<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hello Everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a>! Many of you are aware that I am a HUGE fan of cutting machines. Since 2014 I have bought and reviewed some of the top selling consumer based cutting machines. In the past 6 years I have reviewed, compared and even returned a few of these machines. Because of these reviews, I built an audience based around unbiased honest reviews. So, when I saw a kickstarter for a laser cutting machine, I was intrigued until I saw the price (more on that in our review)</div>

<br /></div>
Now, before I dive into the review and my thoughts, I wanted to clearly communicate that this is NOT a 3D printer. <a href="https://amzn.to/31V5L7H">3D Printers</a> have been all the rage recently, but they are not geared towards the craft market. Sure <a href="https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/alta?aff_id=CpNFS1YydYJYHDkuFkE4RA">Silhouette America</a> has recently released their <a href="https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/alta?aff_id=CpNFS1YydYJYHDkuFkE4RA">Alta 3D Printer</a> geared towards the craft market, but it is not exactly what I was looking for. Why? Well <a href="https://amzn.to/31V5L7H">3D Printers</a> can make 3D items by extruding plastic, but what if you want a tool for cutting and etching? As a crafter I was limited to the home based machines that were available to me. But which machine would work for me needs? What machine could really impact my DIY world.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As a crafter/DIYer I have reviewed and compared a ton of crafting machines on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfa0jG_SgDO_fm-izYqDgmn_54EA7gl2A">YouTube Channel</a>. On my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/hesskr?sub_confirmation=1">YouTube Channel</a>, I have reviewed the <a href="http://shrsl.com/243hy">Cricut Explore Air 2</a>, <a href="https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/cameo?aff_id=CpNFS1YydYJYHDkuFkE4RA">Silhouette Cameo</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/2SvyZXT">Brother ScanNCut</a> and the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n658">Cricut Maker</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In addition to these reviews, I also did a whole video series comparing these machines so consumers could get their hands on the best machine. I know that money is the #1 factor in deciding on a cutting machine, so my mission was to get the information out to the consumer in a non-biased way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now, up to this point, the BEST MACHINE that suited my needs would have been the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n658">Cricut Maker</a>. It offered over 4,000 grams of force and offered a suite of tools called the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1xujp">Adaptive Tool System</a> which gave the consumer to cut thousands of materials from fabric to wood. So, when the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> hit the market my followers started sharing the Facebook Ads instantly with me. At the time, I looked at the price and kindly moved along as it was $2,500! Compare to the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n658">Cricut Maker</a> at $349. I just could not justified the cost. With that said, I started to take notice of what consumers and business owners were making with this machine.<br />
<br />
Naturally as crafters we grow and evolve in our craftsmanship. I started my journey as a paper crafter but then was introduced to <a href="https://www.chalkcouture.com/kenskreations">Chalk Couture</a>. If you are not sure what that is and want to find out more, I highly recommend taking a peek at this <a href="https://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2017/07/what-is-chalk-couture.html">This Blog Post (By Clicking Here)</a> or <a href="https://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2019/07/should-i-join-chalk-couture-3-ways-faqs.html">This Post On How To Experience Chalk Couture</a> in addition to my <a href="https://youtube.com/chalkcouturekenskreations">Chalk Couture YouTube Channel</a>. <a href="https://www.chalkcouture.com/kenskreations">Chalk Couture</a> opened my eyes to the DIY trend happening all across america. With this trend comes the need for a suite of tools (or machine) that would allow me to cut items that my <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n658">Cricut Maker</a> just could not handle. Naturally I started to look at <a href="https://amzn.to/31T7n1X">Laser Cutters</a>. <a href="https://amzn.to/31T7n1X">Laser Cutters</a> are powerful devices that can create intricate shapes and detailed etchings on plastics, woods and even metals. Now that I had a need, my attention went straight to the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> that had been shared numerous times with me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWt_hZzeidBZ9XQqqrLoYzXr68jkUYhVOHr5_x2-wE_s6XoDyCx8Wt65YoCddCvCM2wD6y1QNUA9WjmeVSgKl3f0ofNwEvObNynFvQ-zcJikY2oYBnqcCsmnqThUZbdbOZjPAEaAutFpGS/s640/Glowforge+%25281%2529.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> produces <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Laser Cutters</a> that are compact and affordable enough for a small business or a hobbyist who needs more power. Now, for me the cost was the biggest con for me. With that said, <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> does allow for a discount of <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">UP TO $500 OFF</a> when you use our link here: <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT</a>. The reason I am disclosing this, is the price list below reflects a user gaining access to the discount! Now, keep in mind of your LONG TERM goals for this machine. I mention this as we started with the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Basic</a> and with-in months upgraded to the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Pro</a>. So, let's take a look at the three options<br />
<br />
<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT"><img border="0" height="530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidsFs9PnNytZwALwUhcM4clDtNKRPDnd-f_be0k8NGXH7JbBauXXxiqqFC6U6rN-oTv5f4TNBGvHr08wGz6fwGDJ5BbY0woyrdg6hmVM_C19EA01jMffU5XeD_SXz6Vcev1ypMR5FFokIk/s640/Screen+Shot+2020-02-14+at+11.08.35+AM.png" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
The machine options are as follows:<br />
<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Basic</a> with a cost of $2395 (<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">With Our Discount Link</a>)<br />
<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Plus</a> with a cost of $3745 (<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">With Our Discount Link</a>)<br />
<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Pro</a> with a cost of $5495 (<a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">With Our Discount Link</a>)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We bought the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Basic</a>, however in hindsight of what this machine can do I wish we would have went with the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Pro</a>. Why? Well the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Pro</a> is the same size as the other machines but can print/cut larger objects with the pro passthrough slot. It has an upgraded cooling system for all day use. It also features upgraded components and increased laser power, with top engraving speeds 3 times as fast as the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Basic</a> and cutting speeds 1.2 times as fast. The <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Pro</a> has double the warranty and is also a Class 4 laser. Not sure which model is right for you? Take a peek at this <a href="https://glowforge.com/tech-specs">Comparison Chart</a>. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now your <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> <span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">exhaust fan is an important element, as is the included four-inch exhaust duct hose. The hose is vital because the </span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a><span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"> engraves by burning whatever material you're working with. Whether you're burning <a href="https://shop.glowforge.com/">Wood or Etching Acrylic </a>, this creates unpleasant fumes that must be ventilated for safety. You can run the hose out of a window or into the optional <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">$995 Compact Filter</a>.</span></div>

The <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Compact Filter</a> lets you use your <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> anywhere in your home, school, or office. The size of a recycle bin, it cleans the air coming out of your <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a>. If you do not use a <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Compact Filter</a>, your <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> comes with everything you will need to vent through a window. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> shipped with-in two weeks and let's just say it is a pretty big package. Now I could write and record us unboxing and setting up the <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a>, but why do this when <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> has made this process so easy!</div>

<br />
<span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">The </span></span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Pro</a><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"> is about the size and shape of a large-format printer, measuring 8.25 by 38 by 20.75 inches (H/W/D). Its hefty impression is enhanced by the large slot on the front, an aspect unique to the Pro to accommodate work pieces larger than 20 by 18 inches (the workable area of the bed is 19.5 by 11 inches, but </span></span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"> lasers can hold pieces that exceed that space). You're still limited to 19.5 inches of width, but you can slide work pieces of any length through the Pro. The top flips open to reveal the working area, and the front panel flips downward to provide more clearance for moving work pieces into position.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Besides the door, the only other element of note on the top of the laser is a metal-ringed, illuminated start button (this is what starts the MAGIC). After you send instructions from your PC or MAC to the </span></span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">, the button will flash, indicating it's ready to begin. Pressing the button will start the process. I still get excited pressing that BUTTON! </span></span><br />

Now that you have <a href="https://glowforge.com/support/topic/unboxing-setting-up/unboxing-and-setting-up-your-glowforge">Unboxing & Set-Up</a> on your <a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a>, you are ready to experience the amazing power of this machine. I know at first, it can be intimidating, but once you start playing with the machine you are going to have so much fun! <span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;">The </span></span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Pro</a><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"> uses a 45-watt CO</span><sub style="--transition-duration: 250ms; border: 0px solid rgb(247, 247, 247); box-sizing: inherit; color: #292929; text-align: start;">2</sub><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"> laser that qualifies as a regulated Class IV laser product. According to the company, it can engrave 150 percent faster than the </span></span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Plus</a><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"> and three times faster than the </span></span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge Plus</a><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;">, which rely on 40-watt lasers. While the Pro is more powerful, its cutting and engraving capabilities are identical to the Plus and Basic. Its big benefit, besides the slot for large work pieces, is speed. </span></span><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">All three </span></span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a><span style="text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><span style="color: #292929;"> models can cut </span><a href="https://shop.glowforge.com/" style="color: #292929;">Acrylic, Fabric, Leather, Paper, Wood, and nearly any other material softer than Plexiglass</a><span style="color: #292929;">.

