Thanks for the helpful info. You're a good teacher. The sticky matt seems pretty essential, it's strange that it doesn't come with the Cricut Joy. I just picked mine up yesterday and am looking forward to creating some cool stuff :)
Hi. I’m not sure if you found out the difference in the permanent and removable vinyls. I’m sure you did but in case you didn’t, one you can put on your window for example and remove and reposition it. The other is for permanent decals as you know. I hope this helps the watchers too :)
Thank goodness for people blessed with the talent to teach! I just spent a very frustrating hour trying to figure out how to use my Cricut Joy. I should've watched this video first! Thank-YOU!
Awwww thank you so much Karen!! Trust me it’s a learning curve and be patient as you learn!! Check out our channel and let me know if you have any questions!! We are also on Instagram 🥰 @sweet_country_glam 🤍
This has been super helpful! This machine seemed super intimidating, I have had it for two years and have not had the patience to try it out! Thank you for teaching me how to use my cricut joy!
Oh that makes my day my sweet friend!! I am so excited for you to make some awesome crafts with your Joy! I’m so glad my tutorial helped you. Enjoy and be sure to check out the Creative Fabrica subscription. It is definitely a much better deal than any cricut design space subscription. Check out the awesome deal with have going on. www.creativefabrica.com/ref/476735/ 🤩💕
First off.....You absolutely chose the right profession. Teaching is what you should ALWAYS do. I have wanted one of these Cricket Joy's for a few weeks now, but at 65 yrs old, I was a little intimidated to be absolutely honest. Why I am intimidated is anyone's guess. I'm pretty computer savvy, I taught myself out to create Blog Headers years ago, etc. I have made my daughter's and my own clothing for more than 40 yrs as well. So, I really can't tell you WHY I was so worried about getting one of these Cricket Joys....but your wonderful video tutorial changed that it just a few minutes!!! (BTW I found out that my iPhone 6s is compatible with the Cricket Joy too! :) Thank you so, so much....You've gained a subscriber for as long as you are going to be a RUclips, that's a promise! Thanks so much this video...... Lastly Thanks SO much for being a teacher. I can imagine that you are a beloved teacher by all of your students. Parents should be overjoyed and proud that their children are in your classroom too. (Here's hoping the kids can go back to school soon!) Again, thanks so much....you made this seem so easy. Now the hardest part??? Convincing my hubby that I need another "craft" item! LOL!!!
Awwww @Holiday2406 you absolutely the sweetest!!🤗🤗🤗 you are most welcome and I am so glad you have the encouragement to move forward with your Cricut Joy adventures. You will love it🤗. Thank you so much!! I have loved teaching every year I have add the honor to teach our precious little ones. I am so grateful and honored to have you as a subscriber💕!! Thank you for supporting our small business!! Have a blessed day my friend! 🌻
Awww Goodness Love thank you so much!! I appreciate you watching and supporting SCG🤗🌻. I appreciate your honest feedback!! Have a blessed day my friend!
Thank you so much !! I have a Cricut Joy for 2 years and never used until I saw your video and guess what !? I made a label !!!!!! this is huge for me ! thank you
You are a great teacher! You made it easy to understand how to use this equipment, because you explained it so well. I will purchase this one for my diy projects. Thank you!
It's not hard to tell you are a Teacher! your tutorial is by far the best one I have seen on the Joy machine! I was ready to pack it up and return it! Thank you so much for your easy-to-follow instructions! Now I just need help with how to size images in a way I can understand !
I am so glad you found value in my tutorial! That makes my day☀️🎉🤓. I will see if I can get a short video out soon on how to resize and match it to your mat so you can get correct sizing from screen to vinyl;).
Oh I am so glad to hear that Nora!! That made my day. Enjoy your Cricut Joy my sweet friend!! I have tons of Cricut Joy tutorials to give you some creating inspiration 🥳🤩
I will be honest and admit that I wasn’t sure I was going to take the time to watch your entire video before I pressed “play”… but thank God I did!! My teacher brain (taught 18 years before having to retire due to health reasons) enjoyed your talented teacher brain. Thank you for taking advantage of every second to teach, share and enjoy the process right with us!! Love! Love!! LOVE!!!
Awww Stacey you absolutely made my day my friend. I am so glad you enjoyed the video and all I had to share and teach. 💕Enjoy your crafting adventures.
From one teacher to another you are an amazing educator! You explained and modeled everything flawlessly. To be honest, I have been buying vinyl essential oil labels from crafters on Etsy, but it gets pretty expensive and then there's the long wait times. Well NO MORE! :-) Something I am unsure about is which Cricut is best for a newbie crafter? If you buy a cricut does that mean you can pay as you go for supplies or are you obligated to purchase a monthly subscription? Do cricut machines only work with their own supplies or can you mix and match vinyl sheets from other companies? What's the deal with the pens? Do you need different pens for different fonts? (sorry for so many questions, but I want to be an informed buyer :-) Thanks!
Jessica I am so sorry for some reason my message wasn’t completely sent!! My apologies!! I would definitely say that an Air2 would be the machine for you and what you want to make. The vinyl is a pain trying to find what’s best and how to use it and I’ve looked for 3 years trust me it’s a process. You have to find what works for you and JDC vinyl is amazing !! The best in the US! I have to say creative fabrica is the best for a subscription as Cricut access is super limited and you have to pay additional for other images and fonts. You don’t get the commercial license either so you can sell them or start a small biz if you wanted. ➡️www.creativefabrica.com/ref/476735/ 📌Creative Fabrica gives you commercial license to use your images and fonts for your small business use!!! USE code SWEETCOUNTRYGLAM30 to get 35 percent off a subscription to the site with full access!!! It is reoccurring for as long as you want the subscription access. I hope this is helpful and giving you direction! 😍🙋♀️Teacherlife!! Have a wonderful day my sweet friend!!♥️
@@SolHarmonyHolistics Thanks so much for your time and thoughtful response. I received my cricut air 2 just yesterday but was wondering what to do next! You truly are a wonder!! Thanks again! :-)
I didn’t know a thing about cricut. So decided to watch some RUclips videos first. Yours was the first to come up. I told hubby I might have a Christmas gift idea for me. So I’m exploring it first, and then there’s the model to decide on too. Just wish I had one now to decorate for Christmas. Thanks for explaining it , I have a lot to learn, hope this 60 year old brain is up to it.
You mentioned the different sizes for pens etc. I just got my JOY and also ordered these little things that go on the regular circut pens and it makes them fit in the JOY. They weren't expensive. Haven't used them yet so fingers crossed!!!!
I am so glad I came across your video. I just got my joy yesterday and I am so excited to know how to use it now. I subscribe to your channel and look forward to watching other videos of yours
@Rachel Cain!! 💛🤗 yay!! I’m so glad Rachel and welcome to the SCG crew. Have a blast with your Joy and keep ya posted on your awesome projects 🙌. We are all learning and being creative together. Have a blessed day!!🌻
I’m picking up my cricut joy today and your tutorial has BEEN THE BEST ONE EVER! I suscribed and I love how you reply to everyone’s questions even weeks later. ❤️ i will definitely Come to you for questions lol If you don’t mind
Awww Leslie 🤗thank you so much for your sweet words!! So excited you get your Joy today!!! Woo hoo🌻. Of course my friend. Let me know what questions you have. Have a blessed day🤩☀️.
Hi! I just got my cricut joy! I'm so excited and cant wait to do some DIY'S. I just cant figure out where and how to get fonts. Can you please help me? I have an android phone I'm using. Thank.you
Yay!! Juanita I am so excited for you to get started. You can use the link below to walk you through the steps on how to download fonts to your phone 🤗. Let me know if it works and if you have any other questions. Have a blessed day my friend 🌻🤗 www.creativefabrica.com/the-ultimate-font-guide/how-to-install-fonts-on-android/
Hi, can you get two designs on that small sheet if you divide the images? Can you use an image that was found online or any other logo not from the cricut joy ? Or you can’t use any images just what’s made for the cricut joy packets.. thanks
Yes ma’am, @Bonnie Lee you can move the item to fit the size you want. You of course would have to adjust the sizes as needed. You can of course add another design from design space that is already uploaded or an image that you’ve purchased👏🤗🌻. If the image is to big for a Joy cut, it will prompt you to make it smaller 🙌. I hope this helps my friend 🤗. Have a blessed day!
