Jennifer, you are a natural teacher and soo likeable. If you're a horrible person in real life I never want to know because i'd be crushed! 🤣 You're awesome. Thanks for all you do for us❣️
The Master Miyagi of Cricut among other crafts. I appreciate the time and to the point videos she does. Her personality is inviting and understanding. She had me at first video. I’ve been sticking with her ever since.
Jennifer you have opened up a whole new world for me and my Cricut. I was ready to sell it when I decided to sit down and try do something with it. I found your video and the rest is history. Thank you Thank you Thank you
What would be great for a beginner’s tutorial, is an explanation of what each part of DS does….eg welding, attaching, etc, and when or why to use it…that is the most confusing part for me as a beginner…you tell what to use, but don’t explain why or what each function….so I don’t know the right steps…very intimidating
Thank you for being so encouraging & for taking the time to keep us newbies onboard. I usually just try to “figure it out”😅but with your direction & advice I have saved a ton of time, money, & years of my life 😂. Be Well!
OMG I've had a Cricut Explore Air 2 sitting in a box for 3 years and now after finding your videos I'm going to take it out and give it a whirl. Thank you and please don't stop sharing your videos.❤
I hope you’ve opened up your Cricut by now and tried out some projects. I started with HTV, then went to vinyl adhesives, then to card-making. I hope you’re experimenting with your machine. 👍🏼
You’re an amazing teacher. I’m grateful I found your channel. You shared very useful tricks! ❤ thank you for sharing & spending the time to Create this video ❤
All good tips and tricks. Thank you. PS there is a lip on the top lid of the larger machines which work as a holder for the mats. I found this hack on tiktok and helps with lining up the mats when replacing the protective sheet😊
I am not a crafter, yet. However, I decided to invest in the Cricut Maker 3 fabric cutting bundle. It's a very nice product. I'm impressed with the quality and ease-of-use. Interestingly, the tutorials did not show much about wood and fabric cutting. I needed to search for RU-vid presentations and books to begin learning what to do. One of your presentations appeared. Thank you for being an excellent teacher and writer. I'm looking forward to turning Maker 3 into a useful tool for my fabrication center. Your tutorials will make that possible. Thank you!
That is why I always come back to your videos! I definitely prefer having a wireless connection , HOWEVER, while working on a big project it got disconnected and my printer went haywire, reprinting the same thing and it was awful! Now I use the cable but I should of rewatched your video first ! I also will use the blade cleaning method you suggested as my blade gets dirty and sometimes i struggle to clean it!
I loved your program and I haven't used my Cricut since the pandemic. I have forgotten so much but now I feel the need to get busy again as my husband passed away and I feel I need it to give me a new interest to be excited for. I need help getting started so I would like to start with you.....pat
I just got my cricut explore 3 yesterday. I have never used any Cricut product before now! I'm so excited I found your channel and this video is the 1st I've watched! Very informative!! Thank you.
I just got the cricut maker 3 for Christmas. I’m so glad I found you. I’ve already watched hours of your tutorials.Thanks so much. I’m so excited to start making.
Thanks Jennifer! After watching your tutorial I was able to figure out I have an outdated machine that is no longer supported. Expression 2 ; so I can use it somewhat until I get a new updated version, can't wait. You will be my go to!
I just finished watching your video. I just want to say thank you for all of your tips. I also want to say that you are truly a lovely person. In the way that you provide the I formation really captures your attention. You explain things so clearly I can’t wait to really start using my cricut. I will be watching all of your video classes.
I learned some things that I REALLY appreciate you saying. I've had my Explore 2 for a few years. Biggest issue with the mats. I'm in bed a lot and I have dogs. The cricut and mats are on a clean shelf but despite all my carefulness, I still end up with dog hair. I tried the wipes, doesn't work for me. I have lots of mats (green) just bought several more and this hair issue even though I did it all on the clean shelf, not sure if hair coming off my pj's or what. Should I use the scraper or is there a better way? I saw you said detergent and warm water. I'll try that. I don't want to throw them out. I subscribe to Design Space Access for the monthly fee. My Cricut helps me with depression and gets the creative juices going. I'm disabled with chronic pain. My absolute favorite is Holographic vinyl! Is it okay to use it for a bumper sticker? I live in a state with all 4 seasons full on. Usually not much below zero but snow, in summer hot and humid. I just loved your tutorial. Best one yet and I could relate to everything you said. Thank you soooooo much! I have probably under 10 people I subscribe to all together, not just Cricut. Thank you for the roller tip as well. I was just putting on the mat and by hand securing it. Love the foil thing. I didn't think about the adhesive being on the blade. I use a LOT of vinyl and just hate that I can't get intricate cuts without it making a huge mess. Replacing has been my Go to but that foil! Definitely doing that. Sorry for the novel I just wrote to you. Thank you for your time! You're the BEST!
Jennifer, I am so excited, And just can’t wait! I love all your projects…can’t wait to do the welcome sign too! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts/talents with us! Blessings 🥰😁
I still have and use one of the first styles. I got it in 2007. I did get the new Cricut Maker 3 for Christmas!! Cant wait to use it. Thank you so much for the helpful videos!!
I’m excited to find your channel!! I’m a Michigander too. I lived in the Grand Rapids my whole life until 2 years ago. Now we are out west. I miss home!!
