won't really use (hope that doesn't sound bad). Hope this helps! ---Becky
Does the design space software come with the machine?
Hi there! Yes, and you can also download it directly through their website here at Cricut.com! - Dawn
@@DesignBundles Thank you!
New here! Do I need to use a computer with design space, or can I use my phone to select images?
Hi! you can use the Cricut app from your phone if you prefer! - Dawn 🙂
Hello. Nice video thanks for sharing!! Is A printer necessary for the cricut machine?
Thank you so much! It depends on what you want to do if you just want to work with adhesive vinyl, htv or maybe infusible ink you don't need a printer
May I ask what a printer is needed for? I am so nervous to get started. I received my cricut for vday. Everything seems so hard. Lol.
What transfer tape do you use? It would be helpful if you linked products in your description box. Thanks
Hey there! I use different types for different products. I do have a video on recommended beginner tools, if you'd like to check it out. Hope this helps! ---Becky