You are lovely. Great instructions, your 5th graders are fortunate to be taught by you. Your baby is adorable. Thank you for all of this helpful information.
What an awesome piece of equipment. I have a very old Cricut Machine that is just too awkward for me so I will put the Cricut Joy on my wish list. I have a very small work area so it would really work great for me. Thanks so much for enlightening me. Blessings from Canada!
Hey Joanne, as soon as Cricut sends us another coupon, I will send you the link. We always put the newest and best deals in our links in all our videos 💕🌻. Have a wonderful weekend.
@@SolHarmonyHolistics thanks! my dil works at target and I can get 15% there too. I don't know if I can do both, but thanks so much! I have not tried one before, but I'm watching all the tutorials and I am intrigued. I can see using it for cute coffee mugs and my quilting and making tshirts. I am a devout crafter and always have been! Always good to learn something new. Anyway, I will look forward to seeing more of your videos.
What a great idea Marissa! Just be sure to note that really intricate cuts on small pieces may not come out as clear. Also, it depends on what vinyl or material you are cutting. I think you can definitely give it a try. I have cut random pieces and little bits have got on my nails and the smart vinyl sticks great to them.🤩I’ll have to try this out as well my friend. Let’s keep each other posted. 🌻👍have a blessed day!!
Great video!😀 For years I have been dreaming about buying a digital cutting machine. But I don't know which one to buy. I think this Joy might be ideal. A bit worried about the waste involved when using the cutting mode though. Is it possible to cut the vinyl to size before the cutting and then use the off cut for another time?
Hello. Thanks for the info! I just got my Cricut today. Do you have a video for beginners on how to pick your font and adding other things as well at the same time? I have to make a heat transfer decal with the name, “King,” but I need a small crown where the i goes. Would I need transfer paper to put it on dog bandanas?
Hello Eva, check out my cricut for beginners playlist on my channel and check out this video for fonts ☺️HOW TO UPLOAD FONTS TO CRICUT DESIGN SPACE | WHAT IS AN OTF FILE vs TTF FILE ? LESSON 4 ruclips.net/video/5dmki_n8JWU/видео.html Let me know if you need any further help. ☺️
How can I cut my own images, I paint shoes and want to make stencils to help me paint things but I’ve only seen people use the images Cricut already has
Kylee, you can purchase any images that are an accepted file for design space. Cricut sells stencil sheets that you can cut and then use for your shoe projects. You can even create your own images using adobe illustrator. However, that does cost money. You can always reach out to svg creators on Etsy and they might be willing to work with you in creating a file that you can promote and tell others about their site. These are just a few tips. Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day my friend 🌻🇺🇸🤗.
kylee Renee I think it needs to be in a png file, you’d have to digitally erase the parts of the drawing that you don’t want and save as a png transparent picture
Yes Megan, this would be a great little machine to begin with. 🤗🤩 Just be ready to get the Air 2 or Maker when you are comfortable to extend on your crafting adventures 🤩. Have a wonderful day my friend!!!
I'm based in the UK and the joy is currently on a very good sale price. Is it good for cutting quite small text on garment vinyl say 1/4" and also flock vinyl for garments? Does it give a nice 90 degree angle when cutting rectangles? Also do you have to use a mat when cutting garment vinyl? I hope you can help. Many thanks in advance for any reply.
Wow, you’ve helped me make my mind up on asking Father Christmas for a Joy. It looks amazing and easy too use. I just want it for card making, but mainly for doing my own sentiments on cards. I currently have CM300 Scan & Cut but I don’t have the pen system and basically I’ve had the machine 3 years and only just getting the hang of cutting my stamp images. The Circut Joy looks just what I need, can’t wait to watch more of your videos. Also all the cups, plates, knives forks are having names put on them, then I know who’s not washed there pots haha gonna have some fun when I get one xxxx
Aww Vanessa!! I’m so happy this video helped!! I’m excited for you to get the Joy🥰you will love it!! Thank you for watching SCGLAM 💕🤗have a beautiful evening my sweet friend.
@@SolHarmonyHolistics I’ve also just sent your video too my daughter she’s just turned 21 and is always it hi g to be crafty m making something but not into card making. So I’ve show her your video as I know for a fact she’ll be doing all personalised top for her Son who’s going too be 1 on 3rd December. I’ve already asked for a personalised Coffee Mug with Best Nannie and his little hand print, again that’s because I’d just watched a previous video where you personalised a cup xxx great ideas, really gonna be watching all ya previous videos. N if I do get a JOY I’ll let you know lol xxx I’m In UK or I would have gone through your affiliation link xxx
🤗thank you so much for sharing our videos that means so much to me!! I’m so glad these videos will help you continue your Cricut crafting journey!! I’m sure you daughter will have a blast creating cards. They are so much fun. Have a beautiful day!! Keep me posted I am excited for you to get a Joy 💕🤗
Absolutely you can buy whatever vinyl you like. It all varies how it cuts so just be mindful to adjust your pressure as needed. You’ll find what works best with each brand after you use it a few times.
Great tutorial! I always wanted a cricut machine but i was so intimidated. This one makes it look so much easier! Would you say purchasing the tools and extras are necessary when you first get the machine?
They are not a necessary but do help make your projects easier. You will need your materials. Everyday I search for the best quality at an affordable cost and I create links leading straight to them in the description. 3 days ago I had a 50% off coupon that was good for 1 day. These come and go fast for the great deals. Right now Cricut has bundle deals. They cost more but you get more for your money. Hope this helps!
I am glad I came upon your video, I just got my Joy and had a hard time getting it to pair with my blue tooth and could not get it to work on my laptop, so I need to get myself a smaller laptop that will be more compatible with the smart vinal, and yes, it does weed so much easier.
Thank you ! I'm (fingers crossed) getting my first cricut tomorrow and I've been looking at the app and not sure on some things. This tutorial really helped !
Thank you for the demonstration and talking about everything as you were going through every step. Do you give a lesson on how to do iron ons? Thanks for sharing.
Aww I am so glad you found value in the video :) I have a link for you to check out one of the many videos where I use HTV vinyl :) * AMAZING * CRICUT IRON-ON T-Shirt Tutorial For Beginners / JDC Unicorn Metallic and 3D Puff HTV ruclips.net/video/oreDI1oLveo/видео.html
Sherry 😁you can get that svg “Pray about it” from Design Bundles in our links and the Dr. Suess quote is from NewMody.com. Both links are in the description for you 💕🌻.
Thank you so much 🤩I am so glad you found value in this video. You absolutely can use any device with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities to link to any cricut machine. I use my laptop, desktop, iPhone and iPad. ☀️🙂
You will love crafting with the Joy , Amanda. 🌻Just be aware you’ll want to get a Maker or Explorer down there road. There is so much to make and create ☀️🌻. Thank you watching my sweet friend!!
Sweet Country Glam well I can try to see which one I wanna get my hands on eventually. If anything I want the purple air explorer 2 bc I love that color. But the joy is so cute. I think it would make the perfect starter for me.
@@ReshiramMage1992 It is a prefect starter machine for ya. :) You will like that you can travel with it if needed and if you want to make money and sell at craft fairs. :) Have fun and let me know how your Joy crafting adventures are going. :)
Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial!! I'm new to Cricut and was reluctant to buy one as it seemed complex to use but, I'm feeling much more confident after watching your video and am going to purchase the Joy. Thanks! 😀
Aww that makes my day Prue!! I am so excited for you to see all that the Cricut Joy can do. Enjoy your creative journey!! Check out my other Cricut Joy tutorials for more inspiration and subscribe to my channel for more Cricut content 😍. Have a wonderful day!
Thx. I am new to Cricut. Thought I’d start small. If I take off with it I’ll get the maker. But you’ve helped me understand what the Joy does. I’ll watch the rest of your videos.
