Cricut Design Space Updates – Cricut Design Space Combine Tools – Unite, Subtract, Intersect, Exclude
In this blog post I will be going into detail on the newest Combine tool in Cricut Design Space. The Combine feature includes the Weld, Unite, Subtract, Intersect and Exclude buttons.
The Weld button has always been in Design Space, but the Unite, Subtract, Intersect and Exclude buttons are new. These 4 new buttons allow you to edit your objects to create new shapes and one of the best things is that you can undo any of the 4 actions.
Let’s jump into discussing the Unite, Subtract, Intersect and Exclude buttons.
How to Weld in Cricut Design Space
As I mentioned before, the Weld button has always been in Design Space, but you will realize quickly that the Weld and Unite buttons are similar.
The Weld button allows you to join 2 or more objects into 1 layer. When you weld an object, you are not able to undo it.
I show you how to Weld in Design Space in the images below.
I added a triangle and a square to the Canvas.
I selected the triangle and the square.
Click Combine and then click Weld.
You can now see the Weld result highlighted in the red box.
How to Unite in Cricut Design Space
The Unite button allows you to join 2 or more objects into 1 layer. When you unite an object, you can undo it.
I show you how to Unite in Design Space in the images below.
Add a triangle and square to your canvas and select them both.
Click the Combine button and click the Unite button.
You can now see the Unite result, you still have your original triangle and square and can still edit them.
If you click the Combine button again, you will see the Undo Unite button and the Merge Layers button. The Undo Unite button allows you to undo the unite. The Merge Layers button allows you to basically weld your layers together. Once you merge your layers, you cannot undo it.
In this image you see that the merge result and the weld result look the same.
How to Slice in Cricut Design Space
Once you start working with the new Combine tools in Cricut Design Space, you will realize that the Slice and Subtract, Exclude, and Intersect buttons are similar. The Slice button splits overlapping objects into multiple parts. You can only slice 2 objects at a time and the result will be 3 or more new layers.
I show you how to Slice in Design Space in the images below.
I added a heart, circle and square to my canvas.
I selected the heart, circle, and square and as you can see in the image below, you cannot slice with more than 2 objects. In the image, I have 3 objects selected. In order to slice, I would need to select only 2 images.
In the image below I have added some text that says “Star” and I added the shape of a star. I selected both the text and the star and clicked Slice.
You can see the Slice result in the layers panel, highlighted in green.
How to Subtract in Cricut Design Space
The Subtract button removes shapes on the top from the bottom layer of your selected objects. You can subtract multiple objects at a time and undo the action.
I show you how to Slice in Design Space in the images below.
In the image below I have selected the heart, circle, and square.
Click the Combine button and click Subtract.
In the image below I have highlighted, in the red box, the result from clicking the Subtract button. You can still edit the 3 layers, the heart, circle and square.
If you click the Combine button again, you will see the Undo Subtract button and the Merge Layers button.
If you click the Undo Subtract button, it will undo your Subtract. If you click the Merge Layers button, it will make your subtract permanent.
How to Exclude in Cricut Design Space
Exclude gives us a new cut shape consisting of only the non-overlapping parts of two or more shapes. It “excludes” or removes the overlapping sections.
You can exclude multiple objects at a time and undo the action.
I show you how to Exclude in Design Space in the images below.
In the image below I have selected the heart, circle, and square.
Click the Combine button and click Exclude.
In the red box below I have highlighted the result of using the Exclude button. You can still edit your layers after you have excluded them.
You can now see the difference between Slice, Subtract, and Exclude.
If you click the Combine button again, you will see the Undo Exclude button and the Merge Layers button.
If you click the Undo Exclude button, it will undo your Exclude. If you click the Merge Layers button, it will make your exclude permanent.
In the image below I have added some text that says “Star” and I added the shape of a star. I selected both the text and the star and clicked Exclude.
You can see the Exclude result in the layers panel, highlighted in green. You can undo the Exclude if you want and you can still edit the Exclude layers.
How to Intersect in Cricut Design Space
The Intersect button creates a new shape based on the overlapping objects of 2 or more shapes. You can undo the intersect action.
I show you how to Intersect in Design Space in the images below.
In the image clicked on Images and searched for the word “pattern”. I have selected the pattern highlighted in red.
Click Add to Canvas.
You can see that the paisley pattern is now on my Canvas.
I’m going to show you 4 different ways to use the Intersect tool. I added a square behind each of my patterns.
For the first design, I have the Paisley pattern and the square selected.
Click Combine and click Intersect.
The paisley pattern has been intersected with the square. The paisley pattern is now grey.
In the red box in the image below, you see that you can Undo Intersect or Merge Layers. If you click Merge Layers, your Intersect will become permanent. If you Undo Intersect, you will have your paisley pattern and your square, like before.
In the image below, I moved the paisley pattern underneath the square to see what would happen.
Click Combine and then click Intersect.
You will see the result. The paisley pattern is now white.
In the image below, the paisley pattern is on part of the square.
Click Combine and click Intersect.
You can see that only the overlapping parts are left.
The image on the left is the Intersect result and the image on the right is the original design.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on how to use the Combine in Cricut Design Space. If you have questions or below, leave them below.
DIY Encanto Shirt | Encanto Birthday Party
The Encanto movie came onto the scene with a bang and has everyone singing “We don’t talk about Bruno”. This movie is absolutely amazing and one that even adults can enjoy.
