CRAFTY

[@alannajaworski4703]

THANK YOU! First time mom here- finally had the courage to open my Cricut 1.5 years after it was gifted to me. Deciding what to make then learning how to do it with each project. Your channel has been very helpful and made using the machine less intimidating!

[@barbaraw9155]

Thanks for the great video! I didn’t feel like I HAD TO PURCHASE special brands and high priced subscriptions. You went slow enough for me to understand and feel confident in trying to make something. Thanks again!

[@mrcraftypants]

thanks so much for watching!! 😃

[@b.stanton410]

Ok, I bought the maker 3 when it first came out and I did a sample cut a yr ago and nothing since ( the joy too, already had a scan n cut sit on the shelf gather dust for yrs 😂). I've watch alot of vids but haven't applied anything. It's not rocket science, it's just that work has kept me too busy. Now I no longer work and have the time! I've watched so many instructors until I've gotten 'analysis paralysis.' HOWEVER....I REALLY like your approach and I can follow you without getting bored aft 10 min!!! (not knock all the others bec many of the others are really good too). I'm EXCITED to fin start using my machine! thx u

[@dianej6790]

Thank you for this Michael! I'm early in the video. I'm no longer a "newbie" but I'm always interested in learning the craft and you're one of my favorite tutors. I have to say, I probably tell newbies every day "jump into the shallow end of the pool and learn the craft, then you can move to the deep end - I don't advise you jumping into the deep end and getting totally frustrated". Most people seem to appreciate that advice. Feel free to use the phrase if you'd like.

[@mrcraftypants]

Great advice! 😃 Thanks for sharing!

[@beckivillamagna1734]

I love how you explain the process step-by-step. I always learn something new.

[@mrcraftypants]

That means the world to me!! Thank you so much for watching!

[@JodyBurgin-q1g]

Michael - I'm not sure you realize how great an instructor and communicator you are! I'm an old guy with undergraduate and graduate degrees in education, so I can appreciate the teaching/learning process. You nailed it. I learned so much from you in this beginner video and heard some super-valuable, relevant tips. Well done. Keep up the great work. Thank you so much! 😀I'm off the Cricut Workspace to start creating!

[@30daysofnene]

Im so glad i found you! I didn't know anything about cricut before i started watching you. I'm grateful you're still making this content. Don't stop! ❤

[@yolande1958]

Thank you. This is one of the best tutorials I have watched, and I've watched A LOT! No time-wasting with unnecessary chit-chat, really quick and punchy, which is great cos I can just pause and catch up if necessary, and you covered lots.

[@Captaintabiii]

LOVED THIS! I’m one of the ones who has my Cricut just sitting there collecting dust but you’ve got me so excited to start it up tomorrow for the first time. We need a second part to learn more ✨

[@debbiekrahn4698]

Hello from Victoria BC Canada. Loved this tutorial. I've had my cricut maker for a couple years and just used for the first time this past Christmas. I appreciate your honesty about the best products. To me the most intimidating part of crafting with a cutting machine is cricut design space. So glad to get some instruction and tips on that. Thank you❤

[@mrcraftypants]

Thank you so much for watching! So glad you liked it! 😊

You are one of the only reasons I didn’t throw my brand new maker 3 in the trash. Cricut makes the product, y’all make the product enjoyable! 😘

Thank you for taking the time to post this video AND for the links!! it was very helpful to a newbie. I appreciate the advice for where to purchase vinyl materials for less. I hate wasting product as I learn. Keep crafty!!

Awesome video, thank you! I’m looking forward to more beginner videos from you, most of the folks who do this talk way too fast and I can’t keep up with them (or their mouse) but you take your time and describe everything perfectly so a beginner can follow along. Thank you, I’m very grateful to have found you and look forward to learning more from you ❤️

[@sylviehart]

Thank you Michael! The way you explain things is straight forward, clear and to the point. Even if I’m not a beginner at this point, I can still watch your videos and learn something new and not be annoyed from your explanation on stuff I already know because it is so quick. You were meant to teach and I mean that in the nicest way. Some people are frustrating to watch and you are not that 😝

[@mrcraftypants]

that is a HUGE compliment! Thank you so much, Sylvie!! ❤

[@judiminer61]

Thank you so much for your time putting this video together. You are the first person that I could actually follow to where I feel I can use my Cricut.

