My husband bought the Cricut Air Explorer 2 for me on my birthday in October of this year so I am still in the learning process. I have learned so much from watching your tutorials. You are very creative! Thanks so much!

You are an excellent teacher! I've had my Explore for 3 years, and I am learning new things every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you!!

Thank you for posting this! I love that you showed your "fails" too. I feel like they happen to me everyday and I was nice to see an expert like yourself fail every now and then.

You are so welcome! I make plenty of mistakes! As long as we are learning from them, it's what's most important! :)

I was so excited to see this I tried one straight away. I used stick paper, kraft board and I put a self adhesive laminator sheet over it. it turned out absolutely fantastic. You are a legend Jennifer. I have one xmas present done already. Thank you so much and God bless.

I LOVE this idea! Thank your for this tutorial. I would have never thought to make a puzzle using the Cricut! Thinking I will make some for Christmas for grandparents with kids pictures. :)

So glad I found your you tube channel Jennifer. I just got my Explore Air 2 and can't wait to try these projects. I was just thinking if you stuck your picture on the brown side of the cereal box, you would have a double puzzle.

This is so cool Jennifer! I love this idea and I hope Greg loved his puzzle. Hugs, Brenda

Thank-you Jennifer! Full of great tips and ideas. Thanks for the breakdown on the chip boards. Looking forward to tomorrow because I haven't done any wood projects yet.

I saw on KZread how to cut Cricut chipboard for making puzzles with sticker paper, they turned it face down so the sticker paper wouldn’t be cut on so many times. Try that and let us know if it works that way. I just love your videos and all you do for us. Thanks Jennifer

Thank you so much Adriana! It means so much for you to say that and reach out! So glad you are here!

Also, for those of you using Cricut Explore Air 2, make sure you set your dial to Custom to get to All Materials menu when it is time to cut.

The only issue I have run into with removing items from the mats is when I rolled my mat, after having done this successfully many times, my mat snapped in half. Now I am leary about rolling the mat. Love the puzzle svgs you made. Thank you, once again.

Thank you , Thank you, Thank you so much !!! I just made mine. I used a cake box and it was perfect ! Everything went well . I am so happy !!! You are the best !!! I love your tutorials.

Thank you so much for posting these videos. I'm a novice and needed step-by-step guidance. You're my hero!

So my first puzzle on the maker got shredded on the cereal box. Will try on my air 2 see how that one comes out. Thanks

I love love love your tutorials! Can we all come over and have coffee with you? (Not really, but it would be fun to do a livestream fb sometime and we all have coffee with you.) I've now cut my puzzle three times. It still hasn't cut all the way through, not even close. I'm using a cereal box (maybe mine is thicker than Rice Krispies), I've now set the cereal box setting to 350 and x9 and clicked more. Still didn't cut though. I have a brand new deep cut blade, first time I've used it. I'm cutting the same puzzle over and over at this point until it will finally cut through, then I'll print it out fresh. Gotta have something special to send the grandkids during this everyone-stay-inside time for the Covid-19 virus. It's a picture of them, and they'll love to get it in the mail if only I can get it to cut. Maybe a setting other than cereal box? What's a little thicker? I'm not experienced enough to figure it out yet. Thank you for whatever suggestions you may have!

Hi there! I'm sure your grandkids would love it! Have you tried setting your pressure to "more"? I always set my pressure to more as I find I get cleaner cuts that way. You may also want to check out my tips here - jennifermaker.com/cricut-blades-cutting-tips/ :)

@kealliew

4 жыл бұрын

@@JenniferMaker I did have "more" clicked, and I used every single deep blade material possible with increased pressure except the obviously too thin ones, like aluminum foil. Every. Single. One. I finally decided it had to be the blade. I ordered a new one and voila, a perfect puzzle! 37th time's a charm! LOL Now I'm going to get busy and make personalized puzzles to mail to friends during this quarantine time! Little things...

I had no idea cereal box was considered a material and that you could change the pressure

I love this idea! Thanks for the inspiration!

I love you you are so inspiring and easy to follow. Thank you

Searching for ways to make puzzles today using family photos and this is perfect. No make that PURRRRFECT. Seeing how you inserted the heart shape and hidden words is just close to what I intend to do. I want to make numerous kitty shapes throughout my puzzle as our family and husbands family are great cat and pet lovers. So of course one for dogs too is on the agenda. Paw prints across a puzzle would be fun or all around the borders perhaps. I have an older machine so not sure what I'll need to digitize and adjust all things just so but it'll be great once it's nailed because then you can remake with any future photos just following the same lay out with or without extra tweaking or slight design or personalized changes. Say someones name printed across in scrpt. Of course with my old machine that means that's a shape not able to do with a font built in like you can with the newbies on the market. Thank you for sharing these adorable puzzles plus working out all the kinks with the backboard too. (Not many cereal boxes in our house but I do eat shredded wheat and yes been saving them for a while now. My husband thinks I'm nuts cutting up not only the cereal box but the plastic like liners these days to use with intricate die cutting machine dies to help with weeding. I just cut into down the seam and cut off the seam and then roll each piece from box after box onto a thin wax paper roll saved from years ago.) Thanks again for this share. Stay safe everyone.