In this super easy tutorial, I will show you how to make a DIY Encanto shirt that can be worn for a birthday party or as an everyday shirt.
Go over to Cricut Design Space, click the “Upload” button, click “Upload image” click “Browse” then click on that image that you downloaded, and then click “Open”.
On the next screen, I just clicked “Complex” and then click “Continue”.

Next click the “Apply” button and then the “Continue” button.
On the next screen click on “Print then cut” and then click “Upload”.
Click on the image that you just uploaded and then click “Add to canvas”.
Edit the Encanto image for your shirt
Click the “Text” tool and type your text. I typed the word “Encanto”.
The font that I used is the Accord Heavy SF font and that font was already programmed onto my computer.
Now add an offset to your text by clicking the “Offset” button and moving the dial to the right to get your offset how you want it. My offset was 0.181.
Click the “Apply” button.
Click the offset and change the color to dark pink.
Click the word Encanto and change the color to white.
Select the text and the offset and click the “Group” button.
The next step is completely optional. Click on “Shapes” and click the heart.
Minimize the heat a little and rotate it some. Put it at the bottom of the image and select the image and the heart and click “Slice”.

Click the “Send to printer” button leave the bleed on and then turn on the dial for “use system dialog”.
Get your Starcraft Inkjet Printable Heat Transfer Paper and load it into your printer. The Printable Heat Transfer Paper that I had was for dark materials because that’s all I had on hand, but there is also a version for light materials.
I also have the June Taylor brand of printable heat transfer paper and you can get it from most craft stores.
Minimize the Cricut Design Space screen and your print dialog setting should pop up. Choose the appropriate settings for your Cricut machine and make sure the quality is set to best.
Click the “Print” button.
Once your Encanto design has been printed onto your paper go back to Cricut Design Space Space and click “Browse all materials” and search for “printable heat transfer” and click on “Printable Iron-On, Dark”.
Once your design has been cut, peel it off the mat and take your weeder to help you pull the cut design away from the rest of the printable heat transfer paper.
Prep your shirt for the Encanto design
Lay your shirt down on a hard surface and if you have a Cricut EasyPress mat, you can add that underneath your shirt.
Take your heat press or Cricut EasyPress and press your shirt for about 5 seconds.
(If you are using a Cricut EasyPress for this project, I set my machine to 350 degrees for 30 seconds.)
Let the shirt cool down a bit before adding the printable heat transfer paper to it.
Apply the DIY Encanto design to your shirt
Once the shirt is cool, place your Encanto design where you want it and lay the parchment paper on top of it. Use your heat press or Cricut EasyPress and press for 30 seconds.
Peel the parchment paper off of your design and that is all.
Just like that, you have created your very own DIY Encanto shirt that can be used for birthday parties or just because. Check out the video instructions.
How to care for your DIY Encanto shirt
Instructions for the Starcraft Inkjet Printable Heat Transfer Paper say to wash the shirt inside out and to use cold water when washing the shirt.
The instructions also say to NOT use bleach when washing your shirt and to dry on low or to hang dry your shirt.
Finally, you should not iron directly onto your design so that it will not melt.
If you have any questions or comments about how to print then cut your own DIY Encanto shirt, leave them down below.

Next, add your confetti and sequin inside of the cake topper within the double-sided foam tape layer.
Once you have all of your confetti and sequin inside of the cake topper, peel the paper away from your double-sided foam tape and add your acetate layer on top.
Add your dark blue trim layer to the top of the acetate using the Bearly Art Glue.
If any of your double-sided foam tape is sticking out, use your weeder to just push the tape over a little bit.
Take your light blue trim layer and use the Bearly Art Glue to glue it on top of the dark blue trim.
Take your glue and glue your name to the offset of the name.
Take your hot glue gun and glue the name to the center of the cake topper.
Take the hot glue gun and glue the crown to the top of your cake topper.
Flip your cake topper over and then add the plastic stick to the backside.

How To Etch Glass With Etching Cream
Hi guys!
In this tutorial I will be showing you how to make this etched beer mug or etched beer glass using etching cream. Etching glass with etching cream is super easy.
I love using Armour etch to etch my glassware, because it’s super easy to do, just cut your vinyl, apply it to your glassware, let it sit for 15 minutes at most (depending on the type of glassware), wash it off and you’re all done.
All you really need for this tutorial is your glassware, some Armour etch, and your vinyl. Watch the full video below.
Apply your vinyl and tape to your beer mug/beer glass
Take your vinyl and apply it to your mug making sure it’s centered on your mug.
Peel off your transfer tape and get out all the air bubbles.
Take some of your tape and put it around the borders of your vinyl so that when you apply the etching cream to your beer mug/beer glass, you won’t get it on any other part of your mug/glass.
Apply your etching cream to your beer mug/beer glass
Put your gloves on first and then shake your etching cream really good.
Use a popsicle stick or a paintbrush to apply your etching cream to your beer mug/beer glass.
Smooth the etching cream onto your design and smooth it back and forth for about 3 minutes.
Now let the etching cream sit on your beer mug/beer glass for about 15 minutes.
Clean your mug/glass
If you have any excess etching cream on your design, you can take a popsicle stick and scoop it off and put it back into your etching cream bottle or dispose of it.