[@IAmPamPoovey]

That Access membership has been awesome for me. It's not expensive, and i have a photo editor app that allows me to make stickers and save them as PNG files (and it has a better background removal function than the Cricut app does). I can make ANYTHING with these two apps combined. Not just that, but Access membership gives me INCREDIBLE exclusive discounts on all kinds of Cricut products. I love it. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it's definitely for me! Thank you for another great video! It's awesome to check out beginner tutorials because with such a versatile machine, I often find in these tutorials things I might have missed or even just completely forgotten about! You're the best, Michael!

[@IAmPamPoovey]

And, YES, StarCraft is absolutely superior and cost-effective!

Wow! This was a phenomenal tutorial. You really have a gift for teaching. Can you share which purple is on the top of your machine? It’s a fabulous shade!

[@Yabba90do]

Great video and learning so much from you. However im not sure if you are aware without cricut access you cant upload an image with layers to the canvas. I end up using the duplicate and contour to create layers. I would be interested how you go around this?

[@Lcshell]

Great video Michael! You are an amazing teacher 💜 I learned some valuable information and can’t wait to “binge” more of your stuff! Thank you 😊

[@mrcraftypants]

Thank you so much! That means so much to me! Thanks for watching! 😊

[@lindachapman4352]

I agree took me a while to figure out and lots of money to see that it was Cricut brand material that was most of my problems when making things. I don't buy their materials anymore, I still have some left but very weary of using it.

[@lisafriday8047]

Thank you so much for this video, it was so helpful. I am looking forward to your other videos for beginners.

Another amazing tutorial. You cover everything so nicely and I have yet not to learn at least a little something from each of your videos. I’m forever thankful for that suggested video that KZbin told me to watch. I know for sure I would have gotten beyond frustrated with Cricut and their products if it hadn’t been for you.

[@mrcraftypants]

[@fmccrea4631]

I am so thankful I came across one of your videos a few days ago. After two months of trial and error (mostly error) with my new Cricut, I felt overwhelmed and defeated. Now, I am a Mr. Crafty Pants fan for life!

Just finished your sweatshirt section. You just made me want to try HTV, which I have been avoiding because it seemed to far towards the deep end of the pool for me. I have had an easy press for several months and have been afraid to try it. Thanks again Michael!!!

I'm SO glad that section has helped! 😃You should definitely try it! You'll love it once you do!

Thank-you for being such a good teacher. You helped me learn so quickly. Gonna create stickers now lol

[@ariofsouthdakota]

Im getting into book binding. and ordered a cricut so I can just cut the book designs out of HTV rather then spend even more $$ to buy all the stamps and risk messing up. Saw a cricut hack where someone just cuts out the entire design on HTV. There are a few other items I wanted to buy a cricut for. so this was honestly a very helpful video because it didnt just go over 1 topic. I wanted to see more that I can do with the cricut so I can actually justify the purchase with my BF. So Thank you very much for this informational video.

[@darlenebingham6032]

Glad to see you again and as always enjoyed watching your video.

[@mariafortunato8015]

Hi. I like your videos. Is there anywhere else I can get your free designs as my computer says there is an error and won't let me get them. Perhaps it's because this is from February and we today is October 19, 2024. Thanks

[@GogoMoyoSpeaks]

So is the printer and regular printer or is it a sublimation printer? I'm asking if I'd need two printers? One regular and a sub printer to print out my different designs for different kinds of uses. Thanks for the great video. 👊🏽

[@mrcraftypants]

That was a regular inkjet printer. You would need a separate printer for sublimation if you’re wanting to also go that route. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! 😊

THANK YOU MR. CRAFTY PANTS for this!!! In the first few minutes of your video, I learned something I wasn’t aware of… I’ve been paying $9.99 a month for Cricut Access not realizing that I was only renting the fonts and designs. Creative Fabrica is still running the 86% off ($47/year) deal as of 5/29/24 with many Many more designs and fonts!

