It is SO frustrating that there is absolutely no way to use the cricut machine when their website is not working.  Especially when it's not working in the time I have set aside to work on cricut projects!!  I admit I am super, super annoyed this morning.  I already had my dining room table covered in items I wanted to work on, last night I had loaded a bunch of designs into design space...  and this morning, I can't do a thing with any of it, until they finish their unscheduled "maintenance" (Fix whatever broke). But realistically, although I can't finish the projects I wanted to finish this morning, there are a few things I CAN get done, so when design space is finally back online, I can work efficiently to help make up for lost time. 1.Sort out all of the items I want to work on .  Layout t-shirts, pillow case covers, the leather for the earrings , the cutting boards, etc..  and measure them.  Making note of what size design would work best on each item.  I can

I just use a plain old iron.  I set it between cotton and wool. No steam. It's a thrift store iron.  It cost me $2.  It's good and heavy - and old.  Probably a 1980's model.  I generally I use Siser Easyweed.  I've used some Stahls as well. Early on I used a little of the cricut htv, but it is generally more expensive, and I don't like it as well as I like the Siser. parchment paper, silicone baking sheet, thrift store iron, on an ironing board. I work right on my ironing board.  I think it works so well for me because it's the perfect height for me. It's an antique, all wooden, ironing board, if that makes any difference.  It  belonged to my husbands grandmother.   My craft space is a corner of my laundry room, so the ironing board  is just convenient for me. Silicone Baking Sheet I use silicone baking sheets inside my items when ironing.  It reflects the heat back,and gives me a nice flat surface inside the item..   Ok, I don't really know why this hel

I made the snowflake snow globe earlier this week, but I'm not quite ready for winter decor here..  so I thought I would attempt modifying it to a fall design.  My biggest lesson tonight?  Do not use Close to My Heart paper for these - stick to plain that does not have a white core, and that IS the same color on both sides.  :-) I started with a paid file, found here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/480696134/snow-globe-classic-red-truck-template SLICE OUT ALL THE SNOWFLAKES First I removed the snowflakes.  To do this was simple, I added a circle using the shape tool, sized it to fit in the center, and slice.  Repeat with each of the snowflake pieces, and with the trees. After slicing out the trees, I wanted to add some solid to the bottom of that circle, so I added a rectangle, and welded it. This is a good time to go through and delete all of the extra items from the svg.  The snow, the christmas tree, etc. SAVE AS BLANK SNOW GLOBE At this point I chose "Save AS" and saved