By showing me that you CAN use your phone to make images Not just a computer. ( I dont have an updated one) You have helped me decide that I would go ahead and purchase one. Im very crafty and feel like this would help enhance my creations even more. As a beginner Does anyone recommend a specific one? The Joy looks like ot would do exactly what im looking for!
I am so glad this helped! The only thing I would decide now is if you want to print cut images? Then you need a larger machine - the cricut joy doesn’t have a print option. Just fyi :)
Thank you for the box opening, and tutorial! I just received mine in the mail today. This video made me really excited about using it, and also confirm that I made a great purchase! 😊
OMG you made it look so easy, I just got my Cricutjoy yesterday and I'm So ready to make stuff, also will you make a tutorial of how to use two colors of smart vinyl on one project if that's really a thing Thanks so much
I’m so glad my friend !! Yay!! I use various types of vinyl and as long as you have some Cricut Joy transfer tape you can use as many colors as you like. Were you planing on do a layered design?
Awww Mary Lou thank you soooo much! That means a lot to me!! I am glad you liked it and approve😁💕. That is our goal and mission🌻. I hope you subscribed to our SCG crew 👍🌻.
Awww 💛I know times sure have changed. I didn’t have many cool things in my classes that I remember either. I wish I was in my classroom right now Julie. I really am missing my kiddos and this online teaching just isn’t the same :(. Thank you for watching 🤓🌻have a blessed day!!
I'm thinking of asking for one of these for my birthday next month. Thank you so much for the very detailed instruction! I have a question though... when you transfer the vinyl onto, let's say, a coffee mug... how well does it stay on through washing? Will it eventually peel off through normal dish washing? Can it be washed in the dishwasher? Is it microwave safe?
I will be getting my Joy in a few days so some of it seems easy but I still have questions. I will have to take my time and learn as I go. I have no doubt I will love working with it but right now, not sure I understand it all. Will be watching more videos.
Woo hoo my friend I am excited for you to begin your cricut joy adventures. It definitely does take time to get use to all the basic functions, but just keep trying and practicing each day and it will get easier. Before ya know it you will be a pro 🧡. I have many tutorials on how to make various items with your circuit joy. Let me know if you have any questions.
🌺Aloha! This is exactly what I was looking for. I've always wanted a cricut and this helps as a newbie to start! Great video! I'm excited now, think I'm gonna get one and the goodies! Take care and have a blesssd day as well 🌺🤙🌈🌞🌴🌊
@genalei808 that makes me super happy to hear 😛🌟🌺🌴. I’m so glad you are getting on!! Check out our Cricut link in the description and snag some great bundle deals 🙌💛👏. Have a blessed day my friend!!!
The joy as stated is only able to width wise about 4.5in in height but can cut a banner up to 48in long. You will need smart vinyl for that long of a cut. This joy does connect to a printer😓. You will have to buy the new xtra joy that can connect to printers.
It reads good on glass. Sometimes it’s nice to give it an offset border in a different color. Like silver vinyl with a white or black offset vinyl underneath. Borders always look nice 👍🏻
Hello Gail, as long as you don’t scrub it and hand wash it with warm soapy water. If you want it to be dishwasher safe you would have to consider a clear coat of epoxy 🤓😊. Have a beautiful day.
I feel like a lil kid waiting for their present I just asked my husband for a circut joy! I wanna use this to decorate for my daughter’s first birthday!!!
Hello friend I am sorry for the delay. You do not need transfer tape for HTV heat transfer items. You only use transfer tape to remove the sticker vinyl images off the sticker backing and add it to your item of choice I.e a bottle, mug, key chain, book etc. I hope this helps. 💕
Thanks for this turtorial. I was thinking of purchasing the Cricut Joy but not sure how difficult it would be to work it. After viewing this, I will purchase it. Looks like fun ! One question, how well will the vinyl hold in the dishwasher ?
Oh In So glad Lorraine!! You’ll love it. The permanent vinyl I hand wash. If you want it to be safe for dishwasher I would recommend putting a layer of epoxy over it. 🤩👍👍
Thank you for this tutorial, it really helped as I unboxed and tried in out. My problem is getting the font small enough. I was able to get it down to a tiny bit over 2 inches but I still need it even smaller. Is there a way to make it even smaller?
Hello my sweet friend you can make your font smaller or you can click on the text it’s self (on those arrows going opposite directions) and make the box smaller and that will make the text smaller. 😁I hope that helps.
Thanks so much for this tutorial using your phone. I do have a question. How do I download fonts on my phone and use them within the app.? I can’t seem to figure it out.
Hey Courtney!! Thank you so much for watching🌻🤗. I did find this helpful for downloading fonts to an iPhone. Not sure if that’s what you have. Let me know if you were able to use these steps and download fonts successfully. 🤩 * some of these apps may cost a small amount. Just research which is best for your project needs 🤗 👍Installing your fonts in iOS In AnyFont, tap your font file. Tap the Aa icon. Tap Install on the upper right corner. Tap Next on the upper right corner. You will then receive a 'consent' message telling you that this configuration profile will install this font. Tap Next. Tap Install again. Tap Done and you're finished. Have a great day my friend!!🌻
Hey Phyllis, You can cut iron on vinyl/HTV with the Joy. It is however limited to the width on come svgs files. So you will have to make a smaller cut or change your image. If you enjoy the Joy and want to expand your crafting boundaries- definitely look in an Explorer Air or Maker. 🤗🌻Thank you for watching SCG. Have a blessed day my friend. Also, don’t forget to check for links for an Easy Press. You will definitely need that to iron on your cuts. 🤩🙌
Oh I am so glad my sweet friend. You can make drawn or cut names out of sticker vinyl for keychains. You can’t print with the Joy. I hope they fix that soon. You would have to invest in the Maker or Air for you to have it print to a printer and then Your machine cut them out. 😊🤩
Hi! Great video. But you mention an SVG and i don’t know what that is nor do I know how to get it loaded. I have downloaded fonts onto my phone but I do not know how to get the cricut to discover the fonts. Can you explain how to do that for me? Thanks in advance for your help
Hey Laura A, some fonts do not download to a phone device properly as they do on a computer. I attempted it a few times and the ttf. File doesn’t show up on my IOS device and therefore it will not populate into Design Space. It will show up if you download the font on a computer and insert/save it to the fonts on your computer. Then open Design Space and it will populate under the tab System. Be sure to write now the names of the fonts you like best so you can search them quickly. An svg is similar to a font in downloading. Once you save the svg. I save them in a folder on my desktop to find it quicker. One you are in upload on Design Space you can drag and drop the svg to the center and it will add the image. Name and save it. Then click on the uploaded image and click insert in the bottom right hand corner. View your canvas and it should be waiting for you 🤗😁. Let me know if I can help with anything else. I hope this clarifies your questions . Have a blessed day!! 🇺🇸🌻😁
Sweet Country Glam thanks for the assistance. That was very helpful. I, like some of the other commenters, can’t use my laptop as its too outdated. I’ll have to use my phone. So, I downloaded a font from Etsy and the seller explained how to get it loaded but I am still having trouble. It appears to be an svg but when I go to upload, browse image, then click on the file and go to insert, it shows a picture in the space of the font not the font itself. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Once again, I appreciate any help you can give me. My sister sent me your video (after I’d already watched it) and said “SHE’LL have the answers!” No pressure!
