To cut the butterfly out of the square you can make the square the size you want, then duplicate it about 6-8 times layer them on top of one another, then put the butterfly in the middle. You don't have to adjust or reload the mat because it all cuts at the same time. Even on the vinyl setting for the butterfly the square will be cut out the same way because it cuts the same square multiple times.

@@stacycapps9575 I'm a newbie too, but as I understand, if you layer a few times, it will cut over and over in same place and it will end up cutting the vinyl and the back paper too... so it does the same trick as if you're setting it to cut as a cardboard without having to reload the mat Please anyone correct me in case I'm wrong

That painter's tape weeding tip is fire!! Thank you!

Rolled flowers: Get "hair pins" which are just like bobby pins, except both ends are straight. The flowers won't wobble nearly as much when rolling them because a hair pin is closer to the actual cricut tool used for this task.

Videos are way more than helpful. They’re wonderful specially when you’re just a beginner.

Hi! Love your video! Just a little tip for your Tip # 12. Instead of having to load the vinyl in twice and making sure it’s in the right spot. In design space, Make the rectangle and the butterfly same Color. Then duplicate only the rectangle 3 or 4 times and attach the rectangles together. Then place the butterfly on top and attach everything together again. When you go to make it. The Cricut will cut the rectangle over 3 or 4 times and the butterfly only once. Making it a deep cut and a kiss cut all in one!

I love using freezer paper for templates because the shiny back can be temporarily ironed to project.. I use it quite a bit to make templates for quilting applique patterns etc.

For the scrap storage, 3 hole punch the zip envelopes and put in a binder.

Make a "weeding bin" using an empty Wet Ones brand wipe container and doggy poo bags. The lid of the container is factory made with cross hair cuts that are perfect for weeding. When the wipes are gone, pour out any remaining liquid, then wash with regular dish soap. The doggy poo bags fit inside like a super miniature trash bag and the lid snaps in place over it. When it gets full you remove the lid, tie the bag, toss it into the trash and put a new bag in.

To make wrapping the paper flowers even faster, make a cardstock circle about 2 inches in diameter first. Stick the bobby pin through the center of the cardstock circle, then insert the bobby pin into the drill. Use the cardstock circle as a kind of backstop or guide to keep the paper flower strip even as it wraps around the bobby pin.

I have a scrapbook I use to store my scraps and my regular sheets of vinyl. It already came with sleeves and it's a 12x12. Its perfect.

I just got my first cricut the beginning of December and your page has helped me so much with learning how to navigate it.

For the stencil there is a product card makers use called Pixie Spray. It’s a light tack spray that will hold your stencil in place 😊

@AndreaStevens2012

@Julie Elliott can you use Pixie with cardstock or is it too tacky? And where do you get it from? TIA!

I would love to see another one. They are definitely so useful for us newbies.

For the square around the butterfly, just duplicate it several times and the Cricut will go over the same cut several times and then you can leave it all the same color and don’t have to worry about lining it up

You just have to remove the rubber "legs" from the bottom of the machine and you can move it easily. It won't get stuck.

For the drill quilling. Take a wooden dowel, cut a slit in it, and right below wrap electrical tape around a bunch of times. Will fit better than the bobby pin, and the tape will help guide the flower

Awesome Precise and straight to the point no 👍 you didn’t waste time with nonsense info or trying to be animated. Thanks

I LOVED THIS VIDEO!! I am still learning my cricutS, yes more than one, long story. But I love making things and wished I had bought a cricut sooner. Like ten years ago!! Those hacks, esp #4, made my day!! And the pens, genius! I know they’re hacks from other ppl but the compilation here was convenient! Thanks again

Sizing squares: I use book rings are a great way to keep items like this together. They're not expensive, come in LOTS of sizes, the metal is smooth so it's less likely to rip through the cardstock, but also easy to open when you need/want to replace one of the squares.

You could spray pixie spray to the back of the stencil once you place the transfer tape on, it should stick enough to not move once placed on the item you are stenciling onto. :)

Rather than using plastic for something that isn’t solid shape, use contact paper. I know it won’t be reusable, but it’s a cheap and easy alternative and doesn’t involve using Mod Podge or a spray adhesive on the project n

I have had my cricut air2 for a week. I find these hacks informative, please continue with them.

I am blown away. Definitely want you to do another!!! I've had Cricuts since the first one "Personal"...continued to upgrade and just started using the Maker about a year ago. Your videos prove you never stop learning - out of part 1 and 2 (36 hacks) I only knew about 6 of them. Look forward to seeing more of your videos! Kudos for giving credit where credit is due.

Another way to keep the scraps for vinyl when weeding is to use toddler snack containers. I haven't seen anyone use those and they are even easier to clean out

Loved this second video as well! Favs...thought you might be able to combine 2, namely #8 and 9 I think. Love the idea of the squares to use for future reference, but what about making them from the file folders you used for the reusable stencils. Think this would make them more durable. Love all of the ideas though!

There are so many great ideas in this video! I really appreciate the one for cleaning up images to upload and the last one of using the clear vinyl zip bags for scrap cardstock/vinyl. I have been using a manila envelope. Thanks for the hack connections!

Love these hacks! Yes, I'd love to see another one in the future as well.

Happy New Year! Yes please share more these are so helpful! Thank you for sharing...

Instead of wheels to move the machine, another option could be felt pads, the type used to protect wooden floors from getting scratched by furniture.

You can use the arrows on keyboard to move the script fonts together. First ungroup, then click on each individual letter and use arrows to move letters over. That way the letters stay aligned.

Im getting a cricut for my birthday!! You give me so much inspo x

Very helpful and well presented, thank you from England x

Wow - I love those - thank you Kayla!!!

I love these!!! please make more!

I use a plastic ruler instead of a scraper. No modifications necessary and it comes handy while cricutting anyway :)

I have no clue what cricutting is, but I guess I'll watch a 23 minute video on it because it looks crafty.

That reuseable stencil idea? Last week I did EXACTLY that for a model project where I needed various geometric shapes to be randomly repeated again and again across the surface of the model, it works great! The thin plastic sticky mat covers worked perfectly for this, save them.

I just bought my Cricut Maker and they hacks are a huge time saver for me. Plus, I am learning new hacks about my cricut I never knew. Thank you....and I would love more tutorials.

When making a reusable stencil, you need to put in bridges to connect those inner pieces. You can fill those spaces in with paint after you remove the stencil.

This is the first video of yours I've seen. It is so very, very helpful and I am looking forward to seeing more. I have the Cricuit Joy since I'm new to crafting with Cricuit. Also, I have very limited mobility in my hands and cannot hold anything heavy. Thank you again for your smart hacks.

Loved this! Thank you

These hacks are wonderful! I did one for myself as a photographer. I measured my speedlights' flash head and cut from the 12x12 color gels to fit my speedlights; I now have them in all colors from the pack! I love Cricut although it took me about a month just to open the box, lol

absolutely yes do another!

This was an amazing video!! Thank you so much!!

When doing the squares, add a circle to the corner so the cricut cuts the holes for you. Also use a metal shower curtain hook that close ❤

Some great tips! I am saving this one!

Really enjoyed this video. More please, thank you ☺️
