For Hack #4 tape the back before you add them to the mat :) for even cooler put the scraps at a 45 degree angle. LOVE this Video! My tip wax paper! Pull the backing off and add wax paper
Dollar Tree has a pencil and paintbrush holder that holds 49 cricut pens and you can put the tip side down. I have 2 of them now. Well worth it. Thanks for the hacks video.
That link roller thing is genius! I have tons of those because I use lint rollers for many many things. Never thought about that vinyl sticky thing. Perfect and thanks for the tip on the little wheels. I'm so doing both of these hacks.
Hey Jazzy! Yes, this was a fun video because everyone picked up on a tip that would be helpful for them. Thank you for watching and enjoy the rest of your week! - Dawn
Loved the pen hack! I will definitely try that. Also really loved the scraps hack. What fun!! Can't wait to find a project to use that on! Also, really appreciated that you didn't gloss over that you didn't tape the leather piece down. It's moments like that that really stick and helps me to avoid those types of mistakes and frustration.
Temu has the rolling wheels like the ones that you have on your maker for fairly cheap. Most product from them is really good. I have no complaints with the things I have ordered.
Knew about the weeding box and have been using it frequently but it's nice to have an alternative (offsetting) to the weeding box. Both are good and you can apply depending on the project as sometimes, certain projects lean toward the weeding box more. Thanks for the hacks!
Just watched this video again. Great hacks. I recently read about monoline fonts that don't print out as bubble text on the Cricut. They are AlwaysHere, Advertising Script Monoline Trial, Flamenco-Light, Matilde and Stymie Hairline Regular. All are free fonts to download. Worth testing these fonts. I did print them out on a Cricut Maker with good results.
for the offset weeding... if the a couple of the letters are a little close. You could always ungroup and spread them a bit until they're where you want them.
I love this offset and weeding box tip! Thank you. I'm glad I saw your video. I have to admit I got so discouraged when I keep ruining my vinyl I put my Cricut away and never looked back. 😢 I just felt like crying, instead of being fun it became more of a frustration.
Ok update I’m so excited I did my summer with each letter a different color individually added the offset and then flatten it and printed it out on my sub printer im so exicited now I have to see how it comes out omg I wish I could show you thanks crystal ❤
I love all of these great tips. Thanks for sharing them. I will definitely be using all of them. My favorites are the weeding hack and using up the scraps.
Regarding hack 1 and the fabric mat. Would it be possible to take ANY mat and put the transfer sheet on it? The fabric is never going to touch the pink mat. Furthermore, could see through contact paper be used instead of the transfer sheet?
Amazing hacks! I even learned how to change from cut to draw. Have been wondering about that. Love the scrap pieced Summer. What kind of vinyl do you use on your car?
I am such a newbie, so I really appreciated this video. I have a question about the fonts. Can u please explain about the option next to font named Style on Design space and how to use it, and what it does. My Style option is stuck on regular with a check mark. I enjoyed learning about offset because I just completed my first project which unfortunately I failed 3 times already because of choosing a smaller thinner font and weeding was impossible. Sadly I had to toss several attempts. I finally gave in and chose a much larger chunky font for a name. Thanks!!
Hi CrystalAnn, I am looking forward to trying the Offset hack..however in your video I thought you landed on 0.10 and not 0.30. can you confirm? And is the smaller number (Setting) making the letter or lines closer together? Thank you!
I have not been working on my cricut for awhile, I haven't any clue how many things they added, I love your video and learned some new tricks! Thanks Crystal
I loved the pen hack! Definitely a game changer. Question…is there a way to then cut out the writing so it looks like a die cut or sticker? I am a Cricut “newbie “. Thanks!
I love the offset font trick but for some reason it doesn't seem to work on any font for me. Everything is up to date and current but just doesnt work 😥. Love watching your videos, definitely have taught me a few things! 😃
The writing hack is awesome! There are some fonts that do not have a writing option, so that would be great for those. Wheels! I definitely need to get some of those! Thank you!
For the weesing tip... What if you make the offset a bit bigger so most of them is touching, then you basically weed ot all at once. Or will it not work like that?
Sorry if this question was already asked & answered but wouldn’t our machine move/become less stable while operating with wheels on the bottom? My favourites are the the offset & weeding box for easier weeding; fill with “inset” & using scraps. Thank you!!
Hi Ellen-Marie! That is a great question. The Cricut machine doesn't move when it's cutting vinyl and paper. I haven't tested the wheels while etching however. - Dawn
Crystal when I first saw you do this I was wondering is there a way of creating that same design for a shirt how would change the colors of the letters ?
Some helpful information here! Have wheels in my Amazon cart but need clarification. Is the link you provided for the wheels used in your video or the ones that were in short supply (you mentioned they might be better)? Thanks!!
I loved this video. I especially loved the pen hack, I've been trying to perfect it ever since seeing this video, I would love to see a follow up video regarding using the offset. Ive been trying to get it to fill in like yours did and nada! But its such a great trick, I really want to perfect it. I've tried -0.040,-0,050 and so on and even higher/lower if you will. Please help, this hack is amazing!
Ok, I have watched a lot of Cricut hacks but you seriously are my favourite. Getting to the point. Clear a day! Thank you!
I love that you added the "fail" and then tried again!!! Its super helpful to see the problem solving :)
Glad it was helpful! We started incorporating them for this reason exactly! So happy you find them useful! - Agata
For Hack #4 tape the back before you add them to the mat :) for even cooler put the scraps at a 45 degree angle. LOVE this Video! My tip wax paper! Pull the backing off and add wax paper
Ohhhhhh I love the angle tip!!! Thank you for sharing that!! - Dawn
Dollar Tree has a pencil and paintbrush holder that holds 49 cricut pens and you can put the tip side down. I have 2 of them now. Well worth it. Thanks for the hacks video.
Wow great tip Linda! Thank you for that! - Agata
Do you have a pic of holder?
If possoble give an item number!
@@denisebatalha3552 this thing is great for those cricut pens
Great tip. Can you describe it or upload a pic. What section of the store did you find it crafting?
Pen hack using offset is the bomb!❤❤❤. The color combo with scraps was also awesome!❤. TY❤
That link roller thing is genius! I have tons of those because I use lint rollers for many many things. Never thought about that vinyl sticky thing. Perfect and thanks for the tip on the little wheels. I'm so doing both of these hacks.

