I was just gifted a cricut Joy and I was dying to find out how to work it. This video showed me exactly what I wanted to see as a first-time user!

[@paigejoannaa]

I’m so glad you found it helpful x

[@GreekSophi21]

This is my first Cricut video I’ve watched! Thank you so much! I need more! TOTAL BEGINNER over here. 🤣😂

[@beauscott9193]

Saaaame I've been struggling and this video helped so much 💖😅

[@irishdawn8387]

@@beauscott9193 same here the other cricut was too big for me I only need it for small projects to cut my custom index cards

[@agbs_creations]

Same

[@nellygarcia3937]

Yes, please can you make more videos with this machine? Totally new to Cricut and most videos are “too advanced”

[@totally.not.arya_]

Same except this is my 14th vid

[@JosefinaSienna]

I’ve been eyeing the cricket joy for months. I’m 26 getting back into American Girl Dolls (healing childhood trauma and therapy). American Girl doll clothing are expensive! I plan on getting a sewing machine and cricket joy to make my own outfits on a budget. Thank you for the amazing tutorial!

[@kristinbenini7967]

I've had a fullsize Cricut for years and I'm still intimidated by it. I just got a Joy and I'm having a blast getting started. I'm hoping once I'm comfortable with it I will be able to use my bigger machine confidently. Thanks for a great tutorial!

[@TheSheena3384]

very cute!

[@paigejoannaa]

Thank you :)

[@marthag1657]

I got one for Christmas and am excited to make him a Thank you card❤️

This was the most perfect video to start using my cricut joy. Thank you very much for make in it!

[@DawnBarakett]

I was given a cricuit joy for Christmas and was frustrated trying to follow the instructions provided by cricuit. You did a much better job and now I am ready to move forward. I found out from your video that I need the card mat in order to accomplish what I want to do. Thank You!!!

[@nillybetty7599]

Can't believe I've never tried cricutting before. I'm kicking myself right now for all the years of walking past all the cricut machines and accessories in my craft store. Well not anymore 😂!

[@beverlyrentz3318]

I just ordered mine and can't wait to get it. Planning to label all of my containers in my pantry! This tutorial helped so much. Thank you!

[@ChillingDale]

Loved this video! I’ve been keen to get a Cricut machine for a couple of years now but they’ve been out of my budget. However I’ve found this one which includes a starter set (2024) on Amazon on the Black Friday sale & I’m going to treat myself to it! I really love personalised cards & cups etc. I’m forever buying from small businesses on Etsy etc so this will enable me to go that extra step forward in making my own for people. Brilliant video! So informative & shows just how easy it is. Thanks again! 😁💖✨

[@warrenehrman3894]

My first video also I would like to see more how to videos if possible, thanks so much for taking the time for us .

My moms a big craft person but she has a difficulty lately doing some things on her own because she can’t see or things are just alittle more complicated with computers for her. This is perfect for her and for myself! Im excited that I told her we’d make cards for the holidays this year because this looks so amazingly easy and simple for us to try it together! This video atleast gives me an idea of what I gotta do to help her with building up to her bigger machine

What a great video! I've never bought a Cricut before and for what I need, I think this would be the best choice for me, especially after watching this video! I do scrapbooking so basically what I would like is to be able to cut out different words in different fonts along with embellishments. I am thinking this would be perfect for my scrapbooking needs. The fact that you can make greeting cards in just a few minutes is awesome too! Thanks for sharing your talents with us beginners!
