Cricut Stencil Projects

Cricut products allow you to cut out designs and letters for creative projects such as scrapbooks. The machine works by giving you the ability to switch out various cartridges, which produce different designs and fonts. There are several types of Cricut machines available, but each machine comes with at least one cartridge, and more cartridges can be purchased online or in most craft stores. For a new user, this product can be overwhelming, so it helps to have a few basic project ideas in mind before starting. Check out the Cricut website for more specific project ideas with step-by-step instructions.

  1. Scrapbooking

    • Scrapbooking is probably the most obvious use for the Cricut machine. Your Cricut can be used to cut letters in different fonts, patterns and designs, page borders, or frames for your photos.

    Cardmaking

    • Many people enjoy receiving handmade cards because it shows a personal touch. Use your Cricut to cut out letters and designs for your holiday and birthday cards.

    Sign and Decoration Making

    • Cricut is able to cut through not only paper, but also heavier supplies such as vinyl or cardboard. You can use your Cricut to create signs advertising a business, or simply to make personalized decorations for your next birthday party.

    Baking

    • In 2010, Cricut released the "Cricut Cake," designed specifically for creating designs for cakes and baked goods. While this product costs around $400, it could be very useful for someone who bakes and decorates cakes often.
