- There are many tools you can get for Cricut crafting, but you do NOT need all of them. In fact, I think there are just seven essential tools that all Cricut crafters should have for getting the best cuts and beautiful results! So let's go over each one, along with some hacks for what you can do if you don't have that tool yet or can't find yours for whatever reason! Stay tuned to the end, when I'll share the tool I think is the MOST useful.
WHERE TO GET THE TOOLS (contains my affiliate links):
* Brayer - amzn.to/3sVaHsv
* Scraper - amzn.to/3ypKao6
* Spatula - amzn.to/3ypKao6
* Weeding Tool (optional) - amzn.to/3uxUqKP
* Scoring Stylus (optional) - amzn.to/3MnuIA9
* Single Scoring Wheel (optional, works on Maker machines only) - amzn.to/3aZpBHX
The pattern for the paper snowman shown in this video is free -- it's design #456 in my free resource library at jennifermaker....

Jennifer, it is always exciting to conquer or overcome a fear. I am so glad that you overcame your fear of being in front of a camera. You are so talented and beautiful. Think of all we would have missed if you had let that fear Overtake you! So glad you are so generous and loving. Thank you! ~~kay~~
Yes! Thank you!
Awesome, Jennifer, I found that I was picking up scrapers of different sizes, too. I have the larger one as well.
You ALWAYS have great techniques!
Thank you!
I love the large scraper. Thank you!
Thanks for all you and your team do to help us.
Waited to get the brayer, but absolutely love it and wish I hadn't waited. It is a great tool!
Hi I am so excited to be able to watch you today, Watching for Winnie, TX
Jennifer and team, ya'll are amazing and I am so thankful and grateful that you share your talent with so many in so many different ways!
Those snowman’s are super adorable. I can’t wait to make them all. Thank you Jennifer ❤
Great tip making dash lines and aligning them! Snowmen are the cutest! ⛄️⛄️⛄️
Just finished a sublimation on a wood project for the first time. Used Polyacrylic on jumbo paperclips. Only a little paper stuck but I was able to get it off (after I took the photo).
Jennifer and all of her elves are just so amazing. ❤🫶🏼❤
Love, love, love!! Would make the Christmas and Valentine's!!
I tried to watch the live, while I was crafting. I missed so much so I'm back watching the replay. The upside I'm almost finished with all of the Christmas craft gifts. I should be able to finish tomorrow! BTW the snowman are adorable. Thank you for your inspirations, svg files, and tips.
I absolutely love these previews!
Thanks for all you do to assist with our craft adventures.
Cute snowman, love your designs
❤
You are so kind for showing us how to make such beautiful crafts. Thank you to you and The Amazing Maker Team!!
I received a text from you to reply in tele something? I'm not sure what that is? 😁
Your ideas always come with knowledge!
Great selection of tools! My favorites also! Love the snowmen 💗
Love the dash lines and how to align them!
Thank you Jennifer and thanks to your team for everything! Love all the things you have made your very talented! Merry Christmas to you and your family an team! God Bless! ❤❤❤
These are just a cute. I’d love to have a blue tamales for the winter snowman. ❤
Love the snow people
you guys are so cute! So glad I found you! It's fun to watch you because you get excited about what you are making and showing us! Thanks for doing you!~
I always learn something new from your videos. Thank you
Fantastic tips. Thanks so much.
Those snowmen are just too adorable for words!!
Happy New Year, Thank you and your team for all you do
Happy New year! 😃
Love the snowman. Your favorite is the only tool I do not have.
Appreciate when you laugh at yourself! You all are fabulous examples as humans.
I don’t have a brayer so I use a bakers roller (pastry rolling pin), it works great! 😂
Congratulations to Carol and Amanda!!
Thanks so much for the tip about using alcohol to clean my self-healing mat. I've used baby wipes in the past and they did all right, but now my mat looks almost new after cleaning it with alcohol!
The snowmen are so cute. All three would be great.
