I just love my Joy, bought it when I was feeling down as I'd had to stop a lot of my crafts due to arthritis. Now at 79 I'm learning and enjoying crafting again. A big thank you to you guys for all the fab tutorials 😊
Helen, is it hard to learn the joy. I’ve been debating to get one or not. I don’t do a lot of crafts but it looks like a lot of fun for what crafts I do. Thank you
@@larryward3394 it's the best thing I've bought in a long time. I have made cards for many years and used to sell them in the little shop I had. I ought Joy as I have arthritis, I just wish it was available then. From the first day I had it I was making cards to the standard I've aways been proud of. You will love it don't hesitate go for it. Let me know how you get on
This was an answered prayer I am currently living in a car but I still have a vision in a dream and this would be perfect for me while I'm in the car creating and selling my items for my home
I would make t-shirts, designs for wooden blocks to put in tier trays, gift tags, wooden signs. I would love this so convenient taking it along with you! I have so many ideas.
That sounds perfect! I use mine for all of my small projects too. It's really handy because it doesn't take up much space at all. If you'd like more information, let me know!
I love home decor. Especially farmhouse. I have the Cricut Joy. I got it about 2 months ago and have not used it yet. I don't know why I haven't. I keep watching different channels about it. You maded it look so easy. Thank you for sharing..🤗
my friend has a successful lash and lipgloss buisness, she uses circut in order to add her labels on the products. its an amazing way to make your buisness look professional. you should really consider buying it!
I am loving my little Joy! I love being able to carry it around the house to use in whatever room I need. I'd never do that with my Maker or Explore. I also love that it could be taken to craft shows for those who do them. Instant personalization. I have been using mine to make pantry labels while doing my "stay at home" thing. Making some cards with it and monogramming things. Who doesn't love a good monogram?! I hope to do some t-shirts for it too. Love how your little shirt came out. Hugs, Brenda
Im thinking to get one because Id like to use to make logos and letters for lanyards im a truck driver so this would probably be great for me because it doesnt take up alot of space
That is the cutest little machine. I think it would be a great tool for doing custom orders right then and there, like having personalized pieces at craft stores. I imagine you could increase sales because it's a quick application and the machine is not very expensive.
OMG i want one i want to do t shirts for my kids and my 2 year old niece! have wanted something like this for years! thanks you awesome demo and advice cheers
It would be perfect to take to craft shows to do custom orders on the spot. I also love the compact size to take when doing crafts with friends or when taking classes. There are a multitude of ways that this would come in handy!
Awesome thanks for sharing, I just got my Mimi press, and thinking 🤔 of picking up Cricut Joy, same thoughts for travelling, to be easier on the go, bless you
I'm a fashion designer. I'm considering to purchase Cricut Joy. I would use it for detail graphics in my garment designs to skip silk screening. Great to use for branding my designs.
That's a great way to use it! You could also use it for Infusible Ink if you're using fabric with a high polyester count. It's a great way to customize clothing.
I would use a cricket joy for putting iron on my grandkids clothes and to make different kinds of signs. But I have to get one. One day. Thank you for sharing your great work.
I’m going to use my new Cricut Joy for gift tags, and decor projects! I might do some small tshirts for gift giving, as well! Thank you for sharing your great ideas.
You definitely could! I would use it in smaller sections with the Joy. You could consider the Explore Air 2 to do full-size shirts, too. Let me know if you'd like any coupon and sales information!
I could see the use for it. As much as I love spending money on tech and sometimes regret my purchases, I don't see this as a practical purchase for me. But definitely some functionality :)
I have chronic pain and am often stuck in bed. I craft in bed to keep my mind busy. I have the air 2, and it’s so large and heavy, that I seldom use it. This would be perfect for my little signs and personalization! And, I have a 12 year old son. I guarantee he would love some personalized shirts. So fun!
Ver y good video!! and also complete! Because you explain us all the work that we have to do for use the red mini machine 😍 so! Now I already know that I have to have the blue machine too yes or yes 👍🏻✨✨✨ Thank you so much!
Get the word can't out of your vocabulary and rephrase your sentences. One day I am going to buy this machine b cus it is on sale 💰. So I can do my decor for the holidays that I love ❤️ for your days are blessed.
My sister and niece have the larger cricuts and I have no interest in getting one of those as it is just too confusing. I saw a lady that puts decals on her decorated painted rocks and just purchased the cricut joy to do just that. It seems simple enough for me to understand which is just my speed. Enjoyed your tutorial and maybe I'll branch out from decals, lol!
This was sooo helpful all the other videos I was still lost thank u and what was the app that u used on ur phone because I really could use that for on the go
I LOVE this!!! Thanks for showing how this aspect of the Joy works. I agree with both you and Lacee, perfect for craft fairs to personalize something for someone, in a quick way! I know Ashley you know, I really want this model (vs the more advanced Cricut's), for personalized (family) projects and home decor. Would love to see you make something like that (Please lol). The shirt is adorable.
I don't have the heating mat that u mentioned in your video, is there another way that u could suggest since I don't have the mat? And i really like the video
You definitely can! I recommend using butcher paper or parchment paper between the iron and the decal and using the iron on the cotton setting with no steam. Here's a link to my free iron-on vinyl guide: www.thethriftychica.com/blog/the-complete-iron-on-vinyl-htv-guide-everything-you-need-to-know
You could make some table scatter, some cute designs to sit on straws, table decor, and awesome signs! It's more compact, so it works best for smaller projects, but you could definitely use it for that.
I'm new to Cricut. I bought this because my son is always needing a holiday shirt for school. I get tired of running around town trying to find a shirt. Next holiday is St. Patrick's day! I hope to ready for that holiday! Do you think the cricut joy can pull off a personalized tshirt for an adult? Thanks
Hi! The Joy can cut longer pieces, so if you created designs that were in layers, it could work. I can give you some ideas for designs that would be easier for the Joy on adult shirts if you'd like to message me on Facebook. I have a community called Dollar Tree, DIYs and Decor there. :-)
Thank you! I went into a Michael's store today. The staff had me ready to return my Joy and buy a bigger machine when I really don't want that! I'm about to look for your group. Thanks!
@@TheThriftyChica just joined your group! I'm new to all this but have always been crafty. I don't have the space for the larger machines so I'm curious about what I can do with the Joy re adult tees!