</ul>
<span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; text-align: start;">It's a fairly direct, intuitive system that lets you set multiple image files for one burn and individually place and scale each component before starting the project. Now keep in mind that the </span><a href="https://accounts.glowforge.com/users/sign_in" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: start;">Glowforge Web App</a> does not allow for you to design items inside the application. So, items you want to <span style="text-align: start;"><span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Burn, Etched, Engraved or Cut will need to be bought or created in a third party software. I personally buy many of my SVG files from Etsy or the </span><a href="https://www.silhouettedesignstore.com/" style="color: #292929; font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Silhouette Online Store</a><span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">, which allows you to purchase their designs in a SVG format. You can also make your own vector files using <a href="https://www.adobe.com/products/illustrator.html">Adobe Illustrator</a>. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">The </span></span><a href="https://accounts.glowforge.com/users/sign_in" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: start;">Glowforge Web App</a><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"> features dozens of material presets to work with. However one of my favorite features of the </span></span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> is the introduction of the <span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; text-align: start;">QR codes found on materials bought from the company (or included in the sample project kits bundled with the cutter). <a href="https://shop.glowforge.com/">CLICK HERE</a> to see all of the materials offered by </span><a href="https://glowforge.us/r/LXEBYBTT">Glowforge</a> as part of their <a href="https://shop.glowforge.com/" style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; text-align: start;">Proofgrade Materials</a>. I love using this feature as the camera scans the QR code and <span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; text-align: start;">automatically set the laser correctly. No need to worry about getting all of the settings correct. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; text-align: start;">With that said, you can also configure burns manually using a variety of adjustments such as laser speed and intensity. I find that plywood and draft board presets work very well for those materials found online or at your local hardware store. You can also use the community generated setting guide in the <a href="https://community.glowforge.com/t/welcoming-the-world-to-beyond-the-manual/26967">Beyond The Manual</a> section. In fact, I highly recommend taking a peek at this user generated settings document <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sWOebDU94HwezYPbHa3YdtXjpLbEl_vEPvCb1dSByL4/edit#gid=825472682">Found Here</a>.</span></div>

We have only had this machine a little over 6 months, but we have already had a blast creating amazing projects. Before I share off just a sample of things we have done, I want you to keep in mind a few things we have learned:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Engraving items is time-consuming, especially if they're detailed. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">The Glowforge app has multiple settings for drawings and photos</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Including Draft, SD, HD, and 3D Graphics and SD, HD, and 3D Photos. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Most graphic/photo settings use dithering to create different levels of light and dark. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">The 3D settings vary the laser intensity to create deeper burns for darker parts of an image.</span></span></li>
<li>The time required varies wildly depending on the size and detail of the burn. </li>
<li>A Draft Graphic burn of an 8-by-12-inch piece of acrylic might take an hour and a half.</li>
<li>A 3D Photo burn might take three and a half hours. </li>
<li>HD Photo burn could take over six. </li>
<li>Cutting is much faster, taking only a few minutes to carve out flat pieces of acrylic or wood.</li>
<li>Be aware of potentially hazardous fumes when using the Glowforge. </li>
<li>EXHAUST out a window or use the compact filter.</li>
<li>Not doing so will result in hazardous fumes in your workspace.</li>
<li>These include harmful vaporized wood or plastic which isn't something you want in your lungs.</li>
<li>Lasers are nearly silent, but your burns/engraving will be very noisy.</li>
<li>With the duct hose running out of a window, the laser's built-in fan will spin quite loudly. </li>
<li>With the hose plugged into the compact filter, the filter's equally loud. </li>
<li> However, you safely configure it. The Glowforge simply isn't a quiet device.</li>
<li>The smell of burning wood when cutting is normal, as is a bit of smoke</li>
<li>When etching acrylic, it will smell equivalent that of a nail salon.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #292929; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">We have made a variety of test prints on acrylic and wood, mostly creating cutouts for our </span></span><a href="https://www.chalkcouture.com/kenskreations">Chalk Couture</a> business<span style="color: #292929; font-family: times, "times new roman", serif; text-align: start;">, coasters, and signs for high school reunions. Here are some of our unedited projects and videos. Please keep in mind this video is not edited and shows some cutting, etching and photos. </span><br />

Hey everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In August of 2017, I was fortunate to attend the "Make Something You Love" event in Utah. At this event, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6bf">Cricut</a> announced some new products coming to the DIY movement. The BIG announcement was the introduction of the NEW <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a>. At the time they announced the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a>, they shared the adaptive tool system which makes the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> revolutionary! </div>

<a name='more'></a>In today's post, I am going to cover the amazing <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> and the adaptive tool system! <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6bf">Cricut</a> has released truly a unique cutting machine that finally offers the ability to change your machines tools WITHOUT buying or upgrading to a new machine! The <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> features unique, commercial-grade technology that controls the direction of the tool and the cut pressure to match the material being used. Plus, with the 10X more cutting power you can take on more materials than ever with the revolutionary adaptive tool system. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: white; font-family: graphik, "san francisco", roboto, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; text-align: left;">Only C</span>At the time of launch, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6bf">Cricut</a> announced the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> and the first tool for the adaptive tool system, the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1m0">Rotary Blade</a>. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1m0">Rotary Blade</a> gave the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> the ability to cut through hundreds of different fabric material with amazing intricacy. However, what really intrigued me was the "promise" of a suite of tools for the adaptive tool system. So, has <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6bf">Cricut</a> delivered on this promise? Well, in a way yes!<br />

<a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> offers the widest range of tools for cutting, scoring, writing and adding decorative effects - all so you can take on virtually any project you can imagine. Plus, with more tools coming, <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> grows WITH YOU as you master each new craft! The first tool for the adaptive tool system was the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1m0">Rotary Blade</a> which gave the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> the ability to cut through hundreds of different fabric material with amazing intricacy. Soon after <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6bf">Cricut</a> released the revolutionary <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1nh">Knife Blade</a> and the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1kc">Scoring Wheel</a>. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1kc">Scoring Wheel</a> introduced us to the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1km">QuickSwap</a> Housing. </div>

On July 8th, 2019 <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6bf">Cricut</a> announced 4 more tools that would be added to not only the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1km">QuickSwap</a> housing but the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> adaptive tool system. </div>

With Over 10 tools, plus <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n672">Pens</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n673">Scoring Stylus</a> and more it can get a little overwhelming. So, let's take a closer look at everything the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> can offer the consumer!<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that you can see all that the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> can offer the consumer, let's break it down by each tool in the adaptive tool system, starting with the tool that started it all off. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1le">Fine Tip Blade</a> (Previously The German Carbide Blade).<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This durable and versatile blade makes precise, detailed cuts through most light to medium-weight materials, including <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n69t">cardstock</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n68x">vinyl</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n69d">iron-on</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6a4">poster board</a>, and more.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1m0">Rotary Blade</a> was the first tool released for the adaptive tool system and it was a game changer. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1m0">Rotary Blade</a> marked the first time a home-based cutting system had a TRUE rotary blade that could go virtually 360 degrees in cutting!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1nh">Knife Blade</a> was announced at the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> launch but delayed due to technical issues. I have to admire <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6bf">Cricut</a> for holding back a release due to the fact that the tool did not perform as expected. However, once the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1nh">Knife Blade</a> debuted, it had to get the consumer to shift their expectations first! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The extra deep <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1nh">Knife Blade</a> cuts thicker and denser materials up to 2.4mm (3/32") with ease and safety. Ideal for a wide range of practical and artisan materials like chipboard, basswood, and tooled leather. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1kc">Scoring Wheel</a> was a HUGE customer request. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> offered 10X the pressure to use with the new tools, however, the original <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1nx">Scoring Stylus</a> was pretty underwhelming. So, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1n6bf">Cricut</a> listened and released the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1kc">Scoring Wheel</a> that featured a single or double score! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Make every fold sharp, crisp, and to the point. <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1nz">Single Scoring Wheel</a> places razor-sharp creases in light to medium-weight materials like cardstock and acetate. <a href="http://shrsl.com/1p1o2">Double Scoring Wheel</a> creates crisp folds in coated poster board and light cardboard.</div>

<span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;"><u><br /></u><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">What is the sublimation heat transfer process? By adding heat and pressure to your drawing, you can permanently transfer the image from plain paper to polyester products such as totes, mugs, t-shirts, luggage tags…the list goes on and on. We got our hands on these markers and wanted to play with them and our </span><a href="https://amzn.to/2IsrHPQ" style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Silhouette Cameo 3</a><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">, which you can take a peek here:</span></span><br />

<u>🎨🎨🎨DIRECTIONS FOR USE🎨🎨🎨</u></div>
<ol style="background-color: white; margin: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1em; text-align: center;">Use the markers to create your artwork on plain paper. The final product is a mirror image so any text must be reversed (a stencil may be helpful). The final transferred image will appear brighter than it does on paper. Note: Be sure to protect your drawing surfaces from marker ink bleed by placing additional sheet(s) of paper underneath the original.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Secure your design face down to the item you want to transfer to using thermal tape. Be sure to remove any protective film from the blank prior to transfer.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Place the secured item under heat while adding firm pressure according to the recommended settings provided with the blank.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Allow the item to cool before handling.</span></li>
<li style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 1em; padding: 0px 0px 0px 1em; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: times, "times new roman", serif;">Gently remove the transfer tape and paper from the item to reveal your unique vivid design.</span></li>

<span style="font-family: times;">I meet the amazing team of <a href="http://shrsl.com/1f3i1" target="_blank">Therm-O-Web</a> at the 2017 Creativation. In my reviews and craft tips video series, I had shown my viewers how they could use ANY laminator with <a href="http://shrsl.com/1ameb" target="_blank">Deco Foil</a>. Take a peek here:</span><br />

<br />
When I walked into the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1f3i1" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank">Therm-O-Web</a><span style="font-family: times;">, I was just browsing their new stuff and a beautiful young lady approached me and said " Hey, I know you! We LOVED your video using our foils and your laminator!" This lovely lady was Miss Julia Sandvoss, the Director of Social Media and Education with </span><a href="http://shrsl.com/1f3i1" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank">Therm-O-Web</a>. Because of her, a beautiful relationship started and I am now officially their biggest fan!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This was also the first year that <a href="http://shrsl.com/1ame6" target="_blank">Gina K</a> released her new dies, stamps, and inks! I was HOOKED at first sight. Of course, <a href="http://shrsl.com/1f3i1" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank">Therm-O-Web</a><span style="font-family: times;"> offers more than just foil and </span><a href="http://shrsl.com/1ame6" target="_blank">Gina K</a> items.

