Cricut Beginnings-Episode 3

[@loganscraftymomma]

@goodgriefyou I just learned how to use it right before I filmed this and I am like you...doubt I ever use it. BUT it will be good if you print out "phrases" liked stamped images and need to cut a pretty design around it. Thanks for watching!!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@soaksupthesun Thanks for watching. Sometimes the cricut is like a computer..it has a mind of its own. :)

[@jazzzi35]

Wow, great job! I haven't used those buttons yet, but I'm on my way to the craft room to try them out. Now I can't wait for Thursday to learn about the other buttons. I'm loving your new camera too - love the way it zooms and stays so clear! Thank you so much!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@poohgirl198024 I hope they do because they drive me cuts being blank. :) Thanks for watching!!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@vakev8 Its a cannon vixia HF M30 Have NO clue what all that means but its a great camera and easy to use. :) Thanks for watching.

[@loganscraftymomma]

@BitsOfLifePaperCrafs Thanks for watching! It will also be good if you want to make a design around a stamped image or such. :)

[@Penbrandy1]

You did it again....you helped me with something else....I have had so much trouble with the center point button....I think now I can figure it out!!....Thank you again!!....I love your new camera too....Have a great week!! Brandy

[@loganscraftymomma]

@KISW1980 Not on all cuts. I am doing a video strictly on the flip button so you and others can see why. :) Thanks so much for watching!!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@twinz4me2 Thank you for watching and commenting!!

[@Rod19114]

WOW! Heading to my workroom to practice what I just learned about my Cricut. Keep up the good work.

[@lindabell8]

I can't thankyou enough its lovely you give your time to help people like myself understand this machine.I just plugged mine in and twiddled and then unplugged it for the last three days (ive had it three days lol) and then i found your site i'm so excited yes! yes! yes! i just cut out a circle!!!!!!!!! :)) thankyou so much.

[@TheKam77]

Thanks for these videos, it is great you can go back and re-watch too!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@tuffytuffers I will be doing this in a future video!! Thanks for watching and giving me suggestions! :)

[@AGKCreations]

I am lovin' these video's. You are doing a great job. Thank you so much.

[@BitsOfLifePaperCrafs]

Thanks for another great class. I didn't understand how the center point button worked, but I do now. So going to have to try it out! :)

[@SussyJalec]

Awesome job! I got my Expression for Christmas but I already had a Gypsy that I used with my Create, I didn't really take the time to explore the extra buttons and features the Expression has from the Create. You've inspired me to check them out. Thanks for sharing and I love the new camera!

[@shtanah]

This is wonderful!!! I had forgotten what these buttons do and was wondering about the center point the other day! Thanks Shanta

[@maggiefriedrichs777]

Wow, you are very helpful.

[@loganscraftymomma]

@AGKCreations Thank you so much!!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@TheKam77 Thank you!! That is one reason I decided to put them on youtube so you could always look back and pause if you need to. :)

[@craftymama2007]

thanks for the great video. You are doing a great job explaining everything.

[@barbaramcfarland9079]

Great instructions

[@twinz4me2]

The information you are teaching is so helpful! Thank you for taking the time to explain things in a clear and concise manner, it is appreciated! Hugs, Christy

[@loganscraftymomma]

@GreenScrapinMachine Awww thank you Heather!! Have a great day!!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@jazzzi35 Thank you!! Its nice to be able to read the buttons now clearly! :)

[@loganscraftymomma]

@Penbrandy1 Thank you! It works great too when you want to cut around a stamped image or something .:)

[@ScrappinAngela]

yay i learned something new! i love learning new things! i was wondering what some of those buttons were for! thanks, carolanne!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@thefishie2 Thank you very much!!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@Cinfulwayoflife Thank you!!

[@narlesnave]

This newbie is back and thrilled that you discussed the multi cut button. I wasted lot's of cardstock b'cuz one cut through didn't do the job and I didn't know what to do. You are great!

[@rinifett]

Thank you!

[@luvally1]

Tfs I'm learning so much.

[@LoriHulstine]

Awesome series. You speak clearly & very detailed with information. Great video zooming, too. I think it would be great for a future episode to demo using the deep cut blade but not on thick chipboard just with cereal box material. I too have heard that the blade isnt strong enough for the thick chip board. Also, demo using thin arcrylic, shrinky dink plastic & transparency film for stencils. Keep up the good work.

[@loganscraftymomma]

@michsmith1973 Its a Cannon Vixia HF M30. It did come with a remote. Thanks so much! :)

[@loganscraftymomma]

@thecraftnut32 Thank you!!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@craftymama2007 Thank you!!

