Cricut Image Library Subscription is now Cricut Access™.


A new name and some new features were added to the Cricut Subscription last week.

In addition to the use of over 30,000 images, 1000 Make It Now Projects and 370 fonts in the Cricut Image Library,  Cricut Access™ subscribers now also save 10% off all orders on Cricut.com* and in Cricut Design Space.

Cricut Access™ subscribers will also be the first to access new images, projects and exclusive designs.

Thirteen exclusive new fonts were added with the introduction of Cricut Access™last week, along with new images also exclusive to Cricut Access.  

I love the writing feature in Cricut Design Space and that I can use pens with my Cricut Explore. 

I can't wait to use some these new fonts with my pens to journal on my scrapbook pages.   

Great new images were also added to Cricut Access™ - I noticed right away that some of these will go perfectly with some pages that I am working on. 

Items included in the Cricut Access™ subscription are now marked with an icon to make them easy to find in Design Space.

Look for the green Access™ icon to find projects and images included in Cricut Access™.

Design Space Images - images included have the green icon to the left of the image. 

Make It Now Section: Cricut Access™ images are highlighted with green Access™icon.

  I love that I can now see what is included with the Cricut Access™ subscription.  I was able to quickly choose a font for this tag by looking for fonts that had the Access™ icon.


Cricut Access™ is available monthly for $9.99/month (cancel anytime) or for one annual payment of $95.88 (New lower price! Was $99.99 - works out to be just $7.99/month now!)

Get To Know Cricut Explore One & Explore Air

**This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking through my links. 

Want the ability to easily make a personalized wedding gift or perhaps some unique home décor? Then you might find Cricut electronic cutting machines to be the best DIY crafting tool since the sewing machine. 

There are two machines that Cricut currently offers on their site:

• Cricut Explore One™
• Cricut Explore Air™

Cricut Explore One™ 

Cricut Explore One™ is a simple design-and-cut system. It’s versatile, easy to use, cuts very precisely, and is also incredibly affordable. With its irresistibly low price and limitless cutting potential, the Explore One is perfect for a new or beginning crafter. Here are a few notable features of the Explore One: 

Materials – All Cricut machines can cut an unbelievable variety of materials, for example:

• Paper
• Vinyl
• Iron-on
• Craft materials
• Upcycled materials
• Fabric
• Plastic
• Thick materials

Precision - Features Cut Smart™ technology, which allows you to cut a wide range of shapes and sizes with exceptional precision, from ¼" tall up to 11½" wide x 23½" tall. 

Smart Set® Dial - Each machine features a Smart Set® dial, which sets your settings (e.g. speed, pressure, etc.) for you so you don’t have to keep track of them. You just select the material that you're using on the Smart Set® dial and the machine's Cut Smart® technology will deliver a clean, professional cut. 

Images and Fonts - You can upload your own images and fonts for free on all three Cricut cutting machines. 

Cartridges - Both machines work with any Cricut cartridge and have the capability to hold all of your cartridges “virtually” in the cloud within your Cricut Design Space online software. So once you’ve loaded a cartridge, you’ll have it everywhere you go. 

Cricut’s Design Space™ and iPad® app - All Cricut Explore machines work hand-in-hand with Cricut’s Design Space™ (for PC, Mac®, iPad®, and iPhone®) that you get access to for free. 

Cricut Explore Air™

The Explore Air is the whole kit ‘n caboodle. It offers all the impressive features mentioned for the Explore One, but two key things set it apart:

1. It has a dual carriage for cutting and writing or cutting and scoring in one step. If you do a lot of paper crafting, this is the machine for you!
2. It has built-in Bluetooth® capability. You just use Cricut’s free iPad app and design anything you want from your iPad, just like you would on your home computer, but with the convenience of being able to take your projects with you anywhere. Then, you can just wirelessly send your project from your iPad to your Explore Air to bring it to life.

Now that you know a lot more about how Cricut Explore® machines work, I’ll focus next week’s post on how you can design here, there and everywhere with Cricut Design Space. You’ll be blown away by how easy it is.

Until then … Happy crafting! 

Cricut Classically Modern Cards - With Sympathy

Here is the first card that I have cut from my new Cricut Classically Modern Cards Cartridge.

As I was going through the handbook this card jumped out at me.   

I went through my Close To My Heart cardstock looking for colours that were a little more subdued since this is a sympathy card - 

usually I am drawn to pastel or jewel tones.   

I used CTMH Ruby Cardstock for the base of the card.

I cut the inner liner from CTMH Goldrush and mounted it to the inside back portion. 

You could also put it on the inside front but 

I like being able to look through the intricate design. 

The leaves were cut from CTMH Olive Cardstock.

The sentiment was cut from CTMH Goldrush and CTMH Outdoor Denim Cardstock.

I sponged the cuts with the same colours of ink to give the pieces a little definition, 

then added a piece of Gold glitter cardstock to the flower from my scraps.

I added a piece of Recollections Burlap ribbon and used 

CTMH Foam Tape to pop the sentiment up from the front of the card.
