My Office, My Cricut Explore Air, My New Found Freedom To Create On The Go

Have you heard of the Cricut Explore Air? It’s the newest member of the Cricut family and it’s opened the door to truly being creative on the go. I personally get inspired in the oddest places… like the grocery store… but I also get inspired when I run across a beautiful fabric at my local Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store.

In either case, the new Cricut Design Space app for iPad® and the Cricut Explore Air, allow me to design on the go. I can whip out my iPad, which is almost always with me, quickly pull ideas onto a new mat, hit save and finish the project when I get home. No more forgetting that amazing craft idea that popped into your head while buying pineapples. {wink}

Meet Cricut Explore Air with Kim Byers

This is a quick shot of a corner in my office. Doesn’t my Explore fit right in?! I mean, functional and pretty!

What’s different you ask? If you’re familiar with the Cricut Explore, just know it’s the Explore, but better. The Cricut Explore Air™ still precisely cuts a wide variety of materials from paper to iron-on to adhesive vinyl—even thick materials like leather and burlap! But this machine features built-in Bluetooth® for wireless cutting, a dual carriage to cut and write in just one step, and free cloud-based design software for your computer and iPad®. YIPPEE!

Why should you care about the iPad app and wireless? Well, there is always loving not having more cords to hide. {grin} But in my opinion, I’m much faster from design, to cut with the iPad app. Let’s face it, we love touching screens over moving mouses, don’t we!

For instance, I whipped this fun “hello” vinyl wall decal up in about 10 minutes. From setting it up, to cutting it out, to using transfer paper to attach it to the wall above one of my craft tables! Yep… 10 minutes! (Make this HELLO wall decal now in Cricut Design Space!)

Can I start on my iPad and finish on my computer? Absolutely! The easy-to-use Cricut Design Space software system gives you access to all of your images and projects from any compatible computer or iPad®. It’s cloud-based, so your projects are always synced across all your devices.

Do I really design and set up projects on the go? I do, I truly do. If your family is anything like mine, you’re always on the go. I personally have two boys and we stay in sports almost all year round. Admittedly I love watching them play sports so it’s not as painful as it sounds, but there is a lot of down time at practice. Now, with the new iPad app and my Cricut Explore Air, I can design my next project while away from home and cut, write, score and print when I get back home. I feel productive and I don’t miss a moment of my boys!

I’ll be creating some really fun projects with my Cricut Explore Air over the next few weeks and showing you just how easy it is.

Cricut Explore AirI’ll also be hosting a few fun giveaways so make sure you stick around. I’d love to put a Cricut Explore Air in your hands!

Or, you can hop over to your local Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores and pick one up along with Cricut vinyl, pens, iron-on goodies and more!

As always, I hope you’re inspired to craft, bake, create and celebrate!
