Cricut Guidebook

cricut_front_page_header2

Are you a little intimidated by your Cricut? Maybe you bought it, and now it is just sitting in the box, collecting dust. It has become another "piece of furniture" and you are starting to pile your other craft supplies on it. Like its just another craft table over there in the corner.

You aren't even sure where to start with it.

It's time to take that little bug out of its box and use it to make fun projects.

I know how overwhelming that expensive machine can be. Which makes it even more painful that its turned into a paperweight.

When you look at it, you should get all giddy and have an excited bubbly feeling in your belly.

Not a feeling of dread!

This Guide Will Help You Get That Noisy Bug Out of Its Box!

cricut_guide_product_main_podia2

Okay. Taking that amazing machine out of the box isn't really the hard part.

Putting it to work is the hard part. You know how to plug it in. Turn it on. Maybe even load the cutting mat.

But then what?

You need to tell that bug what to do. And to do that, you need to open up Cricut Design Space and navigate software that you are unfamiliar with.

You are probably asking yourself "why didn't Cricut include a manual for this expensive machine". Good question.

They do provide some support in their help section...but that is a pain when you are in the middle of working on a project or you are working offline.

Way deep down.

I've been a crafter for over 20 years and equally addicted to technology and helping others figure out how to blend the two.
