An Overview Of Where To Find My Cricut Related Posts

Each Morning on  my Crafting Facebook  Page, I post a list of  Free SVGs, Free Fonts, Sales, Updates, and Tips for using Cricut.  Find that page here:

In addition to that page, there's a group where I share more free svgs in themed posts.  Everyone can post there, sharing their projects, their tutorials, and their experiences.  As a bonus, each week, thanks to a generous promotion from Dreaming Tree, I give away a gift card to the Dreaming Tree site.

THE BASICS FOR GETTING STARTED

=======================
BEGINNER PROJECTS
When getting started with cricut,  it's impossible to learn everything all at once.  What you need to know to make a card is completely different from what you need to know to make a t-shirt.  What you need to know to personalize a tumbler is completely different than what you need to know to make a sticker.  Rather than try to learn everything, choose a project, learn how to make it, then choose another project..  building your skills and knowledge slowly, based on what you want to  make.  Here are some projects to get you started:
 
 
 

 

Please note that the above project tutorials are quite old.  They will still walk you through the basics, but I AM working on updated versions.  And less seasonal versions.

    1. The easiest way rould be to write on white cardstock and glue it into the black card. Otherwise, you will need a pen that shows up on black - so silver, or white maybe? I haven't tried any alternate brands in silver or white, so I can't recommend one that fits the machine... cricut probably makes one? Then you will need a writing font - I do have lists of those here - https://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/11/6-single-line-fonts-that-will-write.html

    2. Metallic Markers from American Crafts fit in the Cricut PERFECTLY. I bought them at Tuesday's mornings.

  2. I am new to your blog and new to using a Cricut Air 2. I'm trying to find a font I can use with glyphs, as you call them. I understand there is a cheat sheet, which I think I have, but can't seem to be able to do what I want. Any suggestions?

  3. Hello Heather!
    I was looking for info on making some Cricut Earings but was SO surprised to find your info on San Antonio Air Force. My grandson is going to graduate in a week so finding your info was absolutely wonderful. I hope your son is doing well and you are all happy. We are so excited to see where this new step will take Justin and the family. Thank you so much for all your the help.

  4. Ooh, I wish I had read this post before buying my Cricut; I wouldn't have bought it. Right now it's a hate-hate relationship. Everything takes so long to do and isn't that great.

  7. New subscriber here, Love your blog!
    I am also new to my Cricut Air (I did have a Explore before) and I am so confused! Do I need to pay the monthly Cricut to be able to download items? Does the Design Space have items to try? I see you have many links for fonts and other items is that all need to get started?
    thanks for any direction you can give me.
