When I was making the wedding signs on very large antique mirrors for my daughter's wedding, Smart gold and black glitter vinyl worked the best. We tried several different products but the Smart vinyl really gave us the most professional look. I am making mirrors for a friend's wedding this fall and that was her choice as well.

[@kathymurray1926]

I love my Smart materials!

[@arleneaugustahair8393]

I just join my long mats and do what I need to do. I’m not going to keep on buying vinyl if I already have it.

[@jamiehomeschool9922]

I agree, Smart materials cut so beautifully. I always try to find them on sale but I do buy them for certain things.

[@rori65]

Never thought of using wash tape for paper letters, great tip!!! Agree, on the smart products, I only buy them if they're on sale.

[@deborahb523]

I sure wished I knew that other night when I was cutting paper letters

[@kathymurray1926]

Stylus never works for me. It just doesn't make a mark at all, so I usually just do scoring by hand with a ruler.

[@leticiat24465]

For fonts you can also use adhesive vinyl on paper. Either permanent or removable.

[@lisachurch4967]

That sheet of sticker paper wasn't waisted. Cut it off at the bottom of the black box and use the rest of the sheet. My Maker is closed and covered when not in use. I'm not leaving the stylus in clamp A if I'm not using it. It doesn't take but a few seconds to swap tools when needed, not a big deal.

[@kathymurray1926]

I just use it back in my printer...no problems

[@katewelsh1285]

The htv tip is such a good one. I'm forever forgetting this

[@AlysiaCO]

I use regular vinyl instead of htv for small letters. No need to pull out a heat press when vinyl works the same. Washi or scotch tape works to transfer it to your project.

[@Phianett]

True, but I also feel like HTV weeds easier especially for those intricate cuts.

[@kimhahn140]

The Smart Vinyl, while a little more expensive, allows you to cut without having to use a mat. It’s pretty convenient.

[@arleneaugustahair8393]

Yeah but it is seriously a pain to weed.

[@mamatosh05]

Good tips! Especially cutting out using htv instead of paper.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you for watching!

[@robt9466]

Great advice, from beautiful Lauren. I just love listening to her words of wisdom.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thank you so much!

[@susanjohns8902]

I wish when using the scoring stylus, it would not make me change the tool setting each time I change mats. I would think that remembering the settings would also remember the tool.

[@susandean5553]

LOL I PRINT ON MY HALF USED STICKER PAPER

[@CourtneyWix-xh7kj]

I like the Smart Vinyl much better than the regular cricut vinyl. The Smart Vinyl is stiffer than regular vinyl. I also like it because it saves up on having to use my mat as much. The prices are about the same.

[@NancyKluz-tb7ij]

Love the washi tape on paper letters. Genius!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Thanks so much!

[@NosyRoseE]

Why use htv on paper when you can just use vinyl?

[@melindagilbert6989]

I personally don't like smart vinyl but I have purchased it at Walmart because it was on sale and significantly cheaper than purchasing the same amount of regular Cricut vinyl .... ( because of who I was selling it too and due to what they were using it for I wanted to keep the profit margin small)

[@lisarichard6152]

Washi tape tip is great! Thanks!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

[@lynseycrittenden5789]

Love these great tips!!! Thanks MGL💗

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Glad you love them!

[@conniet9288]

Funny I see this after I accident printed a page on printer paper 2x before realizing I had wrong paper in printer. Lol

[@ktma21blogger]

How are you getting your stickers to stay as a sheet? Ever since the updates I can't kiss cut to actually kiss cut anymore 😢

[@TheInongs]

Are you able to use the scoring pen on the cricut maker?

[@reneebanbury7066]

Great tips! Thanks! ❤❤

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You are welcome!

[@MsCurliegirlie]

The paper letter tricks 😍😍😍😍

[@jodyha6287]

Is there a way to cut in the same place with a Joy or Joy xtra? I don't have a play Button and on my Computer is only unload as an option.

[@NancyKluz-tb7ij]

What are the dimensions of print and cut for the 8 1/2 x 11 sticker paper? There should be a template like the have for shirts in design space.

[@robynsmith66]

Thank You

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

[@debpotter8315]

I like the idea of using htv vs paper for fonts. I will have to try that

[@leticiat24465]

You can also use regular adhesive vinyl. Either permanent or removable. I have used all three on paper.

[@rolo7110]

I don’t agree with using htv instead of paper. I mainly papercraft on my Cricut Explore. When I want to use an intricate font, I offset it and use a pen to write it. I don’t see the logic of using more expensive vinyl versus just using a pen

[@DUCKSJO]

thank you

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

[@jobeyendicott6370]

Where do you go on Maker to tell it to use scoring stylus? I'm a newbie.

[@mouseboots46]

In Design Space are where you set up which machine, materials, and more.

[@shaunebartoo]

I love to use the scoring stylus pic. I wish you could make it the default so you didn’t have to choose it every time and I only buy smart material when it’s on clearance or half price. The only reason I like it at all is it is faster on my maker 3.

[@videosrfunfunfun]

Good tips. Somewhere recently I read that I think it was Siser has a low tack transfer tape. Do you know anything about it or anyone who has one? What else could I use to transfer paper to paper? Or Vinyl to paper? Where can I find info on layering glitter cardstock? Thanks.

[@arleneaugustahair8393]

There is low tack, medium tack and high tack transfer tape.

[@videosrfunfunfun]

@@arleneaugustahair8393 Where can I find low tack transfer tape and what is it called? I have been looking and looking for it. Thanks!

[@preciouspeaces]