It should be no surprise that <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us" target="_blank">Cricut</a> is one of my strongest business partners. The story of how I started with <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us" target="_blank">Cricut</a> is actually where it all started. I<br />
<br />
n 2008, I saw an infomercial on the <a href="https://youtu.be/IEXrw4pWJeo" target="_blank">Cricut Create</a>. If you have not seen this amazing piece of footage take a peek here:<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IEXrw4pWJeo" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
Anyways, my interest was peaked and I told Sean all about it. Well, my birthday next year he bought me the <a href="https://youtu.be/P_E_eEMAvEg" target="_blank">Cricut Expression</a>. Once again if you have not seen these older infomercials you need to! <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/P_E_eEMAvEg" width="560"></iframe>
<br />
<br />
Well, after I opened my package I pushed the box to the side and it sat in my closet for two years. That was until my BFF Ali broke it out and we started cutting little stars and I was hooked! However, I was not ecstatic with the "button process". Hitting shift and finding codes for my images seemed too hard. Well, lucky me! <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us" target="_blank">Cricut</a> had just released their biggest and greatest machine to date, the <a href="https://youtu.be/MQYgucNS99M?t=78" target="_blank">Cricut Imagine</a>. I could not find an official review on this machine but did find a video of one of my good YouTube friends Maygen Elizabeth. You can take a peek here:<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MQYgucNS99M?start=77" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
Well, if you had this machine you know the issues it had. Overpriced, Ink was expensive, registration marks issues, it was heavy and so many more. I was pretty happy with the machine, but I had heard of a new machine to hit the market and people were raving about it, the name Silhouette Cameo!</div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<br /></div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DYPI94gvwc8" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
As soon as watching this, I was hooked and I bought the machine right away and SOLD ALL MY CRICUT products and was ready to be TEAM SILHOUETTE. For the next couple of years, I was in love and had officially broken it off with my <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank">Cricut</a><span style="font-family: times;">!! Goodbye machines, gypsy, and cartridges. Hello, SVGS and Print-then-Cut. WAIT! HOLD THE PRESS! What is this? </span><a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank">Cricut</a> is releasing a new machine? <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank">Cricut</a> has new leadership? <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank">Cricut</a> no longer needs cartridges? Oh well, I am happy with my Silhouette. But, I will just watch the HSN presentation to see if I might need it:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SnOj1VgZbWk?start=77" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had my hesitations about the machine, however, I grabbed my credit card and purchased my original <a href="https://youtu.be/SnOj1VgZbWk" target="_blank">Cricut Explore</a> and waited what seemed like years for it to arrive. Once it arrived and I started using it I noticed many people asking which machine was better. The Silhouette Cameo or <a href="https://youtu.be/SnOj1VgZbWk" target="_blank">Cricut Explore</a>. So Sean and I set out on VERY FIRST product comparison video:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/aox_OHb-d8o?start=77" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Now you have to understand, at that time NO ONE was comparing those machines. So essentially I had the first! And boy did it ever change my life. If you have seen this video, you can tell in my voice how impressed I was with the changes <a href="https://shop.cricut.com/en_us" style="font-family: times;" target="_blank">Cricut</a> had made to their machines. I posted the video and it started to get shared and noticed. Within months I had a call with the CEO <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ashish.arora.5855" target="_blank">Ashish Arora</a>. That call changed my life! He encouraged me to continue with my product reviews and encouraged me to compare his machine with all others on the market as he felt it was and would always be THE BEST! So I took his advice and the rest is history. That is how I started doing product reviews in the crafting industry! </div>

What do I say about <a href="http://shrsl.com/1jegr" target="_blank">Cricut Cuties</a>, besides they are REALLY CUTE? In fact, these little guys were introduced to the world as a MYSTERY VINYL figurine. You know the kind you can find all over the Disney Parks. The customer could buy the <a href="http://shrsl.com/1jegr" target="_blank">Mystery Cricut Cuties</a> for around $5-$20 and would have to wait to get them to see which one they had inside. They only released the first run of these guys, and some in the photos below were NEVER released! I have all the ones they released, but can you tell which ones never released?

One of these companies I feel like I was at the birth of. You see <a href="https://www.facebook.com/christopher.alan13" target="_blank">Christopher Alan</a> (or Christopher Cropp) and I meet each other when we both started our <a href="http://shrsl.com/mq0a" target="_blank">Cricut</a> journies together. At that time we started chatting and our personalities hit it off. I invited him to take part in a podcast that I was speaking in with my other dear friend Rob from <a href="https://www.scrappydew.com/" target="_blank">Scrappy Dew</a>. After many weeks of hosting these podcast, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/christopher.alan13" target="_blank">Christopher Alan</a> debuted his FIRST EVER stamp club. It was his signature <a href="http://shrsl.com/knma-5qd-b99dsf_1-1" target="_blank">Thanks Stamp Set</a>. I had no idea that a single stamp set would launch a DIY empire. So today in our FIRST giveaway, let's chat about his amazing creation <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/?aff=27" target="_blank">Brutus Monroe</a></div>

"Brutus Monroe" was created by founder Christopher Alan to bring together a mix of masculine and feminine stamp designs as well as a variety of products with the modern crafter in mind. All of our products are carefully engineered to work in tandem with one another and create a simplistic creative experience. We encourage you to take a look at our creative blog and galleries for ideas and additional information. </div>

Hey everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a>.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In August of 2017, I was fortunate to attend the "Make Something You Love" event in Utah. At this event, <a href="http://shrsl.com/mq0a">Cricut</a> announced some new products coming to the DIY movement. The BIG announcement was the introduction of the NEW <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a>. At the time they announced the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a>, they shared the adaptive tool system which makes the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> revolutionary! The first tool for the adaptive tool system was the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Frotary-blade-kit.html">Rotary Tool</a> which gave the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> the ability to cut through hundreds of different fabric material with amazing intricacy. But the tool that I had my eye on since the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> launch was the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fknife-blade.html">Knife Blade</a>. Well, today is the day that I finally get to test this amazing addition to the adaptive tool system. In today's post, we will cover what makes the knife blade different, give you 10 tips for beginners and also show you how to change the blade! All of this after the jump....</div>

As I prepared to go to the 2018 Creativation, I started to inquire into new vendors that would be featuring product at the show. One vendor, in particular, caught my eye with their unique style. <a href="https://visibleimage.co.uk/">Visible Images</a> featured a fresh new look for masculine stamps that I had been looking forward to for a while. I was very excited to make their booth one of my first stops. In this post, we will take a peek at their Creativation booth and I will walk you through one of my first projects featuring this amazing product line. </div>

Hey everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a>! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of you are aware that I like to change it up and use many different products in my craft room, so when <a href="http://scrapbook.com/">Scrapbook.com</a> reached out to me to review the <a href="http://rangerink.com/new-ranger-letter-it-program/">Letter It-Line, </a> I jumped at the chance. A few weeks later I was delighted to see my USPS man delivered me some happy mail! Now even though these supplies were given to me by <a href="http://scrapbook.com/">Scrapbook.com</a>, they do not impact my overall review and comments! In today's post, I will show you both of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube Video</a>. One shows the entire line during an unboxing video and the other walks you through step-by-step on creating this anniversary card! </div>

Ranger is excited to introduce the <a href="http://rangerink.com/new-ranger-letter-it-program/">Letter It</a> program!! <a href="http://rangerink.com/new-ranger-letter-it-program/">Letter It</a> is a carefully curated collection of stamps, pens, embossing powders, pearl powders, mediums, tools and surfaces designed to work together so you can create beautifully personalized cards, tags, gifts, and more for all of life's occasions! Visit <a href="http://rangerink.com/new-%20ranger-letter-it-program/">http://rangerink.com/new- ranger-letter-it-program/</a> for more details and to view the complete collection. So what comes in the collection? Before I dive into this specific project let's take a peek at what is all included in the collection in this unboxing video!</div>

So as you can see this line is pretty impressive. Even though this line features mandy established product lines, the stamps are what in my opinion makes the <a href="http://rangerink.com/new-ranger-letter-it-program/">Letter It</a> special. I LOVE the handwritten feel and look of these stamps! Now onto one of the projects I created for this line, an anniversary card!<br />

Hey Everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a>!<br />
<br />
Sometimes I actually make a card without going <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">LIVE</a> on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/kenskreationspage">Facebook</a> or <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube</a>, which is kind of weird. However, some days I just need a retreat from the world, so I escape to my craft room and start crafting! When the new <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/kenskreations">Fun Stampers Journey </a>Catalog debuted I was drawn to two collections, in particular, one of those being <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/catalog/Project-Me,441.aspx">Project Me</a>. So as soon as I received this product I just knew I needed to make something of it. Here is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgILlCi-dmfZ-B4evbbQKZjAZM2xKNBCArDzQFb53t3TuhK5wdUme7DLV0JT5wuQj75Q-VKXznYvT5uaaQM6i_IXPJWhjO_YUVcDiEhyogk9YEVeY8SP3_JOzddCwhFwxU9PyIILhTVOOtv/s1600/PROJECT+ME.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgILlCi-dmfZ-B4evbbQKZjAZM2xKNBCArDzQFb53t3TuhK5wdUme7DLV0JT5wuQj75Q-VKXznYvT5uaaQM6i_IXPJWhjO_YUVcDiEhyogk9YEVeY8SP3_JOzddCwhFwxU9PyIILhTVOOtv/s640/PROJECT+ME.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

<br />
I just loved how this card turned out, so now, of course, I regret not hosting a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">LIVE </a>to document my process as the card had many moving parts. So since I did not document this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">LIVE</a> I wanted to share the card and the supplies I used to make it. I will highlight kind of what each supply was used for.<br />
<br />
The card used mostly products found at <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/kenskreations">Fun Stampers Journey</a>, which can all be found below. To color the girls on the <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Too-Cute-Stamp-Set,3089,441.aspx">Too Cute Stamp Set</a> I used <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kuretake-Clean-Watercolor-RB-6000AT-80V/dp/B01BLEISSY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1516043836&sr=8-1&keywords=zig+real+brush&tag=kenskre-20">Zig Real Brush Markers</a>. This card was so much fun to make and give away to my friend's teenage daughter who may or may not be addicted to Instagram. So for her, the card was perfect.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Many of you know that the reason I joined <a href="http://funstampersjourney.com/kenskreations">Fun Stampers Journey</a> was based on their inks! I feel in love with not only their <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/catalog/Ink-pads,333.aspx">True Color Fusion Ink</a> but also the amazing <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/catalog/Splashes,390.aspx">Color Splashes</a> and <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/catalog/Silks,389.aspx">Color Silks</a>. As individuals join my <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/pws/kenskreations/tabs/join-my-team.aspx">Fun Stampers Journey Team</a> I like to welcome them with a card. So in today's post, I wanted to share some of these cards and how I made them using <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/catalog/Splashes,390.aspx">Color Splashes</a> and <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/catalog/Silks,389.aspx">Color Silks</a>!</div>

