In today’s Cricut Chat, we discuss a few different techniques including:
-Using the quadrant method to maximize scraps and reduce cutting time -Using a mask to help layer adhesive vinyl -How to search for only multilayered images in DS
When the Cricut Joy launched in mid-February, I embarked on what would become an almost daily live video series highlighting the Joy’s many features. These live videos, which happened on Facebook and were rebroadcast on YouTube, became quite popular, especially during the self isolation of Coronavirus. After a few more weeks of testing times, we settled on a schedule for the series and a name: Cricut Chat.
Cricut Chat is a daily live video show on Facebook, approximately 30 minutes long, and broadcasting Monday through Friday at 9am. We will also have a Cricut Date Night program on Saturday nights at 7pm, also on Facebook. You are welcome to join me and a bunch of other Cricut-crazy folks any day as we learn about all the wonderful things you can do with a Cricut.
Whenever possible, the program will be rebroadcast on YouTube and Facebook.
One area I left out of this programming is my blog. Since many people still come to visit my blog every day, I have decided to post a weekly summary of what was discussed in Cricut Chat and on Cricut Date Night.
Here are the videos from the first week of Cricut Chat:
Monday: SVG Cuts Umbrella Gift Bag
Tuesday: Lori Whitlock Pen Organizer
Wednesday: “M O M” Trifold Monogram Card from Cricut Design Space
I’m feeling generous, so I will be picking TWO winners of a medium sized EasyPress2 with matching EasyPress Mat that works beautifully with all Cricut Iron-On products!
And don’t forget to come back for loads and loads of information on how to use all of your Cricut machines–including the Cricut Maker, Explore machines and EasyPress, too!

Good luck, everyone!
Here’s a little about me:
I blog at Missritatotherescue.com! and now I vlog on YouTube.
I love to blog about a company called Cricut and all the wonderful machines they make that allow me to better craft my little world.
I’ve been crafting my whole life, but using Cricut machines since 2012 when my uncle asked me to celebrate the lives of a few beloved family members. From that one request, I was completely hooked on the Cricut brand! Back in 2014, the Cricut CEO chose me to be a Cricut Product Expert and I am the founder of three very popular Cricut-based groups on Facebook.
When I’m not blogging about my Cricut, I am “mothering” my son–aka “MO”–and my spunky and silly Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Ted E. Bear.
I am a native Bostonian and live in a beautiful (very) old house on Boston’s North Shore. I especially love exploring my wonderful city. I’ve been a Peabody-ite for the last 20 years of my life and while I might be a little biased, I think is one of the most amazing places to live, work and raise a family. PBD!
I am self supporting, so if you are interested in buying anything made by Cricut, please use my link: https://www.shareasale.com/u.cfm?d=403859&m=51766&u=1089398
When you use the “Miss Rita To The Rescue!” link and code MISSRITA2 you will receive an additional 10% off and free shipping on your order of $50 or more (some exclusions apply)!
Even in New England, it’s now time to dust off those grills and put out the patio furniture. What better way could you celebrate your love of outdoor living than to decorate your deck, porch or patio with some adorable Table Lanterns.
The pattern for this lantern comes from one of my favorite SVG designers, Lori Whitlock (shop.loriwhitlock.com) and it fits beautifully on a 8.5″ x 11″ piece of card stock.
I usually pick up packs of card stock at Michael’s. I generally can find the 50 sheet Recollections card stock samplers on sale for about $2 a stack.
In this video, I show you how to assemble these Paper Lanterns step-by-step so you can easily replicate this project with your Cricut Explore or Maker.
This project is NOT available for purchase in Cricut Design Space, but it can be uploaded to your canvas after purchase. Once uploaded, you can cut all of the pieces expertly on your machine.
Miss Rita’s Cricut Design Space files are always FREE to use and there are literally dozens of great projects to choose from.