Love watching this video. I cant wait to purchase mine. Quick question the mat you popped over the top before ironing i cant find on amazon. Is there something else we can use or is that the best. Thanks x
Very cute! Just curious though: washing inside out, what is the longest life of it? My issue is, I don't use my Joy for selling crafts, but have run out of relatives/friends/self to make things for, I just don't know what else to do with it? I do some donations to church for Christmas, but have run out of things to do. HELP!
You could! You would want to cut out multiple layers of cardstock and adhere them together to make a cake topper. I love using a glitter layer and a few cardstock layers, then glueing it to a Dollar Tree dowel rod.
Hi loved your video ,very helpful . where did you get your Cricut Press Heat Mat, I have looked for it and not having an success finding it , thank you
Hi! It's currently out of stock right now, but it's called "Iron-on Protective Sheet" on Cricut's website. Feel free to message me for a coupon code, too!

Thank you so much!
This was so easy to follow and her voice was so soothing lol
This was an answered prayer I am currently living in a car but I still have a vision in a dream and this would be perfect for me while I'm in the car creating and selling my items for my home
You have to live up to your name. Good luck
Yes on the Go and easy to use in a busy house with six kiddos. I can't wait to get one so we can make so many decorations for our family and friends
I would make t-shirts, designs for wooden blocks to put in tier trays, gift tags, wooden signs. I would love this so convenient taking it along with you! I have so many ideas.

My husband just bought me one, he knows I love to personalize ours daughters stuff especially t-shirts! I’m so excited
Yay! Congratulations! Let me know if you have any questions! It's a super fun machine!
I would use this to make labels for my daughter business. Making Lipgloss labels to put on her tubes or whatever
my friend has a successful lash and lipgloss buisness, she uses circut in order to add her labels on the products. its an amazing way to make your buisness look professional. you should really consider buying it!
The Joy would be perfect for this!
I've made cards, now I'm going to do t shirt iron ons too! All sorts of other stuff too
I love the cricut joy. Thanks for doing a cute short video
I love this. I make infant onesies, this would be great for making cute designs.
I dont own one yet, but excited just thinking of all the shirts for my 6 year old daughter, organizing and farmhouse decor i can use it on.
Love how portable this is!! I think it works for great for decals and cards!!
Thanks for watching! It really is perfect for all the little projects, and it's very quick to use.
Is anybody going to admire that she is casually just making a shirt in a hotel
yes lol
Love this little machine for small projects this is very versatile.
I am going to take it to my daughters home to make labels for her. Making labels for things is the best. I am getting my joy on Wednesday next.
Awesome! It really makes it super quick to do labels and keep things organized!
Do you know if the cricut joy smart vinyl comes in a matte black or only black glossy?

