1
00:00:00,780 --> 00:00:01,730
- Now I'm going to show you

2
00:00:01,730 --> 00:00:03,605
how to cut these hashtags on your own.

3
00:00:03,605 --> 00:00:07,881
On your computer you'll notice
this fun little Cricut icon

4
00:00:07,881 --> 00:00:11,210
and if you click on it it
says Launch Design Space

5
00:00:11,210 --> 00:00:12,679
which pulls up Design Space.

6
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,509
Now I'm already logged in right here

7
00:00:14,509 --> 00:00:15,580
but if you haven't logged in

8
00:00:15,580 --> 00:00:17,780
it'll pop up and say two different things.

9
00:00:17,780 --> 00:00:20,269
It'll either say log in with
your username and password

10
00:00:20,269 --> 00:00:22,800
or it will ask you to create a new login.

11
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,070
I'm gonna click on New Project

12
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,100
and I've got a blank canvas here.

13
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:33,423
And I want to add an image.

14
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:38,469
The image we wanna use is
the empowerment hashtag.

15
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,799
And then I'm gonna look through

16
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:47,439
and find the image that I wanna use,

17
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:49,850
this cute one that says original.

18
00:00:49,850 --> 00:00:51,649
It's all the way down at the bottom.

19
00:00:52,979 --> 00:00:53,813
I'll click on it.

20
00:00:53,813 --> 00:00:55,649
You can select more
than one image at once.

21
00:00:55,649 --> 00:00:57,630
If you wanna do more than one you can.

22
00:00:57,630 --> 00:01:01,033
I'm just gonna select the one
and click on Insert Image.

23
00:01:05,299 --> 00:01:09,709
And then right here I will
size my image to six inches.

24
00:01:14,420 --> 00:01:16,978
You can drag it and it will
tell you the current size

25
00:01:16,978 --> 00:01:18,692
as you drag.

26
00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:20,780
Or if you wanna type it

27
00:01:20,780 --> 00:01:23,540
into a really specific exact dimension

28
00:01:23,540 --> 00:01:25,769
you can click the width and the height

29
00:01:25,769 --> 00:01:26,992
up in the top menu bar.

30
00:01:29,579 --> 00:01:31,180
And then we'll click on Make It.

31
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,269
And we're ready to cut.

32
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,040
Let's go over to our machine.

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:40,750
First you'll wanna set it to custom

34
00:01:40,750 --> 00:01:42,003
for our shimmer vinyl.

35
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:45,909
The next thing you'll see
is to set your material.

36
00:01:45,909 --> 00:01:47,170
You have a couple options right here.

37
00:01:47,170 --> 00:01:49,540
You can click on Favorites
and add certain things

38
00:01:49,540 --> 00:01:51,579
that you do a lot to
your favorites category.

39
00:01:51,579 --> 00:01:53,150
I've been doing a lot of shimmer vinyl,

40
00:01:53,150 --> 00:01:55,129
a lot of patterned iron-on.

41
00:01:55,129 --> 00:01:57,769
You can select those and add
them here, I'll show you how.

42
00:01:57,769 --> 00:01:59,310
Or Popular will give you

43
00:01:59,310 --> 00:02:01,560
just a whole bunch of different ones.

44
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,040
We're gonna look exactly
for the material we're using

45
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,599
by going to Browse all materials

46
00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:10,842
and typing in shimmer or vinyl.

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,900
And right here it pops
up Premium Vinyl Shimmer.

48
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:17,229
If you wanted to add
this to your Favorites

49
00:02:17,229 --> 00:02:19,030
you would click the star

50
00:02:19,030 --> 00:02:21,360
and then you would see it
appear in that Favorites menu

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,193
from now on.

52
00:02:23,419 --> 00:02:24,520
Then we'll click Done.

53
00:02:25,716 --> 00:02:27,780
The Pressure menu right here,

54
00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:30,210
let's say that your blade is really,

55
00:02:30,210 --> 00:02:31,250
you've been using it for a while

56
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:32,210
and it's gotten a little bit dull.

57
00:02:32,210 --> 00:02:34,330
You could click on More pressure

58
00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:35,889
so it would cut a little bit deeper.

59
00:02:35,889 --> 00:02:38,139
Default has always worked
really well for me.

60
00:02:39,300 --> 00:02:42,806
And we're ready to put our
shimmer vinyl onto our mat.

61
00:02:42,806 --> 00:02:45,340
The Cricut design space is
gonna automatically put you

62
00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:47,229
into paper saving mode.

63
00:02:47,229 --> 00:02:48,378
What does that mean?

64
00:02:48,378 --> 00:02:50,240
That means it's gonna put your image

65
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,969
in the top left-hand corner.

66
00:02:51,969 --> 00:02:53,879
But let's say I was
using this sheet of vinyl

67
00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:57,930
and I'd already used
this top corner piece,

68
00:02:57,930 --> 00:03:02,699
you can come into Edit
right here on your computer

69
00:03:02,699 --> 00:03:04,289
and then you can move your image around

70
00:03:04,289 --> 00:03:06,960
to anywhere on the vinyl that you want.

71
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,289
And this mat corresponds to the mat

72
00:03:09,289 --> 00:03:10,639
that you're gonna be
putting into your machine.

