Emmajane thanks sweet. That's it, we all do things differently and we can all learn from each other. I may do something and someone may say I do it this way it's quicker, great! The more we share, the more we learn💋

Cards Are My Canvas Thankyou. I’m so glad you love it. Thankyou for your feedback. I can certainly do a whole process video.💋

Susan B Thankyou. You will love it. We have a group on fb called Cricut Craft Creators. Come and join us as we have lots of lovely ladies, including a few with makers who will always help you and we would love for you to share your creations. We all started with a machine in a box and although it can seem daunting at first, I promise that once you get the basics down you will be creating beautiful gifts before you know it.💋

megbkent very welcome. We have a fb page aswell and run competitions and giveaways every month. Well worth getting one. The Maker has just been released but unless your interested in cutting fabric the Airs are a fantastic starter machine.💋

I was going to buy a scan n cut but having watched your videos, I went for the cricut maker. Waiting for it to arrive, excited and scared lol x

Nena Riddlespur you can do it lovely. Just take your time and have a play💋

Weneal Towns thankyou💋

TheJackieo1960 Hi Jackie!!! Funnily enough I’m planning a Texas trip as we speak!!! Could you send me a pm on the Facebook page please so I can pick your brains😂😘

Melody Norton Thankyou 💋

Connie Blackmon Thankyou💋

gogo uk these ones ar just copper wire string lights from the eBay and I also use 1 meter strip lights from the range, they are both around the £1 mark, give or take.💋

Vanessa Hailstock I would need to see your layers panel to help sweet. If you send me a message on the Facebook page with a picture of your layers panel I can help❤️

1directionjbx so I just have the wire hanging out the bottom of the hole and then hide the battery pack behind the glass block. That’s why I often spray paint the back so you can’t see it❤️

Mahonna James metallic silver sweet❤️

ftroop mule I use the yellow backed clear transfer tape for gmcrafts.co.uk, it is my go to transfer tape.💋

Shana Turbyfill I don’t use silhouette unfortunately, I’m Cricut all the way but I would check your settings. It sounds like you had the writing set to score, in your layers panel/tool bar there will be a way for you to change it to cut or draw or score💋

Lisa Cosby that’s why I’m here lovely. We all started with a machine in a box. Some people get templates and certain companies do have online templates for their products. Ds has templates to. I’m more basic than that. I use my sewing tape measure🤣 I use it on most things including shapes such as stars for a rough estimate.💋

Pitterpatties I have a video on how to get the hidden glyphs up in fonts. It shows you how to find and use them so you can get the hearts etc up💋

Thank you. I actually figured it out, but will definitely watch your video.

Anne Sanders, it's a 19x 8x 19 cm clear view pre cut glass block. I sometimes get the pre frosted ones and occasionally the wave view ones but I find I can do more with these ones. They are pre cut with a removable "lid" in place. You can get these without the cut in bulk from eBay etc but you need a special drill part to cut the opening. These ones are £3.99 each from glassblocksdirect.co.uk To search on eBay etc type craft glass blocks or for the non cut ones bathroom glass blocks bulk💋

Thank you so much Jen. Love this idea x

Oh wow, I didnt realize they made them that big. No wonder I was having issues with my name's on my 11.5 glass block.

Hi Casha, its not in DS you can find it in this Etsy link. www.etsy.com/uk/listing/571000455/swirly-tree-svg?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=family tree svg&ref=sr_gallery_1

Oh okay, thank you so much!

Vicki Simmons I do have a video on it further down but download your font, find it in downloads, open the zip folder and open the font file, install. Refresh design space and then search for it. Sometimes refresh does it but if not close and reopen💋

Stacey Setchell I just get them from EBay lovely. They are just copper wire fairy lights💋

BTW - I have the new Cricut Maker

Dorigurl75 what vinyl are you using sweet and what cut setting? You want to make sure your vinyl is well adhered to your mat. If the names are small I always recommend using a deep cut blade especially with cursive text. It sounds like the text is just to small and the blade can’t cope, plus the font is very delicate. A deep cut blade has a greater angle than the premium so it copes a lot better with projects like this. Let me know the vinyl and setting though and we see if we can find a fix if you don’t have the deepcut💋

With the Cricut Maker you just choose the medium (vinyl) and then you can choose between more, default, or less pressure. I've tried all three. I also used my strong grip mat, not the standard one. I'll try the deep cut blade. My block is the same size as yours and my letters don't look any smaller than yours... so I'm not sure.

Dorigurl75 what vinyl are you using though. Some vinyls require a slight tweak in cut settings. Knowing the vinyl would narrow it down💋

Oh I'm sorry.... I have Cricuts... and I bought another brand at the same time... I've only had my machine a couple weeks and only used it for 2 projects so far.... I'm a newbie! What vinyl works best....I'll buy that brand!

Glenda Schaub have you selected the text?

@@CriftyCrafty Yes I selected the text and typed in.

Vivi Anne Frazier I'll have a look in the morning and let you know. Sorry Hun, I've only just sent this💋

Vivi I've just rewatched the video. I didn't get it from ds I got it from my search engine. I just typed in family tree clip art/ svg/ silhouette etc.💋

thank you. Love your video! You make it so easy to follow. Can I use silhouette images on my cricut?

Christina Klein oh no. What vinyl did you use my lovely?

Crifty Crafty I bought the cricut brand. I think I know what I did wrong. This whole cricut thing is new to me. I bought it off of someone a couple weeks ago. I didn't wipe off the glass block from my fingerprint oils. Love your project. It's beautiful.

Do you have any advice on spray that I can use to make sure the vinyl letters to stay on the glass? Some of my names are really small and I'm afraid they will rub sideways if someone touches them.

Christina Klein if you spray after it should not affect the vinyl. Make sure you spray at a reasonable distance though so you don’t soak your vinyl. I just use wilkos own brand spray so nothing special. You only need to spray if you want a frosting though. You do not need to seal your vinyl. If you just want clear glass then just adhere your vinyl and leave it💋

Rhonda Miles well spotted! I completely forgot about them🙈
