Finally 🙏Extremely informative. You cut to straight to the point. Nothing unnecessary small talk. You really shows the materials with the ready projects and tell extra tips and tricks.
I'm your new subscriber 💗💗💗
Thank you for doing all the work to troubleshoot this machine. I appreciate it!
So glad I found your channel! I recently upgraded from my Cricut Explore Air to a Maker and I’m loving it ! You answer so many of the questions I have and you’re always thorough and clear in your explanations so thank you!!
Awesome! Thank you!
I love that you show examples! it's so helpful- so many people just list off what you can cut without ever trying it
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for this video. It was very informative. I just purchased my Cricut Maker and I am new to all of the crafts it can make. I am a quilter, so I will be using the Maker mostly for applique, but I am excited about other crafts that it can make.
Seen your comment, maybe you can help me understand appliques... I organize hexagons to use little waste as possible but when I see it in view screen it separates them out instead of organizing them to use the whole piece of fabric... so how do I keep them all together once I get ready to make it or cut them.
I just got my Cricut Maker for Christmas, and this video was so informative! Thank you so much for making this video--I can't wait to start creating!
Good luck!!
I'm guessing you're a teacher, either by profession or by nature, because you are so easy to understand and are wonderfully succinct! I just got a Cricut Maker for Christmas from my fiancé, and yours was the first page to which I subscribed. I have the feeling you are going to be my favorite go-to guru!
Thanks Pamela!
Angie I just found your channel So glad I did you are so easy to follow love your videos I have a maker you really opened new ideas for me
All I can say is WOW...got a cricut maker for xmas and kinda find it intimidating so watching tons of you tube videos and this was fantastic...thanks...would love to visit your craft room it looks so well organized and stuffed with goodies
You can do it!
Thank you Angie I just purchased a Cricut maker and I’m eager to learn.
Thank you. Love your presentation.
To control the frayed edges on the silky fabric there is a technique called candeling where you use a lite candle and quickly pass the edge of your material through the fire and seal the or melt the material together learned this technique in Korea on silk tale time to practice on scraps first. This teaches you the spread to pass the material to seal.
Great video! I love how you just get to the piont. Thank you
Your videos are so easy to understand. You have a natural teaching ability that makes learning effortless!
Wow, thank you!
On the softer fabric that frays, try hitting it with hairspray before removing. Hope this helps!
Cindy
Thanks for the tip!
Genius
You were fun to watch! Thanks for the tips.
Hi Angie, This was such a cool video. I just ordered my Cricut Maker in Blue! I have been watching a bunch of videos trying to get to know my machine before it arrives early next week. I think it's really going to add some great personalization abilities to the several different products I make at home for my Etsy shop. I just subscribed because I know I'm going to be watching ALL of your videos starting now. I make concrete planters so I plan to make some vinyl stickers and stencils for that. I make soy candels and I'm sure there are tons of cool things I can do with them. I also make ring dishes and this is really going to take them to the next level. I'm very excited!
You are going to love it!
Just received my Cricut Maker for Christmas, so excited. Enjoying lots of videos with endless possibilities. I did subscribe to your channel. I will be waiting for more great videos
Yay! So glad to help!
You are awesome! So glad to be learning this BEFORE, I get my maker. You are awesome, go you.
Thank you!
Finally I got the answers about cutting plastic😁I'm buying this weekend. Thanks
Let us know how it goes!
I use shrink dinks and leather. Works great. I cut tooling leather 5 oz too. Love it.
Awesome! It is amazing right?
@Angie Golden!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!! I want to purchase a Cricut Maker & didn’t know it does ALL of these things!! I have NO IDEA 🤷🏾♀️ on how to use, & knowing what blades to purchase… oh I need you!!! To help assist me!!
Glad it was helpful!
A wealth of great information. Thanks
Angie, Thank you for your awesome videos, you are so easy to listen to and You leave out all the yap, yap that turn me off on other videos. Keep up your great work. Xo
Awesome video, first vid of yours I've watched. You remain on topic & had my attention unlike other videos adding little this/that. Thank you just subscribe
Great video - good information presented in a straight forward manner.
Thanks!
