The Cricut Minute

Every Tuesday, I send out a Cricut tip related to Design Space, or a certain machine, or a certain material. I usually give an explanation, at least one photo, and why the tip is useful or when you’ll want to use it.

I appreciate all the great feedback that I’ve gotten, and have heard from several of you that you would love to see any previous emails you may have missed.

I figured the best way to do that is to share each email as an individual blog post here and list them all out. Then you can scroll the list for any you have missed or want to revisit.

A few months ago I was thinking about how I could make my email newsletter more useful to you – the reader. An email that contained actual helpful Cricut information without making you click to read a blog post, buy a ticket, or watch a video. While all of those things are still important to me as part of my JOB, I don’t want my communication with you to be ONLY that.

So The Cricut Minute series was born. Thanks for keeping my job fun, and let me know if you have topic ideas for The Cricut Minute!
