Tanner, I am really loving these short, hands on videos. While your videos are always good, I don’t have time to watch hour long videos. The shorter ones are perfect for me.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So glad you love it!

TIME STAMPS 🥳: Varnishing Vinyl before cutting: 1:33 Using correct mat: 6:56 Tip for Layering Vinyl: 10:33 (AWESOME TIP!!) Letter spacing/welding: 12:37 Measure correctly: 14:11 ** I love your videos!! ** 💜

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Oh my gosh I need to start adding these in every video!

[@katelynquinn5652]

I finally joined the cricut owners club by buying a cricut maker machine this week. Watching your KZbin videos Tanner to learn how to use it.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thanks for watching!

[@Kateseyes]

Varnishing the vinyl before weeding was my favorite. I think this hack will help me a lot. Thank you❤

[@stickinug]

Thanks for the tips! I'm especially grateful for the one about taking cardstock off my mat!

[@yolandabranner6200]

I enjoyed seeing these hacks. What I didn't see is changing a print and cut to a basic cut. I have been having a time doing it. If you can tell me how lease let me know

[@lou-anntedesco2567]

Thanks so much for reminding me to burnish the vinyl before cutting. I loved how you showed to use glitter with reg vinyl 😁. Thanks so much!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

[@tinascott7126]

Thank you for all the tips and tricks. I'm new to cricut crafting and I found a lot of your videos very helpful. The one I seen today that I'm going to start using is flipping the mat over to remove the vinyl. Again. Thank you! 💖💖

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You are so welcome!

[@sherylwilliams54]

The layering one was my favorite! One Issue I've run into as a new Cricut owner is getting small letters to stay on the backing without getting out of place.

[@omgxtay972]

YESSS! This one is awesome

[@bgwylie]

The best one for me is the measure one

[@wendyleigh4558]

I never thought to lightly burnish before weeding. Expecting that to be a game changer for me.

[@tamarabarrick7139]

Love the shorter videos! Thank you they fit in my busy schedule.

Good to know!

I loved the tip on how to layer with glitter vinyl. All the tips are great!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So glad!

Welding the letters together

[@laurieschierer5906]

Probably burnishing before I weed is something I don't always do. Thanks! Nice job Tanner.

[@mrsmcphate]

Thanks! I learned a couple things! Very helpful!

[@hrgarry]

Slice!! Didn’t know about that one!! Thanks.

[@susanlavislopez5211]

I liked the slice.

[@marikiemarie7622]

Lol I wad told to never weed after cutting. Ever. Only press down with hand in a few problematic spots. If I weed, the entire quote comes up. Everytime. And my paper rolls on a light grip mat. Most everything rolls no matter mad or material I use.

[@MissMolly3377]

I totally think you created a new word for texting, Tyler....Y u're. Before you said you had to put the "o" back, I just thought it was a southern thing, and thought it was an adorable way to spell that. 😂

[@debrawest3562]

Using shapes and slicing.

[@craftedbyra7507]

Just found your channel and am a cricut newbie!! Thanks for you vids they are so helpful and full of great ideas and tips, I really like the idea of sizing up your object and putting into design space before actually cutting, it is something I have been doing and find it so much more useful and time saving and not to mention less wasting of expensive supplies!

[@sophietowns8966]

HELP, I just got a Cricut this Christmas and I am learning on the go! I made a couple stickers/decals yesterday and put the transfer tape on them after I cut and weeded them but they are not sticking to the transfer tape so I can’t take the sticker off to place it where I want it ! :(

[@amyeethomas2495]

Im still having issues wirh tiny letters using regular vinyl. I'm trying to make faux mini mini bookstacks. Like I need my letters at at like a quarter inch. I'm about to try it wirh htvs ince I've been having better luck with it

[@saladhead99]

Can I cancel my design space membership if I join your program?

[@lenaboissonneault7071]

ive had so many problems with using lighter materials such as cardstock and even patterned paper with the mats. I've tried different mats and materials and everytime it all sticks to the mat after the cut. So frustrating that im doing cutting for paper by hand instead as i have wasted alot of material trying this.If you have any suggestions i would appreciate and try again. thanks

[@barbaracarlson1331]

Don’t use design space…….have two machines but not sure how to begin. I have many cartridges

[@akarph]

Liked this. The best hack for me is burnishing vinyl after the cut.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

So glad you liked it!

[@OliviaLyons-r9j]

I wish i knew i needed a whole ink jet printer for my cricut explore air 2!! I don't have one!

[@isabelsierra3331]

New member here. Really enjoying your videos. Nice tips today. It’s the simplest things we never think about and they’re so helpful.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Welcome welcome!

[@tihwbfam2138]

Pretty sure you used the wrong terms a couple of times which would make the video a bit confusing for new crafters .

[@tracylee4938]

Love it!!!! Thank you so much Tanner I'm very new to design space and you cleared up alot. For me this was very awsome thank you again!!!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You are so welcome!❤

[@lauramoore4064]

Never thought of burnishing after cutting. Will have to try this out.

[@sandyh8755]

I think it would be very confusing to new users when you interchange burnish and weed as you did in the first demo. You said weed when you meant burnish and burnish when you meant weed.

[@lisamananzan9702]

Thank you for your video. The one I never thought to use is to measure the item and place in DS. Thanks for the tip.

[@brendanurre1517]

I hate to be the one to complain, but the closed captions on this video are awful and make no sense period! I am Deaf and rely on the captions to follow along.

[@nikkiearley3114]

The last tip was so helpful! I’ve never thought about measuring my item and putting it in design space. I will totally start doing this!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Glad it was helpful!

[@robynweber5516]

Tanner how do I print my large rectangle on my Cricut?

[@berdierathman8820]

Never burnished after cutting but will now seeing the difference.

[@Carolynann43920]

I'm trying to make hats, and Ive ruined 3 hats!! Ho long do I keep the heat on it, and at what heat setting? Yes I have the cricut hat heater

[@alexandralozano5553]

I always make sure to vernish after cut that's how you loose letters and small things

[@lou-gj3wn]

I have not used the cricut yet. I have been watching videos and loved your video.

[@JediTim28]

Great tips... Knew of some, specifically flipping over the mat to remove. Really liked the last to help visualize where it will be placed. Thanks.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thanks for watching!

I wish the DS was the same in the mobile app.

[@aprilwalker360]

I even got a cricit light pad that helps alot

[@michelleallen9661]

Along with the mat tips, keep in mind that hobby lobby mats are tackier than Cricut mats. The paper studio light grip is stronger than the Cricut standard grip until you use it a bit

My favorite tip was to turn the mat over and let gravity help you with peeling off the material from the mat.

[@staceydailey6394]

Always love your videos! I have a question tho! I was working on making stocking tags on acrylic tags using the Be Merry cut file (the one with the scroll) but I couldn't figure out how to change the colors from solid black to having red berries and green leaves..... any clues? I'm loving my new yearly membership but would love a video on how to change the colors in a solid color file. Thanks Tanner!

[@danagilardi1273]

I haven't been able to figure that out either! What I do is duplicate it.. then say change the entire color to red(for berries) then slice off the leaves.. do the same make one all green then slice off the berries.. and so forth.. then piece them together... not that it's an easy solution but hope it helps you

[@brandiehammond]

@@danagilardi1273 that’s a good idea. I’ll have to try this. Iam a newbie still. I have a lot of files that are one layered and wanted some of them to have a pop of different colors., but didn’t know what to do. Thanks for the tip!
