Cricut Blade Holder
My first attempt at a custom blade holder. The middle piece is on upside down and backwards, and it’s leaning. Fail! There’s also another reason the blade holder is a fail. I made it for the four blades I’ve been using, but I forgot I also purchased the perforation blade and QuickSwap™ housing, even though […]
Mother’s Day Card on Cricut Maker 3
My mom’s sorority mascot is an elephant, so I found this project on Design Space and made it her Mother’s Day card. The original project used light blue and dark blue cardstock, but I changed it to red and white because those are my mom’s sorority colors. She liked it very much! ?
Magnetic Puzzle Cut on the Cricut Maker 3
I tried Cricut’s SnapMat feature last night, and it wasn’t as easy as all the YouTube videos I watched made it appear to be. I did finally get it to work, but I was sweating by the time my iPad finally snapped the mat. Whew! What I didn’t pick up on or failed to pay […]
Puzzle with Adhesive Foam Base on Cricut Maker 3
This one’s going to the nieces, because one of the pieces has a gash out of the edge, but I was happy to complete the whole thing. Photo paper from Dollar Tree on adhesive foam from Walmart for the puzzle. Cardstock from Walmart for the box. Chipboard for the puzzle piece from a puzzle that […]
Cutting Non-Adhesive Foam Sheets with the Cricut Maker 3
I’ve attached an image of the Go Create! brand foam sheet from Walmart that I cut, which does not have the adhesive on one side. From a distance, it doesn’t look like it was actually cut through at all, but if you zoom in on it you can see the cuts. Then when you bend […]
Test twice, cut once…
I’m learning that just because you think something should use the StrongGrip mat doesn’t mean it uses the StrongGrip mat. Had I tested small squares of these on the LightGrip first, I wouldn’t have this mess on both my StrongGrip mats. One is photo paper, the other is cardboard that came in a pack of […]
Coloring “I Heart Cupcakes to the Stars” with the Cricut Maker 3
Using the Crayola Washable Super Tips Markers and my Cricut Maker 3 to color. My version is up top. The following is the Cricut Design Space version. Originally, I started out with a Design Space file of three cupcakes in a row [Design Space ID #M34141A90]. I then put the three cupcakes in a triangle […]
Thinking Of You Card
I made this card for my mom to give to a friend of hers. After using too much “wet” glue, I realized I should have used a glue stick. After realizing my mistake with the glue, I invested in the Scotch Permanent Advanced Double-Sided Tape Runner. I got the following tip from someone I was […]
My First Project with my Cricut Maker 3
I made this little telescope box and can put about 10 M&Ms in it! ? You’d think it was a new baby! I keep picking it up and touching it and cheesing like it’s going to grow up, get a good education and take care of me in my old age! Haha! I got the […]
