Calling all cutting machine owners! We’ve got some simple Cricut Crafting Tutorials to get you started on the great adventures of dimensional paper design and layers and cuts.
We won’t tell you which cutting machine to buy, because they are all great and most people already own their favorite. We enjoy our Cricut Explore 2, but we’re not working for Cricut. That means we’re not qualified to actually help you choose a machine. However, we need and love our Cricut for creating dimensional cards and crafts for our Bible Study Lessons for children. So along the way we’ve discovered some tips and tricks we like to share. Because we love to learn, and believe you do, too. Others share what they’ve learned, and we want to give back with our Cricut Tutorials. It’s the way to make the world a better place.
When you’re stuck and your machine won’t cooperate, ask us if we’ve been there. We’ve probably made all the mistakes, and may have muttered at the machine a few times. But we’re still committed to the joys of machine cutting and we’re here to spread the joy.
