Vinyl Cutter

Hello there

FINALLY!  It has happened!  I got my Cricut machine up and running and learnt a bit about it...

I do mean "a bit" as well.  I filmed the day as video diary, coming in at a whopping 23GB of footage (I've really got to sort that out, it's the GoPro that's the main offender), which I have edited down for you into ten mins of me knocking about the house.  We even cover two days...

There's a chance that tomorrow will be a "contents" day - where I add to the contents pinned post so it's easier to negotiate the post.  Haven't done that for a while and I could do with something relatively mindless.  We shall see though.  I might feel differently when I'm less tired.  I got up silly early this morning, as you will see...

Hope your week is going great guns for you.  The contents of the above video have opened a massive Pandora's box for me, but I think that's a good thing.

Sending all the love

Haha - I also saw them in hobby craft for ages and was baffled by them. They seemed to be mainly for folk to make wedding invitations, but as soon as I saw I could make stencils with them I was in. I also don't have room for it, I assure you, but I've binned the box now so it's on top of a book shelf cluttering the place up. I shall never tire of doing Ada x

I'm already disheartened because of how hard it was to cut acetate, but I suspect there is a setting in there for something else that might do it. The acetate settings are - presumably - for a much thinner acetate. Who would have thought I'd ever write a comment reply with the word 'actetate' in it so many times?

Love my Cameo cutter - it takes a little bit of time to dial into how best to use with different materials/techniques, blade settings etc but you can get so much out of them. Look forward to seeing your creations!

So thatโ€™s what those machines do! Have seen them in hobby craft but wasnโ€™t clear about their function. Great to see it in action. (Note to self: Di, you donโ€™t have room and you also have enough craft projects lined up to last at least a decade โ€ฆ.). Loved Ada as well ๐Ÿ˜ x
