Drawing With Cricut Pens : How To Insert Cricut Pens & Draw with 8 Colors!

[@nancywatson9084]

I see this is from 2 years ago but I just found it!!! EXCELLENT instructions!!!

[@mrsjsellers]

Thank you! I had no idea how to load the markers into the cricut. Wasn't aware that you had to press down until you heard a click. :)

[@quilter1643]

Wow! Didn’t realize you could draw an entire card. Love it & your tutorial. Tk u for taking the tine to do thus.

[@carriea.1310]

WOW. Thank you so much!! That turned out so pretty. It also helped solve my problem - I was changing the "operation" to draw, but not changing the font style to "writing" and it makes ALL the difference!! Also, thank you for the foam adhesive dots idea! It looks great!

[@nicolestetson2846]

I'm still learning how to use my Cricut, so this was very helpful!

[@Jean-gc6pr]

I love using double-sided cardstock to make matching envelopes. When you open the envelope flap, you see the envelope is lined with either the same pattern you used on the card front, or a coordinating one. Beautiful project, as always. 🙂

[@Bethadilly]

Yes, the double sided envelopes are so pretty!

[@squigglove]

You really know how to teach and explain this software in a way that software-impared people such as myself feel like they can do this!!! I've watched other channels and I feel overwhelmed but this channel makes it seem SO simple!! Thank you for that.

[@sharonpendleton6549]

Bethany, you have taught me so much because you are an excellent teacher,I Always revert back to you for all of my crafting.You so beautiful work,wish I had an imagination like yours,you put things together so much.Please don’t change😊

[@brendacooper7944]

Amazing how it tells you what color to insert. This card is so special. I make cards from using stamps. But ordered a cricut joy that is on its way. Wish now that I had paid extra $50 and got the bigger machine since it does so much more. Sometimes if I want to add dimensions on larger surface like card front, I cut 2 or 3 additional layers of cardstock & attach together. Makes cards stand up in mail better. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@gloriaaa15]

So helpful! There’s hardly any tutorials on how to use the pens. I love this

[@robinlanders8551]

Thank you for sharing. I just got a cricut and love learning all the things that I can do!

[@ShelleyCarpenterYoga]

I really like your clear, concise teaching style. Thank you!

[@CrayCrayRae]

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

I actually found a bunch of Cricut pens at a thrift store, some unopened! You inspire me to give them a whirl! Thanks for sharing! 😊❤️

[@krisskrossbeauty6284]

i Love how easy and fast this is, saves so much money on doing you own cards and it makes them a little more special bc you took the time to personalize it the way you like! I just received my Cricut joy it was gift from my husband for our anniversary and i cant wait to start making different things. Your videos are so informative and a pleasure to watch!!

[@Bethadilly]

I’m so happy for you and your new Cricut Joy! Thanks so much for watching my videos and I love hearing that you are learning from them!

[@deborahhope9094]

Thank you Bethany. I wondered how to use more than one colour so I am excited to give this a try.

[@TheDizzy1964]

I am going to try and use my cricut pens I will use your video as reference. Thank you

[@joannallisons1634]

[@donnamatthew7419]

Thank you Bethany, I had no idea what to do with all the Cricut pens I have gotten, I am going to try to make a card now 😀

[@loismaddux4800]

Thank you! Other videos do not walk you through each step of the process. Your video is perfect!! Thank you again!! ❤️❤️

[@mycozygardencottage]

Thank you for covering each step so carefully!! You answered a question I've had and couldn't find the answer to.... how to make the cricut draw instead of cut. Great video and beautiful card!!

[@elizabethvallely4044]

The card turn out very pretty! Thank you for sharing…

[@rhalbert79]

I wasn’t sure I was going to use the draw feature, but this makes me want to expand beyond the pen that came with it. This is a beautiful card!! 😍

[@Bethadilly]

Totally! To be honest, I felt the same way initially about the pens. Then I tried and saw how easy they were and I love using them now!

[@sandradarier3060]

Excellent tutorial. I will definitely be doing something similar. Thank you.

[@helenlawson8811]

LOVE this. Off to order some pens!

[@cherieszollosi2728]

Just trying to learn all the things to do, thank you for this demonstration you are a great teacher.

[@cherylsperrey3445]

Such a pretty card!

[@lizahernandez950]

That card came out so good! I took advantage of the card stock that was recently on sale too. Love all the different colors you were able to use.

