I purchased my Cricut almost 6 months ago now and haven’t done anything with it because i was honestly intimidated when i opened the box. Your step by step instructions have given me the confidence to actually setup it up. Thank you so much 😊.
You can do it! 🌸
Lol. Same here because of This channel im acrually looking forward to trying 😆
I’m in the same boat as you except I bought mine back in 2019 never used still in the box
Shannon did you get set up? If so, how do you like it?
I can relate! Part of me wanted to return it just because it looks so overwhelming!! Right now, I’m hooked up, and I’ve got the app downloaded to my iPad and connected to the Cricut. I was following another video, and that went way too fast!!
I recently bought a Cricut Maker Everything Material Bundle. I came across your videos and after a few minutes into it I knew I didn't have to search any further. Your Awesome! Your explanations, examples, and added tips are great! Also, your enthusiasm for crafting with this machine is contagious. Love it!
Thank you! You are so welcome! ❤️
Best tutorial hands down for a fresh start into cricut. Thank you for making this easy to follow video for what seemed like such an intimidating hobby to start.
Wow, thank you!
I have to think so. I’ve done some searching online, and I haven’t found any as good as this.
Couldn’t agree more - I was so worried about learning how to use the machine and this tutorial totally made it so approachable
I was there live, and I watched the replay while I unboxed and set up my new machine! It was incredibly helpful to watch all 3 classes before I even got my machine. I felt so much more confident. Thank you!
That is awesome!
Very helpful 👌
Awaiting my machine this week, so these videos are super exciting to watch! Thank you! I appreciate how you went very step by step! ♥️
This video is awesome! Great help :) I just wanted to put out there that I had some issues immediately with my setup. My card stock was tearing and ripping. I looked up some tips and found that you should make sure the smooth side is up. (I'm not sure if it was mentioned in the comments or video). This seemed to be the problem. So if anyone is experiencing the same issue, check your card stock. :)
Thanks for sharing!
Your teaching was absolutely amazing. I had NO IDEA how or what I was doing you explain everything effortlessly and i was able to complete my 1st cut with you. Thank you i'll keep watching
Awesome! Happy crafting! 😃
I just got a Cricut for Christmas, and this is proving to be extremely helpful! Thank you so much for doing this, Jennifer!
Me too merry Christmas
Me too
You are such a lovely, beautiful and friendly lady. Thank you so much for such a easy to follow and detailed guide… it’s my mums birthday in two days and I was just flicking through Google trying to find crafting ideas because she loves it when I make things for her. I think hand made gifts are so much more thoughtful. Whilst I was scrolling through I found the cricut machine. I was intrigued and fascinated by it so Looked for a video showing how it works and what it can do, lucky for me I found you. You’ve just taught me everything I wanted to know about it. I’m so grateful there are lovely humans like you who take the time to help people. Seriously your a fantastic person. I want to get one myself, but at the moment they are too expensive for me. I’m sure there’s a previous model which may be cheaper.. if you or anyone else who have kindly taken the time to read my comment (thanks) know of any other machines that are abit cheaper… I’d be ever so grateful, thank you.
We are lucky that you found us! The Explore Air 2 is less expensive but still a wonderful machine. There are always good sales to find on the machines. Here is a tutorial for you. jennifermaker.com/which-cricut-should-i-buy/
Thank you for this step by step! I’m a visual learner and this video helped tremendously. Looking forward to watching all the lessons.
I am so happy that it's been helpful, Jennifer! We try to have as many of our tutorials in both video and blog post forms, for people who learn best visually AND for those who learn best by hearing or seeing it done! 😍
My daughter bought me a Cricut this past March and I'm finally getting time to use it. Your step by step was AMAZING. Thank you. I look forward to seeing Part 2. 😊😊
Glad it was helpful! 😊🌻
Great first lesson. As someone who has no idea how to begin, this was perfect. Looking forward to watching Lesson 2
Glad you enjoyed it!
I purchased my Maker about 3 weeks ago, and because of unforeseen issues, I had not start it the process to connect the Cricut. I just finish lesson one & did my first cut, I love it!!. It took a couple of start over, for some reason I was not following like your video, but at the end I did it, thank you so much Jennifer, this road is exciting!
Yay! Congratulations! 😃
I bought my first MAKER today! Your video made me feel like I was right beside you girl! You gained one more subscriber. I'm ready for my first project, thanks to your great video. **loads Miss Jennifer's next video**

All in preparation for my machine to arrive.
Thank you for all this info. I received a circuit maker last Nov. as a gift. I didn’t know where to start. I managed to set up the app on my computer but was lost as to what next. I have now found your free tutorials and am so grateful for all your hard work helping us beginners! Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!
So so helpful! Getting my first Cricut maker this week and I have to admit - sooooo many butterflies in my tummy! 😂 wondering if you have videos cutting colored sand paper? 🤔
I do not but that sounds interesting.
Hey, how has been your experience with cricut maker?
Just now got my Maker connected (usb cord) to my laptop, got it recognized all going, even did my test cut. I feel so accomplished and a whole lot less scared now. lol I hate making mistakes because I don't like to feel like I am wasting materials.... I love my JOY... I feel a love coming on for MAKER. ;)
Wonderful! So glad to hear that! 😃
Thank you! I was intimidated but your step to step helped a lot!
You are so welcome! 💜

Im so excited and happy that you did this video! I have had this box for 1 month and was scared to get started! Thank you! I cant wait until tomorrow to print the hand book and watch lesson 2
I'm so glad!
I had skipped Lesson 1 Live because I thought I knew it all since I have had my Maker for 1 month & I had my 14 month old grandson over! ;) Anyway, I am glad I finally watched it because it helped me set up Bluetooth connection. I appreciate you taking the time to teach us newbies!
You are so welcome!
Omggg I’m all set up thanks to you! Thank u for the easy and very thorough step by step guide!
Glad it helped!
Your voice is so pleasant. I revived my cricut yesterday. I already feel so much more confident. Thank you

Hello Jennifer! Thank you for this, it was very helpful! Although I’d used my Maker to do a test cut via my mobile, I’ve now set up my iMac on Design Space too. Looking forward to following your other lessons and learn some more!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi. Is it posible to do projects with a cell phone?

