I absolutely freaking love you! I have never in my lifetime come across such an amazing teacher! Not only that, you are literally the definition of a woman who is championing for PEOPLE and their success. THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO!!!
I totally agree with this beautiful comment. This wS one of the best tutorials I ever listened to. Your voice is lovely and you ate so easy to understand. The only thing I did not hear is which Cricket Machine you use. I want to but one and I thinking the Cricket Joy. Which model did you choose??
Thank you, thank you! I was thrilled to finally get my Cricut three years ago - I mean over-the-top excited. Well...that machine never left the box 😥 because I was so overwhelmed ... You have inspired me to get that thing set up and create!!
It's very helpful video. Some of the tips I was able to figure on my own after 3 weeks using cricut, some you mentioned I already saw and heard from others. But most of your tips are absolutely needed for beginners. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much Corrine! I am new to Cricut and I am actually a glass fuser and I like to make stencils and "silk" (mesh) screens to use on glass and have been struggling with the type of vinyl to use (thickness), font thickness, type of transfer tape, etc. It feels there is definitely a bit of a steep learning curve, but worth it when you finally complete ONE thing just right! This has been super helpful. Thank you!
Great video, I love the way you talk about all the options out there and not just cricut like some vlogger's. Speaking of hideous cricuts pay wall comes to mind, I have never seen a company that tries to nickel and dime you to death after you purchase their product like they do. I sure wish there was a mid range Silhouette machine.
Hi Corinne. I just purchased a Cricut Maker 3 for myself right before Christmas. I bought it to make creative things for family members and friends. Your video and information has inspired me to get going. I will certainly be checking out your other videos. Thanks for the great info! Happy Crafting to you too!
We’ll done! I love how you get right to the point. I’ve been using my Cricut for awhile and a lot of these things I did know through trial and error (and a lot of wasted money) You had some wonderful ideas that I had not thought of. Thank you!
Thank you for saying that you still mess up. I have been doing this for over 3 years now and I STILL mess up! It definitely would have helped in the beginning if someone told me I was always going to make a mistake sometimes.
Corinne, even tho I have my Cricut for 2 years, I watched your video just to see what your advice was. I 100% agree with you on everything. Wish you had done this before I started Cricutting.
It is amazing how many people don't research "before" they buy a Cricut cutting machine. I couldn't afford to spend that much money without knowing what the machine did and how to navigate the Design Space software. I learned the basics of Design Space "Before" I bought the machine in fall of 2014. I already knew what I wanted to do with the machine (use the Print then Cut feature) So I learned the basic features of DS, and then how to do Print then Cut images (no I couldn't actually cut anything without an actual machine, but I could upload images and create & save projects). Once I was confident in understanding Design Space, I bought the machine . I had it opened and out of box and set up, the day it arrived and have been happily creating since that day 7+ yrs ago. When ever I read posts saying - I just got a Cricut Machine bundle and I am clueless on what to do with it all 🙁 , I just wonder if those same folks buy cars without knowing how to drive one. Thank you for offering great video tutorials that are easy to understand and help others make good use of their new machines .
Keep in mind a lot of people receive them as gifts so they didn’t maybe know the machine was coming. And it can be really overwhelming to get something like this as well. That’s why I’m here! To make everything much less scary! :)
Thank you soooo much for this video! I bought my Cricut Explore Air 2 more than two years ago and Still I have anxiety about unsealing the box and getting started! (Health issues are part of that too) Now I think I can do it😄. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this helped me a lot. I got a circuit for Christmas and I totally froze lol I don’t know where to start but this was definitely very helpful. Love your videos.
FABULOUS video!! I'm not new to cricut but I have a group of friends who are and I have started in person "classes" to help them. All these tips are just awesome!
Why OH Why didn't I find your video before shopping!!! A newbie here, with big ideas, and have not even opened my Cricut Maker 3 machine yet! Caught up in the "sales" and "must haves" before I even know what I truly want to do. Now I will come to a screeching halt and actually try out my new machine. TFS! ❤️
Corinne, hi 👋. Thank You so much for this Video. It was so helpful. I am new to Cricut, so far the most I have done was over pay for my Vinyl and get the permanent vinyl when I bought my Cricut Maker. I have also cut a few holiday words. I appreciate you taking the time to create this informational video with the links and websites.
