Hi! I just wanted to say how much I love watching your videos! You're so informative! I started watching your videos because I was looking for inspiration for my son's first birthday (baby Mickey theme). I love that you're so willing to share your tips and tricks. I've learned Sooo much from your videos. I watch every single video you put up because they're always so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing stuff about your family and for sharing your knowledge with everyone!
this is awesome. I LOVE all your detailed videos, I watched so many of your videos yesterday :) I have a question with your new Epson printer, how often do you go through ink? I am thinking of investing in wide format printer..
mrsrichard2008 Thank you :) As far as ink goes I really don't know how much I get done, I do know that I get a ton done before having to change the ink. I get that question asked often and I just don't have a good answer. I print on quality always and I ONLY use the Epson Ink. The time it saves me pays for the ink, I can do so much more which is better for business than spending time using color paper and piecing everything. It was the best decision I made for my business so the ink is the last thing I pay attention to.
Love your videos and your designs, I am curious though, do you print out all if your images and if so what printer do you use? Thank you for the info and the videos!
sarabbeydiane Thank you. Yes, I print pretty much all of my images, saves time and is much cleaner and neater than paper piecing. I have two Epson Printers, both 12 inch, 7510 and 7620. I upgraded to get the two paper trays and decided to use them both so I had even more paper trays and less changing of paper :o)
cricflix Thank you for the reply, I know what you mean about it being more seamless than paper piecing, I love to paper piece but it's for me only or a card.. Would you recommend pretty much any epson printer? I really don't need a 12 inch, but I guess it wouldn't hurt, and I think you mentioned you only use the epson ink. I have been purchasing the generic and that might be why my printer is not printing great at all. thank s again.
Hi i found your videos and watched them all very nice. Well I just want to say I pray the you are healed. Amen. Now those stands you use did you make them or buy them? I am making my grand daubers 2nd birthday of Minnie that is how I came across your videos and OMG I was looking for veggie tales and I saw yours loved them.
+Karen Garcia Hi Karen, and thank you. The bases are unfinished wood pieces from Michaels and my husband paints them then drills the peg hole in them using a small drill press.
+cricflix Oh Ok Thank you OMG you do great things. I have a circuit since 2013 and still in box I have not used don't know why :/ Then you say you would never go back to the circuit. They are ok though right? Well any I love everything you do. God bless you.
Hi Jill... You mentioned you order the ATG gun tape on line. By any chance would you be willing to share the website and the style number for the tape? Love your work and blessings to you and the family.
Michelle Clayborne Yes, they are all pieced like the Cricut Cartridge with the exception of the face, I make the face one cut so I don't have all those little pieces, like the eyes and tongue.
Jill, After you print the image from your computer, What happens next? Do you put the image on the mat then and let the cutting machine cut that images as well? I'm trying to see what happens after you print the image from your computer the steps that I would have to take to bring the centerpieces together?
I use to butt the two pieces together and connect them with a 1/2 wide strip of paper. I no longer do it that way, I just overlap the two sheets by a 1/4 inch which is exactly the width of my ATG tape that I run along the edge.
Hi Jill hope all is well. I just had a simple question. What kind of chipboard do you use to make your books.? I found a medium weight 25 pack from grafix for $5. Was wondering if that was ok to use. Thanks.
Vanessa Feliciano I have ordered that before and it is really thin. Walmart has the best, I don't know the weight off hand but it is the only chipboard they carry. Price is good too.
what black 12X12 paper do you use? another question i have. when i print and cut and them just cut paper for the background piece. the 2 pieces never match up properly. I am thinking it is because i am printing borderless 11X17. could that be altering my size for the print and cut and then my cut is the actual size of the layout. any advise is greatly appreciated.
lburdettro I use Recollections black pre pack 12x12 paper from Michaels. Are you doing your back ground as an offset? The borderless should not have anything to do with your cut being off. You are doing something wrong. Can you send me a sample file and see if I can tell what is wrong.
thank you so much for the info, I worked on this on my shilouette all night but I can't figure out how you just used 2 12x12 square I'm using the same image but the hands get cut off, not sure what dimensions to use
Hi Jill love when you do the Minnie mouse videos, I screenshot like you said of the present box I still can't figure out how to put together, can you please send me your video that you have done thank you you're the best
+Mary Ann Rodriguez I got the image from Mickey & Friends Cricut Cartridge. The black piece that it stands on is a wood unfinished pine base that my husband paints black and drills a hole in for the peg and the colors are either cut from color card stock and layered piece my piece on the black background or I use my silhouette Cameo using the print and cut feature.
+Melondy Whitfield Yes I do. Please visit my shop at cricflix.etsy.com and you can send me a special request if you would like or you can email me at cricflix@gmail.com. Thank you
BTW you are one of the best grandmothers, they are so blessed :)

Hello Jill,
I pray all is well.
Did you ever get around to making the 2 foot tall giraffe?
Natural K & Spa No, I have been busier than a Cranberry Merchant on Thanksgiving day trying to keep up with my orders...no time for anything else.
Hi Jill whats the website a, going to be doing some centerpieces of minnie mouse for my niece bday next month thank you love all your work
+Elizabeth Quintero www.disneyclips.com/imagesnewb/daisyduck.html
Thank you so much
Hi Jill... You mentioned you order the ATG gun tape on line. By any chance would you be willing to share the website and the style number for the tape? Love your work and blessings to you and the family.
TheCraftySandy it is from the tapedepot.com I don't know the part number, I just type in 1/4" tape rolls.
jill,
when you are doing the bigger centerpieces, Are you printing everything out by pieces right and then putting everything together?
Michelle Clayborne Yes, they are all pieced like the Cricut Cartridge with the exception of the face, I make the face one cut so I don't have all those little pieces, like the eyes and tongue.
Also to make the centerpieces that big Do you glue two pieces of black paper together?
Michelle Clayborne Yes I do.
Jill,
After you print the image from your computer, What happens next? Do you put the image on the mat then and let the cutting machine cut that images as well? I'm trying to see what happens after you print the image from your computer the steps that I would have to take to bring the centerpieces together?
Also when you glue two pieces of paper together what did you use that black strip for?
I use to butt the two pieces together and connect them with a 1/2 wide strip of paper. I no longer do it that way, I just overlap the two sheets by a 1/4 inch which is exactly the width of my ATG tape that I run along the edge.
Love it, I order my atg tape from uline. How much do you pay per roll on your website?
Rapides Creations not sure...I will have to check. I think I must be tired because I have NO idea what I pay. Ill check and update you.
Hi Jill. I will really like to know we're you buy the wood base. For the center pieces to stand up on.
rosa jimenez I get them at Michaels in the unfinished wood. My husband paints them and runs them trough a drill press for the peg holes.
Thank you Jill your amazing.
Hi Jill hope all is well. I just had a simple question. What kind of chipboard do you use to make your books.? I found a medium weight 25 pack from grafix for $5. Was wondering if that was ok to use. Thanks.