What a great video. Very well done and informative. I have one question how did you get the cricut to cut the sweatshirt design that big? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.😊

Thank you so much! The design was only 11” x 10.37”, but I think it probably looks a little bigger on that size of sweatshirt 😊

I just didnt wanna purchase the all access membership if i had to purchase other stuff with it .. if that makes sense.

[@lisavanderhoof]

I have the creative fabrica membership and it's great! The fonts graphics etc are all included. I haven't found anything yet that isn't part of the membership. I can't see why someone wouldn't just get it vs buy the files

[@Im.a.Whosoever]

@@lisavanderhoof ya that's true. And u are talkin about the ALL ACCESS plan that's usually $29 a month but now they have it for $3.99 if u get yearly?? Just wanna make sure that's wat ur talkin about LOL . I just been weary purchasing it cause I haven't ever had a membership thru them so I wasn't sure. U know how some places are they say its this amount then when u get it its somethin else u gotta purchase or what u thought u were getting wasnt wat u got . I just had a membership with a certain website (not goin to mention tbe name just bc i dnt wanna put them on blast lol) but they were like that so its really made me weary about memberships. Anyway Thanks so much for replying back. It has hped me alot.

[@lisavanderhoof]

Yes it's the all access plan. I paid the $47​ for the year which is the 3.99 deal a month broke down deal. I've had a membership since 2022 and have renewed it while they had this deal going last November@@Im.a.Whosoever

thank you do you have a uk version thats better than cricut ones please

[@lisavanderhoof]

With Cricut access you are able to save more projects or have a larger number of project folders aren't you? I think there was more to it than just the designs and font I thought

[@mrcraftypants]

They have some additional perks, but for me, personally, not enough to warrant the price tag. If it's worth it for you, then that's all that matters. 😃❤

Thanks for a great tutorial Micheal! I have a question hopefully you or someone can answer, I downloaded an image off of DesignBundles and for some reason my layers are not broken down. It is the word Love (in a square and the O is a Heart in Red) the rest of the word is in Black. Can someone help me? The only way I can get it to work is if I go in to “Contour” and shade out what needs to be shaded. Can someone help me? Thanks in advance! 😊

[@mrcraftypants]

Hey James! Thanks so much for watching! As for that image, it sounds like the design would have to have at least 2 layers. 1 for the black and 1 for the red. If all of the black is one single layer and you want to break that up into additional colors, then contour is really the only option for that.

[@jamesbarlowjr.3762]

@@mrcraftypants Thanks So Much Micheal. Ohh ok. I’m still getting familiar with everything. And just getting discouraged, cause when I see you do things and go to different tabs on DesignSpace my program doesn’t seem to have the same thing. It’s really weird. I’m using Windows which In some of your videos that you have done projects that I wanted to try don’t seem to be the same. And just very confused and again getting discouraged. I’ll try the Contour and see what happens. If I continue to still have issues or if I can email what the image is that would help me out to explain. I just wish there was classes I can attend to learn and interact with a group or one on one. But Thanks for your reply I really appreciate it and love your videos! 😊

It helps builds our confidence and allows us to learn without fear of making mistakes, to take that step away from the shore on a new journey whether it be our first beginner project or others as we grow.

So here's my comment About cricket as About cricket as well. I think their machines are great like you said, but I don't buy none of their vinyl unless I absolutely have to. But I do like some of their tools. But I like the fact that you're. Showing her stuff, that's not cricket brand. Cause I've had my cricket for years At least my Maker. And I'm still not savvy with all of the features and stuff so I have to usually ask how to do something when it comes time for me to do something I want to do I usually just make stuff for myself.
