40+ Essential Cricut Tips, Tricks and Hacks

[@CriftyCrafty]

Hi lovelies, Thankyou did joining me. Make sure you pop over to the blog www.criftycrafty.com for more great tutorials❤️

[@MissChelle]

Crifty Crafty thanks for sharing your awesome tips, but what caught my eye even more is your beautiful nail polish! Care to share the brand & name? I must have it! 🇦🇺❤️

[@sarabettridge753]

Hello! I want to order a cricut bundle off the website as they seem to have a really good essentials bundle at the moment, along with an explore air 2. However, I can't seem to ship to the UK. Do you know if they ship here at all? Thanks x

[@CriftyCrafty]

{Miss.Chelle.Aus} That one was a nail inc one. I believe it was livin for the billion ❤️

[@CriftyCrafty]

Sara Bettridge I’m afraid not lovely. You can purchase from HobbyCraft, John Lewis and other places. Cricut are working on a website for over here and once the teething problems with it are done I will have codes and discounts for it but that won’t be for a while. You can order from Hochanda which is a bit like QVC, they have special show offers and new website signups can get a 20% discount. Delivery can be variable from 1 week to over a month though. It’s worth checking their site for shoe days and wait until the show because the bundles normally reduce when the shoe starts and then you can use a 20% off code as well

A newbie Cricut user here - whole family is, by the way. We’re helping our adult son find his passion in creative expression with the hope it will develop into a sustainable enterprise, given he has an intellectual challenge, but a natural aptitude for crafting, this venture makes good sense. Four minutes in to this video and I’ve learned more than at any other time or source source of info. Going back to watch the rest, just needed to share that tidbit.

[@sarahedwards8987]

I am a new 'Cricut' player. I have just stumbled across this video, OMG, you have made my day. I have subscribed and can't wait to watch more.

[@lynmcneil5922]

This is the most comprehensive tutorial of ACTUAL tips and tricks. I learned more in 43 minutes than the last 69 videos I watched, all of them giving me the ever-elusive advice of purchasing the essential tool kit. Also - thank you for explaining things well, not wasting my time with nonsense, and showing us how you organize and utilize those pesky remnants.

[@CrzyDemona]

Thorough, but not overly talky. Great tips and examples without wasting our time. You're magical!

[@magick1964fjl]

You are the only person I have seen do the clipping your transfer tape and I can not believe that anyone would not want to do this. Since I have learned this from you I do not dread curved surfaces with applying vinyl. You are amazing. Your tutorials are so informative. You take time to explain so well. Thank you for your tutorials. I would watch your everyday. I have been telling ppl about you. God bless

[@CriftyCrafty]

Flora Long Thankyou sweet. I know you watch all the time. It means so much that I’m helping you in your Cricut journey. Thankyou for all your love and support❤️

[@denisechristian6477]

A newbie here....I have learned so much from this video, you made the process not so scary to try. Can not wait to try some of these. Some people's videos are ok but they talk so much, you forget what they are doing. Yours is precise to the point and no nonsense added...Thank you

[@akpicc]

I'm so happy I found your videos. I'm borrowing a family members Maker and have been frustrated, but this us the first video I've watched of yours and you have already made things clearer. Thank you.

[@robynhanson37]

I, too, stumbled on your video and was very pleased. Your comments flowed freely and you got right to the point, which I really appreciate!

[@kimwhite4671]

Excellent video

[@ohmytash6517]

[@monicab28]

I'm subscribing to your channel because not only is the info fabulous, but I could listen to you talk all day long!! Love your accent!!

[@yaryrodriguez7776]

Yes, please keep sharing your tricks. Thank you!

[@nuna124]

Amazing video! I have 1 more tip for you, your cricut mats are taking up so much space of ur peg board, what I did is hang them at the bottom of it so like in the last hole so it hangs down and not cover so much space of my peg board.

[@woolagains9826]

I just now found you!!!!!!YOU ARE AWESOME!!! WHAT A DELIGHT TO WATCH. And so very easy to understand! I think these have been the best tips, tricks and hacks I HAVE EVER Seen!!

[@deborahdavis353]

You are WONDERFUL!!! These tricks and tips are fantastic.

[@SashasRevenge]

You are a natural at this, no wasted time at all and totally full of information.

[@annah1242]

I watched 5 videos before yours and yours is by far the most thorough. You also don't waste time on talking, you're right to the point, and I don't feel like an idiot when you're trying to explain something. So THANK YOU for knowing your audience and being yourself. I subscribed and hit the bell.

