Thank you Jennifer for the great tutorial. I don’t think I’ll be in any rush to buy this machine, I’ve watched a few other tutorials on it also but for some reason it’s just not winning me over, having said that,I’d like to wish all who have purchased a Venture a very happy and exciting crafting experience and look forward to seeing all the lovely items you all make.❤
I can't imagine needing a machine this large for me at this time, but it has some great features. I have a tip that applies to any mat. Before I remove the protective cover, I place a small sticker on the up side of the cover near the hanging hook. I also then, after I remove the cover, I place a matching small sticker on the mat itself just next to where the cover sticker is. Then I not only always know which side is up but which mat goes to what cover.
Hi, Jennifer, As always, you have provided a wonderful, well thought out explanation of another CRICUT product. After seeing so many other content creators review the CRICUT Venture fee of charge, I just KNEW that CRICUT would be sending the new VENTURE to you at no cost as well. You do so much for CRICUT. If anyone deserves to receive the new machine at no cost, it should be YOU. Why did you have to pay for this machine? You do do much, and with your positive energy. Thank you for sharing the unboxing of the new CRICUT Venture. I love the speed and overall functionality of the Venture, but I don’t like that it only takes the CRICUT Smart Vinyl to do matless cutting, and I DO NOT agree with the excessive pricing of this product. if anything, this would probably make a happy purchase during a BLACK FRIDAY or CYBER MONDAY deals. PS. It would have been nice to see the Venture cut and draw in real-time so that we could see the speed of this machine that cuts up to 75 feet.
I didn't have to pay for the machine -- they offered it free. I insisted on paying for it, because I believe that I will feel more able to give an unbiased review if I pay for it myself. Call it old fashioned, but when someone gives me something for free, I feel inclined to overlook more stuff. So I pay for everything myself so I can do the best job for you. Also, I showed how the Venture draws in real time in my first video at ua-cam.com/video/hP-n84Mmawk/v-deo.html
I needed a wide-format cutter and had researched a few other brands since Cricut didn’t make one. I was just about to order another brand when the announcement was made. I have several cutting machines, but have been a Cricut fan since I bought the Create all those years ago. Glad I waited! Unboxing mine today, and I appreciate this excellent video! Thanks, Jennifer!
Thank you as always Jennifer for taking your time and showing us all the things. I’m so excited about the venture and I’m anxiously awaiting mine to be delivered 🤗. Suggestion for the mat cover is to write a note on it before removing from the mat so you can always identify the correct side easily
I've been thinking about buying the new Venture, but couldn't make up my mind, mainly due to the price and the fact that it wasn't available in the UK until recently. I really wanted a large format machine though, so I bought a Silhouette Pro. Having tried the Silhouette software for a few weeks, I just can't get used to it and also I didn't feel that the Silhouette was as sturdily made as the Cricut machines. So today, I bit the bullet and have just ordered the Venture with the Materials Bundle and the Stand! I'm going to be like a little kid waiting for Santa Claus, which is a laugh as I just celebrated my 60th birthday in July 😂. Thank you for all your videos Jennifer (and team!), you are such a joy to watch. 💕
Yay, I purchased the Venture. They didn't have the stand, I'll have to get that later. I can't wait to see all the amazing videos you add with this machine.
Okay just putting this out there if you see this *Mrs. Maker* can you make sure you tell CRICUT to go on ahead and make a 24 by 36-40 inch Mat they know good and well that people are going to want to go more than 28 inches long on this $1k machine it's just as easy as update to add more mat sizes because that's very limiting especially if you're not using smart vinyl. Cricket if you haven't learned yet stop pigeonholing us in limiting us from our creativity by limiting the products and sizes available to use. I was so excited to get this product until I noticed that your man only goes up to 28 but yet you can do anything with the smart vinyl I don't want to use Smart vinyl for this machine
I made the purchase with stand today. I'm so excited to knock out my annual christmas cards and more angels. any ideas on how to store that big paper? and any tips - like do we clean the performance blade with a tin foil ball, too?
