Hey hey friends! My goal is to share the best craft tools and techniques so you can spend more time creating and less time frustrated. I specialize in Cricut machines, card making and sublimation, and I'm starting to dabble in sewing tutorials with my mom's expertise. I love questions and comments and I respond to all of them myself. I look forward to helping you with your next craft project and I'm always open to video ideas. Let's get started!

So what happens if you get the black lines all the way around but you do a print then cut and still have more white space on one side? I have had this happen. I have noticed sometimes the black line that outlines the large square might not be perfectly in the middle.
Did you mean July 31st 2024? @8:16
Yes! 🤣 Wow! 2004!!!!! Can’t believe I said that and it wasn’t caught in editing. 🫣
❤I found this very interesting. I'd love to learn how to design pretty vintage digital papers that I could sell on Etsy.
Oh we can absolutely talk about digital products for Etsy! Thanks so much for joining me!
Let me know what you want to learn to design and I'll do my best to work it into future episodes!
You can mirror images in any picture editing software. Even MS Paint lol
Good evening, I have a question. It looks like a big square outline of glue on the tattoo. Does it go away or does it stay like this?
So the tattoo does have a clear border around it, or behind it, but you can make that smaller if you make the "edge" or "outline" smaller. Thanks so much for crafting with me!
That turned out great! Do you get any press lines when using the easy press and heat mat?
Hey Nicole! When I use the right temp and pressure usually no. I also tear my paper around the edges so if there is any kind of a mark it's not a straight edge. Hope that helps and happy crafting!
Hi how do I cut it if I want it facing the outside not the inside like yours? Thanka
If you want to read it from the outside, then you would mirror image it. The packaging will help you too if you get confused before cutting. Thanks so much for crafting with me!
Why is my Bluetooth not locating my Cricut Joy ? Every time I go to make I get buffering thing I paired it renamed it several times 😢😢😢 tablet is right next to Joy
Oh that is such a bummer Cheryl! I'm so not techy myself. I would personally call Cricut. I've found their help desk to be great and they've likely had to help lots of people with these types of things. Hope you get it worked out!!
Thanks, Kim, for your great video 🌹👍
So glad it was helpful!
I put shiny side down :( i was getting so discouraged. Thank you
So glad it all came together! 🩷
I like both the foil and the pen
Thanks for crafting with me Angie! 🩷
I'm trying to make a Thank You card from Design Space. My card stock is 4 1/2 x 5 1/2.. Using the Card Mat. Design is not showing centered on the card. How do I move everything down a bit and to the right?
Terrific!!! Thank you!!👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much for crafting with me Carol! Happy card making! 🩷
I am working on a tablet I don't see all the buttons you have just want to write sentiment I already cut outside
Hey Cheryl! The apps change so often and I don't use the iPad much since I'm making tutorials. I hope you figure it out. All the same functions should be there, just in different spots. It might be worth a Google! 😀 Thanks so much for crafting with me!
Thank you for this thorough video I wanted to know what printer and ink is the best for colored tattoo?
Hey Candice! Here's what I use: ⭐ Canon Printer MG7720 - amzn.to/3rlYuib I've had it for years and it's still printing strong! Thanks so much for crafting with me. :)
Thank you for this video! I was so frustrated with my new Cricut Maker 3 but this video helped me more than anyone I’ve watched! Thank you!!
So glad it was helpful Rochelle! And thank you for the nice note. 🩷
Timestamp tip.. say name of tip
Thanks Brenda :)
It won't let me use it with out canva pro😢
Thank you SO much for this video! So hard to find without the Cricut Press 😮
So glad it was helpful Rebecca 🩷
I can't find this bundle in creative fabrica help
Hey Tonda! All of the links to the Creative Fabrica sets I used are in the description. If you're referring to the design template, here it is: www.creativefabrica.com/product/20oz-skinny-tumbler-kit-bundle/ref/1394776/ Thanks so much for crafting with me! 🩷
HI! what app did you use?
Hey Martina! If you mean for the temps, I used the Cricut temp app. You can also find it online by searching Cricut Temperature Guide. Thanks for crafting with me!
Thank you! Like many others, I was very intimidated by making a card and using the machine. Your explanation made it super easy.
Thanks so much Stacy! 🩷 Happy card making!
Thank you , I just got my circuit joy . I will be watching you.❤
Congrats on getting the Joy! And so glad to have you here! Happy card making. 🩷
What size are the tattoos? 2 x 2?
I'm not completely sure of the exact size without going back into the template (this was several years ago), but yes, I would say these are about 1.75x2 Thanks so much for crafting with me! 🩷
My machine won’t even cut. It just tells me I can’t read the lines. I’ve already collaborated it five times.
Hey Desiree! If these tricks didn't help, I would personally contact Cricut support. In my experience they are super helpful. I hope you figure it out and can get back to crafting!
Hi, great video. I was wondering if I can use a regular iron? TIA
Thank you so much for crafting with me! As for using an iron, I've never tried it. The key with puff is pressure and a consistent heat. If I tried it, I would make a test project, with no steam and as much pressure as I could apply. If you try it, let me know! 🩷
@@KimByers I tried it with an iron. I wasn’t able to get the right temperature. It was either too hot or not hot enough. In the later , the heat didn’t distribute evenly. I got some puff with some sections not sticking to the fabric.
