I'm so excited to be sharing some more beginner-friendly Cricut projects with you! I'm also showing you how to use Cricut Design Space that you can download for free.
A HUGE thank you to Cricut for sponsoring today's video and for sending me some of the supplies I crafted with in this video. You've seen me use it all over on my channel - so I'm excited to dive in and share more with you!

Cricut currently offers 3 different machines at three different price points and capabilities:
the Cricut Joy: shrsl.com/2rh77
Cuts 50+ materials, including iron-on, cardstock, vinyl, paper, and Smart Materials™ - super-easy, super-long cuts without a cutting mat
You do need special mats for this size and you can't cut as wide of decals as you can on the machine I showed. I have a Joy, but I use it as a companion to my Explore Air 2.
Cricut Explore Air 2: shrsl.com/2rh79
Cuts 100 materials - everything from cardstock, vinyl, and iron-on to a range of specialty materials.
For a beginner, this is what I'd recommend to get the most bang for your buck.
Cricut Maker: shrsl.com/2rh7b
Cuts 300+ materials, from the most delicate fabric and paper to matboard and leather
If you plan to cut more difficult materials (like wood), while this is more expensive, it could be worth it. I don't have a Maker, but I would love to get one eventually!

I love the way you have circled the things you are about to click with your mouse. In all other videos I have seen the mouse clicks and points all were too fast and I could not see all of them. Thank you so very very much for thinking of us. You are awesome.
Glad you enjoy it!
I feel like I’m so late to the whole Cricut thing. I’m watching so many of your videos old and new. You show up on my feed daily.
You're not late, you are right on time! Glad you found my videos to help you get crafting :)
The lil' rolling pins are too precious, I wish I could find some like this
They are in the unfinished wood section of Hobby Lobby :)
I LOVE the way you actually explain out the process! Most of all the Cricut how to type videos I've watched aren't very helpful at all😫 I'd Absolutely love to see more Cricut how to videos from you!!!😉
Awesome, I have two coming up before the end of March for sure! What do you want help with? One of them will be answering common questions, I'd love to know how I can help!
I think I will try the little rolling pins next. Thank you so much. ♥️
I love the Home sign!!!!!!
My husband just got me this for Christmas. Work has been so wild i haven't been able to get it out of the box. Watching your video this morning I want to skip work and stay home and play lol thanks for all the inspiration!
Hi Whitney, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your Channel. I just purchased my Cricut machines, heat press and supplies . I am excited about learning to create items you've demonstrated. I think your items are Classy, Beautiful and speak to the heart! Thank you.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that! 🥰
Hi Whitney they all turned out great and very cute 👍 TFS have a great evening stay safe and God Bless.
Being a new Cricut Joy owner, my biggest challenge is navigating the Cricut design space so your videos on Cricut use are so helpful. Thanks so much. Also, loved all the sayings you made for this video.
Thank you so much for always teaching i mean really teaching what you are making. There aren't a lot of RUclipsrs that go through step by step processes.for the Cricut like you do. I love the things you make and that they look high end and on a budget. I like that you don't just use dollar tree items. Have a great week and thank you for what you do.
Loved everything that you made! Thank you so much for the explanation , I'm new and I do need to make some income, lost my job as a nurse and...I'm on my 50 , no easy to find a job.
Again, thank you so very much!!
You got this!
I am so glad someone is doing cricut crafts for beginners. I got my circut for Christmas and haven’t been able to do much. Now I am excited, these crafts are perfect for me. I loved them. Hope you do more cricut crafts.
I really appreciate you taking the time to make videos like this. Please sharing when you make your holiday rolling pins. I would like to learn to make svg files. Thanks for sharing
So glad to know I’m not the only one who struggles with thin fonts.
Yes please, I would love to see seasonal rolling pins. Thank you for these great tip and tricks. Stay safe my friend 🙂❤️
Thank you so much. I just got a Cricut machine and I am so nervous to use it but you helped me to push myself :)
You can do it!
OK..now I am addicted to your site...Thank YOU
Glad you enjoy it!