Hello Jennifer I’ve just purchased the cricut venture and I’m excited to see what we create😊❤ I’m new to cricut fam all of 4 yrs lol to the game So I notice you printed out a large image. I’ve been searching for a great quality printer that print large images for print to cut. What printer do you use in this video it looks amazing? Thank you for sharing all your information and hard work I enjoy your videos
Thank you for sharing and for being an amazing instructor! Because of you, I’m learning so much. ❤ I’ve had my Maker for about 3+ years and the Joy for 2 years which I’ve used with your guidance. I still haven’t used the Maker yet. Smh! Now, I’m ready to sell my Maker after seeing the Venture. I’m jumping from the kiddie pool and going straight into the ocean! 😂
I totally relate! I have a Joy and an explore air thats pretty old but I got sick of slicing large projects. I got the Cameo 4 pro but I ran into problems constantly and I usually ended up using the explorer. I was so excited when i saw Cricut had a large format printer I pretty much ran to list my almost new Cameo and bought the Venture. I can't wait to see the fun big projects people make, especially Jennifer.
Impressive machine! Certainly an amazing piece of tech that loads of people will be able to get a lot of use from. Thanks for sharing Jennifer! Personally won't be buying it, but it's interesting to see what all the hype is about 😊
Ehhh yeah the price it’s expensive but if you think about it.. an iPhone or android phone cost the same or more! And they don’t give you profit, with this machine if you’re smart you can start a business and machine will pay off by itself.
It's so funny how quickly the cost of an iphone can put cost into perspective. I still can't believe how much we all pay for our phones but I can't imagine going back to life without them.
Hi Jennifer Maker I have some Questions for you I really want a venture but want to use it for certain things . 1. can you make large stickers or any stickers and do you need a special printer? 2. Can I make celebrity/sports wall decals/ murals ? 3. can I use sublimation epson ecotank printer with it and my canon inkjet regular printer with I have 2
I just received my venture today, and no matter what material setting I put it on it cuts straight through the mat! I was simply trying to cut some HTV and I tried multiple material settings and it’s still cut through the mat. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I follow all the steps for the test cut and when I press the load button it won’t load my material and I get an error message and I’ve went back through and tried several times
I watched an old video and you said if there is something you'd like a tutorial on to let you know, lol, so from I can tell there is no one showing how to paint vintage looking graphic signs, like from the 50's. I imagine you could use your cutting machine for that, couldn't you?
Do you know if there will be 12x12 mats for the venture? I was going to give a friend my old explorer but I'm wondering if I should hold onto it for small projects that I don't want to wrestle a large mat. It crazy how large the Cameo pro mat felt, always seemed like much more work than it should be to handle.
No, the mats are 24" x 12" and 24" x 28". There is an attachment on the back that makes handling these pretty easy, as long as you have enough table space. 😊🌻
I feel really dumb but I went to Design Space to do the drawing project and I can't locate it. Guess I'm not typing it in correctly. Could someone help please? Thanks!
The Venture does not come with projects. It is the same setup process as the other Cricut machines. jennifermaker.com/cricut-venture/ makeracademy.com/cricutkickoff/
Thank you for getting back to me. In the what’s included with your machine is a sentence that’s says 50 ready made projects. How do you find the 50 ready made projects for this machine in design space.
Hi Jennifer - Can you tell me what the height and width is for the stand that the venture sits on? I've looked on Cricut's website and tried googling it but, it's not listed anywhere. Thank you
The little box inside has the Quick start Guide, User Guide, and warranty information. Also, it has the adjustable roll support brackets for using the Venture on a table, a cleaning kit, the power cord, and a USB-C cable as well as a USB-A adapter. jennifermaker.com/cricut-venture/
Thank you Jennifer for the great tutorial. I don’t think I’ll be in any rush to buy this machine, I’ve watched a few other tutorials on it also but for some reason it’s just not winning me over, having said that,I’d like to wish all who have purchased a Venture a very happy and exciting crafting experience and look forward to seeing all the lovely items you all make.❤