Thanks for your great explanation ill try♡
GREAT instructions! THANKS! I was half way through and I realized you were not using the explore, but rather the cricut maker! So my question is, do you have a video showing what the explore air can cut!? I'm wondering if any cricut cuts through an lp vinyl record album! MANY THANKS and BLESSINGS!
I have not tried a record! I don't have a similar video for the Explore but definitely should make one!
Great video Angie. I'm getting my Cricut Maker tomorrow. Can't wait :)
Hope you enjoy it!
Great video! We just bought a Cricut maker for different reasons but the main one was to create a stencil for tile floors that are 20” x 20” we are going to paint over the current tile. Sounds like we need a more durable stencil than the example and piece several together. Any ideas would be very helpful!
The biggest you can do is 12x24. So you would need to cut two and tape them together to get the 20 x20. I would repeat the design and make it slightly over lap. That being said, the largest I have ever bought the stencil film is 8 1/2 x 11 so you might want to start by looking for a material that is that large.
Really good video thanks for sharing
Loved the video, very informative
Really cool straightforward video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Angie have you ever cut Flower foam for making the thin .08 foam. It’s the foam you use an iron to curl the petals. I wondered if I’d use a rotary blade vs the fine blade??? Because it might tear.
I haven't cut it but I think it would work. I think I would try the rotary blade for the smoothest cut.
Great video, thanks
Thank you so much, you are easy to follow and nice to listen to
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks So Much 👍.
Craft foam works on the Explore Air 2 as well. There's a craft foam setting in the "Custom" menu; I've been using the sticky-back craft foam. 3 passes isn't quite enough, but 5 passes works wonders. Though for the sticky-back foam, I find it works better to use the medium grip mat because the heavy grip mat likes to rip the backing paper. (Deep point blade; I wish the EA2 could use the knife! XD)
Yea I REALLY like the knife blade for craft foam. I find the other blades don't give me a really clean cut.
Cricut Maker a new toy for me can't wait to get mine and work with how to use it!
I just have gotten mine. I can't wait until I get to play with it 😁
Yesss. Great video and no horrible music. Huzzah!
Thank you!
What’s great video! I have decided to purchase a Maker as soon as I save the funds. Watching tons of videos and keep getting amazed at what this machine can do! You popped up in my feed today and I like you! 👍🏽😊👍🏽
I am subscribing 🙌🏽
Awesome! Thank you!
This was very helpful. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
Angie, this was great. I love to experiment and you've given me several ideas. I just received the update with the new CorelDraw linetype and fill choices. I'm glad they keep upgrading their software as well as projects, parts and hardware. Thanks again.
Thanks Sally! Good luck!
This is awesome information, Angie!
Thanks!
Cool. This is so nice to know.
Love your videos!! What mat & blade do you recommend for the Shrinky Dink material? Would love to show my 4 yr. old granddaughter some of the crafts I used to do as a child!! Thanks, & keep up the great work - I look forward to seeing more from you!!!!
Just the fine point or deep cut works and the green mat.
Angie, this is a great video! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking into purchasing a Maker specifically to cut vinyl, I don't intend on cutting very intricate shapes out of them, I basically want to print a full design perhaps flowers or something as a border with different fonts of text onto a rectangle and be able to stick it onto the wall - so excuse my ignorance in this but will I be able to print full color on white or black vinyl or lets say white bold font on pink vinyl? Any tips would be so helpful. Thanks!
You will need printable vinyl. You can see me use it here: ua-cam.com/video/F9iFUjTxe2M/v-deo.html
Excellent video!! Great tips and ideas!! Thank you very much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
great information Chuck RVRR
Where do you get your heat moldable plastic sheets?
Thank you for the video, Angie - it was very helpful! At 1:45 you mention "maker's plastic". I'm curious what this is. Thanks!
At the time of this video, it was a material on Etsy.
Thank you for this very informative video! :D My husband has a 3d printer and I am hoping to be able to have him make a few projects/designs for me that i can then cut or engrave when i get my maker. (we don't know how to 3d model yet :/ ) i believe it uses PLA or FLA plastic but i'm not entirely sure.
I think that would work. I would definitely try it!
