Hey guys, welcome back to my KZfaq channel. In this video, I wanted to show how to use the Cricut Joy machine if you are a beginner. I talk through how to use Cricut Design space to create a simple and easy personalised word vinyl design.
I share each step slowly so that even if you're coming to this video as a complete beginner you can hopefully leave with an understanding of how to make the most of your Cricut Joy machine.
I talk through the basics of the Cricut Joy, Smart Permanent Vinyl, personalising words on Design Space, Cricut Access, and lastly how to put your word design onto a base product like a wooden box.

Hallelujah! I think I understand it! I’ve watched many (too fast) videos and people have to understand what beginner videos are. I took a class in college that the instructor required us to write our paper to explain a modern appliance to a 1920’s remote village people. It had to be simplistic enough for them to understand and I’ve used the same technique when I was training personnel. You have successfully taught at that level as many experienced cricut users assume that everybody knows the basics.

I've found that if you use the scraper tool on the front in different directions and on the back as well, it sticks to the transfer tape without any problems. This is especially important with thin lines in a design. Thank you for the video. I'm a Joy user who loved the old phone app and find Design Space intimidating. You helped me learn several new things.

You basically just explained a 2 in one tutorial that is amazing! You showed how to generally use the cricut machine but how to layer aswell witch can be super difficult & confusing watching other people's videos but you showed it so simple without any complex instructions :)

Thanks so much! Ive had my machine for a year and a half and havent used it. I might try to do some Christmas ornaments this weekend. Question: Do you always have to use the fonts and stuff that is there or can you make your own designs and stuff? I do a lot of graphic work where I usually create my own designs in photoshop or something so can you like import stuff like that. For example a logo I designed for a business? Thanks so much!

Hi, I wanted a cricut for so long and eventually got one for Christmas. I must admit the fear of not knowing what to do, where to start and tbh can I do it has forced me to leave it still boxed. I cant even figure how to change sizing on a computer so I am dreading this. I was told just buy vinyl it doesnt have to be cricut, so I did, but to find out hundreds of pounds later all vinyl are not the same. I have been told 641 is to thick for cricut joy and the permenant gloss one is no good for tumblers. I honestly dont know what to do. I am so pleased Ive found a UK channel I can watch and follow and hopefully not give it up as a bad idea. I watched you first video as suggested n my anxiety was through the roof.....Thank you for sharing. Youve got a new sub.

@paigejoannaa Жыл бұрын

You’ve got this! I think the first thing to do it the test project when you set up the machine as cricut design side will show you all the steps to take, once you get the general idea how it works it makes so much more sense so don’t panic ❤❤❤❤

@lynnemorton6055 Жыл бұрын

Hi I have a couple of questions regarding the Fonts please. Firstly, Do you get any free fonts or do you have to pay for either individual fonts or the monthly £10? If you have to pay for individual fonts, is the font you have just paid for now yours to use again? or is that price for a one use only. Hope all that made sense. Many thanks

Hey! I'd say the Cricut Joy or Explore machines are best for at-home crafters (beginners) but all machines can be easily learned. The Joy is great if you're short on space as it's so compact to store away. There is a complete list of what the Cricut Joy can and can't do compared to the other machines on the Cricut website and on my blog here: www.paigejoanna.co.uk/2021/01/differences-between-cricut-machines/

Measure your base product and then on design space select the finished layer and resize it to the size you want that will fit on your project. You can either select the layer and drag with your mouse (or finger if using a tablet or phone) OR resize it at the top settings by inputting the measurements you want xxx

It is shocking to me how difficult Cricut software is to use. Too many issues to get started using the software. I have tried quite a few projects only to get to the “make it” point and there are issues. I’m sorry I spent so much money on this system already.