Now take some water and wash off the etching cream.
Dry your mug/glass with a paper towel.
Peel off the tape and the vinyl and use your weeder to get any small pieces of vinyl that may be left behind.
And that’s it!
One of my favorite parts about etching with etching cream is that you can put your glassware in the dishwasher unlike when you use vinyl on your glassware.
If you want to watch how I created this beer mug/beer glass step by step, check out the video here.
I hope that you enjoyed this tutorial on etching with etching cream on glass. Leave any questions or comments below and be sure to save and share this tutorial on social media!
DIY Holographic Cricut Water Bottle Tracker
Teachers are some of the most impactful and important people who influence our children’s lives. Each year teachers take on the role of not only teachers but that of counselors, therapist, social workers, caregivers, etc. and they deserve to be recognized all throughout the year.
I have two Cricut water bottle tracker designs that I will be showing you how to make for a teacher appreciation gift or back-to-school gift for teachers.
Both of these water bottles were super easy to make and all you need are the water bottles and some vinyl.
I got both of these water bottles from Walmart, and they were both a dollar each and they are hand wash only.
Holographic Cricut Water Bottle Tracker
Learn how to make a Cricut water bottle the easy way.
You can see where one of my svg files is personal to me and says Ms. Byrd and the other is a water tracker for anyone to track their water intake.
The font I used is for Ms. Byrd is the July It font and I got it from Dafont.com.
Ungroup and Edit your Design
Ungroup your designs and edit them to be as they should. When I brought the design into Design Space, the lines were not how they should be, so I had to fix them.
To see step-by-step how I edited the design, check out the video below.
Resize your design
I then resized the text “Ms. Byrd” to fit my water bottle to be 4.25 inches wide. The size of your svg design for your Cricut water bottle tracker may be different depending on the size of your water bottle.
For my other design I chose the 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. design and deleted the other design that was for 7:00 a.m. to 4 00 p.m. You don’t have to delete the other design but can hide it if you plan to use it later.
The width for my water tracker was 2.5 inches wide.
Once everything looks good, be sure to attach all your designs so they will cut the way they appear on the screen.
I then moved both of my designs to the upper right corner because that was the stickiest side of my mat
Click the Continue button.
For the first design I used the premium vinyl setting for my materials and for the second design I used the holographic vinyl setting.
Put your vinyl on your Cricut mat and load it into your Cricut machine and cut out the designs.
I used Oracal 651 vinyl for the white vinyl and I get my transfer tape and vinyl from Expressions Vinyl or a local seller.
Here you can see the designs are sorted onto different mats.
Clean your water bottles
Take some alcohol and a paper towel or microfiber towel and clean your water bottles. You do this so that you remove you any dirt or oil from that may have gotten on your water bottles from your fingers.
Wait until your water bottles are completely dry before applying your vinyl.
Weed and apply your vinyl
Weed your designs and then use your transfer tape to apply your designs to your water bottles.
A helpful tip when applying your vinyl to a water bottle, mug, or another round surface, is to cut slits into the transfer tape to allow it to lay flat.
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial on the Cricut water bottle tracker. These Cricut personalized water bottles make the perfect gift for teacher’s birthdays, back to school gifts, Christmas gifts or end of the school year gifts.
Notes
Be sure to get your free Cricut water bottle designs from my Free Resource Library.
Cricut HTV or Iron-On Instructions – Beginner Friendly
I love making shirts, aprons, pillow cases and many more projects with iron-on or HTV. Most people who have Cricut machines bought their machines so they could make shirts for family or friends, and others bought their Cricut machines so they could make shirts to sell.
Regardless of which category you fall into, making iron-on or HTV projects takes some initial learning and that’s why in this blog post I provide some Cricut iron-on instructions in addition to general information about HTV and iron-on.
What is iron-on or HTV?
Iron-on vinyl is vinyl that needs heat to apply it to various materials such as cotton, polyester, burlap, etc.
HTV stands for heat transfer vinyl and is a vinyl that uses heat to adhere to a variety of materials. Think about shirts, pillow cases, cotton tote bags, etc.
A lot of new Cricut users ask the question, “What’s the difference between iron-on and HTV?” The simple answer is nothing. Iron-on and HTV are the same thing. The basis is that you need a heat source such as an iron, heat press or Cricut EasyPress to apply your iron-on or HTV to your material. So throughout this post, when I reference iron-on I’m using that term synonymously to also mean HTV.
The difference between permanent adhesive vinyl and iron-on
With Cricut newbies, one of the first things they want to know is, “What’s the difference between permanent adhesive vinyl and iron-on?”
The answer is that permanent or removable adhesive vinyl does not need heat to apply it to surfaces. Adhesive vinyl can be applied to walls, wood, mugs, wine glasses, laptops, windows (including cars), acrylic, tumblers, keychains, and the list goes on. As mentioned above, iron-on or HTV can only be applied to materials such as shirts, pillow cases, tote bags, etc and needs a heat source.
Brands of iron-on
There are a ton of brands of HTV that are available to buy and use with your Cricut machine. Some of the brands include Cricut, Siser, Teckwrap, The Paper Studio, StarCraft and many other brands that you will find on Amazon and other online stores. My HTV brand of preference is Siser Easyweed. My favorite printable HTV is StarCraft for dark materials and June Tailor Dark T-Shirt transfers.