Every time you say you are using sandpaper to rough up...I laugh. Hahaha. Also I would like to be included on the friends list when you start making those signs. You know I'm your girl! Haha!
Deal!
Thank you! You are amazing! I am a total cricket newbie and your videos have been so helpful! Thank you so much!
Happy to help!
Yes please. I would love it if you would share your seasonal projects with the rolling pins. Thank you for sharing Whitney! I love your channel.
Hi Whitney, thank you so much for doing this! My husband bought me the original Circut 16 years ago, right after we got married, then he bought me a Maker in August and I'm intimidated to use it. It's so different than using a cartridge, but your video really helped. I'd love to see more Cricut videos from you for sure. I'm not very computer literate, so that adds to my intimidation. I'm going to get it out of the box and get going. Thank you again!
You can do it Sarah! Practice helps, the more I use it, the more comfortable I become :)
Thank you for sharing. Would like to see more videos like this. Just got my crucit for Christmas. Thanks Whitney.
Love that sign it is beautiful
Thank you for any help you can give for the cricut. I also got one for Christmas but am a little nervous about using design space. I also love all the quotes you used..
You are so welcome!
Whitney do you have a video showing how you design a decal yourself to be uploaded into design space to cut?! That is something I would really love to learn 😊 I am very new to cricut and honestly just made my first sign today 🎉❣
I have a video on how I make my files here: ruclips.net/video/o4cyV3uM4zQ/видео.html As far as uploading, I just add it in like a regular SVG/PNG file. I hope that helps!
Thank you so much for these Cricut tutorials. For all of us that are new to Cricut and intimidated you take time to explain each step. I have done a few projects but struggle with my transfer tape not lifting my vinyl. I have tried light,medium and hard pressure and it doesn't lift. THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH!!!!!
What brand are you using? Are you using a scraper to really push it down?
@@Whiskeyandwhit The cricut brand. Yes I use my scrapper that came with my cricut. I am determined to try again. When I watch everyone it looks so easy and looks like hardly no pressure. Maybe I am using too much pressure LOL. I just got an Easy Press for Christmas and have done a kids t shirt and ready to do more. Thank you for replying.
I do not own a Cricut, but I still enjoyed watching. :) I make the rolling pins using the DT rub on transfer words. I used Joy, Grace, etc for Christmas gifts. I like I can play with other methods and maybe one day I'll be blessed with a Cricut. 🙏
Yes that's a great idea! I love those rub ons!
Watching again 😉 I've owned my Cricut for a little over 2 months now and having lots of fun with it!
Hi Whitney, I was wondering if you can do a "favorite fonts" video for some of your favorite fonts you love to use for Cricut projects around your home and as gifts? I love your projects and the style and would love to know your opinion on which ones are your favorites.
Yes!!! This would be a great video! I would love to know too :)
That's a great idea! I'll add that to the list :)
Love you video on the cricut. My husband got me one for Christmas Your video is very slow and educational. Plaster do more cricut videos
I love how you explained this video!! Thank you 🙏🏻☺️
Tfs your tips on using the Cricuit!
Please share your seasonal designs for these rolling pins. They are precious!!!
I absolutely love watching you create 🙏❤️
My husband just bought me one for 22 anniversary this past Saturday January 30. Thank you for the video
Thank you for the tutorial. Could you do one showing how to help with the Joy. It has been a struggle to get use to it.
Sure thing! I just got one, so I'll add that to the list!
Love your cricut videos Whit keep them coming please ma'am

Express
You make it look so easy Whitney! Loved all of the items. I have a Cricket but I am hesitant on getting started. Gonna try these ideas. Thank you!
I have had cricut maker for a couple of years but I still enjoyed seeing your projects. They are beautiful
Thank you for posting this video. I just ordered a Cricut Air. Your video was helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You Whitney, I;m usinf mt Cricut for the first time and learned lot this morning thank you so much
New subscriber here!! This was my first video I saw of yours and I loved it!!!
Welcome!!
