I'm an enthusiastic crafter, designer, and teacher at JenniferMaker.com. I lovelovelove my Cricut cutting machine and I can now make ANYTHING I want. My Design Space tutorials have been viewed by over 25 million unique crafters and my YouTube channel has 350 million views!

But it didn't start out that way!

So let me tell you my story. Several years ago, I was teaching a sewing class and I was weary of making patterns by hand. So on a whim, I bought a Cricut to make my teaching life easier. I made a pattern for a class that first night and taught my class a much happier person.

Amazed at my new and marvelous machine, I quickly decided I wanted to create MORE with my Cricut. I had ideas, and I wanted to see them come to life. So I made a paper flower I found on a blog and was SO impressed. Then I began to play around.

That day, I designed my first paper flower — a peony with petals based on real peony petals from my garden. I was HOOKED. I began designing LOTS of paper flowers — roses, magnolias, tulips, daisies, sunflowers — you name it, I was making petals and creating 3D paper flowers that were AH-mazing, if I do say so myself. I was getting more creative and more adventurous as I went along, because I was learning by doing on my Cricut.

Then, about two months after I began my paper flower extravaganza, I was contacted by a book publisher. They asked if I would write a book about paper flowers. I almost just said no, I can’t do that — I’m not experienced enough. But the truth is, that by this time, I was feeling pretty good about making paper flowers. Thanks to my ability to design them and cut them out right away on my handy Cricut, I was actually well along at this point. And I’ve authored 60 books already over the course of my career, so I’m experienced at writing and teaching others to do what I’ve learned. So I said yes, I’ll write a book and tell everyone what I know about making paper flowers.

A part of me thought it was just a dream. How can being able to make pretty crafts on a cutting machine translate into a book deal. But, sure enough, I turned in my book draft and received a check in the mail.

Amazing. I still am pinching myself, all these years later.

But the real joy here for me, is not a book or a check. It’s that now, because I learned how to do this, I can MAKE ANYTHING WITH MY CRICUT. You name it, I can do it. When my daughter comes to me and says, "I really like this, can we make one like it," I can. And that is a feeling like none other.

You can do this, too. That's exactly what this Cricut Design Space training is all about. No, it's not a magic crafting wand, but it IS probably the next best thing to it: a clearly laid out, step-by-step guide to how I use the Cricut Design Space software everyday to make awesome things. It may be secret sauce you've been waiting for!
