Do you need Cricut Access?
Cricut Access is a monthly subscription that gets you access to images, fonts, and projects in Cricut Design Space. It is not required to use your Cricut machine and is not required for the information in this book. The Beginner’s Guide to Cricut Design Space is for every Cricut user!
Does this book cover tools and materials?
There are other things you need when operating your Cricut like a cutting mat, cutting materials, and even one of the 13 tools Cricut makes. In this book, I only have information on Cricut Design Space. It does not cover those other tools and materials. If you want to learn more about your Cricut machine, I recommend taking my free Cricut class by clicking here.
Is this really free?
Absolutely! The guide is free when you sign up below. Once you sign up to get the guide, you will be offered some additional products in a limited-time sale. You can purchase those or close out that window but you will still get the free guide.