[@CriftyCrafty]

anna vaughan Thankyou. I hope you had a lovely Christmas and a great New Years ❤️

[@LorraineCastellon-Rowe]

Absolutely awesome!!! These tips, tricks and hacks are going to save me a lot of time and money!!! Thank you so very much for taking the time to share this with us!!! Yes!!! I would LOVE another video like this. I want to know every tip, trick and hack you know!!! Thanks again!!! ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@noelwilliams65]

Don't usually watch long videos, but your video had a variety of information I needed. Thank you

[@traceyinmaine4936]

Just got my first Cricut, was trying to figure out how to use it and for what when I found your video and feel much better about it now! I understand its use and know what accessories I will need to start creating! Thank you for not talking too much or spending too long on each tip!

[@davidbodurtha7417]

Very helpful for a new designer, I have run an embroidery screen printing business and this is a logical step for a home winter business while working on my latest business (rainwater haresting). Thank you for taking the time, good editing directly from one subject into the next (didn't catch it, thats what the pause back bottons are for) so very little dead time, nice.

[@CriftyCrafty]

David Bodurtha Thankyou lovely. So glad it helped and good luck with the rain water harvesting. Yes it absolutely is a logical step. You know you can create your own designs, add the vinyl and then screen print your own stencils?

[@kimoberbillig-white9307]

More tips, tricks and hacks please. These were great and very useful.

[@kandykittyful]

Washi Tape setting!!!! 😱Genius! Totally worked, wow, wish I knew that trick sooner. I had given up on small intricate cuts. Thank you so much, changed my Cricut life 😍🥰

[@CriftyCrafty]

kandykittyful Best setting ever!!❤️

[@gloseatsandthings]

THANK YOU for all your tips. I'm a rookie with a cricut and you made me see the light. THANKS!

[@janetlloyd7879]

Beginner at all things Cricut and this video helped explain a lot of things and had many helpful hints. Thank you.

[@yelena86]

Thank you for making this video and sharing these wonderful hacks with us. I’m a beginner crafter so this video is very much appreciated! Sending love to you and your loved ones 👍✌️🙏❤️💕

[@alma.702]

I'm finally going to buy my first cricut. 1. Your video is the best that I have found, it's very informative and not rushed. Thank you. 2. Once I buy my machine, what tools and how many of each should I buy to get going and start practicing. Thank you.

[@CriftyCrafty]

Miss_Ivy Try and get a bundle if you can but really you need some weeding tools, a scraper or fabric brayer and that’s it to start with. The rest you can build up as you need them❤️

[@lisacubstead289]

I AM BRAND NEW TO CRICUT!!!! YOU are honestly the best I have watched by far! Thank you for being so helpful and easy to follow!

I just found your channel. I'm new to cricut. Just got the maker 3 and the heat press. I love listening to you and especially the tips and tricks video was excellent...I found I kept talking to myself throughout the video..." now she is one smart cookie" lol. Thanks so much for sharing all of these. I love learning the insider tricks first when I start something new, makes me feel ahead of the game. Looking forward to watching and 'listening' to more of your videos.

[@lmiz8011]

Wow so glad I came upon your video. Still trying to learn how to use my air. I agree that Cricut is hard to figure out. So glad there are videos out there that can explain things. GREAT JOB! Thanks a million

[@karenellis9621]

Thank You! I too have found Cricut to be very difficult to figure out, and no instructions included, and I don't see any basic beginner on the cricut site! These explanations and tips have cleared up a lot for me, much thanks! Great vid, well done!

[@CriftyCrafty]

Karen Ellis I’m so glad it helped. It can be daunting at first but remember- we all started with a machine in a box.❤️

[@CriftyCrafty]

Carol Tillietmo Thankyou ❤️

[@mojo2613]

Thanks so much... I stumbled on to this video and so glad I did! Yes, please do more!! I've found Cricut to be very difficult to figure out, and no instructions included, and hard to find answers online. These tips and tricks are a lifesaver! And I find your explanations clear and concise... and I appreciate that you don't repeat everything 2 or 3 times! Great job!

[@CriftyCrafty]

mojo2613 So glad it helped. We all started the same way and it can be very daunting. It will all click though❤️

[@laneiam]

I totally agree with your post finding the Cricut hard to complete a project. She speaks slowly but dies not drone her word and she speaks at a nice tone with no back round noise.

[@kaylblake15]

There are a lot of Facebook groups you can join that are also very helpful!

[@ruthbutler6725]

Your video was amazing! I learned a lot of new things to help with my crafting, which is going to be great! Also, being a southern Yankee, I love your accent and the way you pronounce some of your words! Adorable!