[@soaksupthesun]

Another great video for us newbies! Everything seemed to work for me except for the Center point button. I tried my mat that time with the whole and nothing seemed to work right. I'll stick to using the mat with the arrow.

[@tuffytuffers]

Thanks again for the great class. Could you please show how to cut chipboard with the deep cut blade. Thanks

[@loganscraftymomma]

@vswaddy620 Thank you!! :)

[@loganscraftymomma]

@uglybobswife Will said thanks for the sweet comment! :) Brook explained it great. If you still dont get it let me know and I can show you. :) Thanks for watching!

[@fasloan]

great job Carolann TFS

[@RinasAMaker]

Carolanne..... OK....... me and my Expression are moving to your house! LOL FINALLY someone took the time to explain AND SHOW what those functions do!! YAYAYAY!! I think by the time your series finishes, I might love my cricut again! :) And I left the CMB the same time you did. The new board is just AWEFUL!! THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS!!! :))

[@sandybohlen1495]

This is 2019, I’m still using these videos over & over..thank you❣️

[@debbiehayslrtte]

This was great. Tfs.

[@loganscraftymomma]

@shoeprincess1 Glad to know its not just my child..lol Thanks for watching. :)

[@loganscraftymomma]

@mysugarplumcottage They do recommend a certain thickness when using the deep cut blade so if you go over what they say then you could chance it breaking off. I will be doing a video on the dc blade soon so hopefully I can answer this more clearly. :) Thanks for watching Joyce..I mis your videos. :)

[@loganscraftymomma]

@dadamahe Thank you for watching! I agree with goingcricrazy...I dont see a problem with leaving it plugged in but use a surge protector if it would make you feel better! :)

[@cathyxox3999]

THANKS

[@RinasAMaker]

@dadamahe I always leave mine plugged in, but I have it on a surge protector.

[@dadamahe]

@GoinCriCrAzY Thanks, I'll have to go and get a surge protector. It has always worried me a lil. THANKS!

[@EmilyElisabethW]

I watched this back when you posted it, but I've never needed to use multicut. I'm working with DCWV glitter cardstock right now, and I came to find this video again. Thanks so much Carol Ann, you're so helpful! :)

[@loganscraftymomma]

@soaksupthesun Thank you for watching!!

[@mysugarplumcottage]

Thank you Carolanne! I have heard that the Cricut deep cut blade gets totally ruined and chips/brakes off when cutting regular chipboard for mini albums etc. It will cut thinner chipboard such as cereal box type material with a regular blade (or a deep cut) with the multi-cut button on--- but not regular or thick chipboard. Is this true? Thanks for all of your videos. They are a great refresher course for those of us who have the Cricut but have not actively used it. Hugz- Joyce

[@boocali]

You also need the deep cut blade an multi cut to cut the magnet sheets, lol I learned the hard way

[@GreenScrapinMachine]

I'm loving this series Carolanne! I've watched other videos showing how to use those buttons, but you did a much better job explaining them! I love the new camera too :) Thanks for all you do for us! Heather

[@loganscraftymomma]

@luvally1 Thank yoU!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@mamajt4 It works the same but it has some different features. It doesnt have alot of the same buttons that the expression has. When I owned the baby cricut I still used the same cardstock that you see me use in videos with my expression. :)

[@loganscraftymomma]

@goldyfishls Yes ma'am I can. :) Thanks for watching!!

[@naomijacobs7616]

Thank you so very much. My daughter got a newer model machine and gave me the Cricket Expression. I absoutely love this machine. You are a blessing for me. I am learning so much from you. Thank You I found you tonight on KZbin.

[@poohgirl198024]

Thanks for taking the time to do these videos! I was wondering what the xtra 1 & 2 buttons did. Wonder if they are ever going to do something with them. Can't wait to see your video for tomorrow :).

[@pesdsm]

Athank you I love your instructional videos excellent and easy to understand

[@Valeri4561]

Thank you very much for spending your time to make this video and the others, I found it very helpful while I was becoming very very frustrated while cutting a thicker card stock with detailed cuts. The multi cut and using a deep cut blade worked for me, but, had I not seen your video, I would still be pulling my hair out!!! LOL Thanks again!!