Luggage tags . Shrink stuff so cool thank you
Awesome video, Angie! Thank you! I didn't catch which blade worked best on the stencil material...deep cut, knife blade, fine point?
Just the standard fine point worked for me! Try the copper setting though as the stencil material setting didn't do a great job.
I would go with deep cut if you have it but find point works after multiple passes.
I am a Silhouette user .. but Angie.. this video has made me want to purchase a Maker. I did not see a link to purchase, so I went to Amazon but I will wait a bit to see if you have a link first. Thanks for the information...
Thank you so much for the kind words! If you want to purchase from me, you can buy on the Cricut site here: www.thecountrychiccottage.net/cricut-maker-affiliate Or on Amazon here: amzn.to/2KMuHH6
I love the ides of using shrinky dinks material to make my own customized buttons!! My Circut maker is coming any day now! Thanks for the ideas and inspiration.
Hi Angie. Your videos are very informative and I have used them several times when trying new things with my Maker. At this time, I am trying to make stencils for card making using 10 mil Mylar. I have not yet been successful in getting my Maker to cut through it. I was wondering if you have any advice? I would also love to be able to engrave on the Mylar items.
Try this: ua-cam.com/video/tTCSIZNh-3o/v-deo.html
Great video! As always very informative. You make it simple and easy!
Wow, super amazing. I am such a newbie or noob since generation changes.🤣. It videos are very informative. And the step by step instructions are so help. One video knocked out a lot of questions. I was going though my craft stuff organizing and was asking wonder if my Cricut Maker could cut this, that, or the other. I know it takes practice learn the cut on the machine and what depth to use. I glad I have a lot of extra play material I have collected over the years. But the one I am totally excited about...... Yeah Shrinky Dinks. So old school fun. Now your talking. On to next video. Got a lot to learn. 😊
Shrinky dinks are so much fun!!
Where can you buy the Shrinky Dinks material? TIA! 😊
Amazing video! thanks a lot! Cannot wait for my maker to arrive. Any idea if I can use maker to cut cardboard?
Yes you can! I did that here: ua-cam.com/video/QMEvMXPCNrI/v-deo.html
Thank you for creating your channe;! I love all your videos
Glad you enjoy it!
I am wondering if "painting a stop-fray solution" (making sure it's fully dried) on the satin fabric before you cut it would work? Though, possibly it could "gum up" the blade? Just a thought.
Yea it could alter the blade itself. You could press interfacing on the back and go that route.
Hello, in one of your videos you mentioned embossing leather with the scoring tool in the cricket maker. Could you expound or do a video on this. I am very interested in that. Thank you!
Of course! You can see more about doing that here: ua-cam.com/video/N55NDCj-z-M/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing! 😊❤
No problem 😊
@@AngieHolden 😊
Hi Angie, so happy to see your channel as I’m about to buy my first cricut. One question please, can I cut acrylic with cricut? If yes, what is the most thickness it can cut? Thanks in advance for your reply and thanks for sharing this lovely video 👍🏽
Try this: ua-cam.com/video/VIq9oWM7oS0/v-deo.html
@@AngieHolden Thanks very much for your reply. The linked video really answered my question. Thanks again.
Hi, on the satin you could spray with either a starch or Terial Magic, I am sure you will no longer have the fray problem.
That would probably help! You will still need to be extra careful when pulling up from the mat though!
could you be more specific about the glue mixture and stiffening process for burlap you mentioned?
You can see a video on it here: ua-cam.com/video/QLT6fWWuu3M/v-deo.html
Thank you! Curious if you have tried to cut a record album?
I have not. I am doubtful it will work.
Thanks for your videos. What about cutting 1mm foamex or pvc sheets?
Hmmm...I picked up something super similar recently! Stay tuned!
Can’t wait to see you at the Make a Thon! I’m taking your iron on class😉🙂
Can't wait to see you there! Be sure to say hi!
Awesome, I just received my circut maker, I'm looking for paper to make labels but I don't see it
I like to use printable vinyl and print then cut to make labels. Here is a video where I did that: ua-cam.com/video/ZyCHWcM6NWk/v-deo.html
I would love to know if the Cricut maker can cut fondant or gum paste for cake decorations? If so what blade would you recommend?