There may be mixed reviews on all the various brands of heat transfer vinyl, but you should decide for yourself what brand works best for you. Each brand of iron-on may have slightly different instructions for how long to press or what temperature to press on, which will be discussed a bit later.
Sheet vs Roll
You can buy some HTV in sheets and other HTV in rolls. Obviously, with sheets of HTV there is less HTV to work with. I would recommend buying sheets of HTV if you have small projects or if you want to test out a color before purchasing it in large quantities.
Rolls of HTV come in various lengths, some being feet and yards long. If you make a lot of HTV projects, I recommend buying rolls of HTV because you will save more money in the long run.
Types of Iron-On
There are various types of heat transfer vinyl which include the following and each of these Cricut iron-on have specific instructions that you must be mindful of:
Solid
Solid color iron-on is the standard or basic iron-on and comes in many different colors. Solid color HTV is the cheapest of all the HTVs and can be bought from a variety of places.
Glitter
Glitter iron-on is one of my favorite types of iron-on and comes in a variety of colors. When cutting this HTV you must choose the glitter material setting and put the shiny side down; you may need to add more pressure when cutting glitter vinyl. When layering glitter vinyl, you cannot layer glitter vinyl on top of other glitter, glitter mesh, holographic, holographic sparkle, or foil HTV.
Metallic
Metallic iron-on is similar to foil iron-on and has a shimmer and shine to it.
Mesh
Mesh iron-on gives any material a jersey look and feel. You can layer this HTV on other mesh HTV or on top of solid color HTV.
Mosaic
Mosaic iron-on comes in square or circle patterns. This HTV is different from other HTV because it has 2 clear liner sheets. While you can’t layer mosaic HTV on top of other HTVs, you can use mosaic HTV as the bottom layer when layering HTV.
Foil iron-on comes in a variety of colors and is fun because it’s shiny and makes any design pop.
Printable
I love printable iron-on because you can take any design that you want, print it on your printable iron-on sheet using an inkjet printer and press it onto your shirt or other material. My favorite printable HTV is StarCraft for dark materials.
Holographic
Holographic iron-on is a translucent, reflective HTV, that has a multi-color finish. I love using holographic iron-on and adhesive vinyl.
Patterned
Patterned iron-on is just as it sounds, various patterns or designs are made into the vinyl. Think of a leopard print, gingham print, mermaid scales, camo print, etc.
Infusible ink
Infusible ink is basically a sublimation process where the ink is infused into a shirt, apron, pillow case, etc. The difference between infusible ink and iron-on or HTV is that again, infusible ink is infusible into the fabric of the material, whereas iron-on or HTV sits on top of the material.
SportFlex
SportFlex iron-on is a thin vinyl that is made to stretch on activewear or the base material and is recommended to be used on polyester or nylon. If you want to layer sportFlex iron, it’s best to only layer it with other sportFlex iron-on.
Cold or warm peel refers to when you peel off the carrier sheet of your HTV. For some types of HTV you have to wait for the HTV to completely cool before you peel it off. For other HTV, you can peel it off while it is warm, but not hot (you could burn yourself). Depending on if your HTV is a cold peel or warm peel, not following the directions will cause the HTV to not adhere to your material properly.
Mirroring your design
You will quickly learn when using HTV that you should ALWAYS mirror your design and ALWAYS put the shiny side down when cutting your HTV. When you cut HTV, you are cutting on the back side of the HTV, so in essence you need to mirror/flip your design.
A common question among people who want to use iron-on is, “Should I use an iron or a heat press?” The answer to that question is that it depends on who you’re making projects for. If you’re making projects for friends and family only and you don’t want to invest in a heat press or Cricut EasyPress, then you should stick with an iron. If you want professional looking iron-on projects that will last for a long time, you should invest in a heat press or Cricut Easypress. There are pros and cons to both machines but you should weigh your options and get what works best for you.
Iron-on cut setting
There are various settings in Cricut Design Space that you can use to cut your iron-on. If you have a Cricut Explore or Cricut Explore Air 2 or any older Cricut model that has the dial, I recommend keeping it on custom. That way, when Design Space prompts you to choose your material, you won’t accidentally have your machine set to cardstock instead of iron-on.
When it’s time to choose your base material, click “Browse All Materials” and then type “iron-on”. Currently there are 17 results for the various types of iron-on material. Choose from the list the type of iron-on you will be cutting.
FAQ
Some frequently asked questions for Cricut iron-on are below:
Which side of HTV to cut?
When using HTV to make a project, you should always put the shiny side down on your mat. Because your design is being mirrored and cut into the back side or dull side of the HTV, you always put the shiny side down on the mat. Think of the shiny side as the heat resistant side that protects your design when the heat is applied.
How to weed my iron-on?
Weeding is the process of taking your design that has been cut and removing the extra vinyl from the design. Some people find weeding to be therapeutic and for me, if I’m making multiple projects that require a lot or weeding, I set aside a day to just weed all of my designs. You will always have to weed your vinyl, whether it’s permanent adhesive vinyl that you put on mugs, laptops or water bottles, or if it’s iron-on that you put on shirts, pillow cases, or aprons.
To weed your vinyl, you will need to use a Cricut weeding tool that looks like a plaque or tartar scraper that dentists use to clean your teeth.
How to layer HTV?
