I'm so excited to be sharing some more beginner-friendly Cricut projects with you! I'm also showing you how to use Cricut Design Space that you can download for free.
A HUGE thank you to Cricut for sponsoring today's video and for sending me some of the supplies I crafted with in this video. You've seen me use it all over on my channel - so I'm excited to dive in and share more with you!

Cricut currently offers 3 different machines at three different price points and capabilities:
the Cricut Joy: shrsl.com/2rh77
Cuts 50+ materials, including iron-on, cardstock, vinyl, paper, and Smart Materials™ - super-easy, super-long cuts without a cutting mat
You do need special mats for this size and you can't cut as wide of decals as you can on the machine I showed. I have a Joy, but I use it as a companion to my Explore Air 2.
Cricut Explore Air 2: shrsl.com/2rh79
Cuts 100 materials - everything from cardstock, vinyl, and iron-on to a range of specialty materials.
For a beginner, this is what I'd recommend to get the most bang for your buck.
Cricut Maker: shrsl.com/2rh7b
Cuts 300+ materials, from the most delicate fabric and paper to matboard and leather
If you plan to cut more difficult materials (like wood), while this is more expensive, it could be worth it. I don't have a Maker, but I would love to get one eventually!

I am so glad someone is doing cricut crafts for beginners. I got my circut for Christmas and haven’t been able to do much. Now I am excited, these crafts are perfect for me. I loved them. Hope you do more cricut crafts.
OK..now I am addicted to your site...Thank YOU

Thank you so much for always teaching i mean really teaching what you are making. There aren't a lot of KZreadrs that go through step by step processes.for the Cricut like you do. I love the things you make and that they look high end and on a budget. I like that you don't just use dollar tree items. Have a great week and thank you for what you do.
So glad to know I’m not the only one who struggles with thin fonts.
My husband just got me this for Christmas. Work has been so wild i haven't been able to get it out of the box. Watching your video this morning I want to skip work and stay home and play lol thanks for all the inspiration!
Thank you! You are amazing! I am a total cricket newbie and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much!

Being a new Cricut Joy owner, my biggest challenge is navigating the Cricut design space so your videos on Cricut use are so helpful. Thanks so much. Also, loved all the sayings you made for this video.
Hi Whitney, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your Channel. I just purchased my Cricut machines, heat press and supplies . I am excited about learning to create items you've demonstrated. I think your items are Classy, Beautiful and speak to the heart! Thank you.

Hi Whitney they all turned out great and very cute 👍 TFS have a great evening stay safe and God Bless.
I think I will try the little rolling pins next. Thank you so much. ♥️
Yes please, I would love to see seasonal rolling pins. Thank you for these great tip and tricks. Stay safe my friend 🙂❤️
Yes please. I would love it if you would share your seasonal projects with the rolling pins. Thank you for sharing Whitney! I love your channel.

Hi Whitney, thank you so much for doing this! My husband bought me the original Circut 16 years ago, right after we got married, then he bought me a Maker in August and I'm intimidated to use it. It's so different than using a cartridge, but your video really helped. I'd love to see more Cricut videos from you for sure. I'm not very computer literate, so that adds to my intimidation. I'm going to get it out of the box and get going. Thank you again!

@@Whiskeyandwhit The cricut brand. Yes I use my scrapper that came with my cricut. I am determined to try again. When I watch everyone it looks so easy and looks like hardly no pressure. Maybe I am using too much pressure LOL. I just got an Easy Press for Christmas and have done a kids t shirt and ready to do more. Thank you for replying.
Love each one of these ideas Thank you from a beginner
Love you video on the cricut. My husband got me one for Christmas Your video is very slow and educational. Plaster do more cricut videos
I learn a lot from your video on the the Cricut. Thank you
Love everything!!!!❤️

I enjoyed this...I received a Joy for Christmas and I'm slowly learning how to use it.
I do not own a Cricut, but I still enjoyed watching. :) I make the rolling pins using the DT rub on transfer words. I used Joy, Grace, etc for Christmas gifts. I like I can play with other methods and maybe one day I'll be blessed with a Cricut. 🙏

I'm so glad you're doing these Cricut videos...love all the projects. No Hobby Lobby here yet, but there will be in May of this year! Woohoo! Can't wait! 🥳 Thin fonts can be difficult for sure. Patience is definitely key with weeding them. I would definitely like to see what you do seasonally with the rolling pins. They are so cute. Looking forward to more great Cricut diy's, tips and hacks! 😊💕
So glad to see this video today it helped me alot. Thank you for sharing! God bless you and your family!

This is one of the best beginner “lessons” I’ve seen Whitney. Thanks for taking the time to put this all together for us Cricut newbies. (I’ve had other Cricuts but never one to use with DS....I had the “old” kind that you used with cartridges. DS is definitely new to me.) Would love to see what you put together for baby gifts especially as well as the different ideas for the mini rolling pins. Thanks for all the inspiration! 🤗 #kindnessmatters

Oh, Whitney, thank you so much for this! I got my Cricut for my birthday last October. I have set it up, and I cut a heart and some letters out of paper, but the vinyl is what I am really wanting to do. Your creativity and straightforward manner are things I have loved about watching your channel. This video is perfect for me right now, and I can't wait to make some signs! Thank you also for your generous gift of access to your cut files for free. You are such a light! Bless you and your little family during this coming year! Thank you again ❤

Loved this video. My Mom got a Cricut Maker last year for us to share. I don't get to see her everyday, so I'm still trying to learn how to use it myself so I can teach her. I am wanting to learn how to do address labels so I can make them for her.
