If you ever craft with me, you know how much I love my Cricut Explore Air 2. And you know how many projects I make with it. Pretty much ALL of the projects! {wink}
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.
5 Things I Love About This Machine
There are more than five things I love about my Cricut Explore Air 2, but these are the most important craft game changers!
#1 Freedom To Make Pretty Much Make Anything I Want
Never again do I have to settle for the t-shirts in stores. I can make mine and I can make it say anything I want. For instance, if I want a t-shirt that says I LOVE JESUS or I LOVE RUNNING MORE THAN TACO TUESDAY, I don’t have to search for it. I just make it!
#2 Ability To Personalize All The Things
Being a Southern girl, I put my monogram and name on just about everything! From Christmas pajamas, to rain jackets to purses, and it makes me happy! I also put school logos on water bottles, t-shirts, etc. Oh, and what about labeling lunch boxes, water bottles, kindergarten mats, etc. I also love labeling things in closets and in the pantry… should I go on? :)
Personalized Easter Goody Bags
#3 Complete Design Independence
As a graphic designer, I love… beyond love… the ability to design a shape, a layered card, a t-shirt, etc. and then load it to Cricut Design Space and make it into a physical product. I can’t explain how that feature alone has changed me professionally.

#4 Professional Look Every Time
I’ve been crafting for many many years. No, I’m not going to tell you how Old I am. :) I love that now my crafts look professional because every cut is precise and completely perfect. I used to want to make handmade cards, but they never turned out that great. now my Handmade cards can look like this!

#5 Print Then Cut
THis is one of those underused features of the Cricut Explore air 2 in my OPINION. with this feature you can not only print high quality crafts, but you can cut them perfectly as if you purchased them from the store. But in the case of the cricut, you can personalize them before you print. so you can have a bee shaped placecard with your guests name on it in a matter of minutes! No graphic designer needed. no fancy print shop. no expensive bill! YAY!
Wondering besides my favorite things, what the Explore Air 2 can do? Oh, so much more!!

Make Run. Craft. Sleep. Repeat. Mug
I love making coffee mugs, using them for a few months, removing the vinyl and making more! This mug is perfect for me. I’ve shared that I’m an assistant coach for our Cross Country and Track and Field team, so my life is pretty much, RUN. CRAFT. SLEEP. REPEAT. :)
And since I make a ton of mugs, I have a little video that will show you all the tips and tricks to make your own perfect mug. (NOTE: The process is the same in Design Space for Explore Air 2 and Maker.) Here’s the Design Space file for this mug, or open it up and design your own. As I’ve shared, this is one of may very favorite things about owning a Cricut Explore Air 2. You can make it personal!