Awww Laura!! Thank you!! Let me look into this further and see if I can figure this out. What kind of phone are you using? We will learn and figure this out together 🤗🌻🇺🇸👏
Okay so Laura I tried a svg on my iPhone 11 Pro. It added no issue to Cricut design space. I am wondering if fonts aren’t an acceptable upload. I will look into this further and see if their is a way to save it to your iCloud and upload it. I just know a computer had a font folder and that’s what carries over to Design Space. I am wondering if the phone doesn’t have a font folder that transfers those fonts over. 🤓🧐
I just got one for $10 since it was a return and none of the other items were inside.. so since I’m just learning I just bought a few items on discount. I’m just grateful it works lol
This really helped me understand how to use my cricut joy thank you! Also do you have the link for the free font and does the subscription service in your description charge a monthly or yearly fee? Thanks x
@@chloek9862 Hey my friend that was 4 years ago but do not worry, I will send you to where you can get tons of great fonts and save tons of money. Don't buy off cricut. Check out Creative Fabrica for all your fonts, pngs and svgs. :) www.creativefabrica.com/subscription/ref/476735/
Thank you my sweet friend !! 😍 The permanent vinyl can be hand washed but if you want to really make it waterproof you need to put epoxy or a clear acrylic sealer on it. 😎🙂
Hi this video is very helpful. I've always wanted a cricut since I was a little girl and I want this one because it is smaller and compact. Looks so much fun to use and craft with. I had a teacher who I helped make Christmas cards. She had a big cricut. I helped with putting stuff on the cards. The cards me and my classmates help make the money for a pack of cards went to my special Ed class.
Thank you so much my sweet friend for sharing! I loved hearing how you helped your teacher make cards this past year for your classmate. You are so sweet! Happy Crafting 💕
Sheastmode, it’s honestly up to you. If you travel or like to partake in craft fairs then I would say go for it!! However, you have an Air!! You’re honestly set 🤗. Again, I do like the Joy for how quick it is to make personalized cards with the blue card insert mat. It’s a few less steps and a quicker process then making it on the bigger machines. That’s just my honest opinion 😊. Have a blessed day my friend. Thank you for watching.
I m planning to buy one. My question is do I need to buy templet for every project? You told about bundle but cant get it anf dont find those in links either. The transcript is too funny lol. So I want to know how much are the fonts and stuff and where to buy them? Just cricut or you canbuy somewhere else and add it. Thank you
Sorry about the links not working. Some of them don’t always work and so I would advise checking out Creative Fabrica. You don’t need to buy templates unless you click on them from the cricut design space platform. When you have a subscription with creative fabrica you get unlimited access to all graphics fonts and more. You download what you like and upload them to cricut design space. You can check out this video to show you that process- ruclips.net/video/D58sajC6ojI/видео.html Click this link and use code sweetcountryglam30 for a reoccurring discount on your monthly subscription for as long as you want it. What’s great is once you download the items they are yours to reuse. 🙋♀️ www.creativefabrica.com/subscription/ref/476735/
I dont have a computer I only have my phone ang and I'm a big planner girl Lol ,so I'm trying to use it for my planner stickers, I use a lot of kits from etsy's and they print fine from my phone but I have to hand cut everything which is very time consuming so really want a cutting machine but didn't know whether a silhouette or cricut would be best, do all the cricuts work from android's without the need for a computer or just this one? And if the kit I get on etsy's has silhouette cut files with it but not cricut files will I be able to make the cut lines myself or something?
Hey Amber, you can use your cell phone for Cricut Design Space. You mentioned labels and honestly the Joy would be prefect for those smaller projects you mentioned. That would cut out the time consuming parts. Yes, any svg files you purchase are compatible. The only error I have seen is when you simply have to make the image smaller for the Cricut machine of your choice to cut it. Just make sure your linetype is on cut. Check out our link to a discount on a Cricut machine. They have great deals going on. Let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help clarify anything further. Have a blessed evening!! 🤗🇺🇸🌻
This is the riot joy vinyl as it comes on a special paper that does need to be on mat. They also came out with smart vinyl which is very similar. These are not for clothing. You will need to buy HTV heat transfer vinyl for clothing :) and a heat press machine' .
You sure can Lillian. Your designs are a bit smaller but it’s definitely doable. I use it for my iron on glitter earrings. 🤗🌻Have a beautiful evening!!
Super informative. I kind of felt like in the beginning I was trying to be sold on the Joy, but I already have one that’s why I came to you. But you do a wonderful job explaining. 💕 thank you!
Thank you Megan. It wasn’t to sell anyone but to share the unboxing and all the features the joy offers. I have really enjoyed using my joy on various projects the last almost 3 years. Enjoy and thank you for watching☺️
Thank you for sharing how the Cricut Joy works. I can't wait to go and explore all the amazing things to create using it, you explained things so well and it was simple and easy to follow. I look forward to watching more of your videos. 🤗🤎🤗
Thanks for the helpful info. You're a good teacher. The sticky matt seems pretty essential, it's strange that it doesn't come with the Cricut Joy. I just picked mine up yesterday and am looking forward to creating some cool stuff :)
Awwww thank you my sweet friend!! I am so glad to hear that and you made my day with the super thanks 💕💕💕💕
@@SolHarmonyHolistics you're welcome :)
An excellent teacher, the best I've found on RUclips
great tutorial
I ask you something
Hi. I’m not sure if you found out the difference in the permanent and removable vinyls. I’m sure you did but in case you didn’t, one you can put on your window for example and remove and reposition it. The other is for permanent decals as you know. I hope this helps the watchers too :)
Thank you for clarifying! So helpful!
God Bless! 🙏🏻😇
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us that... You're Precious.
Thank you for this...I was actually curious of the difference
oooh that makes sense. so you can do like seasonal designs as well. so like if i want to take down my Christmas snowflakes or put up Easter stuff
Thank goodness for people blessed with the talent to teach! I just spent a very frustrating hour trying to figure out how to use my Cricut Joy. I should've watched this video first! Thank-YOU!
Awwww thank you so much Karen!! Trust me it’s a learning curve and be patient as you learn!! Check out our channel and let me know if you have any questions!! We are also on Instagram 🥰 @sweet_country_glam 🤍
This has been super helpful! This machine seemed super intimidating, I have had it for two years and have not had the patience to try it out! Thank you for teaching me how to use my cricut joy!
Oh that makes my day my sweet friend!! I am so excited for you to make some awesome crafts with your Joy!
I’m so glad my tutorial helped you. Enjoy and be sure to check out the Creative Fabrica subscription. It is definitely a much better deal than any cricut design space subscription.

First off.....You absolutely chose the right profession. Teaching is what you should ALWAYS do.
I have wanted one of these Cricket Joy's for a few weeks now, but at 65 yrs old, I was a little intimidated to be absolutely honest. Why I am intimidated is anyone's guess. I'm pretty computer savvy, I taught myself out to create Blog Headers years ago, etc. I have made my daughter's and my own clothing for more than 40 yrs as well. So, I really can't tell you WHY I was so worried about getting one of these Cricket Joys....but your wonderful video tutorial changed that it just a few minutes!!! (BTW I found out that my iPhone 6s is compatible with the Cricket Joy too! :)
Thank you so, so much....You've gained a subscriber for as long as you are going to be a RUclips, that's a promise!
Thanks so much this video......
Lastly Thanks SO much for being a teacher. I can imagine that you are a beloved teacher by all of your students. Parents should be overjoyed and proud that their children are in your classroom too. (Here's hoping the kids can go back to school soon!)
Again, thanks so much....you made this seem so easy. Now the hardest part???
Convincing my hubby that I need another "craft" item! LOL!!!
Awwww @Holiday2406 you absolutely the sweetest!!🤗🤗🤗 you are most welcome and I am so glad you have the encouragement to move forward with your Cricut Joy adventures. You will love it🤗.
Thank you so much!! I have loved teaching every year I have add the honor to teach our precious little ones.
I am so grateful and honored to have you as a subscriber💕!! Thank you for supporting our small business!! Have a blessed day my friend! 🌻
I've watched several tutorials for this and yours is the BEST!!!!!!! You go step by step instead of just showing us the stuff you already made.
Awww Goodness Love thank you so much!! I appreciate you watching and supporting SCG🤗🌻. I appreciate your honest feedback!! Have a blessed day my friend!