My husband got me my cricut maker 5 yrs ago and I was to scared to try it till now thank. You for your help
Yay! I am glad you are finally using it!
I was watching live when you did this right after Christmas. It was so helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
@@JenniferMaker home page
I watched this whole video! You are by far the easiest person to listen to on the subject of the cricut! I feel like I just unopened my cricut with a friend! ha ha Thank you
Wow, thank you!
I’m so excited to just see you opening a new machine!! I get a little giddy!!
It's fun to open new toys! I totally also just watched myself unbox it again before I realized I had already done that and maybe I should go do something else, like work on the next lesson. LOL
Me too! 😆
Oh my God I freaking love you. Hi am so overwhelmed. I don’t know where to begin. I don’t know what to get. I am clueless. You are absolutely amazing.
You got this! 😊🌻
Hi, thank you for this, it’s good to see you can make short simple steps to progress! I just wanted to ask, can I set up the cricut on my apple laptop as well as my iPad? I envisage mostly using my iPad, but I wondered if it would be easier to design projects/download pictures on my laptop to use, but once I have projects and fonts it may be easier to use my iPad.
Yes you can! 💗
BRAVO!!! What an excellent video. You explained the process thoroughly with simplicity! I purchased my Cricut Maker today and watched your video to assist me with setup…and I printed my first paper cut lips 😁. Thanks a million Jennifer 😊
So glad it was helpful! 💗
Thank you Jennifer for helping me with unboxing my Cricut Maker, I'm very excited and ready to start my projects (wedding and graduation gifts) for my family.....LOVE your videos
Wonderful! Thank you so much! 😃❤️
Thank you soooo much Jannifer, so helpful.
I will receive my first cricut maker machine in two days. I found your lesson absolutely 💯 % useful. I can't wait to start my projects with you.
You are so welcome! 💜
Thanks for this tutorial. I am new to the Cricut Maker and was able to connect it easily with your concise tutorial.
You are so welcome! 💜
This is so wonderful. Thank you for making it so easy for me to get started on any device. Highly recommended, 5 star !
Glad it helped!❤️
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, this is wonderful. I bought this maker about a year ago & have been stumped everytime I tried to use it. First, Walmart didn't send it work a power cord, then I just couldn't get it to connect to my device but thanks to you, I've got it started. Yaaay!
Glad it was helpful!
I just bought my machine yesterday. This is so helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!😊🌻
You give me hope!!! Being a mixed media creator producing a wide range of items I purchased a cricut 3 yrs ago so…..super excited to say good bye to endless hours spent making handwritten display signs, tags, cleaning & care into, pricing tags, earring cards etc. etc. I’m never happy with the what results as they never match the quality to compliment my creations😢 after receiving I began the process of learning how to use However,,,, my excitement evaporated after several months of watching video after video trying to understand how to create from app to design what I wanted. I am a lil Tex-NO-challenged granted! Let me say I am “NOT” a quitter it’s generally not in me to give up BUT after a year passed canva videos finally killed me! Sadly after over dosing on frustration and videos my daughter now has my cricut 😢😢 I still have the canva app and have managed to learn some basic skills yet remain overwhelmed each time I attempt a project. My stumbling block has always been and remains one simple huge issue which is that I work on iPad and I promise you 90% of videos made to explain are from computers that “always” appear with different screen choices than my iPad shows!!! It’s madding every time I come so close to getting it…..wait, what, oops I don’t see that part on my pad! This is a more than not reoccurring happenstance that I wish were NOT! If video creators would consider to also include options for iPad users it sure would change my world of abilities. Maybe it’s just me but surly I can’t be the only one out here with this stumbling woe for learning??? Somebody say it ant so!!!!!! Oh well until then a girl can dream someday there will be how to videos crested for iPad users Thank you for sharing your skills and maybe if I watch enough of you I just might ask for my cricut back😂 God bless

I am very grateful for your video, I bought a maker and have no idea what to do first. Cant wait for the next one :)
Yay! I'm so glad you find it helpful! 💗
Jennifer. thanks so much for the three lessons. I just got my new Cricut maker. I had viewed your lessons prior to it arriving in the mail. I am so thankful I did. I guess they no longer make the welcome book in English. I received two books and both were in foreign languages. Your tutorials help me get set up and started.
You are so welcome!
Finally!! someone told me where the paper goes! I've been searching all over. I wanted to know how much space I needed to have to set it up - once I get it. Thank you!!!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!😊🌻

I just purchased my Cricut Maker 3 today (online). I am excited and worried at the same time because this is my very first Cricut. Thankfully, I came across your video so I feel a little bit confident on setting this up once I receive it. Thank you and lots of thank you again. 😊
