Back in September when I attended BlogPodium in Toronto, I was able to attend a workshop sponsored by Cricut to learn about the Cricut Explore Air. Having heard of Cricut but never had a chance to try one out, I was excited to be able to have a hands-on experience with the machine. I really didn’t know too much about the machine going in, all I really knew is that it was a crafter’s dream machine. I was even more excited when at the end of the workshop to find out that I had won one of my very own machines to take home with me.
As soon as I got it home, my head swirled with ideas of what I could possibly use this machine. I knew from the take home we were able to make at BlogPodium, that I would be able to personalize all kinds of cups, mugs and drinking paraphernalia. These would make great gift ideas for family and friends year round.
I knew right away I would need to check out some of the Cricut tutorials as well as Pinterest boards and Facebook pages dedicated to all things Cricut. Talk about information overload. I was shocked and very pleasantly surprised to see all the amazing things that the Cricut could be used for; all sorts of apparel, jewelry, cards of all sorts were just the beginning.
Once I got my Cricut Explore Air home and out of the box, I unexpectedly noticed a few days later that they have such a great little hidden pocket area to hold all the little tools you can use with your projects. I love this idea so that things are scattered everywhere considering I don’t really have a designated crafting area in my home at this time.
Another big plus in my opinion is they now have their own Cricut software that you can log into online (from either your computer or the iOs version)called Cricut Design Space. This is where you can design your own project and cut/print it from there. I know in previous versions of the Cricut, you had cartridges that you had to install and work with. This new design seems much less cumbersome and I can’t wait to “explore” it more.
I have so many plans for putting this Cricut to good use. I can’t wait to share them with you. I just need to figure out where to start. Any ideas for me? Check back soon for more Cricut related posts.
