GETTING STARTED WITH CRICUT EXPLORE 3 | MAKING STICKERS & DIY HOME PROJECTS + STORAGE LABELS | AD

Hello and welcome back to my channel. I hope you had a lovely Christmas. I’m still enjoying a little bit of time offline but I wanted to share a video I filmed before Christmas that I have been so excited about….
I am so excited to be testing out the Cricut Explore 3. Over the last year or so I have really got into making my own illustrations and art work, I am a complete beginner but I love it. So I was so excited to put the Cricut Explore 3 to the test to make my own stickers and also do some DIY home projects...
Thank you so much to Cricut for sending one of their Explore 3 machines, I am thrilled to be working with them. One of my goals for 2022 is to enjoy being more creative and try and seek out time to do this.

    The BEST demo I have seen by miles. At last someone who is actually interested in the machine and what it can do for them. Thanks Katie. Your artwork is wonderful, a very talented Lady. Would be good as you progress on your Cricut journey to see more videos. With all respect to our US channels would be nice to hear an English voice on screen too. The pup looks fully grown now bet you are glad that early stage is over! Best wishes for 2022.

    Thanks Katie - I'd heard about Cricut and was wondering how it works, I'm very tempted to get one now! I'd love to see a similar vlog on Procreate because the two things complement each other. I know that you are talented when it comes to drawing but can a complete novice design something nice on Procreate e.g. are there templates at all or is it simply for you to design your own thing?

    Thank you Cherie I have always wondered about Cricut too and I am loving the machine, especially for my art stuff. I am a beginner at procreate but would be happy to share the tips that I’ve learnt that have helped me the most. There aren’t templates as far as I’m aware but you’d definitely get the hang of it quickly, it’s essentially like having a piece of paper and lots of different pens to draw/paint whatever you want, only digitally. With the added bonus of being able to rub any mistakes out and start again. It’s a brilliant program. ❤️
