[@kristagrebenc3265]

[@MommaLeighellensBookNook]

Loved this!! This was a fun way to get started with my new machine. Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sheilaevans4959]

Wow another great video. I love listening to your voice

[@joycespecht3038]

My Apple computer wouldn't set up, I pulled out my iPad and it hooked up really quick. That was yesterday, today I tried on the computer again and it worked. I don't know what I did different but watching your video gave me the incentive to try again.

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@Natalee740]

I'm extra joyful I got a Joy xtra for Christmas

Looking forward to this machine. Would work great for crafting with my daughter or granddaughter. She would absolutely love it. Couldn't afford a second machine for Christmas

[@laureemoore8107]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! I’m super excited to get crafting! 🤩

[@kathleenpittman1720]

Good morning Jennifer, thanks for your tutorials! I just purchased my Cricut Joy Xtra and signed up for your classes. Are you still offering the free handbook? It's charging me. Thank you for you help and all your tutorials!

[@JenniferMaker]

Cricut Kickoff has a free guide but the Cricut Coach Playbook is not for free. books.jennifermaker.com www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-c673d212

Thank you for this tutorial

[@jeanineshealingjourney8019]

New subscriber! The paper we got were smaller than A4! When i put it in to cut the demo design it the paper slided around and did not cut the design properly!

[@JenniferMaker]

Only smart materials can be used without a mat. Anything else needs to go on a mat.

[@lisaroller4576]

I would love a Cricut

[@Jeany829]

❤🎉i will Order soon the cricut Joy Xtra because i want to create Stickers With the procreate and Order an iPad soon🎉🎉

[@rodvaldez56]

Good afternoon Jennifer. Is the charging / power cable would work in 220v like what we have in Philippines.

[@joycesterling1612]

Here from SC

[@mikeschoonover3684]

Thank you!!

[@tomstibbie8221]

I haven’t purchased yet thinking of joy extra I am a beginner, want to use to put on cups, at Christmas sew stocking and put name on fabric etc.. is joy extra a good choice I might make cards and labels

[@JenniferMaker]

Wonderful!

[@katherineglim1121]

Can you use more than one machine at a time using design space?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes!

[@pamelabambula8113]

Aww, that’s so cute

[@Laura-ge1ns]

Yall, I need an apple air tag for that needle that comes with the Bearly art glue. Lost it at least 200 times

[@MaryanneButler-j3h]

How do you get the handbook?

[@IMBAE75]

One more question: How to cut again? Noticed that on all the other cricuts even the orginial joy, I can cut again without unloading. Don't need a material specific setting but just in case in just didn't cut on this one cut. Haven't once seen it pop back up to rerun on anything that I have cut on the Joy Xtra, including smart materials

[@marshea83]

I would like to know this as well. Perhaps there will be an update to make this possible.

[@pamelabambula8113]

My old computer need Bluetooth. Have to look into getting something.

[@laurieclark859]

I always wondered this, and it's been quite a while since getting a new machine. If I have access already, should I do the free trial, and then will get an extra month of access free?

[@JenniferMaker]

That will depend on if you've redeemed the free trial yet on that account. You can always create a new one with another email. 😊🌻

[@tvdavis]

The entry for the contest wouldn't work until I checked the box to agree to receive more emails.

[@jshaw609]

Merry Christmas. I'm interested in the cricut joy extra. Would it be able to cut intricate layered mandalas out of cardstock?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes!

[@tamarasworlds8078]

What is the difference between all of the machines?

[@pamelabambula8113]

I wish I had a new Cricut, but I didn’t… yet.

[@sherrieray]

Can you leave your Cricut joy xtra plug in all the time

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes you can ❤️

[@sherrieray]

@@JenniferMaker oh perfect thank you! I was but then I heard someone else say you shouldn’t but I thought why? So I thought I’d ask the expert 😀

[@patcarls1749]

I’m brand new to circuit joy xtra, can I set this up on my iPad and an android phone? I set it up first on my iPad and while I was watching your tutorial I wanted to set it up on my phone. So I tried to sign in and it ask if I forgot my password. I had put everything in correctly. So what did I do wrong?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes you can, it sounds like you may have just typed in the wrong password. ❤️

[@tinareeves9676]

Is there a stencil material for the joy xtra?

