Thank you so much for this tutorial. It was so easy to follow. I just received this Cricut Explore 3 for Christmas and wanted to get started asap. I have the original Cricut but is over 15 years old. The one with the cartridges. This is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you again.
This is amazing I watched 4 videos before this one, and you covered more than them combined
Wow! So happy to be of help!

Used this to set up my Moms Christmas present. Got a feeling I’m going to be watching a bunch of these to help her out. Cheers!
Thanks for the setup video. My Mom bought this for me a few months ago for my birthday and I am just getting around to trying it out. I think I will enjoy this. On to your next video!
Yay! So glad to hear that!
Thank you for the help. Your the best!
Yassss found someone who explains it well
In your summary above, the links are reversed for the Cricut Maker (original) and the Explore 3 under Lesson 1. When I click on Cricut Maker (original) it takes me to this video for the Explore 3 (and vice versa). Just wanted to let you know. Thanks so much for such a wonderful introduction to the Cricut Maker!

Hello and how are you; I have been watching your videos for a few days and have been absolutely loving how you teach how to use the cricut devices. I will be ordering the Cricut Explorer 3 in a few days (early birthday present for myself) and I'll definitely be watching your videos to help me learn how to use everything
I'm glad you find my videos helpful! Thanks for being here🥰
Thank you so much for your easy to follow tutorial.

You are so welcome!
Thank you for helping
Thanks for watching!
so informative!
So happy to hear it was helpful!💗
You mentioned a video showing things to make with the 3 sheets of material included with the explore 3! Where can I find that video?
Glad I found this. Just brought mine home. Thank you 😊
that is so exciting! Let me know if you have any questions🥰
@@JenniferMaker thank you. 😀
Please help!!! Just brought this and everything is working until I press the “play/cut” button - it moves and then unloads the vinyl itself and on design space the cutting stays at 0%..What do I need to do?? Thankyou xx
Whats the difference between permanent vinyl and removal vinyl? What would i use it on
Removable vinyl offers versatility and easy removal, making it ideal for temporary projects. On the other hand, permanent vinyl ensures durability and longevity, making it a great choice for long-lasting decals that can withstand the elements and washing ❤️
Hello i just bought my Cricut explore 3 and i have no idea of how to use it , and i have a question can i pair it on 2 devices , windows and android or even an ipad ? And i just found your videos and you explain everything so clear ❤. I hope i expess or write everything right my english is not so good
Yes you can!
What if the load/unload button is not blinking when it’s supposed to when doing the test cut?
Sounds like a step may be missing. You can start over again.
Excellent, clear explanation. Where is the video explaining how to use the other smart materials sent with Explore 3, please? Is it listed here somewhere?
They all work the same basically. Which ones are you interested id in? I have many projects out there that you could watch.
hi! where is the link to the projects you can make with the vinyl the explore 3 comes with? Thanks! :)

I have a question. I have a laptop that does not have Windows on it will that be a problem
The system requirements are at

