TELL ME! What are Your Best Cricut Maker TIPS???

Описание: I just bought my very first Cricut Maker, and I’ll be honest—I know almost nothing about how to use it 😅

This is NOT an unboxing video. This is me coming at Cricut as a total beginner and asking for real-world advice from people who actually use these machines.

I’ve avoided Cricut for years because vinyl, weeding, and heat transfers are not my thing. I run print-on-demand for my shirts through Printify, so I don’t keep inventory or do heat press work myself. What I do need is a faster, smarter way to make stickers and bookmarks in-house—without losing money on high production and shipping costs.

Wholesale stickers and bookmarks get expensive fast, and I want to be able to sell:
• Stickers for around $3
• Bookmarks for around $4

That’s why I finally took the plunge.

Right now, my plan is to use my Cricut primarily for:
• Print-then-cut stickers
• Laminated bookmarks
• Paper, cardstock, and possibly chipboard projects
• Journaling and planner accessories

I’m not interested in vinyl projects (at least for now), so I’d love tips specifically outside of the typical Cricut vinyl world.

I also grabbed Cricut supplies on sale at Michaels (buy two, get two free!), which made sticker paper cheaper than anything I’ve bought online before—and that definitely helped push me over the edge.

Eventually, I plan to upgrade my ancient iPad so I can design more directly using Procreate, especially for journaling and digital art—but one step at a time 😅

So now I’m asking YOU 👇
If you use a Cricut Maker:
• What do you actually use yours for most?
• Any must-know beginner mistakes to avoid?
• Best settings for stickers, laminated paper, or bookmarks?
• Can you use non-Cricut mats and pens?
• Favorite tutorials or creators I should watch?

Drop your tips, advice, and video recommendations in the comments—I’m learning from the community on this one 💬

Thanks for helping a Cricut newbie out, and I’ll see you in the next video!
