Cracking the Cricut

Hi there! It’s Ilyssa here from Domestic Heights.

When I first got my Cricut, it sat in the corner of my bedroom for about a week.

It just seemed a bit overwhelming setting everything up, downloading software, connecting the machine to the computer…

So much technology!

I just wanted to make a simple birthday card for a friend.

Fast forward a truck load of wasted material and hundreds of projects later, I want to share with you, my fellow Cricut crafter, all the things I wished someone had summarized for me in the beginning.

Here are a few of the things I’ve designed and made just recently. ↓↓↓

This could be you in just 90 minutes!

No need to get a phD in Cricut Design Space before making your very first project. These video guides will have you going within the hour.

(all video tutorials are based on the desktop version of the Cricut Design Space app, the limited screen space of the mobile iOS and Android apps makes it difficult to fully perform some of the tasks needed for these projects)
