I put shiny side down :( i was getting so discouraged. Thank you
So glad it all came together! 🩷
I like both the foil and the pen
Thanks for crafting with me Angie! 🩷
I'm trying to make a Thank You card from Design Space. My card stock is 4 1/2 x 5 1/2.. Using the Card Mat. Design is not showing centered on the card. How do I move everything down a bit and to the right?
Terrific!!! Thank you!!👍👍👍👍
I am working on a tablet I don't see all the buttons you have just want to write sentiment I already cut outside
Hey Cheryl! The apps change so often and I don't use the iPad much since I'm making tutorials. I hope you figure it out. All the same functions should be there, just in different spots. It might be worth a Google! 😀 Thanks so much for crafting with me!
Thank you for this thorough video I wanted to know what printer and ink is the best for colored tattoo?
Hey Candice! Here's what I use: ⭐ Canon Printer MG7720 - amzn.to/3rlYuib I've had it for years and it's still printing strong! Thanks so much for crafting with me. :)
Thank you for this video! I was so frustrated with my new Cricut Maker 3 but this video helped me more than anyone I’ve watched! Thank you!!
So glad it was helpful Rochelle! And thank you for the nice note. 🩷
Timestamp tip.. say name of tip
It won't let me use it with out canva pro😢
Thank you SO much for this video! So hard to find without the Cricut Press 😮
So glad it was helpful Rebecca 🩷
I can't find this bundle in creative fabrica help
Hey Tonda! All of the links to the Creative Fabrica sets I used are in the description. If you're referring to the design template, here it is: www.creativefabrica.com/product/20oz-skinny-tumbler-kit-bundle/ref/1394776/ Thanks so much for crafting with me! 🩷
HI! what app did you use?
Thank you! Like many others, I was very intimidated by making a card and using the machine. Your explanation made it super easy.
Thanks so much Stacy! 🩷 Happy card making!
Thank you , I just got my circuit joy . I will be watching you.❤
Congrats on getting the Joy! And so glad to have you here! Happy card making. 🩷
What size are the tattoos? 2 x 2?
I'm not completely sure of the exact size without going back into the template (this was several years ago), but yes, I would say these are about 1.75x2 Thanks so much for crafting with me! 🩷
My machine won’t even cut. It just tells me I can’t read the lines. I’ve already collaborated it five times.
Hey Desiree! If these tricks didn't help, I would personally contact Cricut support. In my experience they are super helpful. I hope you figure it out and can get back to crafting!
Hi, great video. I was wondering if I can use a regular iron? TIA
Thank you so much for crafting with me! As for using an iron, I've never tried it. The key with puff is pressure and a consistent heat. If I tried it, I would make a test project, with no steam and as much pressure as I could apply. If you try it, let me know! 🩷
@@KimByers I tried it with an iron. I wasn’t able to get the right temperature. It was either too hot or not hot enough. In the later , the heat didn’t distribute evenly. I got some puff with some sections not sticking to the fabric.
@@sapitabonita1 I’m so sorry! I was afraid that would be exactly the case. Puff really needs that exact heat and pressure. 🥺😩
I heard on multiple other channels that vinyl is not food safe so you probably shouldn’t put it on plates you are eating from.
That is a great point Sue! I better stick to the outside of platters and mugs. Thanks for sharing and for crafting with me! 🩷
What is the weight of the paper you use for actual cardstock(I mean the paper that you use for the actual card)
I use 80lb typically, but I have used 60lb and 100lb. It depends on what I can find. Thanks so much for crafting with me and happy card making!
I really love how those mugs turned out! I can't even imagine paying those prices for any of those items knowing that I can make them myself so much cheaper! I have the Joy and the Maker and I would definitely say they are very much worth the expense. I have been able to make cards, paper crafts and holiday decorations with them and have had so much fun doing it. I am so glad I bought them! And thanks for that tip about the hole in the bottom of the tube!
