Cricut Maker or Air 2, check. Mats, pens, blades and transfer tape, check. Vinyl, cardstock, iron-ons, maybe even a couple of vague project ideas, check, check and double-check.
But wait! Just as you’re ready to take your new Cricut for a test drive, there’s one more ingredient that’s just as important as your supplies.
Yup, you guessed it. What about knowledge?!
Cricut cutting machines are powerful engines of creativity that will take you as far into the world of personalization as you want to go. But getting up to whatever speed you’re comfortable with can take some doing.
Our members learn to use their Cricut in different ways. Many have friends who got them interested, and have the luxury of a personal walk-through. Others follow social media groups, where common questions are answered often. Others prefer to dive in to Design Space, the operating software that powers Cricut, make mistakes, learn from them and move on to proficiency.
We think how you learn should be up to you. Nevertheless, we thought we’d give you four learning resources that many members have found helpful.