Thank you so much for doing this I purchased my cricut maker after I purchased my joy I love them both joy for small projects & cricut for lager projects but some of the things you said is a learning experience & yes I did hit that button sending smiles & crafty hugs from California
Makers going to learn, Mrs maker, and Mr crafty pants are my go to. I just found you with this video mine was in a box for 5 days but the reason was I didn't want my husband to find it and I had to figure out where it was going to go
Great tips I wish I knew when I first started. Even though I've been crafting for a few years I'm still learning new things. Also love the svg on your shirt! Did you create that or purchase?
Thank you! Newbie here! Mine is out of the box and that is where it ends for me. I am so ready to give it a try. Saved your video so I can keep coming back.
Video was Awesome!!! Thank you so much. I don’t Cricut for business but I do so much for myself and others as a gift. That’s my passion!! I also noticed how you responded to all your comments. So humble of you. I subscribed today.
I needed this video. I have had my maker for almost a year. I have had so many people ask me to teach them how to use the machine that they had purchased. I'll be looking to you for ideas to teach.
Thank you! Just purchased one and I have only done the test cut 😊 I have subscribed and looking forward to watching your videos. Also as others have said your positivity and honesty is very refreshing!
Corinne, A great job giving the Best advice, I really wish I'd found you earlier. I know this video will help so many newbies, Keep on Crafting :) Bless you girl :)
Thank you so much for this information. Your "matter of fact" manner led me to subscribe to your videos. Obviously, I'm checking through the different ones.
Enjoyed your video very much. New subscriber! It’s funny what you said about just getting the machine out of the box… three years ago I bought myself a cricket explore at Christmas time… And I ended up returning it unopened because I was so intimidated. This past Christmas I bought myself a cricket maker, and, again returned it but not out of fear….I watched some videos and realized that my old but unused cricket cartridges (I had a “legacy” machine..the cricut mini which used cartridges) would not work with the maker without an adapter which is currently out of stock. I returned it and was able to get a great deal on an explorer machine. Unfortunately, I had to go out of town just after I purchased it and will not be back for several days to come. But as soon as I get home I am opening that darn box! Thanks for the inspiration!💕
Great video! My husband has used his Cricut for years and keeps telling me I need one, too. It is already a struggle to fit in making my videos much less have to learn how to work a new machine. He got me the little Cricut Joy for Christmas...his way of easing me into it, plus its small size is a space saver. Your video was very informative and well-timed! TFS!!
@@TheArtfulAddict Ah, that makes more sense 🙂. I correctly guessed "Thanks for", but my brain was looking for a word that started with a "sss" sound 😜. TFS!
I'm waiting on my 3rd cricut maker 3. I keep getting defective machines. I'll get all the way to the end and then I get the red light of doom. Such a bummer.
You sound very knowledgeable and I like that. But would suggest that you show what it your talking about. Some of us are visual not just audio. Thank you
Funny you say that anput the blade.... my blade arrived upside-down??? After one attempt at a cut, it appeared blunt so I checked and turned it around to fix this problem. All good now.
Thank you so much for this great video! Santa brought me the Cricut Explore 2 for Christmas. Today I’m loading all my cartridges into design space and can’t wait to start crafting. I just found you today and subscribed
This is a WONDERFUL video for beginners! Very well done! I’ve been a Cricut user since the Expression was released (and the “baby bug”). In saying that, I will admit that I still have my original roll of transfer tape that came with my Expression. 😆
Thanks for the advice. But I wish you had of shown what you were talking about. I just opened my machine but afraid to do anything else. Saw the plugs and 2 mats and a few pieces of paper for the first project. Haven't even found if there's any tools with it.
