After learning the Cricut myself, I have found that there is always information you need to have at hand. After listening to my students I came up with the idea to create a handy guide so that you’ll always be ready to cut. I created my own little booklet, and give it out to everyone who takes my Cricut Basics or Design Studio class.
Inside you’ll find standard information such as what the various buttons do, as well as a few tips I wanted to throw in that you might always want to remember.
There’s also a listing of the cartridges so you can keep a written inventory of all the cartridges you have or want, as well as a place to keep any notes you have about a particular cartridge.
My students who have these think they are really handy, and I am happy that they have one less frustration to worry about when trying to cut. And the best thing, as I think most of you will agree, is that it has a Cricut on the front!
Happy cutting everyone!

I am impressed with how well organized you are regarding the Cricut. You make it so much easier for yourself. Great job!

Do you offer your Cricut Book for those who can not attend your classes because we are too far away? I am also impressed with your organization and since I am new to Cricut, I think this would be a very helpful learning aid.

I don’t currently offer the book for sale, but it’s in the works. Be sure to keep checking back as I am constantly doing updates and listening to everyone’s ideas. Thanks for the positive feedback!

I am new to using the cricut and die cuts. I will be using it specifically for scrapbooking. What is the easiest/best way of securing the die cuts to the pages? I am especially concerned about some of the more delicate/intricate pieces. Thanks for your web site!

I use a few different methods. My ATG gun
is great for that, it’s basically a small tape gun used almost exclusively for scrapbooking. I also use a Xyron Create-A-Sticker Machine
which is a stickermaker/laminator. For more delicate items, you can use Zig Glue Pens
. All of these things come in different sizes and are pretty readily available at places like Jo-Ann
so it’s pretty easy to find the right size for your particular project. Hope this helps!

Just found your site…would love to be able to take one of your classes, but I am too far away. Is your cricut booklet available for purchase?

Hey, I see it’s been about a year since the posts about your book that you created. I just now found your site and am really interested in one. Have you created any for sale? I would absolutely love it!!! Plus I think it would help me from ordering a cartridge that I already have….
