I purchased the Cricut Express bundle with Jute Box & Design Studio . It was A very good price for all of it from the Home Shopping Network. Any way it’s not as easy as just take it out of the Box and start doing it. So I too have had to spend endless hours on the computer looking for tricks of the trade to use. Of course this machene comes with an instructional video, but the cartridge that does all the examples in the learning CD was not included in my bundle. “Figures”. In any case so far all I have been able to do is cup up and scar my mat. No instructions tell you what presure or what size to use with each pattern. The booklets are all most useless with very little “How To Instructioiins” So your kind of on your own learning each thing you choose to make. And what I have been able to make thuss far looks like kids play and not at all profeshional looking. (SAD).
“OK” How ever I have found some not all instructional videos helpfull from youtube.com and some from Google. Just go in those sites and of corse enter Cricut in the site search and many to choose from do come up.
I refuse to give up on learning. I have seen what it can do and am determend to learn. Especially after paying what I did. I can’t emangen giving up after desireing it so much. Info mercials are so bad. In any case if anyone one else out there knows where to find better help with presure and size according to paper type. Or how to fit patter to size of paper please help…I need all of that I can get.
Thank You.

Just a little tid bit for anyone that might not know!! For your Mats, if the have dust, paper dust/fibers on them and they are not sticking really well. You can use baby wipes and clean them. They do a nice job and they become sticky again…

Hi Sally,

What cartridge are you using? If the seeds are from a layering feature, then you shouldn’t have to cut the watermelon and rinds also. However, if it’s part of the original cut, and if you have either Design Studio or the Gypsy, you can select just the seeds to cut.

is there away to not use so much paper. When I cut the watermelon, then the rind, then the seeds. How many times to I have to cut , to get the seeds. Is there a way that you can just cut the seeds, without cut the whole watermelon out in black. I realize this is a loaded question and hope someone can figure this out and get back to me. Happy cricuting.

If I were you I wouldn’t be using construction paper on your mats. You will lose the stickyness on the mat, besides it makes your mats all FUZZY. The best thing to use is cardstock! It goes on easy and comes off really easy.

My husband bought me a cricut 2 years ago, then I got the cricut expression. I gave the regular cricut to my daughter in law. Both of us really enjoy the projects.
If anybody needs how to use the speed tension , also how to use different cartridge setups go to utube vidios. It is very informative. It tells alot of information!.

You can cut construction paper on your cricut you need to slow down the speed a bit. I work at a school and used my cricut to cut out #’s for math night out of construction paper with the speed 2-3, old mat (not real sticky), fairly new blade. The thing is the construction paper is a very dusty/fiber material and will make your mat not tacky at all after about 10 or so numbers. But I just cleaned the mat off with goo gone and respray lightly with Krylon Easy-Tack Repositionable Adhesive (just a light coat). Mat works like new.