[@JenniferMaker]

you could cut your material down to fit🥰

[@Jenniferjpennie]

I don’t have a inkjet printer I only have a laser jet printer. I have laser jet paper products will it still work? I can’t afford a Inkjet printer.

[@JenniferMaker]

You only need a printer for print then cut projects. They do make printable vinyl for laser printers. JOYEZA Premium Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper for Inkjet Printer - 25 Sheets Matte White Waterproof, Dries Quickly Vivid Colors, Holds Ink well- Tear Resistant - Inkjet & Laser Printer jennifermaker.com/how-to-use-printable-vinyl-with-cricut/

[@jkquiltsknits]

Are there mats available for the Xtra?

[@JenniferMaker]

yes there are🥰

[@annagardner5367]

Cannot connect to window 11 HP laptop, was able to connect to iPhone 13

[@JenniferMaker]

You can connect all your devices to an iPhone 13 if you have good wifi.

[@lynette3031]

So it doesn’t require a mat?

[@JenniferMaker]

Only smart materials can be used without a mt. Everything else will need to go on a mat.

[@Patti-q6h]

❤❤❤

[@brindashah2835]

How to get it in India….i want it very much badly ..but only joy is available…

[@JenniferMaker]

I am sorry. I do not know what is available in India. ❤️

[@sheilaevans4959]

Hi how is everyone doing today

[@suebelitski745]

what blades are used in this new joy xtra? can I use same as the maker?

[@JenniferMaker]

The Cricut Joy and Joy Extra use the same blades. 😊🌻

[@carmenconcepcionacosta8453]

It di not pront me to cut sample, how can I get there ?

[@JenniferMaker]

If you are already setup then you can just add a shape to your canvas to test cut🥰

[@sheilaevans4959]

Does the pens work for both machines?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes for both Joy machines.

[@mendozaa729]

Hi

[@sheilaevans4959]

Are we supposed to set this up even though we don't have our machine yet

[@1cariyoung]

I would venture to say that you can't set up a machine you don't have yet.

[@JenniferMaker]

You can set it up when you get your Cricut.

[@juliafrost4997]

I have a cricut joy xtra and it won’t connect via Bluetooth. Who do I contact?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can reach Cricut help help.cricut.com/hc/en-us Phone numbers help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020316674-Cricut-Contact-Information

[@juliafrost4997]

I just finished watching the joy xtra setting up vid. I tried to get the “cricut kick-off handbook” sent to me via my email and it hasn’t come through? What do I do?

[@nettycuzzio]

You take this on vacation? 😳

[@JenniferMaker]

You can. I have traveled with my Joy. This is brand new and I have not traveled with it yet.

[@annshorey6819]

Some how i missed the cricut joy video?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can rewatch it.

[@estherdesmit1441]

my cricut joy extra says it not connected???

[@JenniferMaker]

Ensure Cricut Joy machine is powered on and within 10-15 feet of your mobile device. Open Settings > Bluetooth. If Bluetooth is off, tap it to turn it on. Select your Cricut Joy machine's Bluetooth module name from the list to initiate pairing. help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360042978433-Cricut-Joy-Machines-Connection-Help#:~:text=during%20a%20cut.-,Ensure%20Cricut%20Joy%20machine%20is%20powered%20on%20and%20within%2010,the%20list%20to%20initiate%20pairing.

[@sheilaevans4959]

Yeah, as soon as I sent that I laughed at myself. I tried to delete it, but it would not delete lol

[@debbiesaddictions]

the extra is worth 20 more

[@annshorey6819]

The book wants you to pay 19.00 not free

[@annshorey6819]

I found it to download in an email

[@jeanettelodge124]

I have a iPad 10th generation will it work?

[@andywharam59]

@@jeanettelodge124 yes it should Jean, mines 2 years old and works perfectly with my Cricut machines 😊

[@janisarmstrong2337]

I downloaded the book from email

[@JenniferMaker]

The Crichton Kickoff book is free. The Crichton Coach Playbook is not.

[@susanbutt2246]

What's difference between the two Joys?

[@andywharam59]

The difference Susan is that the Cricket Joy has a cutting width of approximately 4.5 inches whereas the Cricut Joy Extra can cut up to A4 size card stock, so basically twice the size of the baby Joy, I think it’s faster to, hope this helps 😊

[@TaleenVezina]

Also the Xtra has the ability to do the Print and Cut feature.

[@susanbutt2246]

Thank you
