This was my very FIRST Maymay video that I ever watched. It was right after I got my Cricut and I was trying to learn about it. I was inspired from that point and started to follow your videos. What a blessing you've been over the last 3 years. Love what you do and Love You and your family & staff.
I know I'm late to the party with this post, more than 2 years later, but I have a Silhouette and am considering a new Cricut Maker, and already trust your opinion and love your instructional videos with card making, etc., so watched this video... I knew you would be great with your instructions, and you certainly didn't disappoint. It was SUPER helpful to watch this tutorial to get a general idea of the Cricut machines. Thanks, Maymay!
Oh my gosh! I LOVE your videos. I came on TH-cam to learn how to cut vinyl for a windshield sticker for my Jeep. You just gave me much more than I was expecting! I've never really known how to use Cricut Explorer. You're beyond awesome!
I am SOOO impressed that you figured out how to do this!! So clever and looks amazing!!! I finally caved and ordered my first Cricut ever- the Explore Air...should have it in a few days. Can't wait! Your videos are really helping me to see all that I will be able to do. Thank you so much for this!!
I am waiting the arrival of my Explore. I have not used vinyl yet. This tutorial was excellent, especially to see how you dealt with the little hang ups and everything worked out great! Love your project.
Your tutorials are wonderful! I just bought my first Cricut Explore Air and I have been able to do so many things thanks to your videos! Just letting you know that you are a great teacher!
Just watched this video! Thank you for taking the time to explain it well and not rushing through so I can actually follow and not have to say "wait...what??" I've watched others on how to do split monogram and could never remember how they done it. Thank you!!!!
I just got my Cricut and your videos are awesome Maymay! Thanks for taking the time to put these demos down. I'm a Georgia girl and I love anybody who is "fixin" to do anything :)
I made some tiles with vinyl for Christmas and YES the tile is a pain in the booty! I looked at several threads about it, I tried the alcohol, it didn't help, but after I sat the vinyl on the tile, I used the blow dryer to warm the vinyl and that worked much better! Love your videos and your details to teaching!
I could listen to you talk all day! You just have the sweetest voice 💜 I just started working with vinyl, got a cricut and I can’t wait to get more experienced with it.
I've had my cricut for about a month now, learning has been difficult for some reason. I have watched countless TH-cam videos on different cricut technique and I have to say you have been the easiest to follow. clear concise and thourough. thank you!
Just got my cricut explore one and did the "start here" design. Then, tried my own hand at creating my name to place on my machine. I picked each letter off and thought, "man, people have a lot of patience to do this ".....hahahaha. thank goodness for your video because I learned a LOT. Thank you!!!
Hi, I have done many tiles and found that if you wipe the tile off first with rubbing alcohol let that dry a few minuets then spray with a clear sealant let that dry for about 20 mins... you will be amazed how easy the vinyl will then stick to your tile...
Thank you so much for this video. After watching hours of video trying to learn how to actually do something with my Explore One, this one did everything and more in thirty minutes. I feel like I'm not so over my head any longer.
Maymay, I'm so happy to find your videos! I'm brand new to Cricut and was terrified yet intrigued. Your videos are so full of information and you're easy to listen to. LOL. Thanks so much for the vinyl tutorial! Headed to Lowes to look for tile!
You absolutely ROCK!!!! I want to get a cricut, but I am intimidated by all of these fabulous finished products! After watching only TWO of your videos, I'm getting Santa on the line!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!
SO glad I discovered your video Maymay. I'm a Cricut newbie and this has really helped not only with the vinyl, but also with some of the basics. Thank you! :-)
Loved this. So well explained. I've only had my Explore for a couple months...and the contour button and the slice have been a mystery to me! Not anymore! Thanks! So well done! Hope you do more!!
I totally love your tutorial!!! I was so frustrated trying to figure my Cricut Explore out but you explained things so well! Thanks for putting this out there for people like me. Hope you continue to do more of them!
Wow... You have made it sooo clear. I have had my cricut Explore Air for almost a year now, and have yet to take it to its full potential... Thank you!!
Thank you so much. Your video was perfect timing. Just today I was wondering how everyone on the Cricut Design Facebook page were making the split letters. Your instructions are very clear, and make feel like I can do this. I can't wait to try it. Gonna use your video to guide me step by step. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I could hug you : )
