There have been so many projects that I have seen online that I have wanted to try and have in my home but I did not have the elusive Cricut. I knew that this clever machine cut vinyl, fabric and more – I needed to get my hands on this machine. As an art teacher I was sure that there was so much more to this machine and the crafter in me could not wait to see it in action.
Finally, I have my very own Cricut Explore Air 2. Eek! So excited, but now the countdown to when it arrived.
The day finally arrived- my mint Cricut Explore Air 2 arrived. So now what, I was afraid to look to see what I needed to do to get this machine started. I was so surprised at HOW EASY it was to get this machine to work. All I had to do was unpack the machine, plug it in, attach a USB cord to my computer (our WIFI is not great) and download the Cricut Access plug-in. Bam! That is it.
This beauty came with a sample project that you could do or skip. I decided to see this machine in action. Oh my goodness, the precision cutting and writing – yes I said writing is unbelievable! I had no idea that this machine writes as well- with beautiful markers, now I really can’t wait to get this machine working. This project was just using a black marker but the nice people at Cricut sent me a whole set to use too! How nice is this little card? Adorable.
I am so excited to see what else my new machine can do- with all of the products I received as well as a year-long subscription to Cricut Access, the possibilities are endless. I have my eye on an adorable Mermaid image – stay tuned for another great project soon.