Thank you for complete transparency and step by step on how to I’m a beginner and your videos help TREMENDOUSLY! you’re a blessing and the best yet 🫶🏼
Thank you! Happy to help!
My machine is arriving soon, and this video was so helpful! Thanks!
Have fun!
That machine is pretty incredible. I'm sure a lot of people will love it.
It is amazing for what it can can do!

Oh my goodness, I'm so very excited for you! Enjoy! 💗
Will it cut material? If so what blade would you need for it with this machine? Love your videos
I would love to have one but I will wait til it goes down in price
❤️❤️
Thank you just ordered one!
Yay, I purchased the Venture. They didn't have the stand, I'll have to get that later. I can't wait to see all the amazing videos you add with this machine.

As long as you have the right tool(s) - endless possibilities!🤠💕

That would be awesome. I have the cameo pro and the mat feels huge and a lot to handle, I'm not sure I'm coordinated enough to handle anything bigger.
I made the purchase with stand today. I'm so excited to knock out my annual christmas cards and more angels. any ideas on how to store that big paper? and any tips - like do we clean the performance blade with a tin foil ball, too?
YAY! Congrats on your new Venture! It's best to store the paper flat and you can abrade any leftover adhesive off the blade with foil too. 😊🌻
any suggestions - have you found any bins the large format paper fits in? @@JenniferMaker
You recommend connecting with the cable. Is that what your recommend just for the Venture or all Cricuts?
I personally prefer to connect via the cable, except for the Joy. Since that is Bluetooth only. 😊🌻
I wish they would make one that was able to print as well as cut so we don’t need two different devices (preferably able to use sub ink)
That would be so awesome! 😊🌻

Jennifer, can you tell me if you can you non smart branded rolls on this?
I haven't looked, but you can always check Amazon. 😊🌻
Space would be a huge issue for the hobby crafter.
The optional table is a space saver but it is bigger that the other Cricut machines.
It's definitely for someone who does more than hobby crafting. Businesses etc.
What large format printer do you recommend? And have you reviewed the Silhouette pro to the Cricut venture yet?
I used a Canon imagePROGRAF TC-20 24″ Large Format Poster & Plotter Printer 😊🌻
I haven't used a Silhouette 😊🌻
@@JenniferMaker thank you
Praying God Bless me with one 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
🙏 🙏 🙏
I am so exited with this machine !!!!!!!
It is pretty cool. 😎 ❤️

Can we use our 12×24 in. mats that we already have in the Venture?
You will need to get the mats for the Venture. It can tear the other mats.
Hi Jennifer Maker I have some Questions for you I really want a venture but want to use it for certain things .
1. can you make large stickers or any stickers and do you need a special printer?
2. Can I make celebrity/sports wall decals/ murals ?
3. can I use sublimation epson ecotank printer with it and my canon inkjet regular printer with I have 2
You can make stickers. You can make large murals. You can use both printers.
Can the Venture use the rotary blade? Will it cut cork, faux leather, and leather?
No it doesn't use rotary blade and can only cut bonded fabric. It will cut anything that the Explore machines will cut
Are you able to engrave with it like the maker 3?
Yes, you just need the engraving tip! 😊🌻
I just received my venture today, and no matter what material setting I put it on it cuts straight through the mat! I was simply trying to cut some HTV and I tried multiple material settings and it’s still cut through the mat. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.
I'd reach out to Cricut Support help.cricut.com/hc/en-us 😊🌻
@@JenniferMaker Can I change the material pressure on the Venture?
I follow all the steps for the test cut and when I press the load button it won’t load my material and I get an error message and I’ve went back through and tried several times
Have you reached out to Cricut Support? They'll be able to help you troubleshoot.❤️
@@JenniferMaker not yet. I’m running errands and then I will
@@JenniferMaker I figured it out!! I was messing up
Does it have the same issue with needing to replace the rubber rollers like the other do?
I have not had that issues with any of my rollers.
I watched an old video and you said if there is something you'd like a tutorial on to let you know, lol, so from I can tell there is no one showing how to paint vintage looking graphic signs, like from the 50's. I imagine you could use your cutting machine for that, couldn't you?

@@JenniferMaker That makes sense. I wasn't thinking the 24x12 should work fine for smaller projects. Thanks for all your help.
How big is print & cut feature for the venture?
It supports up to 24x28" print then cut!🥰
I feel really dumb but I went to Design Space to do the drawing project and I can't locate it. Guess I'm not typing it in correctly. Could someone help please? Thanks!
When you are in Design Space click on My Stuff and/or you can click on upload and se all of your uploads.

Yes, the Cricut has qualified 1/32″ and 1/16″ basswood that it can cut.

Too bulky my Maker 3 is all I need
This is geared for small businesses.
Hi Jennifer - Can you tell me what the height and width is for the stand that the venture sits on? I've looked on Cricut's website and tried googling it but, it's not listed anywhere. Thank you
Cricut Venture docking station; approx. 3' x 1.2' x 2.98'
@@theirvingfamilytube so 3 feet High, 1.2 feet wide and 2.98 feet deep?
I'm not sure how I feel about this machine...
It is geared for small businesses.
This machine is really incredible. But its out of my budget
It is good for small business owners.
@@JenniferMaker It is. But thats going to be months of saving for me. Would be worth it thou
So for that price of a machine you don't get a USB chord !!!!!?
The little box inside has the Quick start Guide, User Guide, and warranty information. Also, it has the adjustable roll support brackets for using the Venture on a table, a cleaning kit, the power cord, and a USB-C cable as well as a USB-A adapter. jennifermaker.com/cricut-venture/
What is the price on this machine?
1,000 is only the machine and the table is sold separate
Sure the UA-camrs get them free.
Ridiculous price
It is less expensive compared to other brands of it's kind.
I wouldn't want this machine if they gave it to me. Who has space or need for this huge thing? Yikes.
It really does not take up that much space with the table. It is meant for people who has a small business for these special features.
