If you’re reading this post, chances are, you’re a creative type. You like to craft, explore your creativity, and share your creations with others. And it’s for people like you that Cricut created their line of personal electronic cutting machines. 

A little known fact about Cricut is that they’ve actually been in business for over 50 years, and their primary purpose has been to develop tools that inspire creativity in people. 

Today, millions of people use Cricut’s award-winning products to create beautiful, inventive, and personal projects. 

So, what is Cricut? Cricut is actually a family of electronic cutting machines that make it possible for you to easily create amazing do-it-yourself (DIY) projects. Well, not totally DIY because Cricut’s incredible machine’s do a LOT of the heavy lifting. 

The two machines that Cricut offers are: To give you loads of creative freedom and versatility, Cricut developed the Cricut Design Space™, a cloud-based software that works seamlessly with the Cricut Explore® family of machines. 

Design Space gives you access to all of your images and projects from any compatible computer or iPad, so you can design just about anything, anytime, and anywhere. 

Once you’ve uploaded your design (or pre-designed image) to your Cricut Explore cutting machine, you can sit back and watch it magically bring your design to life. 

There are so many interesting things you can make and do with Cricut – which we’ll be sure to cover in a future post. But before we get too ahead of ourselves, it’s best to go over each of Cricut’s machines, what they do, and how they are different. And since I’ve given you quite a bit of info already, we’ll pick up on there in next week’s post!

Until then … happy crafting!

Mass Slicing & Making Stencils in Cricut Design Space

Cricut Explore : How to use slice feature





I created a very, quick video this morning on how to use the slice feature.  It is so simple.  The rule for slice is that only 2 images can be displayed on the screen and selected to slice.   Please comment or leave questions.

Cricut Explore: 7 Minute Sunday: Crazy Black Cat Lady Mug continued





My wacky sense of humor is used on this cup.  I show you how to create a project from start to finish using the Cricut Explore.  If you are interested in buying your own Cricut Explore, please use my Affiliate Link on the right side of this page.  I am an affiliate for Expressions Vinyl too.  You can find that link under the Cricut link.


Today's project is in 2 videos.  I apologize for this.  I use my phone to create these videos.  I am a crafter and I love to share projects and my knowledge.   My videos are not slick, professional presentations.  They do the job though.  I will feature a project in a seven minute or under format. Today, I went over.   It is worth it though.