How do you bluetooth to Galaxy A80
Thank you so much !! I have a Cricut Joy for 2 years and never used until I saw your video and guess what !? I made a label !!!!!! this is huge for me ! thank you
Awww Joanne I am so glad you got creative with the JOy!! Woo hoo. The crafting possibilities are endless 💕💕💕
@@SolHarmonyHolistics 💞💞💞
Why was this one of the best tutorials I’ve seen? I actually sat down watching the whole 23 mins. 😁 Thank you! I can now start my mini projects! ☺️
Awww thank you Raquel 🌻💕
You are a great teacher! You made it easy to understand how to use this equipment, because you explained it so well. I will purchase this one for my diy projects. Thank you!
Awww Phyllis thank you so much!! Thank you for the feedback my sweet friend and I’m so excited for you to get a Joy!!!💕🌻
Loved that about the video!!! Most videos don't get down to the nitty gritty but she did so effortlessly 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
@@karindamckenzie4719 awww thank you darlin!!!! that is our goal !!! :)
It's not hard to tell you are a Teacher! your tutorial is by far the best one I have seen on the Joy machine! I was ready to pack it up and return it! Thank you so much for your easy-to-follow instructions! Now I just need help with how to size images in a way I can understand !
I am so glad you found value in my tutorial! That makes my day☀️🎉🤓. I will see if I can get a short video out soon on how to resize and match it to your mat so you can get correct sizing from screen to vinyl;).
I just want to say, I'm glad I came across your page. You went right to the point, No stalling and explained it so easy. Now I can put it to use
Oh I am so glad to hear that Nora!! That made my day. Enjoy your Cricut Joy my sweet friend!! I have tons of Cricut Joy tutorials to give you some creating inspiration 🥳🤩
I will be honest and admit that I wasn’t sure I was going to take the time to watch your entire video before I pressed “play”… but thank God I did!!
My teacher brain (taught 18 years before having to retire due to health reasons) enjoyed your talented teacher brain. Thank you for taking advantage of every second to teach, share and enjoy the process right with us!!
Love! Love!! LOVE!!!
Awww Stacey you absolutely made my day my friend. I am so glad you enjoyed the video and all I had to share and teach. 💕Enjoy your crafting adventures.
Thanks for showing it in your cell phone. My laptop is old too and I will have to use my cell for the Joy.
I used mine with my cellphone. It was so easy. I love it.
Lol glad I'm not alone!! Did not wanna pull out that Dell 😂😂😂 this is what grabbed my eye about the video!!
Thank you so much for showing me how to use it. I just got one today for Christmas and I'm so excited to use it
From one teacher to another you are an amazing educator! You explained and modeled everything flawlessly. To be honest, I have been buying vinyl essential oil labels from crafters on Etsy, but it gets pretty expensive and then there's the long wait times. Well NO MORE! :-)
Something I am unsure about is which Cricut is best for a newbie crafter? If you buy a cricut does that mean you can pay as you go for supplies or are you obligated to purchase a monthly subscription? Do cricut machines only work with their own supplies or can you mix and match vinyl sheets from other companies? What's the deal with the pens? Do you need different pens for different fonts? (sorry for so many questions, but I want to be an informed buyer :-) Thanks!
Here is the Joy pt 2 🤍ruclips.net/video/vX940BNyTRc/видео.html
Jdc vinyl review 🙋♀️ruclips.net/video/z8vL02-ai0k/видео.html
Jessica I am so sorry for some reason my message wasn’t completely sent!! My apologies!! I would definitely say that an Air2 would be the machine for you and what you want to make. The vinyl is a pain trying to find what’s best and how to use it and I’ve looked for 3 years trust me it’s a process. You have to find what works for you and JDC vinyl is amazing !! The best in the US! I have to say creative fabrica is the best for a subscription as Cricut access is super limited and you have to pay additional for other images and fonts. You don’t get the commercial license either so you can sell them or start a small biz if you wanted.
➡️www.creativefabrica.com/ref/476735/
📌Creative Fabrica gives you commercial license to use your images and fonts for your small business use!!!
USE code SWEETCOUNTRYGLAM30 to get 35 percent off a subscription to the site with full access!!! It is reoccurring for as long as you want the subscription access.
I hope this is helpful and giving you direction! 😍🙋♀️Teacherlife!!
Have a wonderful day my sweet friend!!♥️
@@SolHarmonyHolistics Thanks so much for your time and thoughtful response. I received my cricut air 2 just yesterday but was wondering what to do next! You truly are a wonder!! Thanks again! :-)
I didn’t know a thing about cricut. So decided to watch some RUclips videos first. Yours was the first to come up. I told hubby I might have a Christmas gift idea for me. So I’m exploring it first, and then there’s the model to decide on too. Just wish I had one now to decorate for Christmas. Thanks for explaining it , I have a lot to learn, hope this 60 year old brain is up to it.
You will do amazing crafting this holiday season my friend. Enjoy the crafting videos🩵
About to buy my Joy now..I need it for my earring and poetry business ...was listening while driving to Wal-Mart ☺️ thanks
Awww 🥰im so excited for ya Neo!!! Keep me posted on your Cricut adventures 😍
@@SolHarmonyHolistics I BOUGHT IT😁Thank you will do.
You mentioned the different sizes for pens etc. I just got my JOY and also ordered these little things that go on the regular circut pens and it makes them fit in the JOY. They weren't expensive. Haven't used them yet so fingers crossed!!!!
Woo hoo ! I am so glad Susan. Keep me posted on they work out. 🤩
If you didn't already figure it out, there is a hidden magnet where you can put the blade so it doesn't roll away. It is in the front upper right side
Or left :)
I can’t find it
I am so glad I came across your video. I just got my joy yesterday and I am so excited to know how to use it now. I subscribe to your channel and look forward to watching other videos of yours
@Rachel Cain!! 💛🤗 yay!! I’m so glad Rachel and welcome to the SCG crew. Have a blast with your Joy and keep ya posted on your awesome projects 🙌. We are all learning and being creative together. Have a blessed day!!🌻

Aww thank you my sweet friend ☺️
I’m picking up my cricut joy today and your tutorial has BEEN THE BEST ONE EVER! I suscribed and I love how you reply to everyone’s questions even weeks later. ❤️ i will definitely
Come to you for questions lol

Hi! I just got my cricut joy! I'm so excited and cant wait to do some DIY'S. I just cant figure out where and how to get fonts. Can you please help me? I have an android phone I'm using. Thank.you

I just got my first cricut and it's a Joy. You just removed the intimidation for me. Thank you so much 💓
Awww I am so glad to hear that my sweet friend !!
Hi, can you get two designs on that small sheet if you divide the images?
Can you use an image that was found online or any other logo not from the cricut joy ? Or you can’t use any images just what’s made for the cricut joy packets.. thanks
Yes ma’am, @Bonnie Lee you can move the item to fit the size you want. You of course would have to adjust the sizes as needed. You can of course add another design from design space that is already uploaded or an image that you’ve purchased👏🤗🌻. If the image is to big for a Joy cut, it will prompt you to make it smaller 🙌. I hope this helps my friend 🤗.
Have a blessed day!
You are lovely. Great instructions, your 5th graders are fortunate to be taught by you. Your baby is adorable. Thank you for all of this helpful information.
Awe thank you my sweet friend !!! 🥰🥰🥰I’m so happy you enjoyed the video !!❤️
Thanks so much for the tutorial! I just got my cricut joy as a Christmas gift to myself!
🎉🎉🎄🤩😂woo hoo!!! I’m so excited for ya girl!! You’ll have so much fun!! Let me know if you have any questions !!
I find burnishing the vinyl before I put it on the transfer tape helpful.
NICE TUTORIAL!
THANK YOU!
burnishing. I actually have an old pizza roller I use for that.
Great tip!
What an awesome piece of equipment. I have a very old Cricut Machine that is just too awkward for me so I will put the Cricut Joy on my wish list. I have a very small work area so it would really work great for me. Thanks so much for enlightening me. Blessings from Canada!
Thank you so much Elizabeth! That makes my day, I hope you get the joy and find its easier on space and time. Have a blessed day 🌻
OMG! Your video has been a life saver. I have watch multiple videos and I said oh no I'm taking this machine back. Thank you so much!!!