Definitely! That would be a perfect application for it. I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing this at craft fairs.
Thank you for this. I plan to use the joy when I have to iron on my logo on items!
I love mine. I’ve even used it at work
That's awesome! Love when you can work and craft!
I’m so excited for mine to arrive. I don’t know where to start, but I think I’ll figure it out. 😂
Let me know if you have any questions! I'm happy to help!
What’s the app to use on the phone for the picture
I just ordered mine Friday and all I’ve been doing is watching TH-cam videos on how to use it! Can’t wait! This video was very helpful!
That thing is pretty cool. You are traveling with it ?? Lol
@@TheThriftyChica please can I know where I can get some, I'm in Ghana
Wow. Thank you! I’m finally going to use my Cricut Joy after watching this tutorial.
I love this! I think I might start with this machine, seems simple, the others seem really complicated!
I REALLY LIVE FOR THESE VIDEOS ! 💻👏🏽😩🥂😂💰
OMG i want one i want to do t shirts for my kids and my 2 year old niece! have wanted something like this for years! thanks you awesome demo and advice cheers
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions!
Make shirt
It would be perfect to take to craft shows to do custom orders on the spot. I also love the compact size to take when doing crafts with friends or when taking classes. There are a multitude of ways that this would come in handy!
Yes! I recently took the machine over to a friend's house to let her try it out. It was really easy to work with on the go!
I'm going to be making decals for work, as well as headstock logos for custom guitars
Love it and very well explained
Decor for my home and other things
Was thinking on getting on to make vinyl stickers, and smaller logos for my shop
Making Thank you cards for my customers. Would give that extra personal touch.
That sounds perfect! It really makes a nice touch to receive a card!
Awesome thanks for sharing, I just got my Mimi press, and thinking 🤔 of picking up Cricut Joy, same thoughts for travelling, to be easier on the go, bless you
Thank u for sharing I just got my cricket joy and don't know how to use it still
Would like to make a granpa shirt but very new to this
That would be awesome! Cricut has some super cute designs that are free to use in their library.
Great video! Just bought my wife one! I'm just as excited ...lol.. cool tool!
That's awesome! Let me know if you guys have any questions! We have a Facebook group for crafting, too!
I wish I have one too for my small business
That's a great use for it!

Got a Cricut Joy for Mother's Day but can't figure out how to use it..Thought classes would be given somewhere but no luck. May have to return it.
Was the cricuit and easy press carry on items or checked baggage?
I’m going to use my new Cricut Joy for gift tags, and decor projects! I might do some small tshirts for gift giving, as well! Thank you for sharing your great ideas.
That sounds perfect for the holidays!
I wanted to use it for shirts
You definitely could! I would use it in smaller sections with the Joy. You could consider the Explore Air 2 to do full-size shirts, too. Let me know if you'd like any coupon and sales information!
I could see the use for it. As much as I love spending money on tech and sometimes regret my purchases, I don't see this as a practical purchase for me. But definitely some functionality :)
I think the most flexibility would probably be with the Explore Air 2 or the Maker, but the Cricut Joy is really fun! Thanks for watching!
I'm interested in this for personalizing laptops. It looks like it would do the job nicely!
I have chronic pain and am often stuck in bed. I craft in bed to keep my mind busy. I have the air 2, and it’s so large and heavy, that I seldom use it.

I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!
Thanks so much for your kind words!
You are So Welcome ❤️
I would use it for everything i love to craft its so relaxing to me. I like tht its a travel size so i could take it any where i needed to.
The Joy really makes it fun to DIY with, and it's super fun to travel with!
Ver y good video!! and also complete! Because you explain us all the work that we have to do for use the red mini machine 😍 so! Now I already know that I have to have the blue machine too yes or yes 👍🏻✨✨✨ Thank you so much!
Still need to learn my cricut joy
It’s great for putting labels on caps and designs on sneakers
Thx for the review please is it necessary to use the heat iron!?
Love home decorating especially for the holidays.. just can’t afford one right now..
Get the word can't out of your vocabulary and rephrase your sentences. One day I am going to buy this machine b cus it is on sale 💰. So I can do my decor for the holidays that I love ❤️ for your days are blessed.
I would used it doing tees for my children and doing crafts
That would be awesome for using the Cricut Joy!
i just got the Cricut maker and i can't wait to start using it and show it on my channel.
Enjoy! Love the Maker!
Thank you!!!!
O wow thank you for sharing. Can I use a normal iron?
What kind of paper are you using ?
My sister and niece have the larger cricuts and I have no interest in getting one of those as it is just too confusing. I saw a lady that puts decals on her decorated painted rocks and just purchased the cricut joy to do just that. It seems simple enough for me to understand which is just my speed. Enjoyed your tutorial and maybe I'll branch out from decals, lol!
This one is just the right size to still stay fun! You should try the cards and making shirts, it's really great!
I'm thinking I want one ! I have the explore & air 2.
The original bug.
This was sooo helpful all the other videos I was still lost thank u and what was the app that u used on ur phone because I really could use that for on the go

