[@RachieKins-fd4db]

Great video! No fluff or filler, just the instructions. Love it

[@Zhannastar]

thank you (((: I appreciate the feedback

[@lindalowery8541]

Can the stick be painted with acrylic paint?

[@Eithetraveler]

Is it possible to do it on cricut joy?

[@tonipatak5564]

Thank you! Great instructions!😊

[@sirrahinct471]

Awesome video! May I ask if you remember what font you used for bride to be? TUIA.

[@Zhannastar]

I think it was heartbeat, but you have to buy it in order to use the little glyphs- the little curls attached to the letters

[@sirrahinct471]

@@Zhannastar thank you I have checked out creativefabrica.com to see if they have it and it looks like they do I have a monthly subscription for a small fee (19.00), can download anything for free with commercial license . Thank you again .

Hey there! I am just recently baking as a hobby. What kind of Cricut Machine should I buy for cake toppers? Thank you for the tutorial 🥰

[@Zhannastar]

a regular cricut explore air will work. but if you're in the budget of buying a better one or want to eventually cut more than that, I suggest the cricut maker. now theres 2 cricut makers - the newest one #3 it also works with smart materials, that one is the best of course. I currently have the cricut maker the 2nd version. prior to that I had cricut explore air the first one for about 5 years and I made a lot of $$ using it for custom cake toppers, banners, shot glass decals, custom t-shirts etc etc

[@MF12318]

Thanks! Do you think I could use my cricut cake machine? I bought it to use with fondant but it never worked. I would love to make cake toppers for my cakes.

[@michellemunoz71023]

Love all your videos! They are short and to the point. 👍😊

[@lizethpaz]

Which font did you use for the dirty thirty topper?

[@mireyamireya7217]

I have cricut access when I watch tutorials and I try looking for the font being used in the videos I can never find them is there a reason for this issue?

[@Zhannastar]

I don't use cricut fonts. I download a bunch for free using fontbundles.net or dafont.com (my fave) or 1001fonts.com - theres just so many. (: or I purchase them on etsy. I like the handwritten calligraphy/script types. this one that I used, I did purchase it off font bundles - it was on sale for like $3 and its called heartbeat

[@alexard7629]

What type of film is in 2:51? Is it a teckwrap

[@Zhannastar]

its just mirrored cardstock paper

[@chastykate]

Hi there you video is absolutely amazing and beautiful. Thank you for sharing. I just wanna asked were did you get your font for you cricut?

[@Zhannastar]

I use websites like dafont.com for free fonts or 1001fonts.com

[@chastykate]

Zhannastar thank you so much appreciate it.

[@yvettedaniels2145]

Nice job

[@ouR_soundsASMR]

Thank you for sharing! So beautiful 😍 What brand/ thickness of cardstock is this? I’m looking for something sturdy and won’t easily bend.

[@Zhannastar]

I got it at joann fabric store. they have some pretty thick ones. but sometimes what I would do is glue a regular white cardstock paper to the back of the pretty cardstock (cause a lot of them are still too thin for my liking for a cake topper.) and lay books on top and let it dry, than use that and my cricut cuts it and its fine but than it looks more thick and just better over all

[@hamidehorra4849]

Did you also make the cakes? Love the toppers!

[@Zhannastar]

yes I have a tutorial for that (: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYKVcnxjopisnq8

[@yadiraleon4058]

Love it!

[@Zhannastar]

thank you!

[@mermaidprincess44]

Hi what kind of card did you use ?

[@Zhannastar]

just a heavy cardstock so its sturdy

[@Zhannastar]

I got it at Joanns or michaels

[@mermaidprincess44]

[@norarosales8430]

Beautiful cake toppers, what’s the price for the cake toper?

[@Zhannastar]

Thank you! When I used to sell them, I sold them for $7. They can range from $5-$15 depending on the seller and what the customer wants (:

[@TheGirlyScratcher]

Beautiful, can you make these with the Cricut explore air 2?

[@Zhannastar]

Yes! there is a cut cardstock option on cricut explore air

[@axelthewolf5185]

Does anyone toppers come out a bit flimsy? How can it be avoided?

[@Zhannastar]

use stronger cardstock. sometimes I glue two pieces of cardstock together using foam brush and Elmers or mod podge glue. and than I lay heavy books on it and let it dry for hours and than cut. I only did that when I had custom colors cake topper orders. but thats too much work. so now I just use there amzn.to/2PfUz0q fallout

Which cricut machine is this one?

[@Zhannastar]

I am using a cricut maker here

[@leileist6294]

Hello where on the Cricut design space did you find the font Hello wedding

[@Zhannastar]

I had to download the font to my computer, than when I open Cricut in the fonts options I choose "system fonts" and than all my downloaded fonts are there.

[@Zhannastar]

if you go on dafont.com or www.1001fonts.com these websites you can download so many fonts for personal use. if you want to purchase the fonts use fontbundles.net

[@leciascott-thomas3247]

Thank you so much a have great design day

Did you make the faux cake?

[@Zhannastar]

yes, I have a tutorial here kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYKVcnxjopisnq8

What material is that?

[@Zhannastar]

its just cardstock paper

[@toobatariq7294]

I have watched the video so many times but still couldn’t understand/figure out the slicing part. It’s very confusing.

[@wendywashama3167]

Hi great tutorial! What cricut do you have?

[@Zhannastar]

I have cricut explore the first one. I used that for this video.

[@izzyromero7439]

@@Zhannastar can u use explorer 2?

[@Zhannastar]

@@izzyromero7439 yes. I used one for 5 years before getting a cricut maker.

[@chocol8bunny504]

Something I'm not doing right cause it's not cutting through the paper😭

[@Zhannastar]

oh no! did you check your cut setting?

[@chocol8bunny504]

I did everything you did...I can see it on the sheet...but it's not cutting through...I changed the blade to deep cut...and nothing

[@Zhannastar]

@@chocol8bunny504 I meant like setting on your design, what is the cut setting on there? and what kind of paper are you using?

[@anishaphillip272]

I can't find the dont

[@Zhannastar]

what cant you find?

[@Zhannastar]

If you mean the font, its called "hello wedding" you would have to purchase the font, or see if websites like dafont.com or 1001fonts.com have it and you can download it for free for personal use. after you download it to your computer, open cricut design (after its been downloaded) and when you insert text, and than want to change the font of it, click "system fonts" and type "hello wedding" and your font should be there. hope this helped. sorry for late reply I was on a family vacation