Awwww Aisha I am so happy that we can help you 🤗🌻. Thank you for watching and let us know if you have anymore questions 🤩🌻.
periods? ellipses! great video. I don't have a cricut yet, but I'm watching all the videos. thanks for doing this.... ellipses
Hey Joanne, as soon as Cricut sends us another coupon, I will send you the link. We always put the newest and best deals in our links in all our videos 💕🌻. Have a wonderful weekend.
@@SolHarmonyHolistics thanks! my dil works at target and I can get 15% there too. I don't know if I can do both, but thanks so much! I have not tried one before, but I'm watching all the tutorials and I am intrigued. I can see using it for cute coffee mugs and my quilting and making tshirts. I am a devout crafter and always have been! Always good to learn something new.
Anyway, I will look forward to seeing more of your videos.
U r The GREATEST! I've been wanting 2 try this 1 b4 getting the big stuff, u always learn from a Great teacher, thnx so much.
Awww thank you so much Darlene 🥰. Have fun creating and let me know if you have any questions 🤩🤗
I wanna make little nail decals is this perfect for that
What a great idea Marissa! Just be sure to note that really intricate cuts on small pieces may not come out as clear. Also, it depends on what vinyl or material you are cutting. I think you can definitely give it a try. I have cut random pieces and little bits have got on my nails and the smart vinyl sticks great to them.🤩I’ll have to try this out as well my friend. Let’s keep each other posted. 🌻👍have a blessed day!!
Where did you get your earrings? Love those ! Thinking of purchasing a cricut joy.
Great video!😀 For years I have been dreaming about buying a digital cutting machine. But I don't know which one to buy. I think this Joy might be ideal. A bit worried about the waste involved when using the cutting mode though. Is it possible to cut the vinyl to size before the cutting and then use the off cut for another time?
Yes you can cut the material to the size you want or leave it and cut it off after and save the extra for another project. Hope this helps.
Hello. Thanks for the info! I just got my Cricut today. Do you have a video for beginners on how to pick your font and adding other things as well at the same time? I have to make a heat transfer decal with the name, “King,” but I need a small crown where the i goes. Would I need transfer paper to put it on dog bandanas?

@@SolHarmonyHolistics thanks so much
How can I cut my own images, I paint shoes and want to make stencils to help me paint things but I’ve only seen people use the images Cricut already has
Kylee, you can purchase any images that are an accepted file for design space. Cricut sells stencil sheets that you can cut and then use for your shoe projects. You can even create your own images using adobe illustrator. However, that does cost money. You can always reach out to svg creators on Etsy and they might be willing to work with you in creating a file that you can promote and tell others about their site. These are just a few tips. Let me know if you have any other questions. Have a great day my friend 🌻🇺🇸🤗.
kylee Renee I think it needs to be in a png file, you’d have to digitally erase the parts of the drawing that you don’t want and save as a png transparent picture
Another software that you can use to design your svg images is Inkscape and it is free.
Thank you for being very thorough and informative! Your video is the best I've come across and you explained perfectly! 🙌
Aww thank you my sweet friend. I am so glad you found value in my tutorial. Have a beautiful day! ☺️
Thank you so much for sharing . .l just got my Joy and now I am ready to plat😂❤️
Hooray!!! Have fun Virginia !!! 💕🌻
For someone that is just getting started and dose not do big crafts would this be a good start
Yes Megan, this would be a great little machine to begin with. 🤗🤩 Just be ready to get the Air 2 or Maker when you are comfortable to extend on your crafting adventures 🤩. Have a wonderful day my friend!!!
I'm gonna get me one, I'm excited to get started. Thanks for the tutorial. 🌹
I’m so excited for you!! Enjoy and have fun 🤗🌻! Thank you for watching!!
@@SolHarmonyHolistics I Will, Thank You Again
I'm based in the UK and the joy is currently on a very good sale price. Is it good for cutting quite small text on garment vinyl say 1/4" and also flock vinyl for garments?
Does it give a nice 90 degree angle when cutting rectangles?
Also do you have to use a mat when cutting garment vinyl?
I hope you can help. Many thanks in advance for any reply.
Wow, you’ve helped me make my mind up on asking Father Christmas for a Joy. It looks amazing and easy too use. I just want it for card making, but mainly for doing my own sentiments on cards. I currently have CM300 Scan & Cut but I don’t have the pen system and basically I’ve had the machine 3 years and only just getting the hang of cutting my stamp images. The Circut Joy looks just what I need, can’t wait to watch more of your videos. Also all the cups, plates, knives forks are having names put on them, then I know who’s not washed there pots haha gonna have some fun when I get one xxxx
Aww Vanessa!! I’m so happy this video helped!! I’m excited for you to get the Joy🥰you will love it!! Thank you for watching SCGLAM 💕🤗have a beautiful evening my sweet friend.
@@SolHarmonyHolistics I’ve also just sent your video too my daughter she’s just turned 21 and is always it hi g to be crafty m making something but not into card making. So I’ve show her your video as I know for a fact she’ll be doing all personalised top for her Son who’s going too be 1 on 3rd December. I’ve already asked for a personalised Coffee Mug with Best Nannie and his little hand print, again that’s because I’d just watched a previous video where you personalised a cup xxx great ideas, really gonna be watching all ya previous videos. N if I do get a JOY I’ll let you know lol xxx I’m
In UK or I would have gone through your affiliation link xxx
🤗thank you so much for sharing our videos that means so much to me!! I’m so glad these videos will help you continue your Cricut crafting journey!! I’m sure you daughter will have a blast creating cards. They are so much fun.
Have a beautiful day!! Keep me posted I am excited for you to get a Joy 💕🤗
Newbie here curious if you can buy any vinyl for use on the cricut joy or does it have to be cricut joy specific?
Absolutely you can buy whatever vinyl you like. It all varies how it cuts so just be mindful to adjust your pressure as needed. You’ll find what works best with each brand after you use it a few times.
Great tutorial! I always wanted a cricut machine but i was so intimidated. This one makes it look so much easier! Would you say purchasing the tools and extras are necessary when you first get the machine?
They are not a necessary but do help make your projects easier. You will need your materials. Everyday I search for the best quality at an affordable cost and I create links leading straight to them in the description. 3 days ago I had a 50% off coupon that was good for 1 day. These come and go fast for the great deals. Right now Cricut has bundle deals. They cost more but you get more for your money. Hope this helps!
Sweet Country Glam yes it does. Will you always have access to the extra fonts even if you decide to not renew the yearly subscription ?
@Our Life you will have access to select fonts. Only a few free ones in there and it’s always changing.
Sweet Country Glam thank you so much for all the information! I hope you make more cricut joy videos! Can't wait til mine comes in!
I am glad I came upon your video, I just got my Joy and had a hard time getting it to pair with my blue tooth and could not get it to work on my laptop, so I need to get myself a smaller laptop that will be more compatible with the smart vinal, and yes, it does weed so much easier.
I am so glad you did too!!! Happy crafting my sweet friend. Let me know if you have any questions.
I just bought mine! Sure wish I would have known about the coupon before! Dang!!
Oh Kathy I’m sorry!! Darn it!! I am excited for you to begin crafting!! 🤗🌟
Thank you for your video I want to make a round welcome home wood sign will the joy work for me in sizing
🤗Yes Crystal it will work great for you 🙌🙌! Have a wonderful day!
Just know that the Joy doesn’t cut anything other than cards(card stock )thin faux leather and vinyl(regular and HTV). 👍👍
Thank you ! I'm (fingers crossed) getting my first cricut tomorrow and I've been looking at the app and not sure on some things. This tutorial really helped !
Yay🤗💕that makes me so happy Ambycat!!! Keep me posted and have fun and be patient with yourself 🌻!!
Thank you for the demonstration and talking about everything as you were going through every step. Do you give a lesson on how to do iron ons? Thanks for sharing.

This was an awesome Tutorial I’ve been looking into getting a cricut but don’t have the workspace for a huge one and this cricut joy looks perfect 💕💕
Thank you my sweet friend!! Yes this is a prefect fit for small workspaces 😁♥️. You’ll love it!!
