Upgrading from the Cricut Explore Air to the Cricut Maker

November 12, 2018

If you’ve been following my blog for a bit, I’m sure you’re well aware by now that I am Cricut obsessed. I recently upgraded my machine to the Cricut Maker, so I thought I would take some time to introduce you to it and go over some of the differences between it and my Cricut Explore.

If you don’t know what a Cricut machine is, you are seriously missing out. They are writing, scoring and personal cutting machines that work with a wide variety of materials. I’m talking everything from paper, vinyl, adhesive foil, craft foam, iron-on transfers, window cling and more. In the past, I’ve made everything from iron-on shirts and pillows, gift cards, customized wine glasses, decanters, mugs, coasters, party banners and more. The crafting-possibilities really are endless with a Cricut machine. (Basically it’s magic.)

The Cricut Maker kicks things up a notch by introducing a rotary blade and an xacto knife blade. These new blades allows the Cricut Maker to cut fabric, chipboard, leather, kraft board, felt and corrugated cardboard.

DIY Personalized Notebooks with the Cricut Explore Air

I’m back again with another super easy DIY using my Cricut Explore Air. (It was only a matter of time!) I’ve had my Cricut for about 9 months now, and it’s safe to say that I’m still as obsessed with it as I was on day one.

I’m sure most of you are familiar with my machine by now, but just in case you’re not I’ll catch you up…

Cricut machines are personal cutting machines! They can write, score and cut a variety of materials such as vinyl, paper, faux leather, adhesive foil, iron-on and so much more. They come fully equipped with access to a web-based program called the Cricut Design Space that houses fonts and over 800 projects and 50,000 images for you to use to create projects out of. If you are design savvy, you can also create your own graphics and upload them.

Now that we have all the basics covered, let’s get to today’s DIY!

Seriously, you can make so many amazingly different things with it. For today’s craft, I’ll be using a material that I haven’t featured on the blog before: adhesive foil.
