I got a cricut for Christmas and I of course started searching for videos to watch to help me learn all I can about the cricut. I came across your videos and I'm so glad I did. You explain everything so well and make it easy for someone like me that is new to the cricut to understand. I thank you so much for all you do! Awesome video!

Same, she's really good at staying on topic and her thorough instructions help so much.

[@sandraa9772]

I love watching your video's. It all reminds me of my late aunt who was an avid crafter. She would've enjoyed watching your video's too.

[@JenniferMaker]

Aww, Sandra, thank you so much! I take that as high praise, to be compared to a favorite aunt. Thanks for letting me know! 😍

[@lindasuehundley6864]

Wow,wow, wow! First day of Christmas Break and what gets me out of bed? Knowing that after viewing this well explained tutorial, I’m ready to create my own! So stinking excited to try this. Thank you, so much !,,,

[@rosaerivas395]

Oh my gosh, I had never seen a tutorial by you, but I started searching for Cricut tutorials because my daughter gifted me a Cricut Explore air 2 for Christmas and I am so Happy I found you!! You are such a professional, your instructions are concise and to the point. I am hooked. I am sort of new to Cricut, I am a bit intimidated by it, but you made it seem so easy! ,

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! Congrats on your new Cricut! Welcome to my channel! Happy to have you here! Lots of free tutorials and files on my blog as well! www.jennifermaker.com :-)

[@EsmereldaPea]

I had no idea that Cricket Design Space did slices. Thanks, Jennifer. I would try to slice out the ears so I could cut the head and the ears, and so on to eliminate weird lines, but this is a great quick way to do it!

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome! Thank you so much for watching! 😊🌻

Yes!!!! I’m having a Star Wars party for my six year old! This yoda design is perfect for my tablescape

You are amazing! I’m a Paraprofessional and required to make bulletin boards but I’ve been cutting things by hand even though I have a Cricut because I just didn’t understand. Now, thanks to you, I finally get it!

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay! You're going to rock those bulletin boards!

[@MamaDisney123]

Facts 😄

[@teddiev2720]

You never cease to amaze. Thank you!!!

[@CaseyJCarraher]

When you use the slice tool for 3 pieces, you only actually need to slice 2x - preferably the two ends. the middle is already sliced and contains ALL of the remainder. You don’t have to worry about “eyeballing” the alignment for overlap.

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome! Thanks for the suggestion!

[@EsmereldaPea]

On that note, you can do the middle slice, so you only have to do it once.

[@Maymay2umbrella]

With this video I am also trying to do the larger than cardstock so I can split large images for print and cut. It is a work in progress and patience but I am so excited!

[@JenniferMaker]

Wonderful!

[@MsLynnabelle]

I finally understand how this is done! Thank you for all you do - I am a newbie and it seems like the more videos I watched, the more confused I became. But you explain things so well, in step by step process, that I can follow what you are doing. Thank you so much for all your help!

[@JenniferMaker]

Well I am happy you found me and are finding my videos helpful, Lynn! Will you be making a larger than mat project anytime soon? :)

[@MsLynnabelle]

Jennifer Maker - Oh, no! I just got my Cricut on Saturday, but unfortunately haven't gotten the box that contains all the materials yet. So I've just been able to do the intro. project. But I did an upsize project when I was in design school, where I took a postcard I had created and turned it into a wall mural. It involved doing basically the same things you talked about, but using a copy machine. But until I watched this video, I didn't understand how people made things larger than their mats. And I watched several people because I was trying to figure it out, just because I was curious. Some of them talked about having to do calculations and all sorts of stuff that frightened me. But you are the one who, once again, has made total sense! I just wanted to let you know what a God send you have been, and how very much I appreciate you!

[@JenniferMaker]

@@MsLynnabelle Well, you are very sweet, Lynn! I'm so happy you're finding my videos helpful!
