This time at home has allowed me the opportunity to watch a lot of YouTube videos. I discovered miniaturists using the Cricut Maker to create furniture and dioramas, I saw a lot of other crafts materials I never knew I could cut with it too.
The final push, it went on sale...SOLD! I was able to buy extra tools and mats also on sale from Cricut and from Amazon. I see a lot of cost and time-saving value for elementary teachers and art teachers who make and cut

After opening the box, you realize there is not much there to help you in terms of a guide for projects. There is free software, Design Space needed to operate it which is cloud-based, you can also download the application and projects to use offline if you have an iOS device. It does come with a free 30 day trial membership for patterns, I choose not to pay for Circut Access membership plan for projects at this time until I get more experience to see if it is worth it to me. Free patterns are available, you can buy them individually or you can design your own using acceptable file formats.
This is my favorite Cricut Maker website, https://jennifermaker.com it is great especially for a beginner like me, she has great free patterns to download if you join her site, she even has a Cricut Coach Playbook and videos, that I have found to be extremely useful. I would have been lost without her site. I am waiting my other mats to arrive by mail to cut other types of material.

I am so excited to see what all I can do!!
Lol! Mine was just delivered today. Last year I bought the Silhouette Cameo 4. It is a great machine, but it won’t cut wood or heavy chipboard. I’ve been frustrated, so when the Maker went on sale, I jumped at it.There are two more resources unless you have found them already. They are Facebook groups. My favorite is New Age Dollhouse Miniatures, and another relevant and helpful one is Miniatures made by Cricuters Beginners. It sounds like this is the perfect machine for you. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and enjoy your new adventures!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I didn't take a shower today until it was delivered today! I thought I would not get it until the 22nd of this month! I will be sure to check those groups out. Jocelyn
ReplyDeletethey say to unplug it when you arent using it and my favorite youtube video user is heather tracy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pio-e7zTTUU&t=139s.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jocelyn: The Cricut Maker seems to be the new wave of the future for many miniaturists!
ReplyDeleteJodi Hippler uses her Cricut maker A LOT and may I suggest you stop by and see some of the Amazing minis she's made for her various dollhouse projects which are nothing short of jaw dropping!
Have Fun as I KNOW you will! :D
I love Heather!! Her files are the first ones I uploaded. I could listen to her voice all day, it’s so relaxing. I feel like I am getting a massage.
