Cricut Craftfest 2023
Something no one tells you about crafting with a Cricut machine is the technical side of things. And if you do not have naturally strong skills with a computer (and even if you do), learning something like this can seem overwhelming and impossible when you are new to it or just trying to level up. But don’t give up because I have something that will help you how to learn how to overcome that overwhelm and start to craft confidently with your Cricut machine. I’m so excited to invite you to the Cricut Craftfest2023 happening February 6-10!
At the Cricut Craftfest, you will learn everything from how to use Design Space to working with materials such as vinyl, paper, iron-on, wood, infusible ink, engraving, and more from 45 Cricut experts – including me!
You can learn all the exciting details about the summit over here, but here is a quick overview:
- The summit will run from February 6th-10th.
- Each day will be packed with talented speakers who are ready to help you confidently craft with your Cricut machine.
- We’ve got a pop-up Facebook group where you’ll find fellow Cricut besties, ask the speakers questions, and whatever else we come up with!
You can attend the summit absolutely free, but you can choose to grab the Cricut Craftfest All-Access Pass at any time.
The Cricut Craftfest All-Access Pass will give you lifetime access to the summit (meaning you get all the videos for life), plus project templates, video transcripts, and over $500 worth of exclusive Cricut bonuses from the speakers!
The All-Access Pass is currently being offered at a special price, and it will disappear for good once the summit is over, so start thinking about it now!

What Cricut Accessories Do I Need?
Cricut Essentials make putting the pieces together a joy. From tweezers that handle delicate parts to Cricut EasyPress for foolproof iron-on, every Essential makes a great project even greater, every step of the way. These are the Cricut Tools & Accessories I recommend for the serious crafter:
Cricut Easy Press
I highly recommend purchasing the Cricut Easy Press if you plan to do any iron-on or heat-transfer projects. The Cricut Easy Press will make your Cricut DIYs so much easier! The Cricut Easy Press comes in 3 different sizes, however, I own the 9 x 9 and it’s the perfect size for most projects.

Cricut Easy Press Mat
If you purchase the Cricut Easy Press, don’t forget to get the coordinating Easy Press Mat, which will protect your surfaces and projects from burning. Alternatively, you can use a folded towel, however, the mat is sleek and easier to store in the craft room 😉

Cricut Bright Pad
The lightweight, low-profile Cricut BrightPad makes crafting easier while reducing eye strain. It illuminates fine lines for tracing, cut lines for weeding, and more.

Cricut Cutting Mats
I suggest having a variety of cutting mats that are customized to match the weight of commonly used crafting materials. With three different mats specifically designed to work with different weights of materials, you can ensure success in all your projects.

Cricut Tool Set
You will thank me later for telling you to just get the Cricut Tool Set instead of buying each tool individually! The tools included in the Cricut toolset are all helpful when using your Cricut machine.

My favorite non-Cricut brand materials
You can find other brands of vinyl, iron-on, contact paper, and more outside of Cricut.com. A few of my favorites are:
- Oracal 651 Permanent Vinyl (find it here or at your local craft store)
- Siser HTV
- Dollar Tree clear contact paper (or shelf liner)
- Various fat-quarter fabrics at Walmart
- Felt sheets at local craft stores
Learning how to use your Cricut is really easy and fun once you get the hang of it. If you don’t have a Cricut Access Membership, I highly recommend it. I’ve had a Cricut Access Membership for years and it’s definitely worth the cost for all the benefits!

How To Choose a Cricut Machine
I bought my first Cricut machine in 2013… it was called the Cricut mini and was one of the first Cricut machines that didn’t have a keyboard. It was a great machine but as soon as Cricut released the Cricut Explore machine in 2014, I quickly bought it. A year later Cricut released the Cricut Explore Air and I bought that too. Then in 2017, Cricut released the Cricut Maker Machine and of course I bought it too. So you can say I’m pretty experienced with Cricut machines and have in-depth knowledge about using Cricut and various Cricut projects.

How To Save Money on Cricut Supplies
I love finding a good deal on Cricut vinyl craft supplies and I tend to stock up on Cricut craft supplies during sales (Cricut.com has the best Black Friday sale!) but Cricut supplies can be expensive!
