Hi! I have been following you for a while now and am loving your tutorials! Can you tell me about how long the freshies should last in a sealed bag? I am making a bunch up for stocking stuffers and don't want to make them too soon. Thank you!!
The longest I’ve personally tested is 3 months. Some oils/scents may not hold up as well though so I would say if possible try to stay between the 6-8 wk mark 👍🏼
The one I have is a little bigger than I would like it to be (4 in). I think 3-3.5 would be perfect. I make my cardstock in different sizes depending on how much of the freshie edge I want showing so typically for my 4 in circle my cardstock can be anywhere between 3-3.75 inches
I have followed all your instructions to the T however after scanning it says it can not find images to cut! I am using white printable Glitter cardstock..any other suggestions?
Hi there! So this was filmed almost a year ago and design space really loves changing things up 🙄 so if you click on basic cut you should now see an option that says “print then cut” that’s what you want to click….it doesn’t say standard anymore. Let me know if you don’t have that option either and I will look into it further to see if I can figure out what else it could be. The program itself should be the same even though you are on Mac.
Hi There! I’ve recently taken a shot at making freshies and your videos have been an immense help. I’ve been running into an issue with my mica powder though and I was wondering if you could please give me some advice? The approach I’ve used is adding mica powder to my beads after they’ve sat. The problem I’m running into is that by doing that they end up having a powdery appearance rather than a shiny look to them. I would like for my beads to have a shiny appearance like many of the ones I’ve seen and bought. Do you have any recommendations on how to get that shiny appearance? Thank you in advance!!
Yes ma’am!! You can get it at Walmart, not all locations carry it but you can order it from them online as well, link is below 😊 www.walmart.com/ip/Pen-Gear-White-Glitter-Card-Stock-Paper-8-5-x-11-104-lb-10-Sheets/643084996
It depends. If the previous scent in that jar is similar to the new one I won’t bother washing but if I’m mixing a masculine scent and the jar had a fruity scent before then I wash it. Sometimes my empty jars sit with the lid off for a while and by the time I need it again I can no longer smell the previous scent, when that happens I don’t wash it either.
I've run into a problem with the machine not cutting the image out correctly how do I adjust this? It's around the edges where it cut off part of the circle or trim around the design How can I fix that Please Help Me!! thanks
I just use hot glue. If you want it on the smooth side you can also lay it down in your cutter or mold first face down and put beads over it and bake it right on.
Your videos are just great! I came across you tonight and now I am hooked! Thank you!
Thank you and welcome! Glad you found me 😊
Thank you so much! Very helpful!
You’re welcome!
Oh my goodness - thank you! I have had my cricut since February and still couldn't figure it out.
You’re welcome!! I’ve had mine for a couple years now and am still discovering new things!
Thank you, helped me out alot
Thank you!
What a great, needed, tutorial. Thank you! Please advise what weight the cardstock should be for freshies. Thanks again.
Ah I want to try this so bad!! What kind of paper did you use exactly? It’s so pretty and glittery!
Never mind! I just saw someone asked the same question 😊 thank you!
Ok ☺️
So you can print this thick paper through a regular printer? Just making sure before I stock up lol
@@chantalxox yes ma’am! I have a super basic printer and it works great, no problems!
@@FarmhouseDesigns you’re awesome! Thanks hun! :)
How did your Cricket know to cut them
can you use a regular printer to print the photos?

@@FarmhouseDesigns great! Thank you!!
Hi! Thank you for your videos. I have a question? How do I get images? I’m new to cardstocks I would like to print my own. Thank you in advance.
If you search “cardstock for freshies” on Etsy there are a lot of digital downloads for sale.
@@FarmhouseDesigns so there is no possible way to find free designs? Lol
Can you make a video on how to make the keychain freshies?
I will add it to my list of future videos!
What size of cutter is best for card stock freshies? And also, what’s the size of the card stock? Thank you!

My cricut cuts images perfect but if theres any text it cuts out the text and makes an awful mess on the mat, what am I doing wrong? TiA
I on my Mac when I go to basic cut it doesn’t give me an option for standard cut. I’m not sure what to do. Thank you

How do you store your unscented/unused aroma beads?
I just keep them in the large zipper bag they come in
How do I get my images all on one page to print. When I go to print it is splitting them into two mats. 🤦🏻♀️
You have to make sure they all fit in a 6.75 x 9.25 rectangle

You are probably adding too much mica powder!
Where are you getting your images from?
Some I create, some are digital downloads from Etsy.
@@FarmhouseDesigns how do you create them?
is that sparkly card stock if so where can i find it ?
Yes ma’am!! You can get it at Walmart, not all locations carry it but you can order it from them online as well, link is below 😊

Do you wash your jars after every use?
It depends. If the previous scent in that jar is similar to the new one I won’t bother washing but if I’m mixing a masculine scent and the jar had a fruity scent before then I wash it. Sometimes my empty jars sit with the lid off for a while and by the time I need it again I can no longer smell the previous scent, when that happens I don’t wash it either.
@@FarmhouseDesigns Thank you! You’ve been so much help. 😊
@@monicamontenegro1839 you’re welcome, anytime!
I've run into a problem with the machine not cutting the image out correctly how do I adjust this? It's around the edges where it cut off part of the circle or trim around the design How can I fix that Please Help Me!! thanks
Hi maybe your machine need callibration. You can ďo that in cricut desig space. Also you can look for videos how to do it in RUclips.
How do you attach the cardstock to the beads?
I just use hot glue. If you want it on the smooth side you can also lay it down in your cutter or mold first face down and put beads over it and bake it right on.
where is your cardstock from?
When I click print, the text in my circle turns white from black how I want it.. why is it doing this? How do I fix it? Thanks!
I’ve never heard of this problem before….did you create the image yourself or was it a pre made image?
Have you made a tik tok yet? I’d love to follow you!
I do have a tiktok but I have only just started posting freshie stuff @cherishrhonda
where did you get your pictures from?
If you search freshie cardstock on Etsy you can purchase the digital downloads, I also make some of my own on Canva