<a name='more'></a>So for this card, I used a wide variety of some of my favorite products. And while I did not film a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">LIVE </a> video showing my process, I do have a video on the basic concept I will share with you later in the post. For this card, it is essential that you have some type of craft mat. I prefer and recommend the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=983137&m=55703&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fblitsy.com%2Fproduct%2F814256%2Fken-oliver-best-ever-craft-mat-extra-large%2F814256">Ken Oliver Best Ever Craft Mat (XL)</a> as this has been the best craft mat that I have personally used. If you follow me on <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube</a> you will have noticed the grey mat that bases all my projects, which is the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=983137&m=55703&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fblitsy.com%2Fproduct%2F814256%2Fken-oliver-best-ever-craft-mat-extra-large%2F814256">Ken Oliver Best Ever Craft Mat (XL)</a>. Why is this mat so important? Well, the technique I used on these cards will require some sort of mat.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best way to show the technique is to share a video that I did make <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">LIVE </a> with the same technique. The video shows the technique in the first few minutes of the video, so you do not have to go far into the video.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's take a peek at the video on how I made this card and the supplies I used. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; color: #7b7b7b; font-family: times; font-size: 15px; letter-spacing: 0.21px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: xx-small;"><b style="box-sizing: border-box;"><i style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman";">Remember this was a </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #f09a75; font-family: "times new roman"; letter-spacing: 0.02em; outline: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;">LIVE YouTube</a><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "times new roman";"> video. A couple of things to remember is that during the live feed I answered questions from viewers as I walked through the entire process. We try to state the question before answering it. This is a MUCH longer video than most of my other videos due to the LIVE nature and NO EDITING. </span></i></b></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Now that we have the background down, we can take a peek at the rest of the quick steps to finish this card. Using <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strathmore-Bristol-Smooth-Bound-Sheets/dp/B0027ACP0O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1507667241&sr=8-3&keywords=bristol+smooth&tag=kenskre-20">Bristol Paper</a>, run the <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Journey-Rectangles-Die-Set,1376.aspx">Journey Circle Die</a> through the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Fcuttlebug%2Fdie-cutting-and-embossing-machines%2Fcricut-cuttlebug-mint-machine.html">Cuttlebug</a>. I use the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fcuttlebug-6-x-8-magnetic-cutting-mat.html">Magnetic Cutting Mat</a> with the die and paper sandwiched between two <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Fcuttlebug%2Faccessories%2Fcuttlebug-reg-replacement-b-cutting-mats.html">B-Plates</a>. Once this has been cut we can turn out attention to the stamping on the card. I prefer to use the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tonic-Studios-Holtz-Stamp-Platform/dp/B073W19WGX/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515451625&sr=8-1&keywords=stamp+platform&tag=kenskre-20">Tim Holtz Stamp Platform</a> when using my stamps. For this card I used the <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/You-Are-ATS,1076,357.aspx">You Are ATS Stamp Set</a> from <a href="http://funstampersjourney.com/kenskreations">Fun Stampers Journey</a>. I inked the stamp up with some <a href="https://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Black-Licorice-True-Color-Fusion-Ink-Pad,1614.aspx">Black Licorice Ink</a> and splashed it randomly with some <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/catalog/Silks,389.aspx">Color Silks</a>. Let this dry. Finish the card with some <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Journey-Twine-Natural,821.aspx">Natural Twine</a> peeking out behind the sentiment. I wrap the twin up around my four fingers and hold it in place using washi tape. Use some <a href="https://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Journey-Foam-Squares-medium,980.aspx">Foam Squares</a> to assist holding the twine in place while popping out the sentiment from the card.<br />

<br />
In August of 2017, I was fortunate to attend the "Make Something You Love" event in Utah. At this event, <a href="http://shrsl.com/mq0a">Cricut</a> announced some new products coming to the DIY movement. The BIG announcement was the introduction of the NEW <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a>. However, in the shadows was another product that would challenge everything we ever knew about household <a href="http://amzn.to/2BxZZ0E">irons</a>, bulky <a href="http://amzn.to/2o6C0Ow">heat press</a> and pressure. You see in the shadows of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/nxdr">Cricut Maker</a> was a product that I knew would have the power to finally attract <a href="http://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/?aff_id=CpNFS1YydYJYHDkuFkE4RA&ad_id=43">Silhouette Fans</a> over to <a href="http://shrsl.com/mq0a">Cricut</a>. Say hello to the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a>. In today's post, we will help you answer some of the questions I know you are already thinking of. Find out the answers after the jump.....</div>

The <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> is one of the hottest tools to hit the DIY space, especially for crafters who have made <a href="http://shrsl.com/n9eh">Heat Transfer Vinyl (Sometimes Referred To As Iron-On)</a> a major part of their day to day operations. Below you will see my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube</a> unboxing, review and tips video. After watching the video, keep scrolling through this post for a more in-depth review. PLUS scroll to the bottom for a chance to WIN a <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a>!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, I already know the questions you are asking. How does this work without pressure? Is this an over-priced iron? Will this work with all of the materials I currently use? And of course, Can this perform as well as a heat press? You know why I know these are the questions. Because I was just as skeptical and questioned EVERYTHING as they announced the product at the event. I have now owned the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> for 6 months and had plenty of time to run it through tons of test. So, now let's dive right into the review and hopefully answer some of those questions!</div>

Before owning my <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a>, I was a happily married man to my <a href="http://amzn.to/2BAbcOv">Heat Press</a>. And at first glance, I would have never imagined that the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> would be the driving force in my <a href="http://amzn.to/2BAbcOv">Heat Press</a> divorce. So why did I leave my <a href="http://amzn.to/2BAbcOv">Heat Press</a>? Let's take a peek at everything:</div>

In the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> you will find the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a>, Safety Base, Quick Reference Chart, Welcome Booklet, Practice Materials and Warranty information. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> is what I consider a plug and play product and follow the simple instructions will have you making your first project in 60 seconds or less. With that said, you WILL NOT find a pressing mat inside the box. At the debut event Cricut also released a <a href="http://go.magik.ly/ml/9nfn/">Cricut EasyPress Mat</a>. However, after additional testing, this product never made it to market. With this said I highly recommend purchasing a <a href="http://amzn.to/2BAbcOv">Heat Press</a> mat to use with your <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a>. <a href="http://amzn.to/2szBAF5">Click Here</a> to purchase the one I am currently using at a cost that is affordable. </div>

For crafters with small workspaces, the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> is a dream come true. It comes in at only 5 pounds, compared to my <a href="http://amzn.to/2BAbcOv">Heat Press</a> which is 10X the weight at 51 pounds. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> can easily be tucked away in a cupboard, shelf, drawer or anywhere out of sight. Plus crafters can no make projects while on the road! Due to the compact size of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a>, users can easily take it to crops, events, shows, workshops, friends houses and pretty much anywhere you can imagine!</div>

The <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> was designed around simplicity that performs. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> might only weigh 5 pounds, but that is actually more than enough weight to iron on most materials in 60 seconds or less. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> delivers a consistent temperature across the 9X9 ceramic plate. Compared to a traditional home iron you can see the vast differences in temperature control. The whole design of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> is centered around ease of use:</div>

Set-up of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> cannot be simpler. Plug the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> into an electrical outlet with the 6-foot cord. Put the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> into the grey protective base and set your <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> temperature and time based on the recommended settings which can be found by <a href="http://help.cricut.com/easypress-recommended-settings">Clicking Here</a>. And wait for your <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">EasyPress</a> to heat up. Of course, you will not have to wait very long. True Story! I timed the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> vs my <a href="http://amzn.to/2BAbcOv">Heat Press</a>. And I was shocked at the results. My <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> heated up in 2 minutes and 43 seconds while the <a href="http://amzn.to/2BAbcOv">Heat Press</a> took over 10 minutes to reach the required settings. </div>

The <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> is ready to go into action. Using the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> is simple and contrary to popular belief does not take much pressure to get the job done. Follow these <a href="http://help.cricut.com/easypress">Simple Instructions</a> to make your first press. The big thing here is to make sure you start your timer by pressing the Little C button. I missed this with my first few projects. When applying pressure I found these tips helpful:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: center;">Firm pressure means to press down with two hands and 15-20 lbs of body weight</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Gentle pressure means one hand with 5-10 pounds of body weight</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">MAKE SURE your table you are using is waist high to help with applying pressure</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">You want a FIRM & FLAT surface for your foundation</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">GREAT EXAMPLES: craft table, kitchen table, wood table, butcher block, marble board</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">Make sure the mat you use is heat resistant, have good insulation properties & wick moisture</li>
<li style="text-align: center;">GOOD EXAMPLES: fluffy cotton bath towel with even textures, folded so it is 3" thick</li>

Of course, everything that has led up to this means nothing if our results do not last. Since owning the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> I washed my creations numerous times without fail. I have not kept track, however, one individual did. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/lorrienunemaker/">Lorrie Nunemaker</a> was just as skeptical of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> as I was. However, like me, she has conducted numerous tests. One I would like to draw your attention to was her results of using a <a href="http://shrsl.com/mzox">Cricut EasyPress</a> vs her <a href="http://amzn.to/2BAbcOv">Heat Press</a>.