Layering HTV is easy and can be meticulous to do. Layering HTV involves placing each layer of your HTV down on your material, pressing it for a few seconds and repeating the process.
An important thing about layering HTV is that you only need to press each layer for about 3 seconds. The more you press the HTV, the more it shrinks. It’s not major shrinking, but enough to notice if you press each layer for a long time. Foil, holographic, holographic sparkle and glitter, iron-on should be used as top layers only.
What temperature to use with HTV?
The temperature to use with your iron-on depends on the type and brand of iron-on you are using. I put together a Cricut EasyPress Temperature Guide that walks you through what temperature to use with your iron-on or HTV. Cricut also has a Heat Guide that allows you to choose your materials and iron-on type.
I suggest you bookmark the Cricut Heat Guide and print off my Cricut EasyPress Temperature Guide.
Do I need transfer tape?
You do not need transfer tape when using HTV. Transfer tape is only needed for adhesive vinyl.
Which iron-on to use?
Because there are tons of iron-on brands to choose from, a common question is which iron-on to use? I personally use the Siser Easyweed iron-on and have been satisfied with it. The Siser Easyweed iron-on is much cheaper at the place I buy it, MyCraftSource.com. Sometimes I use the Cricut brand iron-on and I’ve had great results with it also. Overall, the iron-on that you choose to use should be based upon you testing out the different types of iron-on for yourself.
Which HTV is better?
As mentioned before, you should try out a few different types of HTV to see what works best for you. My personal favorite is the Siser Easyweed HTV and I buy it locally because it is much cheaper than buying it at Michaels and other major craft stores.
How long to press HTV design?
The different types of HTV will need to be pressed for different time periods. As mentioned before, there are different iron-on instructions based on the HTV or iron-on you buy. I put together a blog post that has a freebie that shows you how long to press the different types of HTV. Cricut also has a heat guide that allows you to choose the type of HTV and the material type to determine how long to press your design.
Is HTV permanent?
HTV is considered permanent vinyl and lasts on your materials for a very long time. However, depending on if you applied the HTV correctly and how well you take care of the material that the HTV was applied to, the lifetime of your material can be increased or decreased.
How to make iron-on last?
To get the most out of your material that has iron-on vinyl, if the material can be washed, always wash it inside out. That’s especially the case with a shirt, pillow case, sweatshirt, etc. If you don’t wash the item inside out, the friction from other items in the washer slowly tear at your design.
Also, when caring for your materials with iron-on, be sure to wash your material at least 24 hours after applying your iron-on.
Parchment paper and teflon sheet
Parchment paper and teflon sheet both allow you to protect your iron-on especially when you have to layer designs. Parchment paper is inexpensive and you can buy it at just about any store. Teflon sheet can be a bit more expensive ($10-$20), but lasts a very long time.
One thing to note with teflon sheets is that depending on the type of iron-on, because of the fibers in the teflon sheet, that can sometimes cause an imprint of those tiny fibers into your iron-on.
In all honesty, any type of heat resistant paper can be used to protect your HTV.
I hope you enjoyed this blog post on Cricut iron-on instructions. This blog post walked you through what HTV or iron-on is, the different types of HTV, the different brands of HTV, what temperature to use with iron-on, and some frequently asked questions about iron-on/HTV such as is HTV permanent and how to layer HTV/iron-on.
Cricut Explore 3 and Cricut Maker 3 Details
If you’ve been a Cricut crafter for some time, then you’ll know that within the past 2-3 months, Cricut, the company, has had its users on an emotional roller coaster. Back in March, Cricut announced that they were going to limit the number of uploads for non Cricut Access subscribers to only 20 uploads per month. Anyone who uses their Cricut machines in the slightest knows that you probably upload the same svg file to Design Space about 20 times in one sitting especially if you’ve designed the svg file in Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape.
After much uproar from Cricut users, Cricut decided not to move forward with that decision. You can read about that on this blog post.
On May 22, 2021 Cricut announced that they were coming out with the Cricut Explore 3 and the Cricut Maker 3 machines. The new machines have taken over 2 years to create and will be available for purchase on June 10.
Anyway, these new machines pretty much look the same as the Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cricut Maker, but they use some pretty new technology and are supposed to allow you to cut much faster than previously.
Cricut Explore 3
I love my Cricut Explore Air 2 and I’ve had it since 2018. To this very day I use my Explore Air 2 to create and sell my various creations such as die cutouts/confetti, personalized t-shirts, etc.
One of the biggest differences between the previous Cricut Explore machines and the new Cricut Explore 3 is that it cuts 2 times faster. If you’re anything like me, I can be impatient sometimes, especially during those times when I’m sitting waiting for my machine to cut instead of folding laundry while my machine cuts.
The ability to cut faster is definitely a positive and can make running a Cricut based business more efficient.
Cricut ditched the term “Air” when referring to the new Cricut machines because all new Cricut machines have the ability to connect to Bluetooth, hence the word Air used for the Cricut Explore Air and the Cricut Explore Air 2.
Cricut Maker 3
As with the Cricut Explore 3, the biggest pro to the new Cricut Maker 3 machine is that it cuts 2 times faster than the Cricut Maker. Again, for me personally, the speed for which I can cut my designs is very important. For those times where I have 10 Etsy orders to make, this is very important.
