GETTING STARTED WITH CRICUT EXPLORE 3 | MAKING STICKERS & DIY HOME PROJECTS + STORAGE LABELS | AD

Hello and welcome back to my channel. I hope you had a lovely Christmas. I’m still enjoying a little bit of time offline but I wanted to share a video I filmed before Christmas that I have been so excited about….
I am so excited to be testing out the Cricut Explore 3. Over the last year or so I have really got into making my own illustrations and art work, I am a complete beginner but I love it. So I was so excited to put the Cricut Explore 3 to the test to make my own stickers and also do some DIY home projects...
Thank you so much to Cricut for sending one of their Explore 3 machines, I am thrilled to be working with them. One of my goals for 2022 is to enjoy being more creative and try and seek out time to do this.

The BEST demo I have seen by miles. At last someone who is actually interested in the machine and what it can do for them. Thanks Katie. Your artwork is wonderful, a very talented Lady. Would be good as you progress on your Cricut journey to see more videos. With all respect to our US channels would be nice to hear an English voice on screen too. The pup looks fully grown now bet you are glad that early stage is over! Best wishes for 2022.

[@katie_ellison]

Ah what a kind message Lavinia! I will definitely do more videos, I’m excited to see where it can take me with my art work. Happy new year to you! And yes Rolo is definitely easier now! Best wishes to you for 2022 too.

Thank You Katie for this wonderful video! Thinking about getting one of these machines,and watching videos. This is by far,the best! Your drawings are awesome! You are quite the artist! I create greeting cards,and my Daughter works with polymer clay,and resin. Thinking this machine would come in handy! Thanks for sharing! Blessings!

[@sophieloftus5247]

Wow your illustrations are incredible. You should sell them.

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thank you so much Sophie that’s so kind of you to say. I really enjoy doing them x

[@MyJewishMommyLife]

Great tutorial!! Very helpful to see it step by step and know how it really works, I’m tempted now!

[@katie_ellison]

It’s honestly brilliant you can do so much with the Cricut. 😍

[@sallyannryder]

Katie you are so talented you could illustrate children’s books xx

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thank you so much Sallyann ❤️

[@chantelleflynn9984]

Would love a video on pro create !!! I’m really considering getting an apple pen and borrowing the kids iPad and having a go

[@katie_ellison]

You definitely should Chantelle! It’s such a lovely new hobby of mine x

[@selenemason9383]

Brill video, the cricut is brilliant for stickers especially for planners. Heat transfer vinyl is also very good for the boxes that go inside kallax units. Would love to see more cricut videos in future

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Selene I am loving it so much. That’s such a good idea about stickers for planners. I might make my own and illustrate them and then. Use them for my new planner. Thanks for the idea x

[@flutterbygirlcraft]

Cute illustrations. Be great to see the designing process 😊

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Tracey I can definitely do a video on the design process. Xx

[@hmg191]

Thank you so much for a really thorough video - so many other influencer type vloggers have also done cricut videos but this is the first I have been able to follow and process easier. It really makes me want to have a look into circuit in the future so thank you so much for this x

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thank you so much for a lovely comment. I was so excited to get the cricut and I’m glad I made the video easy to follow! X

[@loolypooly5622]

Your art is amazing you are very talented!! x

[@katie_ellison]

Thank you so much x

[@tinatomassetti4507]

Thank you for the great video. I'm brand new and this answered some of my questions.

[@heidiharris5773]

You underestimate the quality of your art work Katie!! Your drawings are amazing and sweet and soft. Just beautiful!! 🥰

[@katie_ellison]

Thank you so much Heidi! That’s so kind of you to say. I don’t really know what I’m doing but I love it 🥰

[@Fatooaldawan]

Hi I want to ask you what the print you used for print thanks ❤❤

[@leannecapitano2360]

Thanks for this lovely tutorial :) I've just bought the Cricut 3 today (honestly, someone needs to ban me from Hobby Craft!! haha). I'm just wondering, what actual printer do you use? I keep seeing people printing their stickers to then be cut but there's no way my printer would print that well! off to Currys I go... thank you x

[@sexybetsy7]

I love your art Katie, please do more with it next year x

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thank you so much Emma! PS hope you are well xx

[@NitaHill-n2f]

Getting the same machine for Christmas and you were really helpful thank you so much

[@jessicA21984]

I got the cricut maker for christmas and now every blank t shirt the kids own has a heat transfer vinyl design on it. It's addictive

[@katie_ellison]

It’s so addictive isn’t it? I’m labelling every thing 🤣

[@janecox4173]

i dont usually watch product reviews by anyone but really enjoyed this one as did not feel false xx

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks so much Jane! That’s so kind of you to say. 🥰

[@khenderson3083]

Your art work is amazing , Katie!! Dont sell yourself short. Fab video xx

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thank you so much lovely 🥰

[@Emma-ku7nx]

Would love to see your illustrations or a video on procreate. I've had an iPad pro for Xmas but I'm totally out of my depth with procreate so would be lovely to see! Your illustrations are really good!

