Cricut Explore & Venture: What Do You Need (And What Can You Skip) - Cricut Kickoff Day #2

[@lyndaz5930]

As an "Old dog -80 years old" you have showed me I can learn new tricks! You have helped me start to learn how to use my new Cricut Explore Air 2! Although my head is so full of information right now, I know that I will continue to learn from you as you are so very good at explaining everything and showing how to use it, especially love the big Red hand that helps me follow where you are using a feature on Design space. I have an old Cricut Expression I used for years but nothing like this one. So Bless your heart for being such a good teacher! I am looking forward to watching and learning all I can from you

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so sweet! Thank you! Never stop learning new things! Much love ❤️

[@sarahbabin1332]

so helpful and cute!!! My sis and I love you. thank you queen!!

[@JenniferMaker]

I appreciate the love! 💕

[@christinesmutek3856]

Thank you Jennifer. My husband gave me an Explore 3 for Christmas and I felt a bit anxious about getting started. You have so much experience. I’ve watched one and this one of your tutorials and will get on to part 3 tomorrow. Feeing much less anxious now after watching. ☺️

[@gwendolyncarter6152]

I am so excited to learn all you have to teach us. It’s always a pleasure to watch your videos and I learn so much.

I really wish that Cricut would hurry up and make a lot of different colors for the large/ chunky markers that came out with the Venture. I also hope that Cricut will sooner rather than later release the card mats as well for the Cricut Venture and it would be great if they have multiple mats for multiple sized cards because I'm not into giving A2 sized cards, I like all size cards especially huge sizes. The possibilities are endless! I just love different things!😊💝

[@juliegpickwick6598]

Thank you. What a fantastic tatorial.

[@JenniferMaker]

You're very welcome!

[@BoGilmore]

I don't have a Explore or Venture, but it is cool to see all the things that go with when I get one. Thanks for taking the time so show us everything.

Thank you for all the information. I bought the bonded fabric point blade and now will be returning it. I'm also a quilter and look forward to cutting fabric. My daughter also bought me the deep point blades and fine point blades that are gray. looks like I'll be returning those also lol. I look forward to learning everything I can from you.

[@bernicemaxwell4323]

[@leesahunter2489]

Missed being here dor the lives but had to watch the replay. Would really like to get an Explore, I didn't think any of them still took the cartridges and have a bunch.

I love these videos Jennifer!! You are amazing.

[@barbcunnius3904]

Very educational ❤️

[@jessicakoerner7168]

Jennifer, what version are you using?

[@kaylamcleod4983]

Ready to watch maker 3. Im thinking maybe sell other machines and get it.

[@SistaBennett-d4v]

Thank you for this information. Can you explain the difference between the cricuit Maker and the cricuit Explore?

[@JenniferMaker]

Here is a comparison. jennifermaker.com/which-cricut-should-i-buy/

[@karenpassmore7743]

Does the fine tip pens work on fabric.?

[@pammooney5740]

when I tried to take out the housing for the pen a light came on. What do I do?

[@terriott8419]

Thank you for these lessons! They are really helping me I need to go get some card stock for lesson 3 then I will be moving on to it. Question, can you use thr transfer tape more than once or is it one and done?

[@JenniferMaker]

I use my transfer tape over and over till it no longer works! 😃

[@joycehowell5359]

Is all the cards to me you use in your supply list somewhere ?

[@jennifercarroll1945]

I have a question…how many cricut machine can you use on one computer or tablet???

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Can we use smart materials with the Air2?

[@JenniferMaker]

Only if you put it on a mat.

[@conniecardona]

Will my machine tell me what mat, pen, or blade to use

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, your machine will guide you on what blade to use. When you are using a machine that has the ability to use different blades, it will inform you which blade to use for your specific task. However, the context does not mention if the machine will tell you which mat or pen to use. For mats and pens, you might need to refer to the guidelines provided for different materials and tasks.

[@juliegpickwick6598]

Do you have to reverse your image. If using infusable pens

[@JenniferMaker]

You do if you are writing as it will be backwards if you do not mirror it.

[@rosecowan1556]

Cricut Explore air should work?

[@rosecowan1556]

Thank you so much for all the information in your video! You are a great teacher!! 🎉

[@michelleobernier2815]

my air 2 is bad cutting vinyl never cuts all the way. Tried everything from different brands new blade custom settings more pressure. Could I use a deep blade to try to cut it

[@JenniferMaker]

It is not supposed to cut through the carrier sheet. Only the vinyl.

[@BeckyLopez-tm7zf]

Is there another session for the Maker3?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes. Today at 6 pm. You can watch the replay and tomorrow as well.

[@judyvinson779]

I just got the explore 3 i haven't touched it yet I'm afraid ill break it.

[@JenniferMaker]

[@sheiladukes4281]

My fine point blade is butchering my cardstock

[@sheiladukes4281]

I tried cleaning the blade.. multiple times.. my mars are not lasting long at all

[@JenniferMaker]

I would suggest to only use Cricut brand blades. My Explore has had the same fine point blade for over 4 years now. We have a blog post that might help you troubleshoot here: jennifermaker.com/cricut-cutting-problems-tips-cleaner-cuts/

[@Penguinluvr7278]
