I started with a Joy, Smart vinyl and paper, and by default often tiny letters. Turns out, it was great because I learned a lot, made a lot, and now any machine is a breeze. I took what I learned watching your videos and applied it to my work and voila...success!

Hahaha 😂 In the most sweet, understanding tone, "Guys, some of you have so much ambition, right out of the gate.."

I've definitely butchered a handful of sheets due to ambition. 😂
Love your videos! Your demeanor makes me seek out Cricut info on your channel before looking elsewhere. Keep up the hard work!

I think the smart joy has made my life very easy, especially when you new at this and you not quite sure with your measurements, it's been a week but ooh my goodness I am so happy.

I just got my first Cricut yesterday and used it for the first time today and I don’t know how I went without it this whole time. It’s amazing and I am the type of person who isn’t good with electronics and can’t even set up my iPhone but I worked the Cricut perfect on the first time. I’m amazed.

My favourite was 'aspire to, and level up to' best encouragement 🙂

I love glitter vinyl. Dollar tree glitter vinyl was the first stuff I started with and no problems with it. I know use it on all the time.

When you get your Cricut Maker3, your test cut is using SmartVinyl. I rather like it, to be honest. I got my Cricut on Tuesday and started immediately scrambling for supplies. On the opposite end of the thickness, I have also already made.a sign with dollar tree vinyl just to challenge myself (worked beautifully, but you have to take it slow and careful. Crafting isn't NASCAR, people), and I've done some CUTE totes and bags with infusible ink markers. I think I'm going to try the glitter tonight, just because I love a challenge. This is just too much fun!

This video cracked me up. I’m not a beginner but I get it. “Slow your roll” 😂

Although I’ve been a Cricut user since the Expression and Baby Bug days… I had 100’s of cartridges, 2 jukeboxes, the gypsy - everything. I had not had a newer machine since the 1st Air and I LOVED it! My husband got me a Maker 2 weeks ago, so I need to get to know it. 😊

I just bought a Cricut Maker and decided to look at some YouTube videos to learn a bit more. I subscribed to your channel because you are super cute and easy to watch because the way you explain things is clear yet entertaining so I don't get lost or bored. Looking forward to learning more from you! 🤩

[viviancovington]

I like that you present professionally with detail yet to the point.

I’m not a seasoned by any stretch of the imagination here but seeing as I got my cricut last March I don’t know that I am entirely a beginner either. Tried the small objects …. Don’t do it!! Bought a stock of the tools. Don’t do it. Tanner is so right here!!!! This should be one of the first videos for a newbie to watch. I wished I had seen it. It only would save you a few hundred dollars. So great advice here. Listen to

[CarmenWJones]

the paper suggestion is great! thanks!

[lindanelson]

I would like to know more about printing on my printer and cutting it out on the cricut.

[sassytbc]

I appreciate that you don’t want people to get discouraged first thing. Great idea!!!

[Cricuter]

I love your wall and all those cute accessories! I just redid my craft room in my new house and I am totally inspired!

[RicciOlson]

Hubby bought me a maker 3 for my birthday. I waiver between enthusiasm and rage learning to use it. I wish I would have seen this video before I took the maker out of the box. I have spent so much money buying all the things and wasted so much time and vinyl. Glitter vinyl is the worst!

[karenboyett]

I just got a Cricut today. Decided to try to learn more about it before I even download the app. Thanks for your video!!!!
I plan on watching more on your channel to get a head start and try to avoid some frustration. l

[traceysmith]

Just got my circuit yesterday and have not even taken it out of the box yet. Glad I watched this video FIRST!

[suhill]

Thank you for your honesty!! I'm looking to buy a cricut and this is so helpful
