  • There are many tools you can get for Cricut crafting, but you do NOT need all of them. In fact, I think there are just seven essential tools that all Cricut crafters should have for getting the best cuts and beautiful results! So let's go over each one, along with some hacks for what you can do if you don't have that tool yet or can't find yours for whatever reason! Stay tuned to the end, when I'll share the tool I think is the MOST useful.
    WHERE TO GET THE TOOLS (contains my affiliate links):
    * Brayer - amzn.to/3sVaHsv
    * Scraper - amzn.to/3ypKao6
    * Spatula - amzn.to/3ypKao6
    * Weeding Tool (optional) - amzn.to/3uxUqKP
    * Scoring Stylus (optional) - amzn.to/3MnuIA9
    * Single Scoring Wheel (optional, works on Maker machines only) - amzn.to/3aZpBHX
    The pattern for the paper snowman shown in this video is free -- it's design #456 in my free resource library at jennifermaker....

    Jennifer, it is always exciting to conquer or overcome a fear. I am so glad that you overcame your fear of being in front of a camera. You are so talented and beautiful. Think of all we would have missed if you had let that fear Overtake you! So glad you are so generous and loving. Thank you! ~~kay~~

    Instead of duplicating the lines individually after you have two of the where you want them duplicate those making 4 then duplicate those making 8 and so on. You could start by doing it in groups of 3 or whatever. It saves a little bit of time.

      Here is the cutting guide from Cricut. Doing a test cut first and choosing more pressure will help for a cleaner cut. help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360009504773-Which-materials-can-I-cut-with-my-Cricut-Explore-and-Cricut-Maker-machine-#explore-air-2

    Hi Jennifer, you shared another inspired project this evening thank you so much. Quick question.... at around 19.57 my eye fell on a beautiful light up heart cottage, so I tracked it down and downloaded it and plan to make it once I unbox my maker 3. It uses perforated lines but I would like to use score lines instead. Is this possible? ie : is it changeable in Design Space? If so, how?.....

    • @JenniferMaker
      @JenniferMaker  Год назад

      Sometimes I make 2 svg files. One for perforated and 1 with score lines. In Design Space score lines need to be changed from cut to score and attached so the perforated svg is a simpler choice.