The image below provides a high level comparison of the Cricut Explore 3 and the Cricut Maker 3. The Cricut Explore 3 and the Cricut Maker 3 have somewhat of a new look to them. Both machines are matte and not shiny and as of right now, it looks like the Cricut Maker 3 comes in a pastel blue and the Cricut Explore 3 comes in a pastel green.

Ditch the mat
One of the most important and coolest features, to me, of the new machines is that for some projects you don’t need a Cricut mat!! Yes, you read that right! With the new machines, you don’t need a Cricut mat if you use the Smart Materials. No more buying mats, cleaning them off and trying to preserve them.
The downside is that you can only use the Cricut Smart Materials for this to work. If you use regular Cricut materials and cardstock, etc. you will have to use a Cricut mat. From my perspective Cricut adhesive and permanent vinyl is way too expensive so I’m pretty sure their new Smart Vinyl will be even more expensive.
Neither the Cricut Explore 3 and the Cricut Maker 3 have a smart dial. Cricut’s latest upgrade allows you to choose your material within the Design Space software. Personally, on my Cricut Explore Air 2, I always kept the dial on custom and would choose the material in Design Space.
Button Design
The Load and Unload button is different and so is the Go button. Below you can see an image comparison of the Cricut Explore Air 2 and the Cricut Explore 3 and the Cricut Maker and the Cricut Maker 3.
Accessory Cups
You also have 2 accessory cups on the new machine as opposed to one cup on the Cricut Explore Air 2, the cartridge adapter is no longer there as can be seen in the image below.

Tray
The Cricut Explore 3 now has a tray where you can put your phone or iPad. Before, only the Cricut Maker had this feature.

Guides
The Cricut Explore 3 now has guides on the storage tray to get your Smart Material aligned.

Roll Holder
The roll holder is compatible with the Cricut Explore 3 and Cricut Maker 3 only and will hold your vinyl to keep it straight as it’s fed into your Cricut machine. This is especially important when you’re taking advantage of cutting longer projects with your Smart Vinyl. The roll holder also has a built in trimmer that allows you to trim your vinyl.
An additional feature of the roll holder is that it will double check your design against your Smart Vinyl to make sure you have enough vinyl loaded to cut your design.

Smart Materials
The new Cricut Explore 3 and Cricut Maker 3 can be used with new smart materials. The smart materials include smart adhesive vinyl, smart iron-on, and smart paper sticker cardstock. The pro of using these new Smart Materials is that they allow the machines to cut much faster and you don’t need to use a mat if you use smart materials.
With these new machines, you can also make cuts up to 12 ft long at one time, without having to piece together your design.
Smart Paper Sticker Cardstock
The Smart Paper Sticker Cardstock can only be used with the Cricut Explore 3 and Cricut Maker 3 and allows you to skip the glue for your cardstock projects. The paper size is 13 x 13 inches. With all smart materials, using a mat is optional.
The Cost
The Cricut Explore 3 costs $299.99 which is about $50 more than the regular price for the Cricut Explore Air 2. On a good day, you can get the Cricut Explore Air 2 for $199.99.
The Cricut Maker 3 costs $399.99 which is the same price as the Cricut Maker machine. Occasionally you can catch the Cricut Maker for cheaper.
While I love my Cricut Explore Air 2 and I’m pretty sure these new machines are “cutting edge” I will continue to rock with my Explore Air 2 until I think it’s necessary to invest in a new machine.
To be honest, I’m looking into investing in a GlowForge because this machine is a laser cutter and can cut wood, acrylic, leather and engrave and emboss. The GlowForge is much more expensive (I’m talking about $6,000+), but I won’t be buying it alone. Me and a couple of my friends (who are crafters also) will be splitting the cost.
If you’re someone who likes the latest and greatest technology, you may want to purchase either the new Cricut Explore 3 or the Cricut Maker 3. You may be a Cricut connoisseur and enjoy “All Things Cricut”. Well if that’s you, I say don’t let anyone stop you.
If you have any questions or comments about these new machines, leave them down below and I’ll be sure to respond to you. Be sure to save this post so that you can find it later.
Cricut Stickers – Valentine’s Day Edition
Making Cricut stickers is one of my favorite projects. I love planners and love being able to make my own planner stickers. I also love making stickers for holidays to give to my nieces and the little ones in my life. That’s why I’ve put together this post on Cricut Stickers, the Valentine’s Day edition.
Before we jump into the tutorial I want to answer some frequently asked questions.
FAQs
Can you make stickers using a Cricut machine?
Yes, you can make stickers with your Cricut machine. This blog post will outline how you can do that.
Which Cricut is best for stickers?
The Cricut Explore machines and the Cricut Maker can print then cut; the Cricut Joy cannot print then cut, it can only cut and draw.
How does making stickers with your Cricut work?
You make stickers with your Cricut machine using the print then cut function. There are 3 ways to tell your Cricut to print then cut. You can select multiple svg files on your canvas and then click the Flatten button, you can change the fill to pattern and then change the print type to whatever color or pattern you want or you can upload a jpg or png file and save it as a “Save as a Print Then Cut image” file.
What’s the maximum size of print then cut for stickers?
With your Cricut machine, you can only print then cut for the following sizes: 9.25 in × 6.75 in or 6.75 in x 9.25 in. A standard letter size sheet of paper is 8.5 in x 11 in.
