I put the sticky part of the mat under the machine and lay the plastic on the door. Easy to position the plastic without touching the mat, and once you are sure, push down.
The easiest way to store my mats and keep the cover on them. I have a command strip hook medium size. I have it on the back side of the door. You simply place the mat the hook first and then the clear cover, it will fall into place every time.
The tumbler holder. I use a small pool noodle I cut 2 identical sizes. I placed a rubber band at the top and bottom to hold them together. Works good with cup/tumblers
Angie, I trust your instincts!! You are the expert I truly trust!!! You've never steered me wrong yet!!!
Oh my gosh-the yardstick hack is a GAMECHANGER!! I had been using the arm of my office chair when cutting 12x24-a yardstick will work MUCH better!!😊
Glad it was helpful!
The heat gun and a
cardstock upside down tips were new and sound like good tips to me. Thanks 😊
Thank you Angie for mentioning that smart vinyl can be challenging. For years I have thought it was just my failure. It has been one reason I have hesitated on upgrading and purchasing the maker 3.
Get the Maker 3 you will love it! 😊
Also, you may have to use non-Cricut materials like I do to get the results you want..
It had gotten soooo much better over the years but I still have some old stuff to work through!
Why people try to make their crafting experience difficult. Tried & true methods & products for me.
Hubby bought pvc pipe, joints and pipe insulation to make my cup holder. Its awesome and cost less than $8 to make. We had enough insulation for more. You can also grab a pool noodle from dollar tree, in place of insulation, if you want to save more money.
That is awesome!
I enjoy watching your channel. Keep posting.
I appreciate that!
Love the yardstick hack! My cricut is on a small table with not much area in front of it.
Wonderful!
Hi, sounds to me like the smart vinyl is the problem, not necessarily the different transfer tapes. I think I'll stick to my 12" wide vinyl.
Thank you for showing all of the hacks and your opinions
I really love your videos! You’re so thorough and honest ❤️
Thank you so much!!
I saw somewhere else about putting the mat in the slot on the Maker to line up the mat and have been doing that a while now. It really helps me. I'm terrible at lining things up! I will definitely try the heat gun on the vinyl. Especially the smart vinyl. I always have trouble with that. Thank you for testing these out!
Thank you Angie. Loved watching this video, and I love the cardstock one the best!!!
Thanks so much 😊
I've been doing #2 for years on my Maker & it works like a charm every time!!! 🥰 I also made a cup holder for under $10 w/PVC pipe & pool noodles.
That is awesome!
Can you share a pic of your holder?
Love the yardstick idea. Thanks for testing for us.
Any time!
Thanks for the heat gun hack! Cricut strong grip transfer tape always gives me a hard time!! Love your videos.
Happy to help!
Hopefully you make a video with hacks actually work is more productive and time saving
I have several but start here: ruclips.net/video/jk8JXTYQJxc/видео.html
I like to see the fails as well as the good ones because you know when you see it or think of trying it you know if it will work or not!!!
Thanks for sharing this.
My pleasure!
I should try the yardstick. I've used the empty vinyl rolls underneath and they usually gers pushed off the table by the mat. Sometimes, I I put my brayer under and that works
Thanks for trying the hacks on our behalf.
Thanks for sharing these hacks Angie. Now I know what works and what doesn't. There are a ton of hacks out there, just have to find the ones that work for us. Or like Linda says stick with the tried and true methods. Either way have fun crafting!!
So true!
New sub from UK .I do like the the card up-sidedown hack . Love your Bright green Explora 2 .I have a Yellow one ..got him 3 years ago. that all I have . Happy craftingxxxxxx
That is a good one!
I use the sticky lint roller successfully, although sometimes it is too sticky and I have to dull it down. In fact, on the label of the roller it shows this hack!
I could NOT get it to work!!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Just got a heat gun. Have been struggling with my smart vinyl so anxious to try the heat gun on next project
Hope it works!
Awesome to see the face behind the emails 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️hi
Yay! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing the hacks. Perhaps you could help me with a problem I just ran into. I used transparent printable sticker vinyl and printed several stickers with an offset to make sure I didn't have any small areas to weed. But I could not get them to release off the transfer tape. I didn't try the heat and perhaps that would have worked. But any suggestions could really help.
I usually don't use transfer tape with printable sticker papers. You can try making it less sticky by sticking it to your shirt before use.
I use painters tape
Ty for sharing i do have or use tik tok
No problem 😊
Hi Angie is there a way to do tumblers.
Are you asking for the glowforge? There is not!
Using a lint roller as transfer tape does not work with Cricut vinyl. I have used it successfully with oracle vinyl. I actually used this method to decorate tiles on a bathroom floor. 😊
Thanks for the info!
OMG YHE HEATING GUN!
Wow a lint roller
How can you use your cutting machine on a shelve against a wall?
For me, I pull them off to use them as I need to film them during use. So the setup works for me.
I am trying to print your free full wrap design for a mug, I have an Epson 170 but when I try to load the 8.5 x14 paper, the paper is too large for the tray.and hangs out. Can you help?
I think the tray hanging out is okay on that printer. I have so many printers it is hard to keep it straight but I think that is the way it works with that one.
What heat gun do you use?
I have tried many and they all work about the same. The low temp one is made for embossing.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your results of these hacks!
Glad you like them!
