Bring YOUR Designs to Life

If you want to move beyond Cricut Design Space and create your own cut files from scratch, Adobe Illustrator is one of the top programs to use! In this module you'll learn the basics of Adobe Illustrator, including how to convert your sketches into cut files, how to recolor artwork, and how to make high-quality SVGs that will cut perfectly on your Cricut.

After this course, you'll...

  • Know Your Artboard

    You will understand the layout of Adobe Illustrator's main art board (canvas), including the main menus, tools, and features. You will also set up a custom workspace so you can find tools easily.

  • Convert Text to SVGs

    There are so many fun fonts out there! You will learn how to choose the best fonts for your Cricut (and know what to avoid!), manipulate them, and make them into cuttable SVG files.

  • Make the Connection

    You will understand the underlying vector artwork system, and you'll make the connection on why certain files cut better than others. It's like a lightbulb going off once you understand how vectors work!

Hey hey! I'm Cori and I'm the creative mind behind the website and digital shop Hey, Let's Make Stuff. I love inspiring people to make their lives more fun with Cricut crafts, SVG downloads, and simple DIY tutorials.

You may have seen my Cricut work on the Cricut Inspiration blog, for the craft retailer JOANN, and for digital companies like CraftBundles.com and FontBundles.com. I have also had the privilege of teaching at the Cricut Mountain Make-a-Thon in Salt Lake City.

You’ll also find my debut paper-crafting book, Paper Party, in craft stores and on Amazon, and my second cutting machine craft book is scheduled for release in 2020!

When I'm not creating, I love traveling, sarcasm, strong coffee, and spending quality time with my husband, adorable twin boys, and seriously enormous dog in beautiful Northern California. Let's learn the Cricut together!