Hi! Thanks for the video…can you set it up the machine on more than one device?
Yes, you can register all of your Cricut machines in the same account.
Bluetooth is a pain. It works for my Joy, but the Design Space can't find my Explore 3, even though it shows the name of it in the bar. I've tried 4 times. After I heard you say that you would normally restart you computer when you had a Bluetooth failure I did that and it worked.
Glad it worked for you!
Hi, your video was very helpful. I have the test materials but when setting up it didn’t show the test cut part? Do you know why this happened?
hmm it should have. Is your machine all set up now? If so, you should be okay!🥰
Where did you purchase the tool shed behind you? I remember you mentioning it in one of your videos but I would love to get one for myself, it looks so handy!
That is the Dream Box! It is currently on sale now. jennifermaker.com/dreambox-discount
Hello there! I have just gone through this video and set up my new Cricut Explore 3 that I received for Christmas. I am a previous Cricut user (using an old expression for over 10 years). This is the first time with any connectivity. First question I have is when using cardstock (regular 65# or 110#), do I use a mat? Will the mats I have from the expression days work in this new machine? My next question is about downloading cut files/images to cut. There may be a video for that as well or it may be in the handbook that's printing! :) I will keep searching and hopefully find the answer on my own, but thought I'd as in the meantime! Thanks so much for the video! I followed along perfectly and connected both my iMac and my iPhone!
If your material is NOT Smart material, you have to use a mat. You need to use the mats like in my video. 💕
Can you use a HP Chromebook
Cricut Design Space wasn't originally compatible with Chromebook but there are many work arounds that I've seen online.
I haven't bought my cricut yet. Can we still use the mats with the explore 3?
I've never used a machine before . I am really excited about buying my first one and can't wait to get started ..
Yes you can. Only smart materials can be used without a mat on the Explore 3. Here is a comparison. jennifermaker.com/which-cricut-should-i-buy/
I don't uderstand my Cricutmaker 3. The cutting width on the machine is 13 inches but all my vinyl is in 12 inches. I guess I didn't realiize the viny was sold in 12 inches. Now I'm stuck with a lot of vinyl I can only use with a mat. All the vinyl on Amazon is the 12" kind.
Only the smart vinyl can be used without a mat. All the other materials need to go on the mat.
I have installed my cricut explore 3 on my Android and I skipped the trial. However I don't have the option for a test cut, have I done something wrong?
the test cut only shows on the initial setup. You can always do your own test cut by putting a shape on your canvas 🥰
What did I do wrong I went through the setup and the test didn’t cut
I also tried a project and didn’t work
You may need to check with Cricut customer service if the blade and everything is set up correctly. help.cricut.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020316674-Cricut-Contact-Information
Shopping and deciding on a new machine - I have the joy which I love (my intro) and it got me hooked. Was going to get an Air 2 - other than Smart materials does the Explorer 3 do anything more? (I do not care about cutting fabric - I'm a pretty basic stuff gal.). And I HATE HATE smart materials (ok EZ to weed) from using my Joy. So not interested at all in that. Compared two the Air 2 what would be the advantage of the Maker? Not maker 3 - I don't need all that for sure. Posting on FB gets me so many different personal opinions, I just want the facts about the machines and comparison of them. Thank you. Your videos and tutorials and free things are FABULOUS!!! And as one teacher to another (I lead Bible study, taught school, teach dog obedience and give seminars, taught/teach spinning and weaving and pysanky writing) you are a very good teacher. You don't take it for granted that we "got" it or already know it. Your demo are awesome (wouldn't be doing anything in DS w/o your video - using iPad for most part.)
Thank you so much! Here is a comparison for you. jennifermaker.com/which-cricut-should-i-buy/
What is the best model for use with an ipad?
You can use all the Cricut machines that use Design Space with an up to date iPad. A computer will give you the most options.
what if its not flashing?
Go back and review the steps to see what may have been missed. Here is the entire setup process here. makeracademy.com/cricutkickoff/
I can't find lesson #2. I've looked it up with exact wording & several other wordings. So sad.
I can't either but am trying to learn I am opening mine when my new desk comes in and learning now what I can to start
I scrolled down a found a link to video 2 & 3.
Which one?
@@JenniferMaker oh Jennifer, hi thank so much for reaching out to me. That's ever so sweet of you. Srry I didn't reply till now headed out to run errands leaving my phone charging on the couch. 🥴
I actually realized that I could scroll down and click on the link for the 2nd video & 3rd one as well whoo hoo😁!
Have a blessed weekend to come.
Oh videos were of the unboxing of the Maker3. Almost A Year ago😵💫.
I have bought one just yet, I've sort of been researching it.
I do have a question can I use the cartridges from my older older circuit machine, with this Maker3 machine?
Cricut machine Air Exlpure 2 Daybreak
Glad you are here!🥰
Mines is not flashing for start button. Its only flashing to load and unload nothing else help please mines stuck on prepare to cut. What to do
I would cancel out and start over. If you are still having issue, I suggest contacting Cricut for help, help.cricut.com/hc/en-us
Hi am new and I got message that says 5USB not recommended and I am not sure what that means but I was able to go all the way to the sample cut and I loaded the smart vinyl then it was blinking I pushed it then it never did show the cut button never lit up I feel so stupied
You are not stupid! If you are using the USB cable try using a different USB port on your computer.🥰
The cutting process is not completed. How do I fix the problem ?
What do you mean? Did it stop cutting in the middle of the cut project? Here is the link to the group that you can post a photo for help. facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/
@@JenniferMaker yes it stops in the middle of cutting. Thanks for your help.
I just bought the Explore 3 and I'll have to watch this about 10x before I start using it. I don't know what I'm afraid of but it seems intimidating.
You got this! Here is the entire workshop. makeracademy.com/cricutkickoff/
Oops!!! You made a Mistake! At 24:20 you spoke about how a USB Connection is Better, however you said... "In my experience, Bluetooth is more reliable and it's faster."
Oops! Thanks for pointing that out!
Hi, your video was very helpful. I have the test materials but when setting up it didn’t show the test cut part? Do you know why this happened?
hmm it should have. Is your machine all set up now? If so, you should be okay!🥰
