So this would be really cool You just throw a money amount in here and you can give this to graduate You can give it to a birthday person and you can make all sorts of them They are so cool so fun to create and it costs under under 50 cents to create this whole thing Stay tuned for step-by-step instructions and I will share with you everything that I used in this video All right guys, I'm so excited for this video tutorial I hope you love this video tutorial Give me a thumbs up and hit the subscribe button if you're not subscribers of mine You want to stay tuned because you are going to be making money on these So I'm starting in design space and I have a few different designs here that I purchased I will leave the link down below where I purchased them from and All you got to do is upload them. So I'm gonna grab these really quick add to canvas I'm not gonna use every single one of these, but they are kind of cool I have triplets actually and their birthdays coming up pretty soon. So it'd be kind of neat to give them something like this So I'm just gonna grab a couple of these here. Congratulations different birthday ones Congratulations, blah blah blah. My daughter is actually graduating high school in a couple of weeks. I figure I make her some of those So with that being said I just grabbed whatever I wanted to use It's gonna be a big jumbo mumbo mess here and I will show you really quick how to fix it I'm gonna shrink my screen a little bit first of all just to kind of show you what it looks like Then I'm gonna grab everything Move it to one side shrink it a little bit. Now I can bring my screen back up And we can work from this. So one of these If I can find it this one here whoops didn't mean to make it bigger this one here I'm gonna leave just the way it is I might resize a little bit later You just print this page off the way it is and basically it's just directions how you put this on I will leave everything I use in the description down below, but please ask any questions if you have any I'm just gonna go through here and basically the only thing that you have to do because you save these as a print then cut All you have to do is change the size to what you want Again, I'm sorry. There's so many of them. I just wanted to show you really quick What they would look like so I'm actually gonna get rid of these just because we don't need so many I just wanted to show you the options of all of them that they had So for me, I've been using actually four by five and that's been working really well So I'm gonna grab the first one here. Oops grab the first one. Oh my goodness. My computer doesn't want to work Let's try it again. There we go. Grab the first one unlock it and then change it to be four by five And then you want to go in and change every one of these to the same size Your size might be different than mine, but for the stuff that I purchased to use these four This works perfectly for me. So I'm just gonna go in here and keep doing the same thing Just changing them all to be four by five and Then I will show you the next step By the way, are you guys happy with my video tutorials the subscribers that I have already? I would love to hear from you guys. Let me know if I'm doing a good job What videos you would guys would like to see? I'm always up for options and doing different things I am back to stay. I've been gone for a little while not doing too many videos Just really busy with life and my kids. So I'm really happy to get back to this So leave me some comments down below what you would like to see me create. I'm trying I'm actually going to be doing a my first craft show On let's see in a couple of days, which I don't know if I'll have this published in time But I will let you guys know I will do a YouTube short and kind of show you my setup and what I'm doing And what I'm selling and I won't be honest with you and let you know what I sold How much I sold it for? I'm an open book. Ask me anything. I have a craft e-book If you're interested in that I sell that on Etsy spend going really great. I do need to do an update on it pretty soon Just with some more information that I've learned over the past few months But I would love for you guys to check that out, too I'll leave the link in the description down below Enough yapping. Okay guys, alright, so I'm gonna grab this one and I'm actually gonna make it as big as I can So what I'm saying because I can't if I make it this big I don't know if you saw but a little red dot came here and says hey, that's too big You can't print that so I'm just gonna actually take it Or you can go over here and just push a little button. You can see you can't print any larger than eight and a half by 14 Or seven point four four by nine point four seven, so you just want to make sure that that you're not going over that So basically I just kind of go like this and kind of wing it I guess and make it as large as I can So this is going to print off into one whole page and it's going to cut it out for you as well just again description of Directions and how to use these really neat. I am so looking forward to selling these at my craft fair I will let you know how it goes. That's it guys It's all you had to do it change it to be four by five and then change this to be a little bit bigger With this file here the one