Sometimes not ALL occasions are celebrations. I have found at times the hardest cards to make are the ones where we are at a loss for words. I often hear this with Sympathy cards, as many people struggle with making this cards. One of these occasions that I see often is the struggle for many women to conceive a child. How do you make a card for that? Well, recently I have discovered the amazing stamps over at <a href="http://amzn.to/2y8LxvB">Lawn Fawn</a> and they had the PERFECT set for this type of card. Let's take a look at how to make this card in today's post!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Creating this card was both emotional and personal. I have always dreamt of starting a family with my partner. We went to great lengths looking into surrogate, adoption and finally were accepted to be foster parents. During that time, we had the privilege of fostering many children. However, sadly none of these lead to adoption. In time, we found out how to raise our own family of golden retrievers, who technically we feel are our kiddos. However going through this experience opened my heart and empathy to the millions of women going through countless procedures in the hope of starting a family. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had two friends both currently going through the rigorous process of looking into alternative ways to start a family. I wanted to make a card to give them encouragement to never give up on their dream and to reach for the starts. The <a href="http://amzn.to/2iEWcXZ">Lawn Fawn Upon A Star Stamp Set</a> was the perfect stamp for the message I was trying to achieve. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So let's take a peek at the video on how I made this card and the supplies I used. </div>

Hey everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as many of you are, I am a huge fan of <a href="http://amzn.to/2yO8RgS">Tim Holtz</a>. When <a href="http://amzn.to/2yO8RgS">Tim Holtz</a> released the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xoiJKY">Crazy Series (dog, Bird, Cat, etc)</a> I fell in love. Well, this year he shared with us the <a href="http://amzn.to/2h8UeM1">Hipster Animal Set</a>, which at first I was not a fan of. However, this quickly changed when I saw the amazing things being created online. Today I am proud to show you my FIRST creation with these stamps.<br />
<br />

I was not able to make a video on how to create this card, however, I will go over the supplies and steps to create this card.<br />
<br />
1) I created an A2 size card and used <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=477359&m=46996&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thermowebonline.com%2Fp%2Fgina-k-designs-premium-cardstock-8-5-x-11%25E2%2580%25A2-black-onyx%2Fnew-products_gina-k-designs_premium-cardstock%3Fpp%3D24">Black Onyx</a> for the base.<br />
2) Using <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=477359&m=46996&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thermowebonline.com%2Fp%2Fgina-k-designs-premium-cardstock-8-5-x-11-%25E2%2580%25A2-white%2Fnew-products_gina-k-designs_premium-cardstock%3Fpp%3D24">White Cardstock</a> cut an offset to the black<br />
3) I use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strathmore-Bristol-Smooth-Bound-Sheets/dp/B0027ACP0O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1507667241&sr=8-3&keywords=bristol+smooth&tag=kenskre-20">Bristol Paper</a> anytime I use ink. It is a thicker cardstock and blends really nice.<br />
4) Using <a href="http://amzn.to/2yOoq8n">Tim Holtz Oxide Inks</a> create your background.<br />
5) Use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ranger-TDA47841-Holtz-Distress-Splatter/dp/B0163QOLAO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1508534354&sr=8-1&keywords=ranger+splatter&tag=kenskre-20">Ranger Splatter Tool</a> to flick <a href="https://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Sparkle-Silk,2406.aspx">Sparkle Silk</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ranger-Tim-Holtz-Distress-Stains/dp/B00QSLG7U2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1508534406&sr=8-4&keywords=ranger+white+picket+fence&tag=kenskre-20">Picket Fence Paint</a> on the background.<br />
Here is a tutorial on how to achieve this:<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JoakGygLVcs" width="480"></iframe><br />
<br />
6) While the background dries stamp your image onto <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strathmore-Bristol-Smooth-Bound-Sheets/dp/B0027ACP0O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1507667241&sr=8-3&keywords=bristol+smooth&tag=kenskre-20">Bristol Paper</a> using the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Tonic-Studios-Holtz-Stamp-Platform/dp/B073W19WGX/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1508533309&sr=8-1&keywords=tim+holtz+stamp+platform&tag=kenskre-20">Tim Holtz Stamp Platform</a><br />
7) Color the image using <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Kuretake-Clean-Watercolor-RB-6000AT-80V/dp/B01BLEISSY/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1508534263&sr=8-6&keywords=real+brush&tag=kenskre-20">Real Brush Marker</a> and cut out on the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Brother-CM350-ScanNCut-Cutting-Machine/dp/B014T1CI1E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505851928&sr=8-2&keywords=brother+scan+n+cut&tag=kenskre-20">Brother ScanNCut2</a><br />
8) Run <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Strathmore-Bristol-Smooth-Bound-Sheets/dp/B0027ACP0O/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1507667241&sr=8-3&keywords=bristol+smooth&tag=kenskre-20">Bristol Paper</a> with the <a href="https://www.lilinkerdesigns.com/speech-bubbles-die-set/#_a_khess">Speech Bubble Die</a> through your <a href="http://shrsl.com/ioa1">Cuttlebug</a><br />
9) Use the same process above that you used on background on this cutout<br />
10) Stamp your <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Paper-Smooches-Stamps-6-Inch-Birthday/dp/B00IMMQ214/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1508534760&sr=8-2&keywords=paper+smooch+birthday&tag=kenskre-20">Sentiment</a> out onto this and place <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Journey-Twine-Black-Licorice,820.aspx">Black Twine</a> behind this<br />
11) Use <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=477359&m=46996&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thermowebonline.com%2Fp%2F3d-white-foam-squares-%25E2%2580%25A2-combo-pack%3Fpp%3D24">Foam Squares</a> to raise up the sentiment and to hold your <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Journey-Twine-Black-Licorice,820.aspx">Black Twine</a> in place<br />

Hey everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, many of you know that I went to the 2017 Creativation. Here I was introduced to the company Nuvo by tonic studios. One of the products I instantly fell in love with was the <a href="http://amzn.to/2fVm2pE">Nuvo Mousse</a>. So naturally, I wanted to use this amazing product in a project and show how to use it during one of my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">LIVE YouTube Videos</a>. So let's take a look at the card, the supplies I needed to make the card and of course the video showing you how to put it all together! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now <a href="http://amzn.to/2fVm2pE">Nuvo Mousse</a> can be used many different ways. This stuff is awesome and a simple search on <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/kens_kreations/">Pinterest</a> or <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube</a> will give you a ton of different ideas on how to use this product. However, for me, I wanted to show how to make a translucent look to my card. For this, I used stencils combined with embossing powder and the <a href="http://amzn.to/2fVm2pE">Nuvo Mousse</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

A couple of things to remember is that during the live feed I answered questions from viewers as I walked through the entire process. We try to state the question before answering it.

I am in love with <a href="http://amzn.to/2fVm2pE">Nuvo Mousse</a> and all the different ways you can use this product. Sometimes we plan a card and it turns out different than our expectations, however, this was exactly what I envisioned. Now in the video, I did change up the colors a bit, and sadly do not have photos for that color combination. The supplies for both cards can be found below:<br />

At this event, CEO, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ashish.arora.5855">Ashish Arora</a> announced new products that <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus">Cricut</a> had been working on over the past three years. The big products they announced were the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fessentials%2Fbrightpad%2Ehtml">BrightPad</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/jkq5">Easy Press</a> and the revolutionary <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker Machine</a>. In today's blog post we are going to focus on the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker Machine</a>. What is this machine?

Now for those of you who follow my blog, I am a HUGE fan of paper crafting cutting machines. I have reviewed and used all types of machines from the <a href="https://www.silhouetteamerica.com/shop/machines/cameo?aff_id=CpNFS1YydYJYHDkuFkE4RA&ad_id=43">Silhouette Cameo 3</a>, <a href="http://amzn.to/2wQVY4O">Brother ScanNCut</a> to of course my favorite the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fmachines%2Fcricut%2Dexplore%2Dair%2D2%2Ehtml">Cricut Explore Air 2</a>. I am aware that most people can only afford one cutting machine for their home, so I try to deliver <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfa0jG_SgDO8q88TN1aJPukmy9TXw3jrd">YouTube Reviews</a>. Here you can find the popular video comparing all <a href="https://youtu.be/Ch23OY8z5Fo">Three Of These Machines</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I filmed these videos, the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker Machine</a> had not been released yet. So where does it fit into the review series? What makes this machine different? What materials can it cut, and should you upgrade your current machine? These were all the questions I was asking myself. So upon getting my <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker Machine</a>, I set out to help you answer all these questions. Take a peek at this <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker Machine</a> YouTube review. PLUS, make sure to continue reading the post after the video for a closer look at this revolutionary machine and how it can change your life!</div>

Now that you have watched the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> video, I am sure you have more questions. I wanted to break down everything this machine can offer at a closer look!<br />
<br />
<u><b>WHAT IS THE CRICUT MAKER</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
The <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> is NOT just another upgraded <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fmachines%2Fcricut%2Dexplore%2Dair%2D2%2Ehtml">Cricut Explore Air Machine</a>. What makes this machine different from not only the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fmachines%2Fcricut%2Dexplore%2Dair%2D2%2Ehtml">Cricut Explore Air</a> but all other machines on the market? To answer this, let's first take a look at this promo video from <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus">Cricut</a>.<br />

<u><b>WHAT CAN THE MAKER CUT</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
What makes this machine different from other machines on the market? What tools come in the box? What tools are being developed for the future? Before we can answer these questions, let's highlight some key points about this machine! We also take a look at why the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> is NOT just for fabric users!<br />
<br />

<br />
<u><b>ROTARY BLADE</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
The <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> comes with both the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju4z">Fine Tip Blade</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju50">Rotary Blade</a>, <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju56">Fabric Mat</a> and <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fessentials%2Faccessories%2Fmats%2Fcricut%2Dreg%2D12x12%2Dlightgrip%2Dadhesive%2Dcutting%2Dmat%2Ehtml">Light Cutting Mat</a> allowing the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> to cut a wide range of materials. With the Fabric Mat, the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> cuts fabric without backing material. This is possible because of the new <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju50">Rotary Blade</a>. In the <a href="https://youtu.be/VaeaoIlkXy0">Video</a> you see the results of all the fabric that the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju50">Rotary Blade</a> and <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> was able to cut. A wide variety of materials including, fabric, felt, lace, netting, fleece, denim and so much more. I was shocked that not only was the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> able to cut these materials with such precision, but it was able to cut them WITHOUT backing! It is able to accomplish this since the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju50">Rotary Blade</a> rolls on top of the material gliding and cutting into the material. Whereas a traditional blade would cut into the material and drag through it, resulting in tears.<br />
<br />