73
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,039
So you just have to keep
those things in mind

74
00:03:12,039 --> 00:03:13,853
when you're working on this.

75
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,500
We want it in the top left corner.

76
00:03:16,500 --> 00:03:18,210
So we're gonna click Done.

77
00:03:18,210 --> 00:03:19,969
Now we're ready to load our mat.

78
00:03:19,969 --> 00:03:20,960
The first thing I like to do

79
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,289
is take my protective cover off.

80
00:03:23,289 --> 00:03:24,840
I always make sure I save this

81
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,849
because it keeps your
mats nice and sticky.

82
00:03:26,849 --> 00:03:29,469
You don't want them to get dusty or dirty

83
00:03:29,469 --> 00:03:31,620
'cause they won't last quite as long.

84
00:03:31,620 --> 00:03:36,620
Another tip that I love
is rolling up your vinyl

85
00:03:37,050 --> 00:03:39,199
makes it a lot easier to
place it onto the mat.

86
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:41,009
So I'll roll it up.

87
00:03:41,009 --> 00:03:44,800
Sometimes I even keep the paper
tube inside the middle of it

88
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,432
and just roll it straight
down onto my mat.

89
00:03:50,069 --> 00:03:52,219
Now we're ready to load it in.

90
00:03:52,219 --> 00:03:54,689
You need to press the Load/Unload button

91
00:03:54,689 --> 00:03:57,400
and at the same time you
want kind of an even pressure

92
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,020
right here on the end so
that your mat doesn't skew

93
00:04:00,020 --> 00:04:01,949
as you're placing it in the machine.

94
00:04:01,949 --> 00:04:03,210
As soon as your mat is loaded

95
00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:05,712
you just need to press
the blinking Cricut light.

96
00:04:39,149 --> 00:04:41,783
Now that your machine's done
cutting we'll unload the mat.

97
00:04:49,271 --> 00:04:50,199
This is a brand new mat

98
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:52,000
so it's gonna be a little bit stickier

99
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,019
than the rest of the
times you're using it.

100
00:04:54,019 --> 00:04:56,730
Again, I like to pull this way.

101
00:04:56,730 --> 00:04:58,730
Or the very best way
you can unload your mat

102
00:04:58,730 --> 00:05:02,829
is to turn it over and peel the
mat away from whatever it is

103
00:05:02,829 --> 00:05:04,600
that you're cutting.

104
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,069
The mats are really nice and bendy

105
00:05:06,069 --> 00:05:08,403
and you're not gonna hurt
your mat by doing it this way.

106
00:05:10,350 --> 00:05:12,882
Let's prep this for
weeding by cutting it out.

107
00:05:22,730 --> 00:05:24,430
Now you wanna weed off

108
00:05:24,430 --> 00:05:26,899
everything that's not
a part of your image.

109
00:05:26,899 --> 00:05:28,740
So where all this white space is,

110
00:05:28,740 --> 00:05:30,069
everything that's right there

111
00:05:30,069 --> 00:05:32,483
is what we wanna pick off
with our weeding tool.

112
00:05:44,699 --> 00:05:47,389
Because we're using the shimmer
vinyl we wanna make sure

113
00:05:47,389 --> 00:05:49,879
that we're using strong
grip transfer tape.

114
00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:52,160
If you use the regular transfer tape,

115
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,209
it's just not gonna stick

116
00:05:53,209 --> 00:05:55,653
to the texture of your shimmer vinyl.

117
00:05:59,350 --> 00:06:01,100
Cut your strong grip transfer tape

118
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:05,083
the same size as your image or
maybe just a tiny bit larger.

119
00:06:07,620 --> 00:06:09,192
And then we're ready to peel.

120
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:18,810
You wanna place your strong
grip transfer tape on top,

121
00:06:18,810 --> 00:06:22,793
burnish it really well
with your Cricut scraper,

122
00:06:24,870 --> 00:06:29,540
and then my favorite tip
again is to turn it over

123
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:34,682
and remove the paper backing
with the paper backing on top.

124
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,822
Now we're just ready to
apply it to our project.

125
00:06:52,730 --> 00:06:56,273
Gonna get it nice and
centered, burnish it,

126
00:06:58,810 --> 00:07:01,279
and then slowly peel this off.

127
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,329
If you can peel it at a sharper angle

128
00:07:04,329 --> 00:07:06,430
it will peel off a little bit more easily.

129
00:07:15,230 --> 00:07:16,100
All done.

130
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:17,819
Now that you've seen
some of the fun projects

131
00:07:17,819 --> 00:07:20,649
you can start creating with
your new Cricut Wild Rose,

132
00:07:20,649 --> 00:07:22,709
I have one last tip for you before we go,

133
00:07:22,709 --> 00:07:25,839
and that is to put your
clear protective sheet

134
00:07:25,839 --> 00:07:28,490
back on your mat so it
stays nice and sticky

135
00:07:28,490 --> 00:07:29,639
for your next project.

136
00:07:29,639 --> 00:07:32,750
And also be sure to
hashtag Wild Rose Cricut

137
00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:34,750
so we can see the fun things you create.