What type of printable sticker paper is best for Cricut stickers?
I like to use the Avery Printable Sticker Paper to make my Cricut stickers because I can find it at my local Walmart and it’s typically cheaper than other printable sticker paper. However, you can use whatever type of printable sticker paper you can find. You may have to adjust your Cricut material accordingly to cut out your stickers. Also, with the Cricut Explore machines, you can only print and cut on matte paper. With a Cricut Maker, you can print on glossy and matte paper.
What’s the best printer to make Cricut stickers?
To be honest, I’m not sure if there is a “best printer” that you can use to make your Cricut stickers. I have a Brother inkjet printer that is discontinued and it works ok for my print then cut needs. I would suggest you do some research to determine which printer works best for your stickers. If you don’t have a printer at home, you can save your project and take it to FedEx Office, Office Depot or Staples. To save your stickers to have them printed for you, keep reading to the “Print your stickers” section.
What material should I choose for making Cricut stickers?
With the Avery Printable Sticker Paper that I use to make my Cricut stickers, I use the “Sticky Note” material to cut my stickers. Depending on the printable sticker paper that you use, you may have to use some other material. Every time I’ve used the “Printable Sticker Paper White” material, Cricut would always cut my stickers all the way out of my paper so I would have individual stickers and not peel them from one sheet.
What is the black line around my Cricut stickers?
The black line that will be printed around your design is called the registration marks or box and tells the Cricut where to cut.
What color paper can I use to make stickers?
When it comes to print then cut, you can only use white paper if you’re using Cricut Explore machines. If you have a Cricut Maker, you can print then cut on any color paper.
Should I turn the bleed on or off?
It’s best that you turn the bleed on when printing and cutting with your Cricut machine so that you will get a nice clean cut around your design. If you don’t, the circle may slightly cut into your design a bit. You can test making stickers with and without the bleed on to see which you like best.
How do I make my Cricut stickers round?
To make your stickers round, add a circle to your canvas, right click to send it behind your design and then select your design and the circle and click the “Flatten” button.
Don’t forget
You have to print from Design Space. You cannot print from some other software and expect the Cricut machine to cut the stickers.
Save your project as you are working in Design Space. Sometimes Design Space gets crazy and you can potentially lose all of your hard work.
If you are making stickers from scratch, you must flatten your design so it cuts as one piece
First you want to download the svg files from my Free Resource Library and then you want to upload it to Cricut Design Space. You can search for the file in my Free Resource Library by searching for “IO Valentine’s Day Stickers”. There are 12 individual sticker PNG files that you can use and I have also put all stickers into 1 PNG file that you can upload to Design Space.
Erase the white background and then click “Continue”
Click “Save as a Print Then Cut image” and then click “Save”
Select all of the images you want to upload and click “Insert Images”
Step 2: Resize your Cricut stickers
If you uploaded all the stickers as one file you will need to slice them individually. To learn how to slice check out this tutorial Cricut Tutorial: How To Slice. If you uploaded the images individually, you will need to resize them to be about 1.5 inches wide which is the typical width for stickers. For the love potion sticker, you can make the height 1.5 inches.
Resize your images to be 1.5 inches wide and 1.5 inches in height for the love potion bottle
Step 3: Add a guideline to your canvas
Cricut only allows you to print and cut a specific size which is 9.25 in x 6.75 in or 6.75 in x 9.25 in. So you can add a square to your canvas, unlock the size of the square, and input the width and length as indicated above. If you want your stickers to print landscape or horizontal, add the dimensions 9.25 in x 6.75 in. If you want your stickers to print portrait or vertical, add the dimensions 6.75 in x 9.25 in. If your guideline is on top of your stickers, right click on your guideline and send it to the back.
Send guideline to the back
Step 4: Duplicate your Cricut stickers
With your guide on your canvas, you will duplicate your stickers and place them on your guideline so you can make the appropriate amount of stickers.
Select all stickers and right click and then “Duplicate”
All of your stickers
Step 5: Attach your Cricut stickers
Once you have all of your stickers where you want them, delete or hide your guideline. To make sure that all of your stickers print and cut the way they appear on your screen, select all of your stickers and then click the “Attach” button. Make sure you save your stickers because sometimes Cricut acts a little slow and you can lose your whole project if you have to restart Design Space.
Attach your stickers
Step 6: Print your Cricut stickers
Click the “Make it” button. You will notice a black square or rectangle around your design. This black box is called the registration marks and tells the Cricut where your design is located. Click the “Continue” button and then put your printable sticker paper into your printer.
Preview of your stickers
You will now see a screen where you can choose “Send to Printer” or “I’ve Already Printed”. If you choose “Send to Printer”, a print Setup screen will pop up and you can choose your printer, the number of copies you want to print, whether you want the bleed on or off, and if you want to Use System Dialog. I recommend turning on the bleed and using your System Dialog.
Send to Printer
Turn bleed on and “Use System Dialog” and click “Print”
Click the Print button, minimize your Cricut Design Space screen to see your printer settings. Make sure your printer is chosen at the top and then change the quality to “Best” and then click print.
Change Quality to Best
If you’ve already printed your stickers, you will then choose a material. If you’re using the Avery Printable Sticker Paper you will need to choose “Sticky Note” from the materials.