<br />
Now, this <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju50">Rotary Blade</a> was not just designed for fabric lovers, it comes in handy for us paper crafters as well. I have never been able to cut <a href="http://amzn.to/2fat46v">Cork Paper</a>, <a href="http://amzn.to/2xmxwJO">Crepe Paper</a>, or <a href="http://amzn.to/2xlxTnU">Tissue Paper</a> with such accuracy and precision with ANY machine. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Announced at the Cricut Make-A-Thon, the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fknife-blade-kit.html">Knife Blade</a> will give the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> the ability to cut materials up to 2.4mm thick. This is HUGE for me, as I have tried to push my cutting machines to the limit as seen in <a href="https://youtu.be/9w967GD8bBM">This Comparison Video</a>. The <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fknife-blade-kit.html">Knife Blade</a> cuts through dense materials easily. Think of this as an automated X-ACTO<span style="background-color: white; color: #676767; font-family: lato, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">® </span>knife that can slice through heavier materials up to 2.4mm thick. With this <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fknife-blade-kit.html">Knife Blade</a>, you can now cut through materials like Balsa wood, mat board, heavy leather, and even that tough shrinky dink/acrylic material! The knife blade is expected to be released in 4th quarter of 2017. As soon as I get my hands on this HIGHLY ANTICIPATED TOOL, I will update you with my results in a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube Video</a>.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know many people are thinking that they can achieve these same results with their <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju4x">Cricut Explore Machine</a>. In fact, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus">Cricut</a> offers both a <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fsale%2Fnew%2Fbonded%2Dfabric%2Dblade%2Dhousing%2Ehtml">Bonded Fabric Blade</a> and <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fcricut%2Dexplore%2Dreg%2Ddeep%2Dcut%2Dblade%2Dwith%2Dhousing%2Ehtml">Deep Cut Blade</a> to work with their <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju4x">Explore Machines</a>. However, these tools are very different. Why? Well, the tip is stationary and cuts into the material once and then drags through it. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> uses the new Adaptive Tool System. This revolutionary system intelligently controls the DIRECTION of the blade and CUT pressure to match the material you have chosen in <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a>. The precise control is possible because of the gears at the top of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju50">Rotary Blade</a> and <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fknife-blade-kit.html">Knife Blade</a>. This matches and aligns with the gears built into the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> machine giving the machine the ability to change the direction of the tool. </div>

If the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> had organs, the heart of the machine would be the Adaptive Tool System. Not only does the system control the direction of the blade, but it has the ability to apply 4,000g or 4kg of force. That is 10X more cutting power than the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju4x">Explore Machines</a>. This allows <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus">Cricut</a> to develop more tools for the Adaptive Tool System, eliminating the need to constantly upgrade your cutting machine to get the latest technology! </div>

No more than 5 minutes after the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> debut, people were asking (and worried) about the disappearance of the <a href="https://youtu.be/WhugZonAzQk">Cricut Smart Dial</a>. I also was curious why <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus">Cricut</a> opted not to have this feature, as it was one of the BIGGEST features of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju4x">Explore Machines</a>. Cricut fans have come accustom to taking the guess work out of cutting, by allowing the smart dial to control the machines speed and pressure. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now keep in mind that the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a>, the Adaptive Tool System and the 4kg of force the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a>, has the ability cut 100's of materials. Due to a number of material options, the <a href="https://youtu.be/WhugZonAzQk">Cricut Smart Dial</a> could not accommodate them all. Thus, the <a href="https://youtu.be/WhugZonAzQk">Cricut Smart Dial</a> went digital. Now when the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> machine is selected as your connected machine, <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a> will populate your Digital Smart Dial. Instead of rotating the physical smart dial, you will now see 100's of pre-populated materials in <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a>. Now when you set the material you are working with in <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a>, the software automatically tells the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> wheather multiple passes are needed to make the cut, and it determines the pressure as needed with each pass. </div>

Another item fans noticed immediately, was the lack of a cartridge port on the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a>. Now keep in mind NO <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju4x">Explore Machines</a> ever had the capability to DIRECTLY use physical cartridges. However, all previous machines offered a "hidden" cartridge port to allow you to LINK your cartridges to <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a>. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> does not allow this, however, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus">Cricut</a> has thought of a new system to LINK cartridges to <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a>. This is in the form of the NEW <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fsale%2Fnew%2Fcartridge%2Dadapter%2Ehtml">Cartridge Adapter</a> that will be a separate unit that plugs directly into your computer allowing you to LINK physical cartridges to <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a> without going through a machine. Take a peek at this tool <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fsale%2Fnew%2Fcartridge%2Dadapter%2Ehtml">By Clicking HERE</a>.</div>

<u><b>WHAT UPGRADES WERE MADE TO PRINT THEN CUT</b></u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><b><br /></b></u></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One of my favorite features of the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju4x">Explore Machines</a> is the ability to get precise <a href="https://youtu.be/VkFGWiHnGfo">Print-Then-Cut Images</a> with no white borders. How did <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus">Cricut</a> update this with the <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a>? Well, each <a href="http://shrsl.com/jigi">Cricut Maker</a> has a higher quality upgraded optical sensor. This paired with the update made in <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a>, now gives us the ability to <a href="https://youtu.be/VkFGWiHnGfo">Print-Then-Cut</a> not only on color cardstock but PATTERN cardstock. How? <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a> now prepares your <a href="https://youtu.be/VkFGWiHnGfo">Print-Then-Cut Images</a> with a thicker solid black box around the images. The upgraded optical sensor will scan the box multiple times in different locations on the sensor marks. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
With this update in <a href="https://design.cricut.com/#/landing">Cricut Design Space</a>, we were able to successfully cut the solid color cardstock including, <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju7c">White, Pink, Orange, Hunter Green and EVEN Black Cardstock</a>. Now a little disclosure, to get the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ju7c">Black Cardstock</a> to Print-Then-Cut we did have to change the printer settings from color print to black and white print. This allowed our <a href="http://amzn.to/2xlPhJB">Canon Pixma Printer</a> to print a darker box around the images, thus allowing the upgraded optical sensor to pick up the location of the items and leading to a successful Print-Then-Cut. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once we tested the color cardstock, we moved onto pattern paper cardstock. You can see both results below! </div>

Hey, everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a> and I am so excited to share today's project with all of you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes inspiration comes from just about anywhere. When planning my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfa0jG_SgDO-0eGjMNoqLjab0ki71LgUl" style="font-family: times;">LIVE Make-It-Monday</a> project, I knew I wanted to feature some Halloween items, but not sure what I wanted to do. That was until I was looking at <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/kens_kreations/">Pinterest</a> and came across an old school grocery shopping bag featuring Halloween images. And just like that, I knew EXACTLY what I wanted to create. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The inspiration for this card came from <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/kens_kreations/">Pinterest</a> while I was searching for Halloween decor. I saw an old style grocery shopping bag that featured a Halloween scene. These vintage shopping bags always featured one color and black and used the brown color grocery bag as the fill in for all other items. It instantly reminds me of my childhood as these were the bags we used to do our trick-or-treating. Here is the inspiration for my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfa0jG_SgDO-0eGjMNoqLjab0ki71LgUl" style="font-family: times;">LIVE Make-It-Monday</a>.</div>

After this inspiration, I just needed to plan out my project and figure out how much I wanted it to match this photos. Below I will share the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfa0jG_SgDO-0eGjMNoqLjab0ki71LgUl" style="font-family: times;">LIVE Make-It-Monday</a>. After the video, I will also give you some additional photos and product I used. The entire list of supplies used for this card will be featured on my shopping list at the bottom of this post. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: times; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b><i><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman";">Remember this was a </span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr" style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman";">LIVE YouTube</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman";"> video. A couple of things to remember is that during the live feed I answered questions from viewers as I walked through the entire process. We try to state the question before answering it. This is a MUCH longer video than most of my other videos due to the LIVE nature and NO EDITING. </span></i></b></span></div>

<br />
I am so proud of how this turned out. Sometimes we have a vision of what a project will turn out, and then reality happens and the project is a 180 of what you had imagined. In this case, I feel the card turned out exactly how I imagined it. Of course, this was in part due to the amazing product I used.<br />
<br />
If you did not watch the video, you might have missed some of the amazing products I used. I wanted to highlight a few of them here. For the stamp, I used the <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/kenskreations">Fun Stampers Journey</a> <a href="https://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Creepy-Kids-Stamp-Set,3205,330.aspx">Creepy Kids Stamp Set</a>, which was perfect for this project. The idea of the card was to feature Trick-Or-Treaters walking to their next destination. To mimic the asphalt road, I opted to use <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=199868&m=24698&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.simonsaysstamp.com%2Fproduct.aspx%3Fid%3D380307">Black Soot Oxide Ink</a>.<br />
Because of the nature of the style, I knew I wanted to use the new <a href="http://amzn.to/2gn9ya2">Ranger Dylusions Paint Pens</a>. However, I knew by using these pens, they might cover up my black ink on the stamp. Due to this, I used <a href="https://www.brutusmonroe.com/products/copy-of-ultra-fine-embossing-powder-raven?aff=27">Brutus Monroe Raven Ultra Fine Embossing Powder</a>. And many of you will note that for the sentiment I used my FAVORITE die sets from <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=477359&m=46996&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Ethermowebonline%2Ecom%2Fc%2Fnew%2Dproducts%5Fgina%2Dk%2Ddesigns%5Fwafer%2Dthin%2Ddies">Gina K Designs & Therm-O-Web</a>. Gina K's <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=477359&m=46996&afftrack=&urllink=www%2Ethermowebonline%2Ecom%2Fc%2Fnew%2Dproducts%5Fgina%2Dk%2Ddesigns%5Fwafer%2Dthin%2Ddies">Die Sets</a> feature a set of either single stitch or double stitch, and when you layer these dies you get a perfect 1/16th offset. These are my GO TO dies for sentiments.<br />
<br />