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you, Liza! So glad you got some of the cardstock and took advantage of that sale!

[@alexandragarciabaudrit5835]

I wanna do all the crafts you show us in your tutorials, but here in Costa Rica we don't have a Michaels or Hobby Lobby, so we have to import stuff and sometimes its quite expensive, so I have to go slow.... Thank you for inspiring me to do stuff...will continue to watch all that you teach us!!

[@Bethadilly]

So glad you’re being inspired!! Just keep a list of crafts to do and have fun!

[@helenduquette7386]

So beautiful....can't wait to make this card design.

Sooooo gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing this, I have a pack of Cricut pens that remain unopened because I wasn’t quite sure what to do with them. Now I’m inspired. Thank you!❤️

[@alexrimmer5418]

Really helpful video thankyou, and couldn't help but notice your ring is gorgeous 😅🤩

[@meredithdyson6701]

This is really cute and one of the best videos I've seen on how to use the Cricut pens. You explained it very well. TFS

[@wildflower868]

Great, precise tutorial, and a lovely project.

[@debbiewalker5278]

Very helpful

[@kirsty0569]

Thank you, the simplest i've seen so far :-)

[@lori-jocarroll]

Super great project!! Thanks for sharing, I’m a card maker. But I haven’t made full use of the pens outside of writing my sentiments. You always spark ideas.

[@Bethadilly]

I haven’t used the pens much either! This design just caught my eye and I simply had to see how it would turn out!!

[@davidcoppini1325]

Perfect! I've been wondering how to do exactly what you have done! You're instruction is concise, you do a great job of explaining all the steps. This newbie just found your tutorials and am looking forward to learning more through you. Thank you very much!

[@mariabonokollie7698]

I love the drawing feature with the Cricut! I love your design

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you! And this is a premade design so it’s so easy to just size for your project and draw!

[@kelseyroberts1064]

Hey Mrs Bethany. I know this video was made 3 years ago but I am trying to learn more and more about Cricut. What kind of paper was that Cricut paper you used? Was it hard like card stock or was it different?

[@sylviamaclellan5708]

Wow! Very beautiful card! And thank you for zooming in! What a nice view, we can see really well what you are doing! 👏🏻🌸

[@sylviamaclellan5708]

Also, I ordered the markers, does a really nice job. Thanks

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you so much! I’m so happy you liked this final card!

[@Pakistanidiaries]

Just bought the month one even tho I wanted this pink one but it’s been out of stock for ages 😭😭😭 so had to settle love the whole aesthetic of your layout! Xx

[@antoinettemarkarian5264]

Beautiful 😍 I love it. Wonderful job

[@trollbeadsjewelry]

Thank you. This was awesome

[@danathompson7273]

I really love how you drew with multi colors when making a card. Is there any other images that you can use if you want to make other cards that are all ready colored? I tried to search out other images, but can not seem to find others that are all ready colored. I am not even sure if you can take an image that is black and white and make it colored. I tried, but it seems way to hard. Thank you in advance

[@lindablasingame2438]

Love it!!❤❤❤

[@sunnstarzsm]

Absolutely AMAZING tutorial! Very informative! May I ask where you got your floral mat and the materials to make your floral stickers on your Cricut, as well? I LOVE your color schemes! Thank you very much! Stacie in the Youngstown, Ohio area

[@kairaines]

Tyt It was it a uuuj can dupe u

[@LisaVornhagen]

That is a great tutorial! Can this also be done on the Cricut Joy?

[@vargas1977r]

Thank you, I’m a Cricut newbie and this is so helpful.

[@robins262]

Super demo thanks. What is the image you used called in cricut?

[@flocondeneige3856]

Gorgeous!!! And how to do if you want to colour a full shape, not only the contours???🤓

[@JadeLaurennnn]

Love this idea! Also, love the floral design on your cricut machine. Do you have a tutorial video on that?

[@Bethadilly]

Yes!

[@stacymaynard6014]

This is a great detailed video! I’m wondering would it work the same way with vinyl?

[@jesychavez9760]

So beautiful

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you so much!

[@ChinkyRiceCake]

i love this! gave me an idea to make my boyfriend an anniversary card!

[@Bethadilly]

Wonderful idea!