Thanks so much for crafting with me Lisa! I agree, not only can you make lovely things, but have a ton of fun doing it. 🩷 Happy Memorial Day weekend! 🇺🇸
Hi Kim! I love the way you think! “Perfection is overrated” is so true!! And I agree, my Cricut is absolutely worth it!! I’m a #1 type of crafter, and the more I use my Cricut the more I love it. Im always on the lookout for potential “canvases” (mugs, plates, signs) from the discount bins or garage sales, estate sales etc. I think I love the finished items even more when they’ve been upcycled or made on the “cheap”! Thanks for yet another fun and inspirational video!
I completely agree! Finding "cheap" or "cheaper" blanks make me giddy. :) Hobby Lobby has tons and tons of blanks and I wait for the cyclical sales. Thanks so much for crafting with me! 🩷
I'm definitely a #1 and I love it! These are so cute. My birthday is July 3 so I love everything Americana for that reason, too. Thanks for inspiring me to make some things this year. ❤
So glad you liked the crafts MagooMagee! I have a few more Americana in mind so you may see more soon. Thank you so much for crafting with me. 🩷
Crafting, I make cards and items for the people I love and people that do me a favor, like the women who takes care of my cat(Luna) when I away
Cards are so much fun and I too make a ton of them. Make sure you check out my recent card making series. We're on Episode 6. 🩷

@@KimByers I already follow those
Kim, you are the best teacher out there. Believe me, I've watched 100s of others. Keep up the great work!
Oh, thank you! You are too kind and I so appreciate the sweet words. So glad this video helped! 🩷Have you seen my new card making series? We're on Episode 6: ruclips.net/p/PLYJAbsWmbUWZPbhDp-RMRDaRVfZScaYct
Great tutorial, thank you! I have been looking and looking for a video to show me how to change the landscape of the image. If I want to do it horizontally, is there a way to do that? It shows horizontal in Design Space, but when you go to create it, it goes back to vertical. I can’t figure it out!
I love mine, I agree with you thought, I wish the drawer would pull out further. I make size 4-5XL t-shirt for my ASD son and family members, I find that it is not suitable for that :(
Hey Lynda! Yes, the drawer is my only grouch about it. 🤣 Thanks so much for crafting with me and happy shirt making for your son and family!
How do you move the template like that?
Hey Krystal! Move the template? Do you mean the photos inside the template? Thanks for crafting with me!
Love your invitation card, super cute. I usually double my score lines i.e. one on top of the other so it does a double score and find that it really helps. Thanks Kim and have a beautiful day xx
That is a great idea Mandy! I will absolutely do that going forward. Happy card making! 🩷
Will this work for sublimation also?
Does the normal cricut markers work with my cricut joy xtra
If I am using a Joy for a shirt name, do I have to turn it vertical or does the software do that when I select joy? And what is a good WxH?
Thanks for sharing! I got a heat press but no cricket or sublimation printer, this method will save me several hundred dollars!
How beautiful the card turned out 🍉 thanks for sharing 😊 I hope your Mother’s Day was a great one. Stay blessed love 🥰
Thanks so much Johany! I hope yours was wonderful too! 💕
Such a colorful fun card. I love it ❤
Thanks so much for crafting with me, Stephanie! 💕
That is such a fun and very cute card!
Thanks so much for crafting with me, Lisa! 💕
Can you use the adhesive backed cards with explorer if you use a mat?😊
Hey Whitney! Are you referring to the cutaway cards? If so, yes! I have a video on cutaways: ruclips.net/video/FOp49siRDf8/видео.html They work on all the machines. Thanks so much for crafting with me!
Another disagree about epson you have to flip as new soft does that in settings
At the making of this video the new options weren't available. Glad to see they are now!
hi there, I have to weed out everything when I make a card with the cricut joy, do you perhaps have any idea why?
Hey Candice! When my card mat is new to new-ish it's sticky enough to pull all the small elements out. Maybe it's time for a new card mat? Thanks so much for crafting along with me. Happy card making! 🩷
I’m new to making Appliqués , I need to make one with my grandsons name for a blanket
I hope it turned out great Laurie! Thanks for crafting with me!
