🐇 Easter-ish Crafts using my Cricut Joy Xtra! | Beginner Friendly

[@sac4939]

I just scored this vinyl on clearance...one pack. I actually opened it to see if the count was right lol. I like the idea of the color offset, ready to try this soon. Peeps are adorable, haven't seen them at my Target. Great projects TFS💕🐣🐇 Wanted to add I've used wallpaper gifs and sliced them with the "fat" letters and they are so customizable!

[@DalyCreations]

That's awesome!!!!! Once you try it, let me know how you like it!!!! Thanks for watching!

I’ve been so curious about the printable HTV but I’ve seen such mixed results! They came out so cute tho!

[@DalyCreations]

Thanks. Yeah I know Cricut has been having a lot of software issues so I kind of wondered if it had to do with the cut issue on my light iron on. Who knows. What other reviews have you heard?

[@a.grace_co]

@@DalyCreations oh I’m sure it was especially since the dark cut perfect! I’ve just heard it’s tricky to work with and the washing results aren’t the best but who knows! I’m a huge believer in YMMV 😊

[@DalyCreations]

​@@a.grace_cowhat's YMMV?

[@a.grace_co]

@@DalyCreations “your mileage may vary” meaning everyone’s experience is different. Just because something does or doesn’t work for me doesn’t mean it will or won’t work you

[@crafttechular]

One tip is that you can use the dark one on light materials as well but not..there are better brands online that sells printable vinyl online that come with so much more in their package

[@DalyCreations]

too expensive to do that :(

[@shirleydowney5650]

I liked all of your projects. I also like the siser easy colour for printable htv

[@DalyCreations]

Thank you! You know, I was looking at that, but found Cricut to be cheaper. I'm going to give the light iron one another go. I know Cricut has been having a lot of issues so I'm hoping it's just a software issue. And if it still doesn't work, I'm going to check out siser.

[@Cataalopes]

I never had issues with the printable iron on. I would've ran again through cricut to cut better instead of peeling it out or cut with the scissors before peeling. Hopefully next time it'll work mint! Oh! Another thing that I do is to save the image as a sticker as it creates a border and flattens everything up and only cuts the outside lines 😊

[@DalyCreations]

Had I known that, I most certainly would have done that. Next time I plan on doing that. Great advice! At least the dark iron on didn't have an issue. Thank you for the sticker idea!!!! I'll try that next time!

Did you hear me telling you that the gnome was off centre? You fixed it so you must have lol. Cute projects!

[@DalyCreations]

I surely did lol! It was funny. When I was editing my video, I was screaming at myself move it over Rachel! Hahaha thank you!

Can you show how you made the design, the off set and type of printer you used?

[@DalyCreations]

I'm not sure I'll have the time for that video any time soon (lots going on this month for me) but if I can, I will :). I didn't create the design. It was already made in canva. I just downloaded it, uploaded the designs to design space. On the Easter one, I just created an offset in design space, so that I wouldn't have to piece everything together. The printer I have is Epson 15000. You don't have to go that expensive. You can try Epson 2800. I heard that one works well too! But again if I get the chance, I'd be happy to make it!!! Thanks for watching! Feel free to reach out if you have questions!

[@CassieslilCraftCorner]

I have a question 😅 I JUST bought the light printable iron on - is it best to do an offset? And did you use your regular printer 🫠 I bought it to try but I’m weary in a sense that I’m afraid of the ink part. 😅😅😅

[@DalyCreations]

Hey! I only did an offset so I didn't have to piece the elements together. If the design is all attached to one another, than an offset is really not necessary. Even if the design has elements that are not attached, you don't have to do an offset. An offset really is just so you can have it cut out and pieced together. If that makes sense? Yes I did use a regular printer. it only works with ink jet printer (so if yours is a laser printer, it won't work correctly). Also, make sure your printer has a rear feeder. You don't want to put the paper in the front. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions!

[@beverlymackenzie6058]

I use printable for dark materials for everything, there's no real difference. To me it's just a gimmick to get you to spend more money LOL

[@DalyCreations]

But dark printable is more expensive then the light printable vinyl. So not sure of the gimmick. If it was cheaper I'd use it for everything to! Do you use a different brand other than Cricut that is cheaper you can recommend?