[@loganscraftymomma]

@brooknrich Thanks Brook for answering this!! :)

[@dadamahe]

Thanks first of all for this wonderful series. I was wondering is it o.k. to leave the machine pluged in? I know you were a lil fustrated that your baby boy unpluged it, but I've often wondered if I should unplug it if I'm done for the night. Also, I want to THANK YOU for the center point info. I've often wondered that was for, I'd press it and think that should move to the center of the paper. I didn't move & I just thought I did something wrong.LOL THANKS!!!!! :D

[@SpringRain2010]

WoW I have had the problem with the glitter paper DCWV too so I stopped using it in cricut. I thought the multi-cut meant cut more than one.like duh! So it cuts it twice NICE! THANKS for these classes caues I am more of a see & do rather that read a do...just computes better in my head. So most of what I have learned on the cricut is just by reading "a little" & punching buttons a lot to see what they do.. SO Thanks for ALL there classes. There was a class in my area $120.00 for six 1 hr classes

[@49lucky]

I thought that's what it meant also multi cut lol

[@loganscraftymomma]

@boocali I have never tried magnet. I have always wanted to but always forget. :( Thanks for watching!!

[@darlenemcdowell3383]

I have not used my Cricut machine in some time it was great watching your video's to remind me what the different buttons are for, some I have never used before but I plan on using them now. Again thank you for this tips.

[@soaksupthesun]

Thank you so much for taking the time to do these great tutorials! I'm a newbie to the Cricut and can't wait to start cutting :)

[@michsmith1973]

Another great video, your doing a super job going over each function. I do have a question....what kind of camera did you end up going with......have to know because the zoom really works nice....and did the removte come with it, or did you purchase that seperately? Looking forward to Thursday's tutorial.

[@robertalves3945]

I really like your videos. I have learned so much it's like taking my own personal class. Please continue to make more they are amazing. Thank you

[@loganscraftymomma]

@LoriHulstine I have some shrinky dink that I cut quite often so this is a great idea!! Be watching for a future video on this! Thanks for the idea!!! :)

[@redroses365]

I just got my first cricut machine. your videos help me a lot. Is an old machine but it works great, I there anything I should do to keep my machine working good for a very long time

[@loganscraftymomma]

@brooknrich Thanks girl! I dont think I want the imagine *gasp..I cant believe I said that*. Thanks for watching!

[@goldyfishls]

When you finish this series, could you show us cutting chipboard. I want to get the deep cut blade and cut some chipboard for mini albums. TYFS. Best Wishes Lucinda

[@alejandragcw]

Thanks a lot!!!!! you helped me a lot! many greetings from Utah! =)

[@sudmorris]

Great camera! love your zoom. This was very helpful. I am learning so much...The cricut can do more than I thought it could! LOL

[@loganscraftymomma]

@shtanah Thank you!

[@uglybobswife]

i have the deep cut blade but have no idea how to insert it into the cricut machine...would it be possible to do a video showing how to insert it? or send me in the direction of a YT video that shows how....thanks Carolanne....loving the new camera...so much clearer ( thanks Will for supporting your wonderful wife! ) Corrie aka uglybobswife

[@brendacarner9995]

THANKS SO MUCH. This is a very good class. I have lost my keyboard overlay, where can I ge a replacement

[@bradleymetcalf8906]

[@nealjudi2]

[@connieguy3671]

Thank you for another helpful video!!!! I'm just loving this!!!! You're great!!!!

[@crazylovingit]

Wow, I've learned so much. Thank you.

[@loganscraftymomma]

@crazylovingit1 Thank you!

[@KISW1980]

Hi! Just wondering.. instead of using the flip button, could you not just actually flip the cut over (after its been cut) so then if faces the other direction?

[@shoeprincess1]

Awesome! I am very familiar with my Expression but still am always learning from you girl! Thanks for this, it is just great! You are right, people should also read the comments to learn more :-) Btw, my daughter unplugs my machine all the time! AND, she cut my craft mat today! It never ends.......they are all the same LOL! TFS Hugs, Brigitte

[@NanaAlleta]

You did a great job, I'm learning a lot. What is the cricut board? And this is 2016 now, have they updated anything for those 2 buttons? Thanks

[@950meredith]

Have you doña a video showing how to use Computer with Expression. My cricut hit the floor and the button that changes letter sizes no longer will change. In speaking with Cricut that button can't be fixed, however, I can cut and do lots of things through computer. I need help with that.

[@adjones87]

Love your videos! But especially this one right off the bat...bc you were going off about your son!LOL We love em, but dang they can do some annoying crap! HAHA Keep up the good work!!

[@yolandamarshall9003]

Hi Carol Ann question when you cut any shape out in a corner on 12 by 12 why when I go to use the paper again it tells me to check my size or setting when you do it it moved over the heart and immediately started printing and cutting what am I missing

[@cindyribet7641]

great picture with your new camera but please don't move too far away because I can't hear you at all on most of the beginning

[@uglybobswife]

@brooknrich thanks for the info ..i really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my question Corrie aka uglybobswife

[@TheJacinda1]

Can this machine be connected to a computer to get online designs too? Been looking into getting one.

[@brownidgal]
