Turned this hobby into a business after enrolling!
"The class made this new hobby so simple."
Sarah
Crafter and small business owner wanting to stop cutting everything by hand.
"The learning modules broke things down into easy to follow chunks, and before I knew it I was doing her sample projects and felt confident going back to my own designs and projects."
"For me, the Cricut, was certainly not as intuitive as I had hoped it would be. Alexis's course changed everything."

Add-On Lesson
Learn how to Cricut with Vinyl
- Covers adhesive (removable & permanent) and heat transfer vinyl
- Make t-shirts, bags, decals, and more!
- Only $14
Okay, but I spent $200+ on a Cricut, why spend more on a course?
The #1 reason students share why they don't use their Cricut: they. thought. it. would. be. easier.
- learning to Cricut on your own is time consuming and success isn't guaranteed
- $$$ will go down the drain on trial and error
- even tech savvy students needed extra help
Ehh I can teach myself
Totally. I taught myself.
Here's what I did:
πΉ googled everything
πΉ pieced together 15-20 YouTube tutorials
πΉ hunted down DIY accounts
πΉ spent months practicing fundamentals wasting over $150 on materials
But I would have saved time, frustration and $$$ if I had a one stop shop and someone to help me.

The A's to your Q's
Who is this course for?
β
you are just pulling your cricut out of the box.
β
you have a cricut and are struggling to understand how to use it or maybe it's collecting dust in your basement
β
you know how to use a Cricut, but want to learn how to use it with felt or vinyl specifically
β
you want the fundamentals so you can use your Cricut with confidence

What Cricut should I have to take this course?
The course video content is recorded using a Maker.
You may enroll in the course if you have a Maker 3, Explore Air 2 or Explore 3. There is instructional content specifically for both Explore and Maker series.
This course is not for Cricut Joy Owners because the Joy series machines cannot cut felt.
What happens once I purchase the course?
Upon purchase you will be emailed login access to the course dashboard and a supply list.
How will I receive 1 -on- 1 support?
E-mail support with a 1-2 day turnaround is included in the course.
For direct 1:1 message, video, and audio support on Instagram (students' fav part), you can add this for an additional fee. This is done through Instagram DM.
How is this course different from others?
1. With the Craft & Chat option, you receive private IG support. This alone is worth the cost of the course.
AND nobody offers this...
β not YouTube
β not Google
β not other Cricut courses
2. Focus on felt, building the skills necessary to cut with other materials.
You arenβt learning Cricut. Youβre learning how to use Cricut Design Space, the cloud based design platform that allows you to cut 100s of materials.
Once you have that down pat, you build the confidence to add a variety of materials and change out blades with ease.
If I take this course, will I be able to use my Cricut with materials other than felt or vinyl?
More lessons expanding on different materials will continue to be added.
The main thing about being successful with Cricut is building your confidence with navigating the design platform. Once you become proficient with this and practice with the practice projects included, you will have the tools to Cricut with all sorts of materials!
A year from now your Cricut will either be your best friend or collecting dust.
So, do you want to make use of your investment and make those Pins you've been saving OR do you want your purchase to be for nothing.
