OMG I love Jennifer. I have watched the first two videos and have learned so so so much! What I like most of all is that Jennifer is REAL. She does not do what other people do on teaching videos. She does not do the fluff stuff and stupid commentary to get you to like her. She gets right to the issue at hand and is very informative in a timely manner. My time is limited and I am glad she tells it all like it is and gets right to it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!! Looking forward to a LONG relationship with Jennifer as an instructor and helper.

Thank you I work at Michael’s and just bought a maker I get asked questions all day and I’m clueless your videos are helping me learn my maker and answer customer questions 😄

[DMVFinalFourMom]

This beginner says THANK YOU! I’m a teacher and I’ve been paying others for my paper and vinyl needs. I’m going to take my time learning. Your videos are a blessing.

[musemer]

I want to thank you, because I stumbled upon your videos one day, and you inspired me to save for a Cricut, I just got it today, and I'm SO excited. Thank you!

[noemu]

I love how much details you share in your videos! As a newbie, i found them absolutely useful! I really appreciate how you show us what mistakes we can make and HOW to fix them!

[leocubiasmusiclifestyle]

Absolutely everything I needed to know about starting up, after this video I feel more confident to start my purchase. Thank Jenny 🤩

[annewatman]

You are absolutely amazing. So helpful and great advice. I have one goal for now, but maybe eventually I’ll find other things. And you are so right about supplies.

I started with colored pencils. I got into pastels briefly. I paint with acrylics and have all kinds of paint, brushes and canvas. Now I’m learning to paint with watercolor, and more supplies. I’ve stored some things, and sold some others. I’m constantly cleaning up to make room because I hate trying to work when there’s clutter. I love all of it, but I can feel overwhelmed at times!

Thank you, Jennifer I love how calm and natural you are on explaining everything I just got my new cricut maker for mothers day. I am very exited to try it.
I had my old expression for many many years but looking forward for lots projects with the maker.

[katherinecharloth]

Thank you so much for your patience to make these videos for beginners! I just work a cricut maker 1 week ago. And I was clueless, but thanks to you it’s more easy now

[melindamcculloch]

I found your channel recently and am really loving it! I am incredibly appreciative that you speak in a natural way instead of the strange affected sing song that feels impossible to get away from these days!

[kwatson]

Jennifer - you are the first person I seek answers from about my Cricut. Once again, I have learned new things from you and you are so easy to listen to and understand. AND you put together an amazing handbook. Thank you for taking the time to do this. It is so helpful - especially the tools page. I am going to keep this near my Cricut always.

[pattir]

An excellent video! My hubby surprised me with a Cricut Maker a few days ago and I've been trying to learn about it. Your videos are easy to understand and I love that you make it a point to start simply and not to buy everything in sight. I'm really looking forwards to more lessons!

[katsojka]

Thank you for always giving so much information! I was able to use my Maker right out of the box because I had watched your videos before buying it!

[amandahicks]

These videos are fantastic! I just got my first Cricut Maker today and I was so nervous and intimidated by it. You are wonderful at explaining everything so that everyone can understand and it is much appreciated! I subscribed before I even finished lesson 1! Thanks so much💜💜

[wluckie]

Your a gem, bless your heart! Thank you for this tutorial & clarification that definitely answered some of my questions.

[memessweett]

Thank you . I am waiting on my new Cricut Maker to be delivered. Cricut.com says it could be a couple of weeks before delivered so I have been watching your Cricut lessons and I am so appreciative. I feel more confident by watching your videos that I have more knowledge of the cricut. I may even watch a few of them more than once ❤️ Have a wonderful day

[denisegarza]

These videos are so helpful. I had my Cricut Maker since Christmas and was intimidated to open and use. When I saw the first video I felt comfortable in being able to set up my Cricut. Thank you Jennifer. 💕💕

[pattimiller]

Jennifer, you are freaking FABULOUS!!! I have been binge watching your videos for a couple of weeks, and have a total crafter's crush!! (Not in a creepy way) :-) You explain things so well, you are pleasant to listen to, and are friendly without being overly chatty. I also love the way you leave in the little "oops" moments!! It is so helpful to know what to do when I run into some of these same issues! You have another devoted fan! Keep up the good work.

[AprilYHWH]

Great advice and presentation, as always! I'm waiting for my machine to arrive and am trying to be patient and educate myself as much as possible prior to unboxing.

[kaigabriel]

Jennifer, Thank you for all the wonderful information on all the tools that can be used with the maker.