[@marygrace9420]

Great video

[@mckeon1960]

May iask what about an envelope for card? Its lovely

[@odettepross2435]

omg….up till now..i had no idea that the pens had colour names on them 😂😂😂😂😂 ..thank you

[@marilyntipton3153]

I'm most excited! I purchased my pens last week and was sooo wanting to do a card.. I stumbled across this video and I had sooo much fun making it as I already had the cardstock as well! I use to buy the pattern paper now I will pick up more as I'm venturing out to new projects!

[@Taitcreates639]

Very, very pretty, Love the Cricut pens. Tfs

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you Bonnie! I’m loving the pens more and more each time I use them!

[@maxinemorton3353]

Bethany, what do you do for envelopes? Make your own or buy ready made ones?

[@jeanwilliams1054]

Oh , what a nice surprise to see a new video! WOW , such amazing projects! How you always come up with these amazing ideas! Your talent and creativity is off the chart! Thank you for you! Hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving! Also, Thank You for your hard work!

[@Barbara13202]

Hi Bethany, I enjoy your channel very much! I came across this video and am just starting to dabble in cards with my Joy. I have a question and if you have a tutorial on this, please let me know. Can someone add color to a floral circle that is black and white on Cricut. I subscribe to Design Bundles and have uploaded a few files from them, but I can't seem to figure out how to add different colors to the flower petals and the green leaves so I can draw it. Maybe I'm trying to do an impossible! LOL thank you for your content!

[@yoliebean]

A very beautiful card! Thank you for sharing. Makes me want to break out my Maker and be creative!

[@handmadebyjacqui]

Thank you - another great tutorial, I have the pen set waiting to be used 😊 x

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you! So excited for you to use your pens!

[@alexandragarciabaudrit5835]

OMG this is sooo pretty!! so how does the Cricut tell you which color to put in? I wanna do this!!!

[@Bethadilly]

The software, Cricut Design Space, will tell you which color to load and when!

[@KatrinaSherokee]

Love this video! That card was super pretty!

[@fratima62]

I have watched this video over and over again. Received a cricut explore 3 for my birthday earlier this month, plus some pens. I want to use the pens, understanding that they do line art, outlining etc, but I want to put what I make onto a wood piece. My question is, what do I printing onto? Paper, vinyl etc? I’m not sure paper on wood would look okay so have been searching for ideas and cannot find what fits my idea. Please help! 😊

[@MarlaCalandra]

I love your tutorials! You explain everything so well! Thank you! New subscriber!

[@Bethadilly]

Thanks so much and welcome!

[@astidog]

really handy onhow to use the pens. However, how do you rate using the pens in a cricut versus just hitting print and printing it on a printer then cutting it out to add to the card? I am finding it hard to actually find a use for the pens that came with my machine!

[@meganaccordino9001]

I personally like them to draw on things like leather, chipboard, or materials you can't run through a regular printer.

[@kristenlange5652]

😲 I didn't even know that measuring arm was there! How did I not know that?! 🙄

[@darlenekrisak2962]

I'm inspired - thank you!

[@Bethadilly]

I’m so glad, Darlene! You’re so welcome!

[@marydgoe8063]

Hi what colors did you used on this beautiful card_

[@lydiaalbright122]

I’m choosing a light N dark green what color pins could I use with that floral circle pattern that you pick

[@elizabethvalentine3820]

I am new...How did you get all these beautiful images? I just paid extra with cricut for use of their images and when I follow your steps I was shown hardly any floral circles and my images look different. I have little icons on each image that tell me they are "cut", "draw", etc.

[@jacquelinesisson5088]

Very Pretty. Any ideas why my text still says 'pen' and not drawing?

[@susanjohns8902]

I love making cards and I have been very much into using the draw feature with my pens. Your card was beautiful, I always forget about using the foam pads for increased interest.

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you, Susan! I thought this was a fun one to use the pens on! It’s been catching my eye in Design Space for awhile now!

[@kathleenmacqueen6217]

Love the tutorial. However when I select an image to draw in design space, done of them have multiple colors. What am I missing? Dying to try this!

[@mckeon1960]

Lovely card hope food you do envelopes

[@tjones8774]

Bethany, Love your tutorial !I have a pre lined certificate that I would love to use the CRICUT Calligraphy pens to fill out. New to Cricut and can't seem to find out if its possible to do that? Can you tell me? Thanks, T

[@gidaniels8386]

Hi Bethadilly, this card is so pretty. I tried to find the floral circle in Cricut Design Space and couldn't. I know this is an older video but is there a way to find it? I have searched and searched and I am unable. Please help if you can.
