    Hummingbirds are my very favorite thing ever! (Welllll....maybe butterflies, too!) But I have hummingbird feeders in my back yard and love sitting in my swing during the warmer months and just watching them way up here in the UP of Michigan. I'm going to make several of these out of different materials. I'd love somehow to make one very delicate for outside. I'll have to figure out how to do that. Thanks so much, Jennifer, for this video. I downloaded the SVG immediately! And whipped it on over into my Design Space! Can't wait to make several...probably as gifts also. And thanks, too, for the tips for cutting delicate SVG's with our Cricut!

    Jennifer I made this but I used double side adhesive sheets.
    I added the sheet to the back of the card stock then once it was cut just removed the backing and deed it to the next layer.
    It worked great.
    Your designs are lovely. Thank you for them.❤

    I made an intricate pattern of an eagle and it kept tearing. I followed all your steps including cleaning the blade and there was one section that still tore. I decided to try again using 110 Card Stock setting, since that’s the weight of my paper, and used more pressure (this is the setting I hadn’t been using), and it worked!! I wouldn’t have figured it out had I not watched this video. Thank you!

What are the best paper settings and cut setting/pressure to use for these intricate cuts on the joy?

    I'm definitely going to try to make this for my step mom. She and my dad had a beautiful home in California and a backyard that overlooked a gorgeous mountain. They had a humming bird feeder there, and I loved to watch the hummingbirds come to feed when I visited. After he passed away, she sold the house and moved to a smaller place, but I'm pretty sure she still has a hummingbird feeder. I'm just trying to think ofsome ideas on how I might incorporate one of the photos that I took back then. I live in Florida and have never seen one here yet.

I use " one of the other cutting machines", But I must say- if I'd seen your awesome videos prior to buying- I would definitely own a Cricut! My Humming bird turned out fine- just struggled with the white foam spacers. Thanks for your excellent instructions!

    Today I went to Michael’s and bought 4 sheets of 80 lb Recollections card stock, but I could not find it in a pack. It was either 65 or 110 lbs. Previously I bought something from Walmart in tear away sheets, called Colorbok, distributed by American Crafts. It’s what I used to cut my “You Are A Star” care from your Cricut Kickoff. It cut nicely; it just seemed kind of lightweight. There is no weight shown anywhere on the packaging. I know I use 140 lb watercolor paper for painting, but I’m confused about card stock.

    I used my Maker for the first time. My first time I must have not used the correct setting because it didn't cut all the way through. Next time it shredded the heavy cardstock. Next a tried scrapebook paper to see if that was the problem. What mess I had. Shredded and tore. How do you figure out the weight of the paper? There wasn't anything that told me the weight of the cardstock since I picked off the shelf over a year ago. Help!
    Yes, I had the correct blade in. And it was never used yet. A machine that tells you which blade. That is cool! That is pretty cool. I was used to using one of your competitors before. Never had this problem. I realize I'm still learning.

      Most card stock is 65 Lb. You can feel the difference in the weight by the thickness. We have a free series of online classes that show you how to set up and begin creating with your machine as a new Cricut owner! Here's the link to sign up: makeracademy.com/cricutkickoff
