July 19, 2019 by Jav

In this post, I’m sharing some basic techniques of paper crafting with your Cricut. You’ll learn how to add score lines to your project, how to do intricate cuts, and how to use the “attach” tool.

Hello, and welcome to Cut N Make Crafts! If you’re new to the Cricut world, this post is for you! It is part of the Beginner’s Cricut Course where I teach you step-by-step how to use your Cricut to create beautiful projects without feeling overwhelmed.

In this project, we’ll make a simple card and you’ll get a quick look at how to cut cardstock using your Cricut. I’ll also show you how to get neat and clean cuts when cutting out small detailed objects like flowers, using the intricate cut settings.

Cutting out the paper by hand can be extremely time-consuming at times. Plus, it’s so hard to cut all these small details perfectly because it applies so much pressure on your hands. This is why you need to learn to use your Cricut to do the work for you.

Cricut is designed to cut paper, cardstock, vinyl and so much more to make our crafty lives easier but at the begining, we need to put in a little effort to learn the basics. And, that’s why I created this course, to help you master your Cricut.

If you follow each of the lessons as I have laid them out, by the end of this course you will be a confident Cricut user off to start your Cricut business.

    Help! When I download the paper craft project from lesson 4 into design space… a yellow triangle appears next to two things in layers and it says Not Supported by Maker, image too large, reduce image size. How do I do this??

      Hi! Just reduce the size of the object from the edit panel or by dragging the arrow at the bottom right corner of the image.

To be a successful entrepreneur you need to be able to make money out of literally nothing to prove your worth.
.
You can’t start a successful business by asking people to give their courses for free without proving your worth.
.
What’s the guarantee that you’re gonna do the work after getting the resources when right now you can’t make the most of what you have.
.
In Shark Tank people have to go through tonnes of trials before they are able to pitch their ideas to investors, they have to do the homework first to make their idea worth investing in. 
.
When applying for university scholarships people have to show brilliant grades, professional experience, publications in top journals, only then they are considered for the scholarship.

Literally everywhere in the world you gotta prove yourself first before you ask for the resources.
If you really want something and can’t afford it, you can always work and save up for it by getting an odd job (babysitting, mowing the lawn, etc.), by selling stuff on eBay. There are a ton of ways to earn quick bucks to invest in education for your business. 
.
You just need to be willing to do the work, to take the first step.