Love it finally a DIYer that doesn’t jus do Farmhouse or Dollar Tree DIYs.... I love Dollar Tree I’m so poor a $5 item is considered luxury to me however a person can only tak so much farmhouse DIYs done in every way by everyone possible that u start hate that decor same w dollar tree it’s great that it’s cheap n all but seriously when u recreate the diy it looks cheap or breaks soon after!!! I would rather get scrap wood n make something u know!!!!!
Also can u do some cozy rustic DIYs for diff rooms of ur house???
Yes! I have a ton of ideas for this year, so more things coming :)
Oh, Whitney, thank you so much for this! I got my Cricut for my birthday last October. I have set it up, and I cut a heart and some letters out of paper, but the vinyl is what I am really wanting to do. Your creativity and straightforward manner are things I have loved about watching your channel. This video is perfect for me right now, and I can't wait to make some signs! Thank you also for your generous gift of access to your cut files for free. You are such a light! Bless you and your little family during this coming year! Thank you again ❤
So glad you enjoyed it!!
I wasn't able to access the free download
Thank you so much. I got a Cricut and still haven’t tried it. Your tutorial really helped. Time to bring it out and give it a try. Thanks for making it look so easy, I feel more confident 😁
Glad it was helpful - you can do it!
Loved this video. My Mom got a Cricut Maker last year for us to share. I don't get to see her everyday, so I'm still trying to learn how to use it myself so I can teach her. I am wanting to learn how to do address labels so I can make them for her.
Thanks! Need to watch it all over again- helpful tips too!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Do you have a video where you share what your living room looks like with all your diy creations? It would be cool to see how it all fits together. I have no creative side when it comes to putting it all together.
Hi Amy! I don't have that as a video, but I share a lot of my home and how it's styled over on my instagram page :) @WhiskeyandWhit
I'm so glad you're doing these Cricut videos...love all the projects. No Hobby Lobby here yet, but there will be in May of this year! Woohoo! Can't wait! 🥳 Thin fonts can be difficult for sure. Patience is definitely key with weeding them. I would definitely like to see what you do seasonally with the rolling pins. They are so cute. Looking forward to more great Cricut diy's, tips and hacks! 😊💕
I loved this video! I have an Etsy shop and use a Silhouette Cameo but this video would definitely convince me that Cricut is where it’s at! :) A quick tip: if you only have glossy vinyl, you can cover the whole project in matte modpodge 👌🏻
That's awesome! I've never used Silhouette, but I love my Cricut. What is your Etsy shop, I'd love to check it out! :)
@@Whiskeyandwhit it’s FoxDenDecals :) thanks for replying! 💙
Everything’s nice, very cute I have a cricut and have had one for 3 years I don’t use it that much, it intimidates me.
This was so helpful. I have had my Cricut for 24 hours and I am soaking up all the tips I can. Thanks so much!!
Haven't even watched it all yet but wanted to tell you THANK YOU for sharing your ideas and expertise with us!😘😘😘
LOL… Janice Vail ,
I promise I did not even look at comments and you and I basically wrote the same thing… LOL
I am so excited to watch this video I wish I could stop everything right now! :-)
You are so welcome!
Thank for uploading this video, it has inspired me to do more!
Love Love all of these Beautiful things
You can also re-use transfer tape once or twice if you are on a budget!
Totally!
I loved all of them!! The canister was genius because I totally do that at hobby lobby...
Loved all your projects ... thank you for the downloads💞 Can you tell me the script front and the skinny font that you used for your cut files?
skinny is Brittany and script is called Glacial Indifference :)
Thanks so much for your tutorial..it was GreA+! 🤗
Omg, I'm loving all this farm house/ country vibe!!! We need more 😆 Thank you so much for these amazing videos.
Glad you like them!
I recycle candle jars, spray paint them, and put wording on them with my Cricut! I hate to pitch them...some are so nice with lids! I did bee rolling pins...they turned out so cute! I used a beehive and bees, painted the rolling pins yellow and black and tied a black checked ribbon on one of the handles!
Great Info. Maybe I'll get a Cricut someday.
I enjoyed this...I received a Joy for Christmas and I'm slowly learning how to use it.