About a year ago I bought and reviewed the <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2016/07/polaroid-zip-overview-and-tips.html">Polaroid Zip</a>. At the time I bought this Bluetooth enabled printer since it was a special on <a href="http://amzn.to/2xgVvaa">Prime Day On Amazon</a>. At first, I really enjoyed the printer and how fun it was at parties. However, this quickly fades when the Bluetooth continues to have problems connecting and the app became more complicated. So now my once fun <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2016/07/polaroid-zip-overview-and-tips.html">Polaroid Zip</a> now sits in the bottom of my junk drawer. Fast forward to today, where I am reviewing the <a href="http://amzn.to/2w2AzFh">Prynt Pocket</a>. What makes this printer different? Why would I recommend this over the <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2016/07/polaroid-zip-overview-and-tips.html">Polaroid Zip</a>? Well in today's post we will discuss the answers to these questions and more!</div>

When I was a kid, I never dreamt that I would be able to print photos in person without a photo kiosk. The one exception to this was for my friends who had expensive instant cameras. However, today most people are equipped with a camera in their pocket. Gone are the days of carrying around expensive SLR cameras, filters, lenses and a degree in photography! However, like most of you, I have a collection of photos on my camera, and limited ability to print these photos. God forbid something to happen to my iPhone without backing these photos up.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Due to this, we are noticing a rapid release rate of <a href="http://amzn.to/2wsEQmB">Pocket Photo Printers</a>. Not all of these <a href="http://amzn.to/2wsEQmB">Pocket Photo Printers</a> are created equal, and many of them rely on certain technologies for them to work, like Bluetooth. Today, we will take a closer look at the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a>. In the video below we will take a closer look at the printer, show you how easy the set-up is, and of course take a few photos. Make sure to read on after the video review to get our in-depth look at the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a>.</div>

<b><u>FIRST IMPRESSIONS</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u><br /></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> spoke to me right away based on the fact that the printer did not connect to your phone via a Bluetooth. The <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> actually clips into your phone via the lighting port. Once plugged into the iPhone, the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> is powered by the smart FREE application. Print photos directly from the device using <a href="http://amzn.to/2vuaMSK">Zink Paper</a>, which is inkless.<br />

<br />
The application gives the user the ability to edit photos, add filters, insert text and even bring your photos to life with a video feature! And of course, you will be able to share your masterpiece on social media! </div>

Currently, the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> is only compatible with iPhones, however, the company is currently working on developing an android app.<br />
<br />
<b><u>THE DESIGN</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
The <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> was obviously designed for function, not beauty. The camera was designed to fit nicely in your hand, hence the curved grip to the unit. The entire <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> has a textured finished giving the user something easy to grip onto. Now, the <a href="http://amzn.to/2vuaMSK">Zink Paper</a> cartridge slides into the top portion of the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> essentially turning the printer into a modern Polaroid. The clamp style mounting mechanism is clunky but very functional. This style allows for multiple sizes of phones to be easily mounted into the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a>. Also depending on your phone size, we also liked the fact that we did not have to remove our case each time to connect our phone. However, our FAVORITE feature is not having to connect via the Bluetooth each time we wanted to print a photo.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRyJYV10uQKPvUoyIYsTfpBVbcwNBjYGXPND1hXsQ8mz7I9jXLnplgMjFuKTqOb4da4dB73zopsBIJsYAOmE2BL_ZkzRERR4orGSnARJEDJ_IkkJzGB_v6r4oGYO4V_Ct9q_fjPCDLVlRd/s1600/Colors.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRyJYV10uQKPvUoyIYsTfpBVbcwNBjYGXPND1hXsQ8mz7I9jXLnplgMjFuKTqOb4da4dB73zopsBIJsYAOmE2BL_ZkzRERR4orGSnARJEDJ_IkkJzGB_v6r4oGYO4V_Ct9q_fjPCDLVlRd/s640/Colors.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Even though the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> is not fashion forward, the company realizes that some people want some style. Currently, the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> comes in 4 colors on <a href="http://amzn.to/2xgVvaa">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://amzn.to/2wrS8zE">Graphite</a>, <a href="http://amzn.to/2vubUWt">Cool Grey</a>, <a href="http://amzn.to/2ivuLzl">Lavender</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/2wsXXg6">Mint Green</a>.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>USAGE & PRINTING</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
The <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> is pretty straight forward. Connect your phone, customize your photo and print. You can even add a video, which we will chat about later in the post.<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>

<b><u><br /></u></b>
Like many pocket printers, the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> utilizes <a href="http://amzn.to/2vuaMSK">Zink Paper</a>. Essentially <a href="http://amzn.to/2vuaMSK">Zink Paper</a> stands for zero ink. In a nut shell, these paper does not utilize ink, toner or other material. However, <a href="http://amzn.to/2vuaMSK">Zink Paper</a> relies on a chemical reaction to print your photos. They dry instantly and can be handled by the user. Now, with most <a href="http://amzn.to/2w96LFx">Zink Printers</a> the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> produces 2X3 size photos that feature a sticker back. As I said in the <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2016/07/polaroid-zip-overview-and-tips.html">Polaroid Zip</a> review, my biggest criticism of <a href="http://amzn.to/2vuaMSK">Zink Paper</a> is the cost, as each photo costs around .50.<br />
<br />
Let's also discuss the fact that the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> produces photos that do not look over-exposed. I always felt the <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2016/07/polaroid-zip-overview-and-tips.html">Polaroid Zip</a> photos were over-saturated. It almost appeared that each photo had the "Vibrant" filter turned on. It never matched what I was editing on my phone. The <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> produces much more accurate colors and tones.<br />
<br />
<u><b>ADD A VIDEO</b></u><br />
<u><b><br /></b></u>
I will admit I had no idea about this last feature, or why I would want it. However, now that I have actually experienced it I have to say I pretty much am addicted to it. So how does it work? When you select a photo for printing, you have the option to add a video. In my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube</a> review video, I selected a photo of my dog and tied it to the dog licking the water from the hose. Now, once you print the photo, you might wonder how the video comes to life.<br />
<br />
Essentially while you are in the <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prynt-instant-photo-prints/id1029901068?mt=8">Prynt App</a>, all you will have to do is to point the camera at your printed photo, and then the magic appears! Instead of your photo, you will see a movie in its place. From the phone display, it looks as if you printed a video, which is pretty cool! Here look for yourself:<br />
<br />
<img class="responsive-img" src="https://d39ya6rrfzruz.cloudfront.net/production/assets/home/Scan-d78080a3c2634150bc4d12d96742a286.gif" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: BrandonTextWeb-Regular, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; height: auto; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; min-width: 100%; outline: 0px; padding: 0px;" /><br />
<br />
<b><u>FINAL VERDICT</u></b><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
For me, this product is a win just for the fact that I do not have to rely on Bluetooth technology to print my photos. Out of all the <a href="http://amzn.to/2wsEQmB">Pocket Photo Printers</a> that I have reviewed the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> is easy to use and fun to interact with. Now, keep in mind this is being promoted as a case for your iPhone, which I highly disagree. This is not something that I would see myself walking around with attached to my phone, however, I do see myself having it available to share fun photos with my friends!<br />
<br />
It is not also for everyone, as many people will want bigger, more professional photos than the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> can produce. Still, I feel the company set out to make a fun printer that would be easy to use and fun to share! With that, <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> scored a HOMERUN!<br />
<br />
During today's review, I compared the <a href="http://amzn.to/2xhgvxu">Prynt Pocket</a> to the <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2016/07/polaroid-zip-overview-and-tips.html">Polaroid Zip</a> on more than one occasion.

One of the most amazing abilities of this machine is the fact it can cut thicker material. In October we will see the release of the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fknife-blade-kit.html">Knife Blade</a>, which will give the machine the ability to cut thicker materials.

Well, as many of you are aware, I was invited to the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialCricut/posts/10154533465801434">Cricut Make-A-Thon</a> that took place July 31st, 2017 - August 2n, 2017. As the days leading up to the event, I could hardly contain my anticipation on what could possibly warrant an event at this scale. Well, let's just say none of us were disappointed! So in today's post, I want to cover all of the BIG announcements, new products, and other amazing information!</div>

So there you have it! Cricut has been working on three new amazing products that I personally think will take the arts/crafts/hobbies spectrum by storm! These three items are the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fbrightpad.html">BrightPad</a>, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a> and the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fmachines%2Fcricut-maker%2Fcricut-maker-machine.html">Cricut Maker</a>.

<br />
To be honest the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fbrightpad.html">BrightPad</a> had already been released prior to this event and has been a MASSIVE hit. In fact, I have two separate blog post and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube Videos</a> where I go into great detail on this amazing device! For my first impressions of the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fbrightpad.html">BrightPad</a> make sure to check out my <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2017/07/cricut-brightpad-firstlook-review.html">BrightPad First Look</a> blog post.

I will be honest, the majority of people attending the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OfficialCricut/posts/10154533465801434">Cricut Make-A-Thon</a> were anticipating a <a href="http://cricut%20maker/">New Machine</a>. However, we were not expecting a new way to use our <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=567915&m=51766&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop%2Ecricut%2Ecom%2Fen%5Fus%2Fcutting%2Dmaterials%2Firon%2Don%2Dvinyl%2Ehtml">Heat Transfer Vinyl</a>. Say hello to the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a>.<br />
<br />
I was amazed at the reaction the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a> received as soon as it was announced. Everyone was really excited to get their hands onto the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a> so they could see if this item truly worked. Take a peek at this video to see how people used the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a>.<br />

<br />
<br />
Now, I already know many of you are wanting a comparison video on how the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a> stacks up against a traditional iron and a <a href="http://amzn.to/2fw82Cb">Heat Press</a>. So of course as soon as I get my hands on the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a>, I will be delivering both of these videos. Now, for me, the intriguing part of the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a> was the heat distribution. Take a look at this photo to see the difference between a traditional iron and the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a>.<br />

<br />
For me, this was a HUGE talking point as you can see the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a> delivers a consistent temperature across the 9X9 plate. I will say, I was skeptical at first due to my pre-conceived of using pressure with a <a href="http://amzn.to/2fw82Cb">Heat Press</a>. With the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a>, the pressure comes from the user versus the machine itself. In the video above you saw me and other bloggers using the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=567915&m=51766&u=963730&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.cricut.com%2Fen_us%2Fessentials%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Feasypress-heatpress%2Fcricut-easypress-sky.html">Easy Press</a> making totes.

