Three grips are better than one. The right cutting mat is so important to you project and they are not created equal. I like having all three so I can adjust based on my project.

Ok. If you know you are going to work with larger format projects having this set of 3 mats (all different stickiness) is awesome! Cut your vinyl to size and start personalizing your next project!

The Silhouette is a great alternative to Cricut. You can use the same vinyl, mats, tools and more, but it uses different software. Cricut is less flexible as you must use their program. The Silhouette allows a little more flexibility in designs and f...

This is my preferred brand of vinyl for removable (no heat) application. Start with your black and white basics and add other colors as you need them. I apply this to fabric backdrops that I need to reuse over and over again.

Yep. This is on the right list. I use Glad Press & Seal as my transfer paper for balloons and fabrics. It's less sticky and works like a charm.

For some reason I just love the Cricut brand vinyl the best. I use iron on or permanent versions. The colors, quality and application are just the best.

I use this iron everyday and it is NEVER to press my clothes. Several of my personalization projects are with iron on vinyl. This iron makes it so easy. It's compact for travel and precise in operating. No steam required. Cost per use is so worth it!

I've decided I like permanent iron on vinyl almost as much as the removable. It's a guarantee for your projects and less worry. Once ironed the message or design is in place forever. Make sure you use mirroe mode on your cricut and put the glossy sid...

There are two types of Cricut machine I'd recommend. The smart one is listed (requires NO cutting mat) or the Air 2. It's easy to use, but does require a cutting mat. And it is discounted at most places since the newer smart machines are out.

When I'm adding personalization to a project I like to use an ironing board vs. a table or desk. It's going to give you the best result with your heat related projects. Some are full size if you need surface area but it is also great to get a wool pr...

If you need something portable or don't have space for an inoning board look for a wool pressing mat. The wool is 100% best material when pressing at any heat temp.
