Beginner Cricut Class - Includes Cartridge - With Carren

Class: Beginner Cricut Class
Date: Friday, January 20th
Time: 7:00-9:00pm
Class Fee: $40.00
Instructor: Carren Crossley, Cropsplus@ourcropsplus.com

Does this sound like you: You want to have the latest and greatest supplies, so you bought a Cricut and some cartridges…but you've never used them. Are you intimidated by it? Not sure what all the buttons do? Do you avoid looking at it entirely??

We can help! Learn to expand your creativity and make good use of your Cricut! This is a BEGINNER class. We will review basics like: how each of the buttons function; how to care for your machine and mat; how different papers work in the machine and pressure/speed controls. Then we'll put our new skills to work by making three cards (even an envelope!) using the Cricut.

(Cards pictured here are examples - actual cards to be made will be posted later)

We will be using the Cricut Sampler Cartridge. This excellent cartridge provides a sample from some of Cricut's most popular cartridges. And bonus: YOU KEEP THE CARTRIDGE! That's right - you keep the brand new cartridge to continue your Cricut education.

Supplies needed: Your own Cricut (we'll be working with the BASICS of the small Cricut or Cricut expression. Please bring your own.); a GOOD cutting mat; adhesive that works well for tiny areas; scissors. The class area will be wired for electricity.

This class is VERY limited - only 5 spots so each student can get specialized attention! To sign up, email Carren at Cropsplus@ourcropsplus.com
