To cut the butterfly out of the square you can make the square the size you want, then duplicate it about 6-8 times layer them on top of one another, then put the butterfly in the middle. You don't have to adjust or reload the mat because it all cuts at the same time. Even on the vinyl setting for the butterfly the square will be cut out the same way because it cuts the same square multiple times.
@Stacy Capps I'm a newbie too, but as I understand, if you layer a few times, it will cut over and over in same place and it will end up cutting the vinyl and the back paper too... so it does the same trick as if you're setting it to cut as a cardboard without having to reload the mat Please anyone correct me in case I'm wrong
Hi! Love your video! Just a little tip for your Tip # 12. Instead of having to load the vinyl in twice and making sure it’s in the right spot. In design space, Make the rectangle and the butterfly same Color. Then duplicate only the rectangle 3 or 4 times and attach the rectangles together. Then place the butterfly on top and attach everything together again. When you go to make it. The Cricut will cut the rectangle over 3 or 4 times and the butterfly only once. Making it a deep cut and a kiss cut all in one!
You could spray pixie spray to the back of the stencil once you place the transfer tape on, it should stick enough to not move once placed on the item you are stenciling onto. :)
Rather than using plastic for something that isn’t solid shape, use contact paper. I know it won’t be reusable, but it’s a cheap and easy alternative and doesn’t involve using Mod Podge or a spray adhesive on the project n
I am blown away. Definitely want you to do another!!! I've had Cricuts since the first one "Personal"...continued to upgrade and just started using the Maker about a year ago. Your videos prove you never stop learning - out of part 1 and 2 (36 hacks) I only knew about 6 of them. Look forward to seeing more of your videos! Kudos for giving credit where credit is due.
Rolled flowers: Get "hair pins" which are just like bobby pins, except both ends are straight. The flowers won't wobble nearly as much when rolling them because a hair pin is closer to the actual cricut tool used for this task.
For the square around the butterfly, just duplicate it several times and the Cricut will go over the same cut several times and then you can leave it all the same color and don’t have to worry about lining it up
To make wrapping the paper flowers even faster, make a cardstock circle about 2 inches in diameter first. Stick the bobby pin through the center of the cardstock circle, then insert the bobby pin into the drill. Use the cardstock circle as a kind of backstop or guide to keep the paper flower strip even as it wraps around the bobby pin.
Thank you so much and thank you for responding! I just wanted you to know I love your page. Its so helpful. I just got my first cricut the beginning of December and your page has helped me so much with learning how to navigate it. I have friends who have had theirs for years and I'm teaching them things they didnt even know thanks to you 😆
Make a "weeding bin" using an empty Wet Ones brand wipe container and doggy poo bags. The lid of the container is factory made with cross hair cuts that are perfect for weeding. When the wipes are gone, pour out any remaining liquid, then wash with regular dish soap. The doggy poo bags fit inside like a super miniature trash bag and the lid snaps in place over it. When it gets full you remove the lid, tie the bag, toss it into the trash and put a new bag in.
I love using freezer paper for templates because the shiny back can be temporarily ironed to project.. I use it quite a bit to make templates for quilting applique patterns etc.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!! I am still learning my cricutS, yes more than one, long story. But I love making things and wished I had bought a cricut sooner. Like ten years ago!! Those hacks, esp #4, made my day!! And the pens, genius! I know they’re hacks from other ppl but the compilation here was convenient! Thanks again
Sizing squares: I use book rings are a great way to keep items like this together. They're not expensive, come in LOTS of sizes, the metal is smooth so it's less likely to rip through the cardstock, but also easy to open when you need/want to replace one of the squares.
I just bought my Cricut Maker and they hacks are a huge time saver for me. Plus, I am learning new hacks about my cricut I never knew. Thank you....and I would love more tutorials.
@5:30, I also bought the pen adapters on Amazon and while cheap and mostly effective.. some take a little work to figure out as the card doesn't always reflect accurately as to which adapter works for what pen. And to beat all... A rubber band or 2 would do the trick, really. It's just about getting a snug fit at the right height.
I made my cardstock sizers!! Such a handy tool to have! I made them all different colors, too. Thank you so much for this tip (and the TikTok user who originally posted it)!
Loved this second video as well! Favs...thought you might be able to combine 2, namely #8 and 9 I think. Love the idea of the squares to use for future reference, but what about making them from the file folders you used for the reusable stencils. Think this would make them more durable. Love all of the ideas though!
Hello I really enjoyed your tutorial. My daughter purchased me a Crichton Explore for Christmas. It’s finally out of the box. Don’t have a clue as if yet. But your tutorial was a blast. I will get busy now. Thanks.
These hacks are fantastic, I especially like the one where you cleaned up the star and rainbow, I’ve spent hours cleaning up designs, never again, thank you so much for sharing these, please do more of them, you’ve already made my life easier.
Depending on how thick your quilling tool is, you can just put that in the drill and roll your flowers that way instead of with the bobby pin. Lots of great tips! Thanks!
I love the hack for not cutting vinyl with scissors!! Gamechanger. I just started selling decals...and will save me so much time and make it.a nicer even cut!
That reuseable stencil idea? Last week I did EXACTLY that for a model project where I needed various geometric shapes to be randomly repeated again and again across the surface of the model, it works great! The thin plastic sticky mat covers worked perfectly for this, save them.
These hacks are wonderful! I did one for myself as a photographer. I measured my speedlights' flash head and cut from the 12x12 color gels to fit my speedlights; I now have them in all colors from the pack! I love Cricut although it took me about a month just to open the box, lol
Once again, another easy to understand video. I love that you always show better and best ways to do things. Thank you so much for sharing all of your tips and tricks.

Even on the vinyl setting for the butterfly the square will be cut out the same way because it cuts the same square multiple times.
That is such a GREAT idea!! Thank you!
That’s what I do also I duplicate it 3 times usually does the trick. I do this when I’m making stickers with a backing sheet a lot easier!

That painter's tape weeding tip is fire!! Thank you!

Good to know!!
I would love to see another one. They are definitely so useful for us newbies.
Weeding with painter’s tape! Wow. Cool.
You could spray pixie spray to the back of the stencil once you place the transfer tape on, it should stick enough to not move once placed on the item you are stenciling onto. :)
That's a GREAT idea!! Thanks! :)
I was going to recommend regular spray adhesive. wait 30 seconds after you spray it and it is about as tacky as a post it note.
Rather than using plastic for something that isn’t solid shape, use contact paper. I know it won’t be reusable, but it’s a cheap and easy alternative and doesn’t involve using Mod Podge or a spray adhesive on the project n
Or oracal 631 vinyl, it's removable adhesive

Love this hack on the hack, so clever! Thanks!
Videos are way more than helpful. They’re wonderful specially when you’re just a beginner.

I have a scrapbook I use to store my scraps and my regular sheets of vinyl. It already came with sleeves and it's a 12x12. Its perfect.
I love the scrapbook idea!! That's so perfect for 12x12 vinyl or cardstock!

Shy! What a great idea! Thanks!
For the stencil there is a product card makers use called Pixie Spray. It’s a light tack spray that will hold your stencil in place 😊
@Julie Elliott can you use Pixie with cardstock or is it too tacky? And where do you get it from? TIA!
More please! These are great so helpful!
For the scrap storage, 3 hole punch the zip envelopes and put in a binder.