Thank You Than You Thank You Maymay. I have had my Cricut Air (First Cutting machine EVER) for less than a month. To say I am Excited is an Understatement ! Well I really wanted to make a Fancy Smancy Split letter project for a Wedding gift. But could not find the right one for sale or free. BUT YOU TAUGHT ME HOW ! I Loved your video it was so informative and easy to follow. I fell like a PRO ! LOL Seriously You my friend are an Awesome Teacher. Thank You so much for making this a fun and exciting adventure.
Karen Gunter Thank you so much! I am so glad that you were able to make the gift and feel like a pro. My mission is to teach so that everyone can do it!
Thank you for allowing us to see the WHOLE process...even the challenges when transferring the vinyl onto the tile. I had this happen and became frustrated. It's nice to see that it wasn't just me!
This was an awesome demonstration, I do not own an explore but I did love it...if I ever get an explore I will definitely duplicate your project for learning purposes, again you are an incredible instructor
Great video. I don't have a Cricut cutter but your video caught my eye so I watched. I have a 24in cutter but will be trying on my own tile. I was scared to try until I saw your video..going to watch Vinnie channel now. Thanks.
I have never used my brayer either, but I will now! Great idea, great piece of art. I have learned more about using my Cricut Explorer too. You make it look easy!
Thank you! I may finally have enough courage to try some projects I've been wanting to do since May. You made it look easy. Let's see if this Cricut newbie can do it.
Great tutorial! I just got a Cricut and as a beginner it is overwhelming! You showed me a lot of neat tricks and I can't wait for the weekend to start some projects! Thank you!!!
I loved this demo, I just got my first cricut and was struggling to understand what to do with design space. I followed your instructions and learned so much. Thanks
Yay! I also have some classes for your Cricut, I do some at my craft cottage in Alabama and I have online classes as well. If you join our facebook group called Maymay Made It and So Did I you can get updates on when we have them coming up. Thanks!
Thanks for working to figure out how to do the slice! I love the way that looks. I just bought my Cricut but I haven't taken it out of the box. JoAnns had it on sale for $199.. Woo Hoo! Looking forward to more of your videos.
Your tutorial helped me make my first project! I'm coming back because I need it again for another project. I turned the volume off but turned on CC....it's quite comical, you should watch for a giggle ;). Thanks so much for this, it's very handy!
What an informative video ! You explain so well. I am new to cricut and I think I can do this !!! I have a few wedding gifts that I want to this split design, can't wait to try. Thank you.... adorable !
Maymay, before I got my Cricut explore air, I was watching your videos! You explain things to where I can understand them! I was able to copy what you made. It was so awesome! Where can I find that roller you use?? LOL Can't wait for more videos!
thanks so much for the great video, i am off to locate my brayer, somewhere in this craft room! i cut out vinyl last night for a tile project, so this was very helpful. i am going to try to heat my tile with blow dryer to see if that will help with the vinyl to stick...will let you know!!
I have had my Cricut Explore for almost a year and I'm still learning all of it's capabilities! I just want to thank you for such a great step-by-step video tutorial. I have 'subscribed' to your channel & look forward to learning more from you. Thanks again. *oh...one quick question: what is the name of the roller you use and where can I find it?
+Yanilda Tineo Thanks for subscribing! It is a speedball brayer, I have seen them on amazon and lots of craft stores sell them. They are usually used for inks. Hope that helps!
You sure helped me make sense of slicing!! Thank you. Now to try it. I will keep your video handy as I do. Also I think it is great how you might make a mistake but show us how to fix things that don't go quite right.
I love your videos you explain every step so well and I've been looking for videos Iike this ! Can you keep making cricut videos I just got one and I feel so lost . Also can u make one with a multi layer vinyl? Idk how that would work
Awesome !!! U DID A GREAT TUTORIAL. I believe in the power of the brayer but have yet to do vinyl, I feel much better now, subscribed to ur channel and will see if u have a FB page.
Maymay Made It, I love your tutorials. I am looking for this particular flourish. Do you happen to have the name or image code to it? I've looked and looked and can't find it.
Is one able to import drawings or scanned drawings to the circut. If so, are you able to transfer to the unit by attaching it to a computer, or do you have the ability to transfer using a jump drive. If u can import, what formats can it import from?
This turned out adorable. If you can't find the dot you could always punch out a heart or a star shape.. They have a similar file in the Silhouette shop. You can also put it on a glass cutting boaard or cut it backwards and put on the back of a glass in a frame..... dee
Thank you so much - I've really enjoyed watching your videos. In this video you had difficulty in moving that one separation line. I had the same problem. Any idea on what is creating that problem? Thanks again