What a GREAT tutorial. I have been so frustrated with the learning process (yes, I’m a Cricut virgin-I have a Explore Air 2) that I almost gave up. I have new hope now. You are very good at what you do and I will visit your website soon. Thank you so much from a newbie in Calgary, Canada.

Just got the Circut maker 3 for Christmas and your tutorial made it super easy to put as many labels in the sample canvas sheet it comes with so I already started labeling things around the house. Can't wait to learn how to do the kind of stuff you have on your background!!!
Thank you so much for these great tips!!! I actually forgot about the hidden compartment in my cricut air and when I opened it up after viewing this video, I found my lost cricut scraper!
I am just starting my Cricut adventure and am very technically challenged so this video helped. Where would you suggest I go from here to get more basics or Circut 101 help? You are such an inspiration I know I am going to love all your videos.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!!! I'm hoping to get a Cricut Maker soon and knowing I can use the Design Space prior, to learn how to use it is AMAZING!!! THANK YOU, AGAIN!
thank you thank you thank you! I am a new user and am very overwhelmed...don't know where to start. Found your videos and they are awesome! So much to learn!
I love your tutorials and sharing the great tips on helping get the most out of my cricut! Love the compactness of the xtra with the capability of the regular cricut! We love love love stickers and customizing our own. Enjoyed your comparison on waterproofing stickers! I work as a nurse at a day surgery unit. We at times have pediatric pts and need to customize our giveaways from adults to children. If I got this cricut joy xtra, I would use it to make stickers for our pediatric patients for their water cups and iron ons their belongings bag!
This was great! I missed the live so I watched the replay. I didn't know about the ctrl+2 tip, so thank you for that! I'm really looking forward to the Maker weekend!
I don't even have a Cricut and still watched your video. Not sure which one to buy. Thanks for sharing, you are very interesting and easy to understand.
Hi Jennifer! TY so much for all you do and explaining all about the cricut. I bought The Cricut Explore 3. I have so many crafts ideas in my head that I would like to do, like, I have a large cross mold to use resin that I wanted to make adding Bible verses, etc... But I have no idea how to go about picking the right font , sizes of the verses, and so forth . All I do is stare at this machine, not knowing how to go about doing this. Is there a tutorial you can point me to?
Thank you for having this here! Just purchased an Explore 3, should be here sometime this week and I can't wait!!!! (Totally new to this style of craft, so I can't wait to start my new journey!!! lol)
Aww I miss the lived so sorry 😢 was on FaceTime with my sister in Ireland, got to watch the time difference for next week, I lived in Chilliwack B.C. Canada! You are a brilliant teacherJennifer thank you so much for everything! Really enjoy this class 😊 yes I have use your idea on cleaning the tools and the mat awesome 👏 👏👏I have the Cricut Make#3 thank you Jennifer once again hugs Liz ❤PS Got My Ticket!!!!
Dear Jennifer, I’m Maria from Shropshire England. I will be receiving my new cricut maker 3 today and would like advice on some of the best crafts to start with. I had a cricut many moons ago but haven’t used it in a long time. I have so many ideas I want to make but I don’t want to overwhelm myself when first getting started. I have been making crafts using a sizzix big shot plus for many years but felt it time to enlarge the scope of my craft projects. I love the RU-vid videos you make and I have to say I am in awe of your talent. Thank you for sharing your craft knowledge and please note you are very much loved here in England as you are in America. Sending you happy crafting love Maria x
That is so exciting!! I have over 400 free tutorials and projects on my blog! I also suggest doing my free Cricut Kickoff course to get you familiar with your machine and Design Space🥰
Jennifer, you are the cutest little bundle of joy….!!!! If it was not for you, my Cricut Air Explorer 2 would be still in the box. I literally just took it out the other day; bought it a few years ago. I found myself so intimidated by the software/graphics, that I felt I’ll never be able to see through my confusion. What is the easiest way to start learning how to use the graphic software?

Two things one your last name how cool tell us how you thought about being a Maker and second there are always so many family signs and sayings are there any for us older and single grandma (younger ones) types that live alone . Will be getting the VIP PASS Monday! Can’t wait so many great ideas.
I gave my friend my old one and she bought me the joy cause i have no room for the large one..and she couldnt afford to buy the large one so we both win!
Jennifer I know I'm a little late on your video, but I am truly hoping you can help me on how to find fancy, script type fonts. I have tried everything to try to figure out how to choose one. I am a subscriber of Cricut Access yet I struggle 😫 Thank you for your time and you are my Cricut Hero !!!
Thank you for all the helpful tips, I did learn a few things. I try to buy all my items from Cricut because I can get better deals when they have sales. Its cheaper than Hobby Lobby and Michaels and I know its good quality.
Wow... I just found you and are amazed in what I have learned I am going get my cricut it was a gift and have yet to use it... Joined and I am so encouraged by you. Thank you so much...
Hi Jennifer! I'm new to Cricut and have been binge watching your channel. Thank you so much!!! I can tell I will be watching your videos over and over. Question: You mentioned keeping the vinyl on the roll if only using a small amount at the top, but you removed the entire protective film. Would it help to reapply the film about half-way down. This would keep the roll itself from sticking to the mat and might help extend the stickiness in that protective area. Just a thought. Now time to APPLY what I've been learning.