Recently I posted a HUGE <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/kenskreations">Fun Stampers Journey</a> on my <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr">YouTube Channel</a>. If you wanted to see this video you can <a href="https://youtu.be/e64i2N6wgOQ">CLICK HERE</a> to watch this video. Part of this haul, you will see the collection called <a href="https://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/catalog/Mystic-Romance,442.aspx">Mystic Romance</a>, which features stamps that are inspired by embroidery stitching. I instantly fell in love with the collection, but one stamp set caught my eye. The <a href="https://www.funstampersjourney.com/PWS/kenskreations/store/AM/product/Koi-Dreams-ATS,2903.aspx">Koi Dreams Stamp Set</a> just spoke to me. So naturally, I wanted to feature it on one of my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfa0jG_SgDO-0eGjMNoqLjab0ki71LgUl">LIVE Make-It-Monday</a> videos!</div>

Every time I host a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfa0jG_SgDO-0eGjMNoqLjab0ki71LgUl">Make-It-Monday</a> project, I plan the project ahead of time and do a mocked up version of the card, and the other card is the one created LIVE during the broadcast. You can see the slight differences in the cards below. The one I created during the broadcast I wanted to focus on more of a traditional red/gold color you see in Asian culture. During the LIVE broadcast, I decided to use a blue/silver combo. I held a poll to which was the better one and it was surprising to me that most people were split.<br />
<br /></div>

Here is the BLUE/SILVER card we created during the LIVE video:<br />

Here is the RED/GOLD "mock" card created before doing the LIVE video:<br />

<br />
For this project, I mostly used <a href="http://www.funstampersjourney.com/kenskreations" style="font-family: times;">Fun Stampers Journey</a> product. However, during the video, you will see me use the NEW <a href="http://amzn.to/2uDkT7s">Tim Holtz Stamping Platform</a>. This is a pretty amazing tool and I hope to compare this with the <a href="http://amzn.to/2fqpfx2">MISTI</a> in the near future!<br />
<br />
The shopping list LOOKS HUGE, however, I have listed ALL the supplies that I used for both cards so you had everything to make this card. Also, if you want inspiration on the die cutting technique I used, make sure to check out this AMAZING video from my friend Jennifer McGuire.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
A huge trend currently in the card making craft community is shaker cards. I LOVE any card that encourages the recipient to be interactive with it. Shaker cards are at the top of the list, as they not only encourage people to use them but usually generate a HUGE smile! However, sometimes make shaker cards can be a huge task. Now you will find many tutorials on how to build your own shaker cards, but I have found a way to make shaker cards in less than 5 minutes. How? Well, let's chat about that! </div>

Recently scrolling through Facebook, I found a company called <a href="https://queenandcompany.com/">Queen & Co</a> which has some amazing products! But the items that caught my eye were their <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=33086&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Escrapbook%2Ecom%2Fstore%2Fproducts%2F%3Fw%3Dqueen%2B%2526%2Bco%2Bshaker">Shaker Card Kits</a>! Now they offer a few different kits that caught my eye. The first one was the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=33086&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Escrapbook%2Ecom%2Fstore%2Fproducts%2F%3Fw%3Dqueen%2B%2526%2Bco%2Bshaker%2Bshape%2Bkit">Shaker Shape Kit</a> which comes with metal dies, foam risers, acetate sheet and enough product to make about 2-6 cards. These kits also feature a refill item called <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=33086&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Escrapbook%2Ecom%2Fstore%2Fproducts%2F%3Fw%3Dqueen%2B%2526%2Bco%2Bshaker%2Bshape%2Bkit%2Bfoam%2Bkit">Shaker Card Kits Foam Kit</a>. The other item <a href="https://queenandcompany.com/">Queen & Co</a> offers is the <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?u=963730&b=33086&m=7429&afftrack=&urllink=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Escrapbook%2Ecom%2Fstore%2Fproducts%2F%3Fw%3Dqueen%2B%2526%2Bco%2Bfoam%2Bfronts">Foam Fronts Shaker Card Kit</a>. so what is the difference and how do you use them?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
To show off how all the products differ and how to use them, I decided to host a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/hesskr" style="background-color: white; font-family: "times new roman";">LIVE</a> video on YouTube! This was part of my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfa0jG_SgDO-0eGjMNoqLjab0ki71LgUl">Make-It-Monday LIVE Series</a>.<br />

CUTTERPILLAR GLOW <div style="text-align: center;">
Hey, Everyone! Ken here with <a href="http://www.kreativeken.com/">Ken's Kreations</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, many of you are aware by now that Cricut has released a LED Light Board called the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a>. As soon as this item was released, people were reaching out to me to compare this new <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> to the recently released <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2017/06/cutterpillar-pro-and-glow-first-look.html">Cutterpillar Glow</a>. I have been able to use both of these, so I felt it was a good time to do a LIVE video showing the big differences!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjchLwhyphenhyphenOC94IVseljOemih_vwCXqJTJiYEPiK9vrjlFbMb75UFVdDhTrDFvXnamhzRBJ_adHW6PAruHNbahqrnMaX2AtIAj2OsQ6LXOBl3K6orxTjED4su6BvmdwPQmjca_TrCHQnFzMPn/s1600/VS+copy.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjchLwhyphenhyphenOC94IVseljOemih_vwCXqJTJiYEPiK9vrjlFbMb75UFVdDhTrDFvXnamhzRBJ_adHW6PAruHNbahqrnMaX2AtIAj2OsQ6LXOBl3K6orxTjED4su6BvmdwPQmjca_TrCHQnFzMPn/s640/VS+copy.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a name='more'></a>Now before we dive into the comparison I wanted to point out a few things that are important to note! In the video, I am comparing the Cricut <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> and the <a href="http://kreativeken.blogspot.com/2017/06/cutterpillar-pro-and-glow-first-look.html">Cutterpillar Glow</a> Premium. Cutterpillar released a <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow.html">Cutterpillar Glow Basic</a> and a <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html">Cutterpillar Glow Premium</a>. The biggest difference in these two glow boards is the battery. The <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html">Cutterpillar Glow Premium</a> comes with a 5-hour rechargeable battery to truly make the <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html">Cutterpillar Glow Premium</a> cord free.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, it is important to note that the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> has 5 levels of brightness versus the <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html">Cutterpillar Glow Premium</a> which has 3 levels of brightness! Now, let's first take a peek at this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/hesskr">LIVE</a> video. Keep in mind this video was recorded <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/hesskr">LIVE</a>. Which means NO EDITING, NO INTRO, NO MUSIC. However, it also gave us the opportunity to interact LIVE with our viewers and put the two light pads to specific requests from the audience. Also, please keep in mind our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/hesskr">LIVE</a> are generally longer in length. Feel free to watch in double speed or skip around. After the video, we will take a closer look at each of these amazing light pads and go into more details. Also, I would like you to know going in, I do not prefer any brand over the other in this review. In fact, you will see the pros and cons listed after the video!</div>

<br />
So, what did you think? I realize we covered a bunch of information in this video so let's chat about a lot of what you just saw. First, let's take a peeks at what each light board offers, price points, size, etc!<br />

Now that we know what each of these light boards claims to do we can take a look at the tests. Each of these tests was taken in a dark room at their highest settings. In the video, you can take a peek at each board at even settings (level 3 for each light board). Also from just touching the light boards, it feels to myself and Sean that the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> has a tougher exterior than the Cutterpillar Glow. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> feels like glass, whereas the <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar Glow </a> feels softer. Without having the hardness levels from <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar</a>, it is tought to say.</div>

Clearly, you can see the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> is brighter. However, I wanted to point out that the light source is very different on both of these machines. The <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar Glow</a> has a blue hue to the light source, whereas the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> is a brilliant white. Because of this, the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> shines through most of the materials tested with flying colors. Now, I will say for people with sensitive eyes, the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> could be a little much. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is also important to note that the <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar Glow</a> does come with a self-healing mat (seen in the photo above) and plans on releasing other tools for their <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar Glow</a> including a <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-glass-add-on.html">Glass Mat</a> and in the near future, a see through scoreboard and power bank. Plus it is important to note that Cutterpillar has stated that the <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar Glow</a> should not be cut on without the included mat. </div>

I have reached out to Cricut to ask if they will also be releasing additions to their <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a>. They did confirm more tools were coming, but would not disclose what. However, with some research, I was able to find two 3rd party items that you could use with your <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a>. I was able to find two different self-healing mats that I do believe will work perfectly with the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a>. Take a peek at both of these options <a href="http://amzn.to/2uo4dFd">HERE</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/2sVrtWN">HERE</a>. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that Cricut states you are NOT to directly cut on their <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> with or without a mat. </div>

Now when it comes to power, each of these is a little different. The <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar Glow Basic</a> is powered by having the light pad directly plugged into a power source, whereas the <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar Glow Premium</a> does have a rechargeable battery installed. This truly does make the <a href="https://simpleproducts.com/cutterpillar/cutterpillar-glow-premium.html" style="text-align: start;">Cutterpillar Glow Premium</a> cord free for up to five hours. The <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> will need to be plugged in with the included 6 feet cord. Now I have found two external batteries that will allow you to power the <a href="http://shrsl.com/ixdh">BrightPad</a> making it mobile. You can view these <a href="http://amzn.to/2ueQRuH">HERE</a> and <a href="http://amzn.to/2t8Jcyb">HERE</a>.</div>