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Emma I could definitely do a procreate tips video, I’m very much a beginner but I could do the things that I found useful x

[@clairejohnston8125]

Fantastic video Katie, thank you. My issue is storage for all the art/craft supplies I already have 🙈🙈 One day I'm getting part of the shed as a craft room ❤

[@katie_ellison]

Have you ever watched any American craft videos? They always have these huge amazing craft rooms… literally the dream 🥰🥰🥰

[@EmmaChamp]

So pleased to see this video pop up from you, Katie! I got the same machine for Christmas and this is the best tutorial I’ve seen content creators do! Please do a tutorial for Pro Create too, I have that based on your previous recommendation! Thank you!

[@EmmaChamp]

Sorry, Katie, could I just ask: Did you just use a normal printer that the Cricut connects to to print the image of the sticker? Thank you!

[@katie_ellison]

Oh thank you so much Emma what a kind thing to say! I am loving the cricut so much so far, I made my own gift tags for Christmas and have made lots more stickers too. I love procreate I’m still a beginner at it but would be more than happy to share the things that have helped me so far. Enjoy your cricut x

[@ninagrothe5337]

Hey Katie thanks so much for, you make me love this I’ve got my machine and haven’t use properly. Today you help mad I thank you for that. Give us more

[@emmag6255]

Thank you so much for this Kate I have just had the explore to air 2 for Christmas and at the moment I am pretty overwhelmed with it so this video was a massive help. I would love to see a video on how you make the stickers in procreate please as this really interests me. Hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas 🎄xxx

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Emma I can definitely make a video on it, I love making videos like this and plan to make more creative videos in 2022. Making the stickers was a bit of trial and error but I am pleased with how they turned out. I can definitely do a step by step video on that too. We had a lovely low key Christmas, I hope you did too x

Great job ,very easy to follow, straight to point . Thank u

Ah thank you glad you enjoyed it.

Your illustrations are absolutely amazing!! Could definitely see those kind of illustrations in a children’s book. ❤️ x

[@katie_ellison]

Ah thanks so much Steph, that would be my dream to do something like that.

[@merideth827]

My exact thoughts as soon as I saw the first illustration of her daughter 🥰 you are very talented!

[@merideth827]

@@katie_ellison it would be so neat to see you make children’s books about your own children using them as models for the stories!

[@carmenvalenzuela40]

What kind of color printer do you use? Can it be any type of color printer for those stickers? I have an EPSONXP-830

[@cherielangschied8014]

Thanks Katie - I'd heard about Cricut and was wondering how it works, I'm very tempted to get one now! I'd love to see a similar vlog on Procreate because the two things complement each other. I know that you are talented when it comes to drawing but can a complete novice design something nice on Procreate e.g. are there templates at all or is it simply for you to design your own thing?

[@katie_ellison]

Thank you Cherie I have always wondered about Cricut too and I am loving the machine, especially for my art stuff. I am a beginner at procreate but would be happy to share the tips that I’ve learnt that have helped me the most. There aren’t templates as far as I’m aware but you’d definitely get the hang of it quickly, it’s essentially like having a piece of paper and lots of different pens to draw/paint whatever you want, only digitally. With the added bonus of being able to rub any mistakes out and start again. It’s a brilliant program. ❤️

[@cherielangschied8014]

@@katie_ellison Thanks, that's really interesting - and yes, there would definitely be a lot of rubbing out! x

[@AM-hz3jw]

Thank you so much. My machine is coming this week and I didn't have a clue! But this is so easy to follow.❤

[@Itsbubu888]

Ma'am what paper do we need to print for sticker

[@ninagrothe5337]

I subscribe for more

[@quanpip5296]

is the circuit design space app free on microsoft

[@bellabates4512]

Did cricut print your art work? And also cut the shape out?

[@bigbadwolf444]

I don't have time to be picking apart a design

Great video I love my Cricut. x

Thank you! What’s your favourite thing to make with yours? X

[@razanrumaizan8030]

Hello What printer you use to print you illustrations? They came out pretty good 👀🤍

[@RosietheGirls]

Absolutely loved this. I have a Cricut Maker & really enjoyed making lots of bits over Christmas like baubles, iPad labels etc xx

[@katie_ellison]

Thanks Rosie I am loving it so much. I have ordered some storage boxes for the new year to have a bit of a sort out and I can’t wait to sort the labels out 🥰

[@RosietheGirls]

@@katie_ellison ooh make sure you do a video for us 😘

[@Mary-et7ed]

Omg. Every single influencer is promoting cricut. I got to say its getting annoying. Really love Katie's videos tho.... ❤ . Sorry just had to put it out there.

[@katie_ellison]

Ah don’t worry! I understand, it can get annoying if you see lots of others doing it, I must admit I’ve only seen one other out of the people I watch. Thank you though for saying you like my videos. ❤️ I really enjoyed doing this one as I am loving making my own illustrations and using the cricut for them. I understand completely though. Xx

Great video Katie
