Beginner Cricut Class - Includes Cartridge!

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 four cards (even two envelopes!) using the Cricut.






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 (doesn't matter which one you own); a GOOD cutting mat; adhesive that works well for tiny areas; scissors. If you need a new mat, Crops Plus will be selling them at the crop for a discount ($4 for a 6x12 mat and $5 for a 12x12 mat) as well as the perfect glue pen. The class area will be wired for electricity.

Cost: $35
Time: Friday night, 7:00 - 8:30pm

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