Cutting a Puzzle on Basswood with the Cricut Maker 3
I got this basswood (10″x10″) from Michaels today and went ahead and gave it a go. It cut like a hot knife blade through butter using the default Cricut setting for 1/16th Basswood. No need for added pressure and no need for more passes after the 14 in the Cricut material preset. I got 11 […]
Playing with Simple Shapes in Cricut Design Space: Emojis
I was making a video of how I made the smiley face, and then I got to going and ended up with a set of emojis. ? I have to redo my video, though, because I realized the sound dropped out half-way through, so I’m thinking of adding one or two more emojis to the […]

Playing With Shapes in Cricut Design Space: Roscoe
I fiddled around with shapes, slice and weld to see what I could do to make a character. I call him Roscoe. He got a little better-looking each time, but he won’t be dating any time soon! ? Check out his button-down, y’all. He thinks he’s cute! I probably need to think about making him […]
Playing with Simple Shapes in Cricut Design Space: Puzzle Piece
I fiddled with making puzzle pieces in Design Space. I wish there was a “snap to” feature in Design Space, so that when you put corners next to each other, they’d snap in place. I was thinking it would take half the time to cut the puzzle, because only half the pieces would need to […]