Deidre Weeks I am so glad you are feeling more comfortable. It takes some trial and error but you will be a pro in no time!
I watched this video a while ago and this is the project that has most "stayed" with me.TY!
By far the most informative video on the Cricut Ive found so far!!!! Thank you SO much! You just saved me a ton of time and Advil!
Maymay, I'm so happy to find your videos! I'm brand new to Cricut and was terrified yet intrigued. Your videos are so full of information and you're easy to listen to. LOL. Thanks so much for the vinyl tutorial! Headed to Lowes to look for tile!
Can't wait to see this week's "Vinnie's Vittles". Your project is so cute and will look great in the video. Thanks for the tutorial.
You absolutely ROCK!!!! I want to get a cricut, but I am intimidated by all of these fabulous finished products! After watching only TWO of your videos, I'm getting Santa on the line!!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!!

Jen's Little Place I have to agree, I didn't love my Expression this much, but I do love this Explore!
May may if you go to the dollar tree and get the clear shelf paper it works beautifully and it only costs a dollar for a roll.
I have never used my brayer either, but I will now! Great idea, great piece of art. I have learned more about using my Cricut Explorer too. You make it look easy!
Thank you! I may finally have enough courage to try some projects I've been wanting to do since May. You made it look easy. Let's see if this Cricut newbie can do it.
+Amie Hale I am so glad you feel you can do it, you really can, just play and have fun!
This tutorial was amazing. I'm getting my FIRST Cricut and I believe I can even do this ... right out the gate.
Great tutorial! I just got a Cricut and as a beginner it is overwhelming! You showed me a lot of neat tricks and I can't wait for the weekend to start some projects! Thank you!!!
Kimberly Cruz Have fun playing around! It is so fun to use!

*oh...one quick question: what is the name of the roller you use and where can I find it?
+Yanilda Tineo Thanks for subscribing! It is a speedball brayer, I have seen them on amazon and lots of craft stores sell them. They are usually used for inks. Hope that helps!
I know this is an older video but I just found it today. YES! I have to rub out the bubbles too. Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it and learned.
You sure helped me make sense of slicing!! Thank you. Now to try it. I will keep your video handy as I do. Also I think it is great how you might make a mistake but show us how to fix things that don't go quite right.
do you use the soft rubber brayer? I love this idea?!
You are a Rockstar. Im totally new and these eased my fear.
You mentioned in your video about washing your mat. Do you have a video on that and is that so you can reuse ones over again?
It turned out great. I cant wait to see it in one of Vinnie's videos :)
Thank you so much! I had no idea how this was done until now!
I am a newbie and am so intimidated! I got this now!
Thank you for this detailed video! just did it and it worked perfectly!
Danielle Deluca I would love to see it! I have a facebook group that you could share it on if you like. facebook.com/groups/598467710263772/

Keely Vega Thanks Keely!
Awesome !!! U DID A GREAT TUTORIAL. I believe in the power of the brayer but have yet to do vinyl, I feel much better now, subscribed to ur channel and will see if u have a FB page.
oh my goodness! I am so glad I found this tutorial!!!! Thank you so much!!!

Loved your video! Thanks for making and sharing it!
What an informative and easy to follow video! Thanks!
This video was great tomorrow I will go buy a tile to put mine.
Thanks again.
Maymay Made It, I love your tutorials. I am looking for this particular flourish. Do you happen to have the name or image code to it? I've looked and looked and can't find it.
Is one able to import drawings or scanned drawings to the circut. If so, are you able to transfer to the unit by attaching it to a computer, or do you have the ability to transfer using a jump drive.
If u can import, what formats can it import from?
This turned out adorable. If you can't find the dot you could always punch out a heart or a star shape.. They have a similar file in the Silhouette shop. You can also put it on a glass cutting boaard or cut it backwards and put on the back of a glass in a frame..... dee
DeeLightful Co Yep, I mentioned that you can mirror it for glass. I got lucky and found it this time but that is a great tip!
Oh wow...you're in Jemison. I am in Birmingham! Well, actually Adamsville. Awesome!
Thank you so much - I've really enjoyed watching your videos. In this video you had difficulty in moving that one separation line. I had the same problem. Any idea on what is creating that problem? Thanks again
What transfer tape do you like to use?
