Cricut Challenge for Beginners - January Update & February details

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2025
- Hey planner pals. Back in January I said we were going to do a Cricut challenge in 2025 with a focus each month on pushing ourselves to create more. Well January was a total disaster here in So Cal, quite literally, and it was only this week that I've been able to USE my Cricut reliably due to power outages. So the Cricut challenge is here, albeit I little later than planned.
For January my challenge was to use Sticker paper for multiple projects. I print & cut decorative planner stickers, mailing labels, sticker 'blanks', number/letter stickers for memory keeping and cut a prototype for monthly flip boxes.

🖋 I have so many pens and I also have the supertip markers and they do work! Also if you get those rubber pencil grippers and slice them you can slide them over a skinny pen to make it fit in your pen holder! There are lots of older Cricut videos on this! I also want to try to make some quote stickers and/or labels on a sheet in glitter and metallic for junk journal or bullet journal type things! All the Cricut things! lol😝
Yay glad to know the super tips work! yeah I'd heard that about the rubber grippy thing. Hubby said there is also a 3D printed attachment so I may let him help with that too lol! Oooh quote stickers!! HECK YES!!!!
I’m excited about this one! I’ve never used markers either! You’ve inspired me! I use my cricut for print and cut stickers. I do have some plain white boxes I cut on sticker paper for when I mess up in my planner. I can just start over with that box by covering up my mistake with a fresh white box. Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! Yep that's what I've realized, having them quickly available to cover up helps so much! makes me more likely to use the stickers!
I'm excited to see all the ways the cricut can be used. I don't have one, but I have seriously been thinking about getting one.
they can equally be fun, excited and infuriating. LOL, technology can be a headache sometimes but I do love mine!
Not got a cricut but I do have silhouettes and you’ve inspired me to use my pens in that. Really like the idea of doing some labels for my drawers and boxes!
For sure, same things apply for the silhouette!
Great idea. I have a Cricut and don’t know much about it.
I hope you get inspired to try new things!
I have one of the original Cricuts that was given to me and hadn’t been used very much. I also have a lot of the cartridges if that’s what they’re called. I know it really doesn’t measure up to the newer ones but I would really like to know how to use it for very simple things. I’ve always kind of felt it might not be worth the effort.
Oooh I don't know re the old ones. The cartridges was why I didn't buy the original ones. Too limiting. But Consider this your challenge to get it all out and play with it! Learn the ins and outs!
Great ideas! I have making boxes on my agenda for my cricut. My planner is an A5 and I have a hard time finding boxes for my monthly spreads.
The pens are fun. I’ve used mine a few times, but not much.
If you need help with boxes let me know! 💕
@ thanks Di! I will keep that in mind! 😊
@Di, You are just fabulously inspiring, I have a maker 3 and sooo want to make my own boxes and words and banners but have no clue how to I have a really hard time with the sizing of texts and boxes if I make any sense any way I watch and follow you because again you are a total inspiration for me. If you have any ideas or know of any videos that can help me I would greatly appreciate it
Don’t know how😩
do you have a cricut?
Yes have a maker 3 but not sure how to use it. I have terrible issues with the sizing of stickers boxes text. Basically when look at mat on Design Space can’t tell really how big or small it actually is I try and try and just get frustrated. Also trying to figure out how to make gold and silver mini flags and bullet points and don’t know where to find the sticker paper for 0:10 that it’s just a big conundrum. If you know of any videos or anything that could help me I would greatly appreciate it I watch you all the time and just wanted you to know how you and Reenie have been a world of inspiration for me and I want to thank you for that and let you know how much appreciated you guys are to me.
These are FANTASTIC questions and I will answer them here but it's given me ideas for a future video!
- For boxes and text you need to look at the sizing. The size of the whole word/sentence/box is in the tool bar (again I'll share a video on tips for this)
Gold and silver with the cricut you can do a couple of ways:
- vinyl. Now you can't write on it but it would work for bullets, arrows, quotes etc
- Foil transfer kit: there is a tool for the cricut called the foil transfer kit, this is the reason I started the challenge. I bought one, then never used it! (along with a few others). I wanted to do foiled quotes etc for December daily and never got around to it. But it adds foil to the paper.
- Sticker paper I use is linked in the description of the video, I buy mine from Amazon. Clear I use this one by MACO amzn.to/3Zxb7WD

TY TY
I think I have a cricut pen????? I was thinking about having it write a big word to go across my planner page. For a spread. Like “St. Patrick’s”
see we're crowd sourcing so many ideas!
What will you make with Pens in February?