Wow, I'm so glad I chose to watch this video. I have been sitting on the fence about possibly adding a sublimation printer to my inventory. I do use sublimation ink sheets, however, they are very limited patterns and solid colours. I'm not a fan of trying to layer these ink sheets for mugs, t-shirts, etc. Thank you for all of this information!!
Hey Tina! Consider DTV, you get all the color and all the patterns, but you're printing to vinyl. :) I have a video on it on the channel. Super easy to use and you only need a inkjet printer. Thanks for crafting with me! 🩷
Here it is. :) ruclips.net/video/8FQRpgvS_1Y/видео.htmlsi=hFDwyBg_xWnbMEs3
@@KimByers That's another option, I'll check out your video. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this video! Love this project
So glad you like it! Thanks for crafting with me! 🩷
hi- i have a question about the tension on the machine, how do you know how tight to adjust the knobs without worrying a bout breaking the glass or bending any metal sublimation tumbler? i always worry the glass will snap from the pressure of the closure and heat. thanks
Hi there! I worried a bit about glass in the beginning, but honestly just make it snug, not super tight. As long as there is no space between the glass and the paper, it will transfer. Thanks for crafting with me! 🩷
@@KimByers Thank you 🙏🏻
I bought used printers and converted to sublimation. I also converted printers used for sublimation and changed them back to regular. I purge printed the old ink out on regular Walmart copy paper. Then purge printed the new inks in. The printers don’t know the difference so just refill with whatever ink you choose and print.
Good to know you had luck with that. Thanks for sharing.
Hi it takes a long time for my pront feature to come up. What can I do about that. It takes over 10-15 minutes.
Hi there! Pront feature? Let me know and I'll try to help. Thanks for watching!
What if you want to use your own design. There are few templates that I like in design space and they have a small amount of watercolor templates
Hey there! You can pretty much turn any drawn design (use the filters in Cricut Design Space to find them) into watercolor, but you'll need to keep them fairly simple as you saw with this tutorial, tiny elements will get lost. I started by drawing (using the Cricut) the designs I wanted to use on a regular watercolor sheet and testing them there, like these butterflies. Since I added them to my card, raised with foam squares, I didn't mess up an entire card testing out designs. I just drew several on a larger sheet and took the best ones for my final card. :) I hope that helps and I hope you get to make beautiful watercolor cards! 🩷
There’s 0 joy card cuts when I search for this 😡😡
Hey there! What do you mean by "this"? What search is giving you no results? Maybe I can help. Of course this video is 3 years old so things have changed a little. I have a newer series if you're interested in having a look. 🥰 ruclips.net/p/PLYJAbsWmbUWZPbhDp-RMRDaRVfZScaYct Thanks for crafting with me!
@@KimByers didn’t realize this video was that old lol but thank you for replying after so long. When I searched for “joy cards” to get the edge cutout from the images tab it didn’t show any cutout edges anymore so I guess they changed that so that sucks
@@Lugiavsgiratina did you try the words “quick corners”?
@@KimByers yeah I tried everything but nothing came up
@@Lugiavsgiratina I'm so very sorry to hear that. I just tried searching "Quick Corners" on my Cricut Design Space app and received lots of choices. You might want to call the Cricut Support Desk. I've found them to be very helpful in the past. I hope they can help!
Best video so far on crafting supply organization! This has helped me tremendously! Thanks❤
Oh thanks so much Kathy! Appreciate your sweet words and for you hanging out with me. 🩷
Oh my gosh the bouquet came out beautiful! Great tips and you make it look easy!
It takes a lot of back and forth with different flowers for me! 🤣 But it's fun and it's cheaper! 🩷 And then I use the other flowers on my kitchen counter for a week. Thanks so much for crafting with me!
So inspiring - I can see how this technique on canvas would work for an antique look to older photos that you want to show off in a unique way! 👍🏼🫶
Thanks for crafting with me. And the good news is, I think DTV would do much much better on canvas. I think I'll give it a try. 🩷