I’ve been really thinking about the cricut joy a lot lately. Wanna start doing my crafty things on my free times.😊
You will love crafting with the Joy , Amanda. 🌻Just be aware you’ll want to get a Maker or Explorer down there road. There is so much to make and create ☀️🌻. Thank you watching my sweet friend!!
Sweet Country Glam well I can try to see which one I wanna get my hands on eventually. If anything I want the purple air explorer 2 bc I love that color. But the joy is so cute. I think it would make the perfect starter for me.
@@ReshiramMage1992 It is a prefect starter machine for ya. :) You will like that you can travel with it if needed and if you want to make money and sell at craft fairs. :) Have fun and let me know how your Joy crafting adventures are going. :)

Aww I am so glad!! Welcome Nicole to the SCGLAM community💖
Enjoy !
can i load my own type of paper/card into this thing, i just need to make it cut out a stencil from my own materials
Yes you can Rich. Use the green mat and secure it with some tape. 👍👍🌻
By showing me that you CAN use your phone to make images Not just a computer. ( I dont have an updated one) You have helped me decide that I would go ahead and purchase one. Im very crafty and feel like this would help enhance my creations even more. As a beginner Does anyone recommend a specific one? The Joy looks like ot would do exactly what im looking for!
I am so glad this helped! The only thing I would decide now is if you want to print cut images? Then you need a larger machine - the cricut joy doesn’t have a print option. Just fyi :)
If i want to create birthday banners? Is this not the one for me ?
Thank you for the box opening, and tutorial! I just received mine in the mail today. This video made me really excited about using it, and also confirm that I made a great purchase! 😊
Oh I love my cricut joy for my smaller crafting tasks. Enjoy my sweet friend so glad you enjoyed it!! 🧡
OMG you made it look so easy, I just got my Cricutjoy yesterday and I'm So ready to make stuff, also will you make a tutorial of how to use two colors of smart vinyl on one project if that's really a thing Thanks so much
I’m so glad my friend !! Yay!! I use various types of vinyl and as long as you have some Cricut Joy transfer tape you can use as many colors as you like. Were you planing on do a layered design?
This was the best tutorial 🥰😆
Awww Mary Lou thank you soooo much! That means a lot to me!! I am glad you liked it and approve😁💕. That is our goal and mission🌻. I hope you subscribed to our SCG crew 👍🌻.
One of the best turtorials.
Aww thank you Beth 💜☺️
I wish I was in your classroom. We just had sewing pinafore’s 60 years ago. ❤️
Awww 💛I know times sure have changed. I didn’t have many cool things in my classes that I remember either. I wish I was in my classroom right now Julie. I really am missing my kiddos and this online teaching just isn’t the same :(.
Thank you for watching 🤓🌻have a blessed day!!
I'm thinking of asking for one of these for my birthday next month. Thank you so much for the very detailed instruction! I have a question though... when you transfer the vinyl onto, let's say, a coffee mug... how well does it stay on through washing? Will it eventually peel off through normal dish washing? Can it be washed in the dishwasher? Is it microwave safe?
Aww that would be a great gift !! Thank you my friend 😊
It can peel over time but hand wash it only. No dishwasher unless you epoxy over it 😊
If I needed a tutor then she would be the one
Aww thank you Jaylen!!! Have a wonderful day my friend!!
I will be getting my Joy in a few days so some of it seems easy but I still have questions. I will have to take my time and learn as I go. I have no doubt I will love working with it but right now, not sure I understand it all. Will be watching more videos.
Woo hoo my friend I am excited for you to begin your cricut joy adventures. It definitely does take time to get use to all the basic functions, but just keep trying and practicing each day and it will get easier. Before ya know it you will be a pro 🧡. I have many tutorials on how to make various items with your circuit joy. Let me know if you have any questions.
🌺Aloha! This is exactly what I was looking for. I've always wanted a cricut and this helps as a newbie to start! Great video! I'm excited now, think I'm gonna get one and the goodies! Take care and have a blesssd day as well 🌺🤙🌈🌞🌴🌊
@genalei808 that makes me super happy to hear 😛🌟🌺🌴. I’m so glad you are getting on!! Check out our Cricut link in the description and snag some great bundle deals 🙌💛👏. Have a blessed day my friend!!!
Thank you for the video! Does this work for big signs , like 200x200cm or would I need a bigger printer
The joy as stated is only able to width wise about 4.5in in height but can cut a banner up to 48in long. You will need smart vinyl for that long of a cut. This joy does connect to a printer😓. You will have to buy the new xtra joy that can connect to printers.
Hey, awesome video!
Do you think the silver vinyl would be easy to read against transparent acrylic?
It reads good on glass. Sometimes it’s nice to give it an offset border in a different color. Like silver vinyl with a white or black offset vinyl underneath. Borders always look nice 👍🏻
Thankyou so much. Does the decal stay on when the cup is washed
Hello Gail, as long as you don’t scrub it and hand wash it with warm soapy water. If you want it to be dishwasher safe you would have to consider a clear coat of epoxy 🤓😊. Have a beautiful day.
I feel like a lil kid waiting for their present I just asked my husband for a circut joy! I wanna use this to decorate for my daughter’s first birthday!!!
If you where putting it on a T shirt would you still transfer it to the tape or do you iron it on straight from the paper?
I just re watched and I think I transfer it to the tape and separate it with parchment paper, then Iron it on? Could someone correct me if wrong
Hello friend I am sorry for the delay. You do not need transfer tape for HTV heat transfer items. You only use transfer tape to remove the sticker vinyl images off the sticker backing and add it to your item of choice I.e a bottle, mug, key chain, book etc. I hope this helps. 💕
Thanks for this turtorial. I was thinking of purchasing the Cricut Joy but not sure how difficult it would be to work it. After viewing this, I will purchase it. Looks like fun ! One question, how well will the vinyl hold in the dishwasher ?
Oh In So glad Lorraine!! You’ll love it. The permanent vinyl I hand wash. If you want it to be safe for dishwasher I would recommend putting a layer of epoxy over it. 🤩👍👍
Thank you for this tutorial, it really helped as I unboxed and tried in out. My problem is getting the font small enough. I was able to get it down to a tiny bit over 2 inches but I still need it even smaller. Is there a way to make it even smaller?
I should have said I am working with a vinyl not the pin yet I have not attempted that
Hello my sweet friend you can make your font smaller or you can click on the text it’s self (on those arrows going opposite directions) and make the box smaller and that will make the text smaller. 😁I hope that helps.
@@SolHarmonyHolistics Great thanks! I figured it out after you said make the font smaller by going to size😊. Appreciate your help!
so what the different between cricut joy and circut explore air?
also can i draw my own costume draws that go to stickers with this cricut?
Draw your images and scan them into your computer and then upload it as a JPEG to your design space.
Can you put the mug with smart vinyl in the dishwasher?
I wouldn’t recommend it. The vinyl is says permanent but that’s just for hand washing. :)
Thanks so much for this tutorial using your phone. I do have a question. How do I download fonts on my phone and use them within the app.? I can’t seem to figure it out.
Hey Courtney!! Thank you so much for watching🌻🤗. I did find this helpful for downloading fonts to an iPhone. Not sure if that’s what you have. Let me know if you were able to use these steps and download fonts successfully. 🤩
* some of these apps may cost a small amount. Just research which is best for your project needs 🤗
👍Installing your fonts in iOS
In AnyFont, tap your font file.
Tap the Aa icon.
Tap Install on the upper right corner.
Tap Next on the upper right corner.
You will then receive a 'consent' message telling you that this configuration profile will install this font. Tap Next.
Tap Install again.
Tap Done and you're finished.
