Very well done, Angie! Your product test videos are smart, thorough, complete, to the point, and entertaining. You're my go-to when I'm wondering if this or that is something I want to try.
Hi Angie - thank you so much for this tutorial. You have just saved me a lot of money. I did not know that you could only write on the smart vinyl and also the mat requirements.
I have a Maker and for Christmas received a Cricut Joy which I am using to create labels for my containers as I am reorganising my craft room. Vinyl is a whole new learning curve for me so once again thank you - I love your videos - Catherine
Thanks for all your tips. Right now I only have the label vinyl for the Joy. I may try the clear, as you can use any color pen with it.
Great idea!
Great experiment! I finally made labels with my Joy and it worked great.
I use clear over the pen and label. Sharpies tend to stay better too.
Hm. I've been using Sharpies on regular Cricut vinyl. I'm not sure if I'll be investing in this, but I'm glad to know it's available. Thanks, Angie! Another great video!
Do Sharpies come in white?
@@peggyward3573 Actually, they do. Search for white Sharpie, and you'll see their options.
@@SVGTuts Have you tried a silver on the black? I've used the silver markers on black cardstock, but not on labels.
@@maggypye4529 I haven't tried the silver, but I actually do have a couple of silver Sharpies. I'm going to try it and see what it looks like. I think I have gold, too. I have to check. Thanks for asking.
Always love your videos, Angie.
Thank you
Thanks for the excellent demo and tips! Very cool 💕
You are so welcome!
As always, great informational video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the tips. It really really helps margaret from ireland
Happy to help!
Can you do a video on the special paper that you print on, then stick it on clay then wash it under the tap and the image stays on? Theres only reels on instagram and no youtube videos explaining it
Thank you Angie for another great video, it all looks great thank you for sharing!!! Hugs liz x
Another Great and interesting tutorial! I've seen in several of your videos you mention moving the star wheels. Could you explain why and how do we know when to move them? Thank you. Have a blessed week!
Sometimes Cricut Design Space will tell you to move them when you go to cut. Otherwise, anything that is thick definitely move them as they will drag. Secondly, anything that they may marr or make a mark on needs to be moved. I actually move mine out of the way and often forget to move them back!
@@AngieHolden I didn't know this so thank you very much!
Hi Angie. What if after Cricut is done writing, we would hit Pause for 1 to 2 minutes, b4 continuing on, to see if giving it a chance to dry would help with the smearing?? Would you give that a try & then let us know?? Thanks much from Glenda Kanoudi!!
It actually smeared as it was writing so I don't think that would work.
I wonder if with the black smart vinyl that it would be better to use a mat and then see how the opaque pen works, might be that the vinyl tends to lift as it is printing.
That could definitely be causing the issue but I also don't want to waste an inch off of the sides!
@@AngieHolden I think you could cut the length to 11" so you would have a piece 11"x12" (or cut to any length) and turn the material to put it on the mat, no wasted inch. You wouldn't be able to use it as a roll but it should work just like using any piece of material you cut to fit a project
Can you do print then cut of an image on the writable vinyl permanent.
No you can only write with pens not print on it. They make a printable vinyl.
Angie, what do you suggest using for address labels? I have been using the smart sticker paper cardstock on my Joy, but it is so thick.
I use printable vinyl but you can't do print then cut with a Joy.
Can I cut the smart label material in my cricut joy? I didn't buy the joy size and am now wondering if I can just cut it a day use it?
Sure! If you bought the larger version just cut it down and put it on the mat.
Since your so good at research can you please tell me which should I get, the Cricut mug press or the PYD heat press? which would do more and work on more materials including sublimation?
The PYD press is more expensive but it does have a wider range of options. It just depends on how often you will be using it and what you will be making.
wondering if you could laminate them so they will be water proof?
I have not tried.
They now have smart labels in other colors for the Joy!
I knew it would be soon! HA!
great teaching video
Glad you think so!
@@AngieHolden you are welcome honey
Thanks. Using smart material is so much waisted of vinyl considering how expensive it is no my first choice
Great point!
I am wanting to make a kitchen conversion chart out of black vinyl with white lettering for the inside of my daughter's kitchen cabinet. Is that possible and how do I go about doing it?
I have one I made with a black wood piece and added vinyl to it then mounted to the inside of my cabinet door.
Yue mentioned you went to Images to select the labels, some have layers. Can you explain a little more? I have the smart label material for my joy.
Click images in Cricut Design Space and search for "label" then pick one you like. You can change layers to pen layers like I did here or delete off layers if needed.
The idea of smart material is good.. just the practical side is a bit less!! Smaller pieces still have to be cut on a mat anyway and the backer is a nightmare ..has a mind of its own😂! I have a couple of small rolls for the Joy, which I use for sentiments, which I buy when they are on sale and I mean sale as in at least 50% off otherwise it’s way too expensive, otherwise I steer clear of anything Smart.
They actually improved the material after the Joy was released. So the new Smart Materials are better.
Thanks for the video. Is there a label that you like better than Cricut?
I do printable vinyl a lot actually!
Question what is the difference between circut explorer and maker
Try this: ruclips.net/video/klIfv9JYyhg/видео.html
What would be the difference between this product and say a printable sticker material?
Gosh. Depends on which sticker material you buy and what you are making really!
Are the labels ok to be used as stickers if not what can I get for stickers hun xx.
You can use these as stickers if you want this look with the writing on them.
Do you recommend the new gel pens for use in the Joy?
I didn't get the Joy version just because they didn't have the black Joy material when I ordered.
Nice information.
i like this video😄
Can we use the Cricut Smart Label for the Joy on a Maker?
You would have to put it on a mat.
@@AngieHolden what material do you select, smart label doesn’t come up on the selection list for the maker.
I feel like this is an ad for cricut.
I HATE the smart label. It feels sticky to the touch and after a while the black cricut pen printing fades to a purplish color.
I purchased printable adhesive paper off Amazon and used my inkjet printer to make pantry labels. Can’t say if it’s waterproof but the results are much more professional. Don’t waste your money on the cricut smart label.
This is my honest opinion as are all of my videos.
What a waste of money and time if they are not waterproof
Also, if you use Mod Podge spray, it will seal the label so that the pen does not come off and it will make it waterproof