The Avery printable sticker paper
If you don’t have a printer at home and you want to take your design to FedEx Office, Office Depot or Staples to have them print your stickers, when your printer settings come up, choose “Save as PDF” this may be in the bottom left corner of your screen and then give the file a name. The black registration box will be printed on your sticker paper and you can load the sticker paper into your Cricut machine and cut out your design using the instructions above.
Step 7: Cut your Cricut stickers
After your stickers have been printed, you will be instructed to choose a material. If you’re using the Avery Printable Sticker Paper you will need to choose “Sticky Note” from the materials. Next put your sticker paper on your Cricut mat, load it into your Cricut machine and press Go.
Make sure the dial on your machine is set to custom and type and select “Sticky Note”
Load your paper on your mat and cut
Use your stickers

10 Reasons Why You Should Use Your Cricut Machine Every Week
Changing and breaking habits is hard to do. Once you set a habit in place, you get comfortable with it and it becomes part of you. It’s the same with using your Cricut machine. You can make it a habit to use it regularly or you can make it a habit to let it sit and collect dust. Which will you do?
Below I outlined 10 reasons why you should be using your Cricut machine every week. These reasons aren’t anything that you don’t know, but will give you a new and deep perspective. So let’s jump right in!
To get your money’s worth
Cricut machines aren’t cheap. The Cricut Maker costs upward of $300 and when you add in the cost of the tools and supplies you’ll need, you can easily spend at least $500 on a Cricut Maker and all of its supplies. The Cricut Joy machine is the cheapest and smallest machine costing right at $200. The Cricut Explore Air 2 is halfway between both machines costing around $250. Again, the machine by itself isn’t cheap and when you add in the cost of supplies, you’ll definitely want to brush the dust off your machine and start using it.
I’ve mentioned this before in other posts, but when I first got my Cricut machine, I let it on my desk for about 3 months before I used it. I could lie and say I was too busy to use it, but the truth is that I was afraid to use it because I didn’t want to mess up any projects. This may seem crazy to some and familiar to others. We all have a fear of messing up and making mistakes. The truth is that the only way to learn how to use your Cricut machine is to use it. You’re going to make mistakes. I still make mistakes and I’ve had my Cricut machine for 2 years. Mistakes are inevitable and we have to learn to embrace them and learn from them. So don’t be afraid of messing up your Cricut projects. Try using your Cricut machine every week to get over this fear of messing up.
To learn something new – when you stop learning you stop growing
I’m a firm believer that when you stop learning, you stop growing; I’m sure that’s a quote from somewhere. But honestly, your Cricut machine is a way for you to learn something new. You say that you’re not tech savvy, well make it a habit to learn your Cricut machine and become tech savvy. It’s not hard. If your heart starts racing at the thought of learning to use Cricut Design Space, check out my Cricut Insider eCourse that includes video tutorials that walk you step-by-step in using Cricut Design Space.
To learn your Cricut machine
Almost every other time I use my Cricut machine, I learn a new tip or trick that I didn’t know before. Some of my favorite Cricut tricks and hacks include:
Using aluminum foil to sharpen my Cricut blade
Cutting slits around my design when applying vinyl to a curved surface such as a tumbler, mug or wine glass
You should flip your Cricut mat over and peel the mat away from your material
You can use IKEA’s plastic bag storage to store your heat transfer vinyl or adhesive vinyl
To learn your Cricut crafting style
When I make tshirts, I design on one day, cut the heat transfer vinyl one day and then apply the heat transfer vinyl on another day. I typically only use this process if I’m making more than one shirt. My process may seem weird but it works for me. When you use your Cricut machine often, you will learn what your crafting style is.
Don’t you just love scrolling through Facebook groups and seeing those really awesome projects. Some are advanced projects and some are basic, but being in those groups really inspires you to want to use your Cricut machine. Don’t just be inspired, take action. If you see projects that interest you, make it a habit to using your Cricut machine every week and recreate the projects you are inspired by. You never know your ability until you apply yourself.
To relieve stress
People have various ways of relieving stress and creating with my Cricut machine is one way for me to relieve stress. I turn on my Apple Music playlist to either Christian or Pop music and I jam out while I craft. Because I have a full-time job, being able to create with my Cricut machine allows me to be in control and “do my thing”.
To share your Cricut crafts with family and friends
Since I’ve had my Cricut machine, I can create heartfelt gifts for family and friends. I’m always looking forward to a birthday, holiday or some occasion where I can crank up my Cricut machine and show off my talents. It always flatters me when family and friends get excited over my creations. If you don’t have immediate family or friends to craft for, try crafting for your coworkers, people at your church or people at shelters.
To start selling your crafts
Obviously if you want to sell items that you make with your Cricut machine, you’re going to have to use your machine. Check out my post on Different Types Of Cricut Businesses To Start.
To collaborate and teach others
Having and using your Cricut machine is a great way to make connections with people, especially in Facebook groups. If you enjoy helping people or if you’re looking for quick answers to your Cricut questions, you can reach out to people in Facebook groups, Reddit, Instagram and share answers or tips with others.
Ask yourself why did you buy your machine or why did you want a Cricut machine in the first place. I take it that you had intentions of using your Cricut machine when you got it, so just do it. Using your Cricut machine every week will help you brush up on your skills and learn things that you never would have before.
Don’t be afraid of messing up your projects. Make the mistake and learn from it.
