With Cricut Basics, you'll learn important foundational techniques for using your Cricut so you can start making amazing things!
What if there was a way to learn how to use your Cricut without all of the overwhelm of videos, online tutorials, Facebook groups, and more?
I'm the creative mind behind the website and SVG shop Hey, Let's Make Stuff. I love inspiring more than seven million crafters a year to make their lives more fun with Cricut crafts, SVG downloads, and simple DIY tutorials.
You may have seen my Cricut tutorials on the Cricut Inspiration blog, for the craft retailer JOANN, and for digital companies like CraftBundles.com and CreativeFabrica.com. I have also had the privilege of teaching at the Cricut Mountain Make-a-Thon in Salt Lake City.
My goal is to help you become a more confident crafter so you can truly LOVE your Cricut!
Learn what your Cricut can do—and only what your Cricut can do! No sorting through tutorials that don't apply to your Cricut machine.
This book is written in a simple 14pt font, making it easy to read. Highlight, take notes in the margins—make this book your own!
While there are full-color images, I have taken care to not include a ton of unnecessary color-heavy pages that are costly to print.
Many Cricut books on Amazon are full of stolen content. Cricut Basics is 100% original content and photographs!
When I got my first Cricut machine in 2014, I completely ruined my projects. There were no tutorials or instructions back then, and I had to figure everything out on my own. I made a ton of mistakes but also learned so much in the process.
Fast forward seven years and now I want to save you those headaches!
Cricut Basics takes away the frustration of crafting with your Cricut and gives you step-by-step techniques for using your specific machine!
I'll show you everything from getting your machine out of the box and set up to doing your very first Cricut project. You'll learn all of the foundational techniques you need to use your machine—all without a bunch of confusing jargon or unfamiliar terms.
By the end of this book, you'll go from confused to confident, whether you just got your first Cricut or you've had one for a while and it's just collecting dust!
This book is for you! I've written it with the beginner in mind, taking special care to explain unfamiliar terms and processes clearly. You will not be overwhelmed by advanced concepts in these books—but by the end, you'll be more confident to try new projects, tools, materials, and techniques!
