Before we create anything, let’s make sure your setup is smooth.
You’ll learn how to download and install Cricut Design Space on your computer or device, connect your machine, and sign in — with a few pro tips to avoid common beginner hiccups.

Time to explore!
Get a guided tour of the Design Space dashboard so you know exactly where to click and what everything does. We’ll walk through the canvas area, toolbar, design panel, and project browser — so you can stop guessing and start creating.

What’s free, what’s not, and what’s actually worth it?
We’ll break down the differences between a free Cricut account and a paid Cricut Access subscription — and help you decide whether the upgrade fits your creative goals and budget.

Find the perfect design without the scroll struggle.
Learn how to search and filter the massive Cricut library to discover ready-to-make projects, fonts, and images that suit your style — and how to spot which ones are included in your plan.

Let’s make it yours.
This lesson shows you how to personalise a pre-made project — changing colours, text, materials, and sizing to match your creative vision. You’ll finish with your first “I made this!” moment.

Never lose your masterpiece again.
We’ll show you how to save your designs in “My Stuff,” create Collections (folders), Bookmarking and reopen your projects whenever inspiration (or a new idea) strikes.

Your creative cheat sheet.
Wrap up your learning with downloadable checklists, beginner FAQs, and quick-reference guides to keep beside your machine — plus where to find official Cricut support and community groups when you get stuck.

Learn how to add shapes, resize, rotate, and arrange your design elements.
We’ll explore how the canvas works as your digital workspace — plus tips for keeping things neat and creative as you plan your first project.

Before you hit cut, you’ll preview your project on the mat.
We’ll walk through what all the colours and mats mean, how to check placement, and how to adjust your layout to save materials and avoid surprises.

It’s time to introduce your design to your Cricut.
Learn how to connect via Bluetooth or USB, check your firmware, and confirm your machine is ready to go. (Don’t worry, it’s easier than setting up a toaster.)

Vinyl, cardstock, iron-on — they all need different settings!
You’ll learn how to use Browse All Materials, find the perfect cut settings, and bookmark your most-used materials for faster crafting next time.

Let’s prep for launch.
We’ll show you how to properly place your material, align the mat, and load it into your Cricut. Plus, a few pro tips for keeping it straight and bubble-free.

The best moment — that magic “whirr.”
Hit the flashing Go button and watch your Cricut bring your design to life. You’ll learn how to monitor progress, unload your mat safely, and check for clean cuts.

The big reveal! 🎉
Once your Cricut has finished cutting, it’s time to safely unload your mat and remove your materials without bending, tearing, or curling your design. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to gently peel materials, use your tools to lift delicate cuts, and keep your mat sticky and clean for next time.

You’ll finish this step with your first perfectly cut project piece — ready for weeding, layering, or showing off proudly on your desk.
