A couple of my latest puzzles.   Both were created with Cricut Print then Cut on WeLiu adhesive vinyl sticker sheets. “Cupcake Celebration” is 35 pieces with a Dollar Tree chopping mat backing. “Mountain Sunrise” is 40 pieces with a backing of Grafix Medium Weight Acid-Free 0.057” Chipboard Sheets Thoughts: [1] I think the “Cupcake […]

I did a search on Google.com, and I found tons of Good Vibes Only SVG cut files, and I decided I wanted to do something similar but different, so that's how I came up with this concept. Using a couple of free assets from VectorGrove, PhotoPea, which is free to use and browser-based, and free […]

I'm working on a 30-piece memory game for my nieces. The wooden discs are two inches around, and I made the image that goes on the circle 1.8 inches in vinyl on my Cricut Maker 3. I'm thinking it might be better to use sticker paper, so that when I go over each piece with […]

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 […]

I created this SVG cut file in Cricut Design Space, and I like how it turned out. ? View the video tutorial to make your own!

Whew! I just finished creating the video tutorial for how to make your own Bean Queen cut file and how to diversify the file to get different looks. I even put the file in the following mockup just to show how it would look in real life. Now I have to edit the video, so […]

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 […]

This project was for Cricut Crafting Challenge #18 initiated by Delonda Ford of Cricut Crafting with Delonda.   As you can see, it didn't turn out well at all, but I did learn some things from this crafting fail. [1] Do not wait until the last minute to start and finish your crafting project, especially […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I'm prototyping for memory games. The red will be one set, and the blue will be another set. The base of each card will be a round wooden 2in chip. I made the shape in the circle 1.5 inches, but I want them to be larger, like 1.75 inches. Each set will have 30 chips.
