Crafting with my Cricut Explore Air 2 is my favorite thing to do in my free time. Sometimes I’m so engaged and excited to craft that I invite my friends over to have a crafting session. Before I begin crafting, I like to have blanks on hand for my projects.
Over the course of time, the following sites have been my go-to places to find blanks for my Cricut projects. Just FYI, Amazon is my absolute favorite place to get Cricut blanks. Check out my Amazon Storefront where I list my favorite products in 1 place: https://www.amazon.com/shop/insideoutlined
My Vinyl Direct
I ran across My Vinyl Direct while scrolling on Instagram one day. I was intrigued by the personalized home decor, apparel and drinkware in their Instagram feed and I immediately began following them. I clicked over to their website to check out some of their products and discovered that they not only have vinyl for sale, but also blanks for cricut projects, transfer tape and more.

Thank you so much for putting this list together – it super helpful! I love the little elephant as a birth announcement – do you have an SVG for that? I’m just starting out so I hope it’s an easy enough project. Thank you again!
Hi!
I do not have an svg file for the birth announcement, but I can add it to my list to create it.
This is really great information. Thanks!
Thank you!