@@sapitabonita1 I’m so sorry! I was afraid that would be exactly the case. Puff really needs that exact heat and pressure. 🥺😩
I heard on multiple other channels that vinyl is not food safe so you probably shouldn’t put it on plates you are eating from.
That is a great point Sue! I better stick to the outside of platters and mugs. Thanks for sharing and for crafting with me! 🩷
What is the weight of the paper you use for actual cardstock(I mean the paper that you use for the actual card)
I use 80lb typically, but I have used 60lb and 100lb. It depends on what I can find. Thanks so much for crafting with me and happy card making!
I really love how those mugs turned out! I can't even imagine paying those prices for any of those items knowing that I can make them myself so much cheaper! I have the Joy and the Maker and I would definitely say they are very much worth the expense. I have been able to make cards, paper crafts and holiday decorations with them and have had so much fun doing it. I am so glad I bought them! And thanks for that tip about the hole in the bottom of the tube!
Thanks so much for crafting with me Lisa! I agree, not only can you make lovely things, but have a ton of fun doing it. 🩷 Happy Memorial Day weekend! 🇺🇸
Hi Kim! I love the way you think! “Perfection is overrated” is so true!! And I agree, my Cricut is absolutely worth it!! I’m a #1 type of crafter, and the more I use my Cricut the more I love it. Im always on the lookout for potential “canvases” (mugs, plates, signs) from the discount bins or garage sales, estate sales etc. I think I love the finished items even more when they’ve been upcycled or made on the “cheap”! Thanks for yet another fun and inspirational video!
I completely agree! Finding "cheap" or "cheaper" blanks make me giddy. :) Hobby Lobby has tons and tons of blanks and I wait for the cyclical sales. Thanks so much for crafting with me! 🩷
I'm definitely a #1 and I love it! These are so cute. My birthday is July 3 so I love everything Americana for that reason, too. Thanks for inspiring me to make some things this year. ❤
So glad you liked the crafts MagooMagee! I have a few more Americana in mind so you may see more soon. Thank you so much for crafting with me. 🩷
Crafting, I make cards and items for the people I love and people that do me a favor, like the women who takes care of my cat(Luna) when I away
Cards are so much fun and I too make a ton of them. Make sure you check out my recent card making series. We're on Episode 6. 🩷

@@KimByers I already follow those
Kim, you are the best teacher out there. Believe me, I've watched 100s of others. Keep up the great work!
Oh, thank you! You are too kind and I so appreciate the sweet words. So glad this video helped! 🩷Have you seen my new card making series? We're on Episode 6: kzread.info/head/PLYJAbsWmbUWZPbhDp-RMRDaRVfZScaYct
Great tutorial, thank you! I have been looking and looking for a video to show me how to change the landscape of the image. If I want to do it horizontally, is there a way to do that? It shows horizontal in Design Space, but when you go to create it, it goes back to vertical. I can’t figure it out!
I love mine, I agree with you thought, I wish the drawer would pull out further. I make size 4-5XL t-shirt for my ASD son and family members, I find that it is not suitable for that :(
Hey Lynda! Yes, the drawer is my only grouch about it. 🤣 Thanks so much for crafting with me and happy shirt making for your son and family!
How do you move the template like that?
Hey Krystal! Move the template? Do you mean the photos inside the template? Thanks for crafting with me!
Love your invitation card, super cute. I usually double my score lines i.e. one on top of the other so it does a double score and find that it really helps. Thanks Kim and have a beautiful day xx
That is a great idea Mandy! I will absolutely do that going forward. Happy card making! 🩷
Will this work for sublimation also?
Does the normal cricut markers work with my cricut joy xtra
If I am using a Joy for a shirt name, do I have to turn it vertical or does the software do that when I select joy? And what is a good WxH?
Thanks for sharing! I got a heat press but no cricket or sublimation printer, this method will save me several hundred dollars!
How beautiful the card turned out 🍉 thanks for sharing 😊 I hope your Mother’s Day was a great one. Stay blessed love 🥰
Thanks so much Johany! I hope yours was wonderful too! 💕
Such a colorful fun card. I love it ❤
Thanks so much for crafting with me, Stephanie! 💕
That is such a fun and very cute card!
Thanks so much for crafting with me, Lisa! 💕
Can you use the adhesive backed cards with explorer if you use a mat?😊
Hey Whitney! Are you referring to the cutaway cards? If so, yes! I have a video on cutaways: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIOklpusmbWqlps.html They work on all the machines. Thanks so much for crafting with me!
Another disagree about epson you have to flip as new soft does that in settings
At the making of this video the new options weren't available. Glad to see they are now!
hi there, I have to weed out everything when I make a card with the cricut joy, do you perhaps have any idea why?
Hey Candice! When my card mat is new to new-ish it's sticky enough to pull all the small elements out. Maybe it's time for a new card mat? Thanks so much for crafting along with me. Happy card making! 🩷
I’m new to making Appliqués , I need to make one with my grandsons name for a blanket
I hope it turned out great Laurie! Thanks for crafting with me!