Loved the video! Could you please show how to change the blade in the Cricut cutting knife? You are so right--the cutting knife is the best on the market!
You can request that here. jennifermaker.com/projectrequests/
So excited to watch this video. Wasn't able to watch live.😥
Congratulations to the Winners!
Love love your tutorials.
Good ideas. and some very amazing tips.
I, too had a couple fears to conquer. I avoided the color red. I always wanted to learn to sew at age 70 so I took some classes. One of my first project was making an apron. And red is a great color for you!
~~kay~~
Love the wonderful craft idea, sometimes frustrated because in small town Canada we can't always get the great supplies or same deals
I like tge paper one even better than tge glass. TY
I am happy to see you! How are you feeling!
A nut pick will work well for the vinyl And paper too
jennifer...i got an; message from what appears to be you(???) asking me to contact her on Telegram. That didnt sound right to me. Did you contact me or is this that scammer your always telling us about?
Jennifer you are a natural in front of the camera🎉
Thank you
I have only used my spatula once to pick up tags from my mat after cut them out with my CRICUT.
I use it for lifting delicate card stock to prevent it from ripping.
Instead of duplicating the lines individually after you have two of the where you want them duplicate those making 4 then duplicate those making 8 and so on. You could start by doing it in groups of 3 or whatever. It saves a little bit of time.
hello from Louisiana....!
Oh yes. Share the apron pattern. ❤️
I always like anything christmas
Congratulations Ladies
How do you clean the glue off the scraper - I get a lot of glue from the 4 card mat
Hi Jennifer, does the shimmer vinyl needs a special blade. I have a hard time cutting and weeding it. I am just a beginner, so that might be the problem 🙂
Here is the cutting guide from Cricut. Doing a test cut first and choosing more pressure will help for a cleaner cut. help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009504773-Which-materials-can-I-cut-with-my-Cricut-Explore-and-Cricut-Maker-machine-#explore-air-2
Scoring stylus ALWAYS tears my cardstock. I don't know what else to try to fix that. I had to buy the wheel.
Jennifer, What would you recommend as a starting point (in tools) for a 72 year old crafter just starting out with Cricut type products?
we are on a very limited budget suddenly (thanks to a ponzi scheme), and our lifestyle has changed dramatically! I appreciate any suggestions you may offer. Thank you, ~~kay~~
Paper crafts! They are fun and less expensive.
How hard do you press
Hi Jennifer, you shared another inspired project this evening thank you so much. Quick question.... at around 19.57 my eye fell on a beautiful light up heart cottage, so I tracked it down and downloaded it and plan to make it once I unbox my maker 3. It uses perforated lines but I would like to use score lines instead. Is this possible? ie : is it changeable in Design Space? If so, how?.....
Sometimes I make 2 svg files. One for perforated and 1 with score lines. In Design Space score lines need to be changed from cut to score and attached so the perforated svg is a simpler choice.
somehow, only heaven knows how, but somehow i have missed the video on the snowman you showed while talking about the scoring tools.... can you tell me how to find it ???
Here you go. jennifermaker.com/light-up-snowman-dollar-tree/
thank you , so very kind
@@JenniferMaker
I want to make them all
how do you started in sublimination?
It is an undertaking. Here is a tutorial for printers. jennifermaker.com/best-sublimation-printer/
Oh, man is there a draw-in cut like the print and cut? I want to make things for my daughter but she wants to color items and then have them cut out.
You daughter may love Infusible Ink pens! jennifermaker.com/cricut-infusible-ink/
@@JenniferMaker I’m trying to have the pen draw the outlines and then have it cut it out. She loves to color but wants to color the 3d items without them all cut. Is that possible?
Hello...you look great....
I can't use the scoring tool everytime i put it in my machine and as soon as it starts to score it pops out, any suggestions?
Try to seat it so it clicks in, otherwise you may need to contact Cricut.
Did I win a prize or was I just scammed and do I have to pay shipping I’m ver confused and up sit with this situation