Have a great day my friend!!🌻
Sweet Country Glam yes it worked.! Thanks a bunch.! 🤗
Yay!! I’m so glad! Have a blessed day my friend!💕
Hi I am thinking about getting cricket joy for my Birthday I was just wondering if you could do personalized T-shirts with the cricket joy
Hey Phyllis,
You can cut iron on vinyl/HTV with the Joy. It is however limited to the width on come svgs files. So you will have to make a smaller cut or change your image. If you enjoy the Joy and want to expand your crafting boundaries- definitely look in an Explorer Air or Maker. 🤗🌻Thank you for watching SCG. Have a blessed day my friend. Also, don’t forget to check for links for an Easy Press. You will definitely need that to iron on your cuts. 🤩🙌
Sweet Country Glam Thank you very much
Hello
I really enjoyed the class🤗
Can i be abke to make stickers for resin keyholders with a cricut joy?
Oh I am so glad my sweet friend. You can make drawn or cut names out of sticker vinyl for keychains. You can’t print with the Joy. I hope they fix that soon. You would have to invest in the Maker or Air for you to have it print to a printer and then Your machine cut them out. 😊🤩
Hey do i need to buy Cricut transfer tape or is their a cheaper better option for labeling plastic and glass containers.
I honestly like clear contact paper and the Cricut Joy transfer tape 💜
Hi! Great video. But you mention an SVG and i don’t know what that is nor do I know how to get it loaded. I have downloaded fonts onto my phone but I do not know how to get the cricut to discover the fonts. Can you explain how to do that for me? Thanks in advance for your help
Hey Laura A, some fonts do not download to a phone device properly as they do on a computer. I attempted it a few times and the ttf. File doesn’t show up on my IOS device and therefore it will not populate into Design Space. It will show up if you download the font on a computer and insert/save it to the fonts on your computer. Then open Design Space and it will populate under the tab System. Be sure to write now the names of the fonts you like best so you can search them quickly. An svg is similar to a font in downloading. Once you save the svg. I save them in a folder on my desktop to find it quicker. One you are in upload on Design Space you can drag and drop the svg to the center and it will add the image. Name and save it. Then click on the uploaded image and click insert in the bottom right hand corner. View your canvas and it should be waiting for you 🤗😁. Let me know if I can help with anything else. I hope this clarifies your questions . Have a blessed day!! 🇺🇸🌻😁
Sweet Country Glam thanks for the assistance. That was very helpful. I, like some of the other commenters, can’t use my laptop as its too outdated. I’ll have to use my phone. So, I downloaded a font from Etsy and the seller explained how to get it loaded but I am still having trouble. It appears to be an svg but when I go to upload, browse image, then click on the file and go to insert, it shows a picture in the space of the font not the font itself. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Once again, I appreciate any help you can give me. My sister sent me your video (after I’d already watched it) and said “SHE’LL have the answers!” No pressure!
Awww Laura!! Thank you!! Let me look into this further and see if I can figure this out. What kind of phone are you using? We will learn and figure this out together 🤗🌻🇺🇸👏
Sweet Country Glam hello! I am using an iPhone X
Okay so Laura I tried a svg on my iPhone 11 Pro. It added no issue to Cricut design space. I am wondering if fonts aren’t an acceptable upload. I will look into this further and see if their is a way to save it to your iCloud and upload it. I just know a computer had a font folder and that’s what carries over to Design Space. I am wondering if the phone doesn’t have a font folder that transfers those fonts over. 🤓🧐
I just got one for $10 since it was a return and none of the other items were inside.. so since I’m just learning I just bought a few items on discount. I’m just grateful it works lol
This really helped me understand how to use my cricut joy thank you! Also do you have the link for the free font and does the subscription service in your description charge a monthly or yearly fee? Thanks x
You are so welcome! I am glad you enjoy the content. :)
Do you have the link for the free font please i cant find it in the description xx
@@chloek9862 Hey my friend that was 4 years ago but do not worry, I will send you to where you can get tons of great fonts and save tons of money. Don't buy off cricut. Check out Creative Fabrica for all your fonts, pngs and svgs. :) www.creativefabrica.com/subscription/ref/476735/
Finally i found a video that explain everything😍😍 thank you for making this vid. Anyway is that waterproof the thing on that mug?
Thank you my sweet friend !! 😍
The permanent vinyl can be hand washed but if you want to really make it waterproof you need to put epoxy or a clear acrylic sealer on it. 😎🙂
Hi this video is very helpful. I've always wanted a cricut since I was a little girl and I want this one because it is smaller and compact. Looks so much fun to use and craft with. I had a teacher who I helped make Christmas cards. She had a big cricut. I helped with putting stuff on the cards. The cards me and my classmates help make the money for a pack of cards went to my special Ed class.
Thank you so much my sweet friend for sharing! I loved hearing how you helped your teacher make cards this past year for your classmate. You are so sweet! Happy Crafting 💕
I have a Cricut air 2.. do you see any real benefit in getting the joy as well?
Sheastmode, it’s honestly up to you. If you travel or like to partake in craft fairs then I would say go for it!! However, you have an Air!! You’re honestly set 🤗. Again, I do like the Joy for how quick it is to make personalized cards with the blue card insert mat. It’s a few less steps and a quicker process then making it on the bigger machines. That’s just my honest opinion 😊. Have a blessed day my friend. Thank you for watching.
I m planning to buy one. My question is do I need to buy templet for every project? You told about bundle but cant get it anf dont find those in links either. The transcript is too funny lol. So I want to know how much are the fonts and stuff and where to buy them? Just cricut or you canbuy somewhere else and add it. Thank you
Sorry about the links not working. Some of them don’t always work and so I would advise checking out Creative Fabrica. You don’t need to buy templates unless you click on them from the cricut design space platform. When you have a subscription with creative fabrica you get unlimited access to all graphics fonts and more. You download what you like and upload them to cricut design space. You can check out this video to show you that process- ruclips.net/video/D58sajC6ojI/видео.html

Thank you for this vid. Awww the baby is so cute.
Awww thank you Chris 🧡and I am so glad you enjoyed the video
I dont have a computer I only have my phone ang and I'm a big planner girl Lol ,so I'm trying to use it for my planner stickers, I use a lot of kits from etsy's and they print fine from my phone but I have to hand cut everything which is very time consuming so really want a cutting machine but didn't know whether a silhouette or cricut would be best, do all the cricuts work from android's without the need for a computer or just this one? And if the kit I get on etsy's has silhouette cut files with it but not cricut files will I be able to make the cut lines myself or something?
Hey Amber, you can use your cell phone for Cricut Design Space. You mentioned labels and honestly the Joy would be prefect for those smaller projects you mentioned. That would cut out the time consuming parts. Yes, any svg files you purchase are compatible. The only error I have seen is when you simply have to make the image smaller for the Cricut machine of your choice to cut it. Just make sure your linetype is on cut. Check out our link to a discount on a Cricut machine. They have great deals going on. Let me know if you have any other questions or if I can help clarify anything further. Have a blessed evening!! 🤗🇺🇸🌻
Great vid ! The material that did NOT REQUIRE a mat… can that be used for iron on t shirts ?
This is the riot joy vinyl as it comes on a special paper that does need to be on mat. They also came out with smart vinyl which is very similar. These are not for clothing. You will need to buy HTV heat transfer vinyl for clothing :) and a heat press machine' .
Awesome tip and video, wanted to research before investing. Can you use this for iron on?
You sure can Lillian. Your designs are a bit smaller but it’s definitely doable. I use it for my iron on glitter earrings. 🤗🌻Have a beautiful evening!!
@@SolHarmonyHolistics thank you so much, I'll be watching more of your videos
Super informative. I kind of felt like in the beginning I was trying to be sold on the Joy, but I already have one that’s why I came to you. But you do a wonderful job explaining. 💕 thank you!
Thank you Megan. It wasn’t to sell anyone but to share the unboxing and all the features the joy offers. I have really enjoyed using my joy on various projects the last almost 3 years. Enjoy and thank you for watching☺️
I really enjoyed enjoyed your demonstration.
I would like to use the cricket to design t-shirts.
Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for sharing how the Cricut Joy works. I can't wait to go and explore all the amazing things to create using it, you explained things so well and it was simple and easy to follow. I look forward to watching more of your videos. 🤗🤎🤗
Aww thank you my sweet friend. I am so glad you found value in our content 🩵
