Cricut & The Dollar Tree

The Dollar Tree is one of my favorite places for "blanks" - items to put cricut vinyl designs on - but it's also where I find some of my basic supplies and tools.  These are the the items I buy there, followed by some of my projects with Dollar Tree blanks. 

 If there is a link with the project, it usually includes the svgs and fonts I used, along with step by step instructions.  

Supplies To Buy At Dollar Tree

 
These are the two items I suggest everyone with a cricut buys first thing.  
The clear contact paper ($1 a roll!) is the only transfer tape I use for transfering vinyl.  It also works for stencils.
The fabric tape measure I use for every single project.  It's my most used tool.  That is what I use to figure out how large my design should be.  (I found the tape measure in the check out aisle)

 
These items are a little more craft related than specifically cricut - but I still recommend them!  I use those hooks to hold my cricut mats on the wall (storage) and the jute is nice for so many of my projects - either to hang them, decorate them, or wrap them.

Pot Holders 
These are one of my favorite items!
They are:  Home Collection Cotton/Neoprene Pot Holders 
I use a silicone baking sheet in the pocket before ironing on my design.

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts.  For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or ().  I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here.  If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos.

How To Use New Fonts In Phonto On Android

There are lots of apps to add fonts to android devices, but I really didn't want to add fonts to my android system.  I have a zillion fonts on my phone already.  What I wanted was to be able to use fonts like I love Glitter in Phonto.   Cliff Notes - Just add them to the fonts folder in the Phonto App.  Phonto has a "how to" for installing fonts on android, but it did not work for me.  This is what worked: My fonts are all backed up in dropbox. That makes this simple - but you could also send the font to your phone through email, and save to your downloads folder.   I just opened dropbox, went to the font, clicked on it, chose export/save to device, and saved to my downloads folder. Then I went to my downloads folder (Use "My Files" - in your app drawer. )  LONG click on the font.  If you just open it, you may get a message saying you do not have an app to pen this file.  You want to select the font, which you do by holding down on ...