The Cricut Maker is not food safe so it is not recommended.
Hi Angie, great video! QUESTION: You mention chipboard, but you did not mention a specific mm thickness the Cricut can handle. How do you think it would do with 1.5mm Chipboard; and, what blade/setting would you use? Thanks!
I have cut up to 2 mm so I think it will work fine. You will want to use the knife blade and the heavy chipboard setting. Start checking about half way through the cut to see if it is cut all the way through. You can see more about the knife blade in this video: ua-cam.com/video/QMEvMXPCNrI/v-deo.html
I got a lot of really useful information from this video. You make everything very easy to understand. Thank you!
Where can I get the cut file for the copper box? I couldn't find it under your Cricut profile and the link says it is not working anymore.
Cricut has changed some things and we are trying to fix everything we can and add to my profile. However, it may not be available any longer.
@@AngieHolden Okay. Thank you!
This was a very informative video. I am getting my Cricut Maker tomorrow, and one of my interests in it is to make die cuts for papercrafting. I want to do the same thing that a Sizzix big shot will do only without having to buy the die cut metals. I would like to use design space to make my own sentiments for my projects. Will the Cricut cut out sticker paper?
It is definitely useful for embellishments like that! And yes you can cut sticker paper!
Adorable Adornments I just got mine for Christmas a gift to me from me! I am also still new to everything and finding it very hard to sleep, because I keep thinking about All the projects I can do!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
With the Dollar Tree plastic cutting boards comes 2 in a pack I made stencils out of that with my cricut Explorer Air 2 and the deep point blade and OMG I finally got it now I have the maker so I'm guessing it works even better with the knife blade
And just like you said I played with the settings
And I love your videos have done some of your projects while learning and I'm happy I have learned so much through you thank you for your time
Angie, what type of printer do you use for your print and cut projects? I learned a lot in your video! Thank you.
I use all HP printers Annella. Not sure if it matters or not though. And I am glad it helped!
Just found your channel, you're really awesome to listen to compared to others! Thanks for the video (:
Hey, Angie -- I noticed a corrogated cardboard setting. I tried to run a piece of a recycled box through it, but I need some advice. I just upgraded to the Maker this week. What fun! Love your informative, to-the-point, videos.
I cut boxes here and have some information on this: ua-cam.com/video/QMEvMXPCNrI/v-deo.html
Loved the video and your craft shelves! Have you tried corrugated cardboard on the Maker? Nothing overly intricate, but let's say a knight shield shape or the tracing of your hand. I can't find any videos that show cutting cardboard (not chip board), but like a moving box. Thanks!!
Yes I have! Try this video: ua-cam.com/video/QMEvMXPCNrI/v-deo.html
@@AngieHolden Thank you! That was EXACTLY what I need to see!! Super excited!
You are one of the BEST Thank you soooo much !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do you ever feel like sometimes we're using our Cricut for everything when it's simply a straight line that we could cut with a pair of scissors?
I am not the best at cutting straight lines so there is that!
I just got my knife blade and cut basswood for the first time, and it cut through my mat! Any tips for that? I calibrated the blade before using it and used the basswood material setting.
Thanks for this video!
You really need to check your cuts on the knife blade. I start about 1/2 way through the recommended passes. Hit the pause button and just check to see if it is cut through then un-pause if not or remove the mat if it is. Yes, this can happen.
@@AngieHolden thanks! I tried again yesterday and really watched it as it went through the passes this time - and it was cut through with half the passes that the Cricut was going to do! So no cut mat this time! Thanks again!
Yay! Happy to help!
Really interested in the custom shrinky dink projects. For the printer portion of the project, which type of printer is best? Laser or inkjet?
Use whatever is recommend d by the shrink dink material you buy. I used an ink jet.
I am interested in using vinyl stencils and transfer paper to apply text onto canvas in order to create depth using molding paste. Will the circuit maker cut 1/8 inch or 3.17 mm thick vinyl?
The maximum thickness for this machine is 2.4 mm on any material.