Thanks for the font fill in tip! Going to give it a try!!! So, if it asks for a second pen, you can have a 2-color word. Nice!!!
Amazing, right? It opens up so many more fonts! - Dawn

I love how the final one came out. Ideas are forming. Thanks.
Regarding hack 1 and the fabric mat. Would it be possible to take ANY mat and put the transfer sheet on it? The fabric is never going to touch the pink mat. Furthermore, could see through contact paper be used instead of the transfer sheet?
Love the pen and scrap paper hack.😊
Love your videos! Wondering if you think the scrap pieces hack would work with HTV?
Amazing hacks! I even learned how to change from cut to draw. Have been wondering about that. Love the scrap pieced Summer. What kind of vinyl do you use on your car?

So many great ideas! Thank You!
Glad you like them! - Agata
For the weesing tip... What if you make the offset a bit bigger so most of them is touching, then you basically weed ot all at once. Or will it not work like that?
This is great, I'm going to try this.
Just the other day wondering if there was a way to fill in fonts so this video was totally needed!
Love them all! Thank you!!
So glad! Thank you so much - Agata
Wow the wheels hack was awesome thank you.
You are very welcome! - Dawn
Love them all
Sorry if this question was already asked & answered but wouldn’t our machine move/become less stable while operating with wheels on the bottom? My favourites are the the offset & weeding box for easier weeding; fill with “inset” & using scraps. Thank you!!
Hi Ellen-Marie! That is a great question. The Cricut machine doesn't move when it's cutting vinyl and paper. I haven't tested the wheels while etching however. - Dawn
@@DesignBundles That’s cool, thank you!
I love the hacks! Thanks so much Crystal!😊
Thank you so much Gerryann ! - Agata
Crystal when I first saw you do this I was wondering is there a way of creating that same design for a shirt how would change the colors of the letters ?
How have I not heard of a weeding box?? That is so helpful.
Will definitely try hack #2. I’ve wasted three rolls of permanent vinyl cutting and weeding small words
I loved the pen hack and the rainbow.
Hi Penny! Thank you for sharing! Pen hack still has us mind blown - Agata
I love all your hacks, thansk you
I'll definitely be using the pen hack!!! Thank you 😊
Very cool hacks ! 🥰😊👍

Hi Robin! We're glad you are back! Thank you for watching today and make sure you subscribe to be notified of new videos! - Dawn
Awesome ideas
Thank you for sharing
Glad you like them! - Agata
I’m a newbie and I love the different color summer cut. I do like all of them tho.
So glad you liked it Doreen! - Agata
Definitely going to try these hacks. Love the offset one
Thank you so much Lori! Glad you liked it!
What size pen did you use ? I followed exactly and didn’t get the same results. I’m thinking the size of the tip makes a difference
Some helpful information here! Have wheels in my Amazon cart but need clarification. Is the link you provided for the wheels used in your video or the ones that were in short supply (you mentioned they might be better)? Thanks!!
Hi Pam! The link in the description are for the wheels that are used on the Cricut machine in the video - Dawn 🙂
I am going to try the weeding hack that looks like it would be so much easier
Let us know how it works for you! - Dawn
For the wheels you could also diy them by repurposing old "roll on" bottles, like the roll on oils from Dollar Tree.
Hey Antonia! We didn't even think of this! Thank you for sharing!- Dawn
I protect my mat with cheap contact paper. It serves the same purpose but costs less. I absolutely love the hacks for weeding.
That's a great idea, Holli! Especially now that $1 Tree is carrying their own craft supplies! - Dawn
Regarding the first tip, can you do that with the blue mat as well?
Just ordered the wheels! Thank you!
You are very welcome! I hope you love them as much as we do! - Dawn