It would be so awesome if you could share how to create your own stuff and then download it to Cricut design. Thank you for sharing.
You're in luck - I shared that here: ruclips.net/video/o4cyV3uM4zQ/видео.html
Whiskey & Whit Thank you!
I'm a newbie and this tutorial is what exactlyI've been looking for. Great help for beginners like me. Thank you so much!❤️
Thank you. Your ideas are always great.
Glad you like them!
This is one of the best beginner “lessons” I’ve seen Whitney. Thanks for taking the time to put this all together for us Cricut newbies. (I’ve had other Cricuts but never one to use with DS....I had the “old” kind that you used with cartridges. DS is definitely new to me.) Would love to see what you put together for baby gifts especially as well as the different ideas for the mini rolling pins. Thanks for all the inspiration! 🤗

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much Whitney! Like you said, I received my Cricut over the holidays & have been too intimidated to take it out of the box. I appreciate you showing how simple it can be to use the software & the tips & tricks you shared. Maybe I will try this weekend🙂
Awesome, be sure to send a photo if you make some stuff! :)
Thank you 🌹
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!
I just love all the projects you do! Please keep doing these kinds! You make me actually look forward to decorating my new home!
Thank you so much!
I get my cricket next Wednesday. Can’t wait to start making Farmhouse decor. Thanks for the advice and pointers.❤️
Love this thanks so much. Haven't done the stencil yet, but u made it seem less intimidating ty
Thank you for this video my son gave me a Cricut Exploret Air 2 for Christmas and I haven't started to use it yet, I'm waiting to get my DIY space ready so I can set it up and start using my Cricut. This video is so helpful thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank You for the video. I love all your projects. I have a Cricut Explore Air 2 and a Cricut Joy. Please share the seasonal projects with the rolling pins.
Love all of these DIY's. Thank you for the free file downloads
Thank you so much for the files! I love them so much. I’ll definitely be recommending you. :)
You're so welcome - I'm so glad you like them!
Love all of these ideas. I'm still trying to navigate Design Space, but I love it. I remember having the old Cricut and spent a lot of money on cartridges. I have the Air 2 now and love that everything is online. I too struggle with thin fonts and measuring. Thanks for the tips.
I love that things are online too!
So helpful Whitney! Great tutorial and beautiful diys. 🥰
What a huge help this was. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain thoroughly what you did. I absolutely love your home wood round piece. Beautiful job!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for all the tips. I can’t wait til I am able to get my own Cricut.
I can’t thank you enough for this video! You make that burlap bow look so easy! I got a Silhouette in November to try and make etched glass baking dishes and a trifle dish for Christmas gifts but I got extremely discouraged when I couldn’t get the vinyl weeded without stretching out the design and letters. :( But youve inspired me to give it another try!
You can do it! I've messed up projects too, so don't get to frustrated :)
@@Whiskeyandwhit Thank you for the encouragement! You’re too kind!
So glad to see this video today it helped me alot. Thank you for sharing! God bless you and your family!
I got a Cricut for Christmas last year. Love all the projects. Very informative!❤️💖💜
These are great! I am really glad you made this! I struggle with weeding! But I keep trying!
Love your videos!
Love everything!!!!❤️
You do such a good job on everything! I look forward to seeing you every week! 😊
thanks for the video ive watched several that just made it seem so confusing and I really want to start using my cricut! The stuff you make is really cute. Congrats on the new marriage!
Would love to see seasonal rolling pins too! :)
Love the wreath .. so beautiful , I’m gonna make one of those ..tfs hun !!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you for doing this...I got a Cricut for Christmas and I have been playing around with it. I used it to make a baby picture frame and baby milestone markers. I love these ideas and they would make great wedding gifts. I have had so much trouble with fonts and I tried using the Dollar Tree clear contact paper as transfer tape...it works some of the time, but not with these thin letters. I also got an easy press, but have not taken that out of the box yet. So much I want to do, but projects take me awhile because I am new and have issues sometimes.
You can do it! Once you get in some practice, it will get easier!
