Cricut Machines & Heat Presses
These are the main Cricut machines and heat presses I use for cutting designs and making shirts, mugs, cards and other custom projects. They form the main part of my Cricut setup and give me flexibility for different types of crafts.
This is the main Cricut cutting machine I use. I use it for cutting vinyl, Infusible Ink sheets, cardstock and other materials for shirts, mugs, cards and other projects.
I like having one machine that can handle several different kinds of projects. My girlfriend and I use it for both personal crafts and things we make for our small business.

Cricut Explore® 5
I use the Cricut Mug Press for making custom mugs with Infusible Ink. Once I’ve prepared the design and secured it to the mug, I like that the press handles the heat-transfer part of the process. I use it for standard mugs, custom gifts and mugs for ...
Cricut Mug Press™
This is the heat press I use mainly for shirts and larger heat-transfer projects. I use it with both iron-on vinyl and Infusible Ink. I like the larger 12 x 10 size because it gives me plenty of pressing area for shirt designs and other larger projec...

Cricut Mats, Cutting & Transfer Tools
These are the Cricut mats and tools I use for cutting, weeding, positioning and transferring designs. I use different mats and tools depending on the material and project instead of trying to use the same setup for everything.
This is one of the mats I keep for Cricut projects when I need more grip than my LightGrip mat. I use different mats depending on the material I’m cutting, so I like having both StandardGrip and LightGrip available instead of trying to use one mat fo...
Cricut StandardGrip Machine Mat, 12" x 12"
I use the LightGrip mat for lighter materials where I don’t need as much adhesive grip. I like having it alongside my StandardGrip mat because I can choose the grip based on what I’m cutting instead of using the same mat for every material.
Cricut LightGrip Machine Mat, 12" x 12"
My girlfriend and I use the Card Mat for making Cricut cards together. I like having a mat specifically designed for card making. We use it for cards for different occasions and sometimes just for fun.
Cricut Card Mat 2 x 2
This is the tool set I use for weeding vinyl and Infusible Ink designs when needed. With Infusible Ink I can sometimes use my fingers, but these tools are especially helpful for tricky areas, smaller pieces and more detailed designs.
Cricut Weeding Tool Set
I use Cricut Transfer Tape for moving adhesive vinyl designs onto the final surface. It works well for me and is easy to use. I like that it keeps the different parts of a design together while I move and position everything where I want it.

Cricut Mug Making & Infusible Ink Supplies
These are the Cricut supplies I use for custom mugs and other Infusible Ink projects. Mug making is one of the main ways I use Cricut, so I keep a mix of standard mug blanks, decorative mug options and transfer supplies depending on the project.
These are my main standard mug blanks, and I buy them in bulk from Cricut because I want a mug I can trust to work with my Mug Press. I’ve never had problems with the ink transferring properly or with the mugs breaking during pressing. I also like th...
Ceramic Mug Blank, White - 12 oz/340 ml (36 ct)
I use these with my Cricut Mug Press when I want the mug itself to feel a little more special than a standard white mug. I like the coloured inside and coloured handle, so I tend to use these for occasions, custom gifts or designs where I want the mu...
Cricut Beveled Ceramic Mug Blank – 15 oz / 425 ml
I use Cricut Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets mainly for mug making and sometimes for shirts. The colours transfer really well for me, and I haven’t had problems with the transfer quality. The designs I’ve made have also held up well after washing. I li...
Cricut Infusible Ink™ Transfer Sheets
I use Cricut Heat Resistant Tape to hold Infusible Ink sheets and designs in place on mugs and shirts. It keeps the design from moving during the transfer process. I haven’t had problems with it burning the material or causing issues with the mug, an...

Cricut Shirt, Vinyl & Card Making Supplies
These are the materials I use for shirts, cards and other Cricut projects outside of mug making. I like having different material options available because what works best depends on the type of project and the finished look I want.
I use Cricut Everyday Iron-On mostly for making custom shirts with my EasyPress. It works really well for me, and I like that there are lots of colours available. I also sometimes layer different colours to make more detailed designs. I’ve personally...
Cricut Everyday Iron-On
These are shirt blanks I use for Cricut projects, and I usually buy them when they’re on sale. I use them with vinyl or Infusible Ink, although I personally prefer Infusible Ink when possible because I like how the finished design looks on the shirt....
Women's T -Shirt Blank, V -Neck
I use this cardstock when my girlfriend and I make cards together. I haven’t done a lot of other cardstock projects yet, but it works well for the card making we currently do. I like having several colours in one sampler instead of buying a large amo...
Cricut Cardstock Sampler, Mermaid Melody - 12 in x 12 in (48 ct)
I use these as inserts when my girlfriend and I make cards with the Cricut Card Mat. I like the colours and the variety available. They work well for the cards we make, and I like that the set also includes envelopes so we already have part of what w...
