    Love the tip for using strong grip on the back of felt to save your mats.
    In addition to weeding on the mat, use the clear protective sheet to cover the unused portion of the mat to avoid your arm/hand from resting on the sticky. So much more comfortable, especially for tricksy weeding.

    I always learn something good when I watch your videos even though I’ve been Cricuting for several years. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. With tip # 10 (laminating a cheat sheet), I have switched to putting the sheets in sheet protectors rather than laminating them. Invariably, updates are made and if they are in a sheet protector I can just pull that page out and put the new one in it’s place.

      Scotch makes pocket or pouch laminate squares, too.. for easy updates? You don't have to seal them to use them. I have one of those carabiners with three rings on them and I use those to cycle things like notes in and out. Or try on for a while before deciding their permanent or not. And chalk pens. Those are all over my house for kids, hubby, ect.. mirrors, windows, anything with a smooth washable surface

    When cutting cardstock, especially textured cardstock, put it on the mat with the texture side face down, mirror your cut and use the intricate cut for cardstock setting. Cutting from the back side of your project makes the cuts so much cleaner.

What about the glitter cardstock would that be the same way then? and what setting do you put yours on to cut that kind of cardstock

    Great tips! I just got a brayer for Christmas and I love it! I also use parchment paper to put on the back of stencils I use for etching. Cut in the middle and place each piece of parchment on each side of the stencil. Then, place stencil, and working from the middle, pull one side of the parchment paper back as you press down the stencil, then do the other side. Keeps your designs straight and helps get your vinyl on the etching project without any errors!

    My hack is to maximize material by not weeding parts away into the trash - I use transfer tape and carefully separate the "positive" from the "negative" of whatever I made. Let's say I want to put a text label on my cabinet to tell me what's in it. The text is the positive piece. The negative piece, a rectangle with letters cut out of it, can be placed on something else OR become a stencil.

    I learned about burnishing the underside of a decal if it's being difficult and won't release from the backing and stick to the transfer tape. Just flip over the backing where the green Cricut grid is printed and burnish that side. Easy cheesy! Also, instead of the strong grip tape, I have put painters tape on the backs of things to keep them from gunking up my mats, or if I'm writing on an envelope and don't want the flap to stick to the mat, I just put down a piece of painter's tape where the flap is so the mat doesn't stick to the part you're supposed to lick to seal the envelope. My craft room would not run without painter's tape 😂

    I have wanted a cricut since they came out, what? 20 yrs ago? Idk. But never got one. 1 month after the Maker 3 comes out (i had no idea) the bf buys me one! So excited! And in the fashion of me 🙄 i spend 500 hrs over researching EVERYTHING before really trying to use it. And thank God! Especially for you! I had already started to make a cheat sheet when i ran across your video..may still buy it. So far i love your stuff!