that I purchased you Cannot ungroup this and you cannot contour it which I kind of don't like because What if I wanted to make a whole bunch of the purple ones or a whole bunch of the blue ones? so unfortunately, you can't I mean you could go in and Get a shape Let's say a square and take out every single one of these. That would be a big pain So I wouldn't even worry about it. Who's gonna really look at that just directions on how to use it So that is it. I'm gonna go to make it And I'm just using my regular printer my ink printer And I'm going to print these out as you see here each one is printing two per sheet Just like that except for the first one where I said it was gonna print all at once like this So I'm gonna go ahead and click continue And because you're my machine is on I'm gonna send it to my printer. So it depends what kind of printer you have I will leave it in the description down below what I use I have an epsom eco tank and I have to say I absolutely love it I've gotten thousands and thousands of prints off of that machine without changing the ink and I'm looking at the ink right now that I have and it's a bottle You don't and I just had to buy a new one because my husband prints flyers every week for our movie theater that we own and We just had to change the ink and I think for five colors That last thousands and thousands of pages prints. I should say it was under thirty dollars absolutely crazy So if you're looking for a new printer, I actually just purchased my second one. It's an epsom eco tank And I will leave it in the description down below. So again, sorry about the yap and just like to give you guys great information So I need to change my printer. Sometimes, you know, you might have more than one printer So I'm actually using no problem this epsom. I have the 8500 and then I have this one as my Subbing printer, so I'm gonna click on this one. I got rid of bleed I do not like having the bleed on there if we read it here I just said bleeds extends ink slightly beyond border. I don't don't want that. So I always turn the Add bleed off. I'm gonna go ahead and print this and I'm gonna show you what it looks like You see it has a little register lines on the side. Your cricket needs to read that So you need to make sure that your page is printing this off in order for it to do the next Parts so I'm gonna get my camera set up. I'm gonna print these off and I'm gonna talk to you about that next So stay tuned I am so sorry. I skipped ahead and I forgot to tell you guys about this next part. So once you push Make it it comes to this and you want to set your base material So for the printer or the cart the oh my goodness for the paper I'm using is cardstock. So I'm going to be using this cardstock for intricate cuts and it works really well for me My paper is 90 pounds for the cardstock So I'm gonna go ahead and click that one and I'm gonna print it out through my printer And then after it's done printing it's going to say You know put your cardstock on I always use a blue mat and some people has said to me I didn't realize that the colors were different kinds of mats. Yes, your blue mat is for like paper light stick your green mat is your standard and I believe the purple is the Stickiest one that you can get so I'm using a blue mat and I'm using a 90 pound cardstock So this is what works for me is this cardstock for intricate cuts now. I'm gonna go ahead and show you guys what this looks like I just want to jump jump back in here really quick and tell you That's the next part. You're gonna want to do all right So here I have it on my blue mat This is what it looks like when I was talking about your register marks that are here Your cricket is going to do some funny sounds and stuff But don't be alarmed when you're printing and cutting something it will do that So I'm gonna put it in here push a flashing button I'm gonna kind of show you what it looks like when it's going It's gonna light up and it's gonna make some weird sounds and then it's gonna cut it out So I'm gonna go ahead and do it and show you what it looks like Just in case you're new to print then cut I when I first did I was like what is this doing? I've never seen it before act like this So just in case you're new and like I said it lights up. It's just checking for those register marks right there This is what it's doing going back and forth That's why those register marks are very important when you're doing print then cut Um, you could also do this if you didn't even have a cricket machine You could do this on uh, let's say camber and print it out and then cut it by hand But you know if you have a cricket you might as well take advantage of it So this is what they look like. I'm gonna let it finish it up. Um, I have a few that I'm going to be cutting Unfortunately, you can only print two to a page But I'm gonna show you really quick what you want to put on there So I have these probably won't show up very well, but I have these things And basically you just tuck your money in there Um, and then put it on there So I'll show you that in the next step But I just wanted to show you what the cricket was going to do It's just thinking about it and it's going to take a little bit longer because it does two cuts on this But it's the perfect way It cuts it out absolutely