When I first unboxed my Cricut, I was so excited. Then I promptly ruined my first mat, cut the wrong side of the vinyl, and forgot to mirror my iron-on. Sound familiar? Getting started with Cricut crafting can be overwhelming, but a few smart tips can completely change your experience.

Transfer tape is a clear, slightly sticky sheet that picks up your cut vinyl design and helps you place it exactly where you want it - straight, even, and intact. Think of it as the “middleman” between your design and your final project. Without it, you’d be trying to move every tiny letter, dot, and flourish one by one (and probably losing your mind in the process).

QuickSwap tools are a special family of tools made just for the Cricut Maker. They’re designed with interchangeable tips that all fit into one QuickSwap housing, which means you can easily swap between tools without buying a full new blade setup every time. Think of it as one magical handle that can do all the things! ✨