Thanks for this tutorial. I just bought a Cricut Maker and I am really disappointed that there were not any real instructions with it. I have found a wealth of information on UA-cam, but it seems like the company would have more instructions with it.
Let me know if there is anything you are struggling with Ronda! I am sure we have a video for it.
Hi, awaiting delivery of my new cricut maker, I am a compete novice! I will need to cut 1mm sticky backed cork. I would love to see a demo please.
Try this video: ua-cam.com/video/i2GTAm8gtHM/v-deo.html I would definitely use the rotary blade as it cuts it the best!
Angie Holden thank you, watched the video, can’t wait to try it x
Being new to Cricut, I bought used Cricut Explorer One, can it cut these materials, n can I use a knife blade, rotary, n scoring blade???
The knife, rotary, and scoring wheel are only for the Maker. You can get a scoring stylus that will work with your machine for scoring. The deep cut blade will work and you can cut fabric that has been backed.
Angie I just watched this video. Just wondering if you can cut edible paper? Learned a lot by the way!
The problem is that the Maker is not food safe. So while it will cut it I don't think you would want to.
I have been cutting faux leather, like from hobby lobby. Most cuts great but the faux leather Ribbon that is rippled has been a chore.Ir comes on a roll and has beautiful colors from Hobby lobby. Have you tried it yet? Love to see a youtube on it. loved this one.....thanks
Hmmm....I have not tried that! It is faux leather? Or just ribbon?
@angieholden yes, Hobby Lobby Faux Leather in the ribbon section. It doesn’t stay on the purple mat well enough to get through the cut. Thank you for this video, great info!!
Just got my maker as an early Christmas gift and can’t wait to start having fun with it! Thank you for the very informative video! #hlthytransition
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Angie...have you made anything with fabric backed cork?
I have not. I haven't even heard of that!
What brand and where did you get the plastic that can be molded with heat? Needing something like that for outdoor Christmas decor
It is from ETI (the resin company).
Great video! As always, very informative. I’m a subscriber. Have a question. Can Critcut Maker cut flexible magnetic sheets? If so, up to how thick, and how many passes? Will the cutting of flexible magnetic sheet significantly shorten the life of cutting blade (because it is made from a mixture of ferrite powder and rubber polymer resin)?
Yes I have cut them before actually. There is a setting for magnetic sheet in Design Space that I think will work perfectly and give you the right amount of passes. It worked for me anyway. I didn't notice a shortened blade life, however, if you were cutting a lot of them you might expect that.
I just bought the Cricut Maker online (haven’t received it yet) but I chose this machine because, as you said in the video, I heard you can layer wood to make it thicker. My goal is to make some really nice, thick lettering for craft projects. Can you do a tutorial on how exactly to layer the wood? I don’t want to be able to see the various layers from a side view - which is part of my concern. Is there a way to hide that? Thank you in advance!
Here is a project I did with layers: www.thecountrychiccottage.net/make-your-own-puzzle/
I would try ironing on a veneer to the edges to hide them!
Angie, I'm new to Cricut and have an Explore air2. I need to cut out a script font name out of wood but am getting conflicting information from all the videos I watch. What's the strongest wood that will give me the cleanest cut with the Air2? I'm applying the cut-out name to a larger board so I could double it up and glue it together. What wood would you use?
I would use wood veneer. You can see my video on it here: ua-cam.com/video/89HvM9GawPc/v-deo.html
I just started to follow and subscribed.
Can the Maker cut magnetic sheets and felt?
Yes it can! I cut felt here: ua-cam.com/video/i2GTAm8gtHM/v-deo.html and the magnetic sheet here: ua-cam.com/video/QMEvMXPCNrI/v-deo.html
I was thinking about cutting thin wood from dollar tree not sure what setting? Also had a fail with a thin plastic platter it needed to be cut a little deeper what is a good setting for both?
I would do the thicker basswood setting but pause it every 5 or so passes and check to see if it is cut through. After you do one project, you will know for next time how long it takes.
Is there a way you can show us the different options the Cricut Designe studio has please?
Of course! I am actually doing a series of short videos on Cricut Design Space. You can watch them all here: ua-cam.com/video/N5BVAd39bUc/v-deo.html