perfect So I'm just going to show you a couple seconds more And then I'll show you how easy they are to pull off Like I said, you want to make sure you use your blue mats You do not want this to be too sticky, but you also want to make sure your mat is clean And it's cutting the little circles out at the top there, which I'll show you when it's all done That's going to do one pass and then it's going to go around one more time Like I said, I'm using the cardstock one For intricate cuts and this works perfect for me. So this is all it's done already Does take a little bit longer because it's doing this like two cuts But I'm just going to show you how easy this comes off. So if I push this button again I'll show you so all I gotta do let's get in focus here is pull this off And the other two are left on there and you can save this paper if you want to for other projects I just kind of put it on the side But then there is a little hole on the top that I was talking about And then you put that little plastic part that I showed you over this So I'm going to finish cutting these ones out and then I'll show you what they look like And how I package them. So I have all my supplies here I'm going to tell you what each thing is and I will leave everything in the description below But here are the papers that I cut out These are the directions that you're going to want to put in there and then here is Um the paper. So here's an example. There's um the piece on here ready I'm just going to show you kind of what it looks like and then I'm going to show you what it looks like when you package it So I use cellophane bags and I put the in the front and then I put the directions in the back and then I put the um little I think it's called lipstick holder in the back and then it comes with little sticky things too So you have this side with sticky side. So I cut this up In half like this so they get four pieces And then they can do it themselves or you can do it for them and just kind of throw it in there But I'm going to show you how I do this and what it looks like. So this is what it looks like when it's done Obviously you put money in here, but I just want to show you what it looks like. So it looks like that I have five by seven cellophane self-sealing bags like this I just find the front throw this in here And then here's the part where it depends what you want to do. So I take one direction So I put it in the back so they know what to do And here's where it comes in if you want to do it for them or if you want them to do it I mean the directions do say gently peel off adhesive. So basically what you want to do is this is what it looks like They come in like I think it was like a pack of a hundred And basically this is what it looks like. It's just it would hold like lipstick or your money for this time Or you can put even chapstick and if you change the look of it But basically you just want to take the double. This is double-sided sticky tape. So you don't really have to be That careful because you're not going to see the white part It's double-sided sticky tape. So you want to do your best getting it on here Especially if you're going to leave it on here and then let them peel it off You want to make the presentation look nice. So here's the two end parts and then you want to just take the two longer pieces And lay them on there as well And then you want to make sure you uh stick it down really well just like you would like if you're putting vinyl on a mat You want to make sure it's down on there really nice. Whoops that was not nice Easy part about it is you can peel it back off. So you want to put it on here. It's coming off the edge You want to put it on here. You know when I was doing this by myself I was doing a lot better than Being on camera. It's a lot harder than you would expect So i'm just taking it and pushing it down really well. This part you can leave Like I said, you can either do this for them or you can just leave it in the bag I was just leaving it in the bag like this so it's here so that they can do it themselves Um, but you can do it this way either way and then it's like I said double-sided sticky tape So you're just going to take this white backing off. I don't know if it'll show up on camera But this part is sticky now. So all they have to do is peel that off and then they can stick it on there themselves But like I said, I was actually leaving it all together And then what you want to do is just take this and put it in the front for kind of like an example to show them What it would look like So just like that and like I said, this is self sealing. So all you gotta do is peel this All you gotta do is peel that and then make it look nice and neat and even And that's how it's done just like that and I plan on selling these for five bucks a piece We'll see like I said, I have a craft show this weekend I'm going to tell you guys how I did in the community section So if you're interested in learning about my craft fair and what I sold and pictures and all that kind of stuff make sure you check me out in the community section on my YouTube page Because there I'm going to show you everything and if you have any questions I'm a totally open book if you want to know what I sold something for if you want to know what I paid for it I'm an open book.