You machine does not contain tools. I have hundreds of videos showing all sorts of things you can do with your cricut step by step. The machine will come with typically one mat some do get lucky and get twoZ if you have an explore series you get a pen a blade and a few materials that’s it if you got the maker you get the maker you get the blade a rotary blade and a mat. Anything else you need like weeding tools, squeegees and more you need to buy on your own. I have a comprehensive list in my website at corinneblackstone.com of all the accessories you will need to have to use your machine
You have a new subscriber here! Thanks soooo much for this video. This is a great beginner video. My daughter wants to get me a circuit and I had no idea which one I wanted. I'm thinking I may get a maker. Do you have any advise on the Maker vs the Maker 3? I'm excited to join this family. NewYou have a new subscriber here! Thanks soooo much for this video.

Honestly in my opinion the maker 3 is not an upgrade. The only difference is it cuts off mat but it only works with cricut smart vinyl to do so and it’s not a good vinyl. The maker 3 is actually quite a bit slower than the maker when it comes to cutting items on the mat as well. I would save the extra money get a maker and use the extra you saved to grab some of the tools like the quick swap housing, the engraving head, the scoring wheel and the knife blade.
Enjoyed your video. Thanks for the tips and links. Can't say that I'm in love with my Cricut but haven't thrown it to the curb which I have threatened several times. Have a project I'm going to work on today, so fingers crossed. #loveyourpositivity
I am trying to get extra blade and pen for my Solo machine. I contacted 143 Vinyl, they don't carry them. Contacted Solo company ( phone and email) no response yet. I misplaced the ones that came with the machine. SO I don't have the pen. Do the Cricut ones work in the Solo? any ideas on what to use if I cannot get the replacement?
Fabulous video! Thank you so much for these great tips, Corinne. You mentioned some FB groups where crafters can buy/sell crafts. Would you mind sharing some of those?
Great video but a little hard to catch some of what you're saying. I've listened 3 times (& it's not listed below) and still can't understand where you mention how to buy other people's overstock. Sounds like you're saying door dash?? Can you please let us know? Thanks, Lelah
great video. I just got a Solo and am wondering if I should of got a cricut. I had a cricut and sold it as I got frustrated with the small work space. What do you thinK?
I loved your video! I'm sure that took a lot of time & energy to film! I just got my machine yesterday and want to hit the road running but didn't know where to start! This video gave me a ton of tips to think about and answered questions I didn't know I had! I subscribed to you here on TH-cam and will be looking forward to your Facebook group and watching more videos! Thanks again!
Charlie, If ever you have questions you can private message me for help. I've been using the Cricut maker for 2 years now and have tried a lot of different crafts with it.I feel I know a lot about it and I love helping people craft.
@Charlie Beaupre ~ same about the questions 'I didn't know I had' I follow Corinne and watch her videos almost the instant they come out but she always has something new for me to learn 😉
@@bariwalsh5961 so I don't understand how it uses a pen? It can draw handwriting, or draw like a flower? But I have a black/white line art I'm trying to make it draw but it only does the outlines? How do I get it to draw the middle parts? I'm very good at Photoshop/illustrator if I need to make layers or something.

do you have a video of how you made the bling on the cover of your maker?
No video I just hand cut this sheet down to fit amzn.to/3zjL5qP
New subbie, thanks for the great video.
I loved your video! I'm sure that took a lot of time & energy to film! I just got my machine yesterday and want to hit the road running but didn't know where to start! This video gave me a ton of tips to think about and answered questions I didn't know I had! I subscribed to you here on TH-cam and will be looking forward to your Facebook group and watching more videos! Thanks again!
Charlie, If ever you have questions you can private message me for help. I've been using the Cricut maker for 2 years now and have tried a lot of different crafts with it.I feel I know a lot about it and I love helping people craft.
@Charlie Beaupre ~ same about the questions 'I didn't know I had' I follow Corinne and watch her videos almost the instant they come out but she always has something new for me to learn 😉
@@bariwalsh5961 so I don't understand how it uses a pen? It can draw handwriting, or draw like a flower? But I have a black/white line art I'm trying to make it draw but it only does the outlines? How do I get it to draw the middle parts? I'm very good at Photoshop/illustrator if I need to make layers or something.