@@TheThriftyChica how are you doing
I make decals for the back window on my car and decals for my guitar case.
Wow that’s amazing , I’d love to start a business soon !! It seems like time consuming but worth it all 🥺❤️ thank you , you are very informative 👍🏽🤩
You can do it!
Great demo teaching! Wondering about the cops and the heat designs. Wondering about jewelry.
I would use the Joy for things on the go or in another room, I can take it to work to use for my students etc….
I don't have the heating mat that u mentioned in your video, is there another way that u could suggest since I don't have the mat? And i really like the video
I’m getting one for my birthday I do resin art and I can do so much with this lil joy I think u have convinced me lol great video

Enjoy! If you need a link to the sales, let me know!

Personalized gifts! Thank you for this!
Thank you so much for this video!!!!! I just bought the Cricut Joy today and am trying to learn as much as I can!
I hope you're having a great time! Let me know if you have any questions!
How are you liking in Marie? Thinking of getting one for my daughter
@@robd5326 I absolutely love it!! I can’t imagine ever needing the bigger one.
Marie Gilmore Thanks I mentioned it to my daughter today and she was so excited.
I bought and still knew but have done some things already
can you use a regular iron instead of the cricut iron?
You definitely can! I recommend using butcher paper or parchment paper between the iron and the decal and using the iron on the cotton setting with no steam. Here's a link to my free iron-on vinyl guide: www.thethriftychica.com/blog/the-complete-iron-on-vinyl-htv-guide-everything-you-need-to-know
Can you make party favors out this? Or any personalized decorations with the cricut joy?
You could make some table scatter, some cute designs to sit on straws, table decor, and awesome signs! It's more compact, so it works best for smaller projects, but you could definitely use it for that.
Thrifty Chica Thank you!! I would love to see you make a couple as examples,
I made Fortnite confetti for my sons bday.
What is the white paper u put on the vinyl before u put the heat on it
I'm new to Cricut. I bought this because my son is always needing a holiday shirt for school. I get tired of running around town trying to find a shirt. Next holiday is St. Patrick's day!

Hello! I really love the Mini EasyPress! It's currently on sale for $49.99! Here's an affiliate link to it: www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=451225&m=51766&u=2160491 If you need any materials, tools, or accessories, use code THRIFTY10 to save 10% off and get free shipping on orders over $50.

Can you please tell me the name of your items ..the iron and what types of paper did you used and ink ..thank u
Love watching this video. I cant wait to purchase mine. Quick question the mat you popped over the top before ironing i cant find on amazon. Is there something else we can use or is that the best. Thanks x
What is the white sheet that you are placing on top of the design before you iron? Thanks
Very cute! Just curious though: washing inside out, what is the longest life of it? My issue is, I don't use my Joy for selling crafts, but have run out of relatives/friends/self to make things for, I just don't know what else to do with it? I do some donations to church for Christmas, but have run out of things to do. HELP!
What is that paper u use to go over the picture and to then put the heating on it ?
Can be use for making customized cake toppers?
You could! You would want to cut out multiple layers of cardstock and adhere them together to make a cake topper. I love using a glitter layer and a few cardstock layers, then glueing it to a Dollar Tree dowel rod.
If we don’t own the heat press, could we use an iron instead or not?
Is the clear tape transfer tape ?
Possible to use for shoe stencils?
The mat you used on top for ironing the front? where can I find one?
Hi! You can find it under "Iron-on protective sheet" on Cricut's website. It's currently sold-out, but it's well-worth the wait!
Do you know if this works good on velvet fabric?
Will that work on a piece of pine wood ?
Hi loved your video ,very helpful . where did you get your Cricut Press Heat Mat, I have looked for it and not having an success finding it , thank you

I want to learn the Cricut Joy,
How does it hold up in the wash?
It does well! Cricut recommends to wash the shirts inside out and avoid bleach. The ones I have made have lasted a couple of years so far.
Hi, iam wondering if I can create my own designs from scratch or just limited these pre-made designs thay the circut joy has?
