1
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:16,530
Today a package arrived.

2
00:00:42,738 --> 00:00:44,065
Good morning, friends.

3
00:00:44,065 --> 00:00:47,055
Today is a very exciting day because

4
00:00:47,056 --> 00:00:49,045
my Cricut has arrived!

5
00:00:49,045 --> 00:00:51,516
I have been wanting a Cricut for so long

6
00:00:51,516 --> 00:00:55,223
so I was super excited
when Cricut reached out to me

7
00:00:55,223 --> 00:00:57,033
to partner on this video!
[*This video has been sponsored by Cricut.]

8
00:00:57,033 --> 00:00:59,817
They were kind enough 
to send me the Cricut Maker

9
00:00:59,817 --> 00:01:01,491
as you see back there.

10
00:01:01,491 --> 00:01:03,436
Today I'm going to set it up

11
00:01:03,436 --> 00:01:06,842
because I'm going to be making stickers.

12
00:01:06,842 --> 00:01:10,227
Because I've been into journaling and stationery
and all that sort of stuff

13
00:01:10,227 --> 00:01:14,219
of course I've had a phase where I wanted
to make my own stickers before

14
00:01:14,219 --> 00:01:18,344
and I just never had proper equipment 
or material to do so.

15
00:01:18,344 --> 00:01:19,806
But now...

16
00:01:20,726 --> 00:01:22,281
Nothing's here to stop me.

17
00:01:22,507 --> 00:01:28,578
Chapter 1. SET UP

18
00:01:32,601 --> 00:01:35,954
Setting it up is super quick and easy.

19
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,929
Usually setting up machines and tech
takes me the whole day

20
00:01:40,929 --> 00:01:44,304
but you just sync it 
with the Cricut Design Space app

21
00:01:44,304 --> 00:01:48,297
and it runs you through
a step-by-step set up tutorial.

22
00:01:49,895 --> 00:01:52,252
Already done!

23
00:01:52,808 --> 00:01:56,220
Setting up a test cut.

24
00:01:57,901 --> 00:02:00,001
Before getting my Cricut machine
[Let's got to work, Cricut!]

25
00:02:00,001 --> 00:02:02,703
I did a lot of research
about the different ways and methods

26
00:02:02,703 --> 00:02:05,201
I could go about cutting and printing my stickers

27
00:02:05,201 --> 00:02:07,660
how I could best put my stickers
[Look at her go.]

28
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:11,091
without having to send them 
to manufactures and stuff

29
00:02:11,091 --> 00:02:13,519
and I decided that the Cricut maker
[Watching it is so satisfying.]

30
00:02:13,519 --> 00:02:15,164
was the best option for me.

31
00:02:15,164 --> 00:02:17,902
Not only does it cut sticker sheets like vinyl

32
00:02:17,902 --> 00:02:20,525
but it can cut over 300 different materials

33
00:02:20,525 --> 00:02:22,907
from thick to super thin.

34
00:02:22,907 --> 00:02:26,290
So I thought not only would it be good
to use this for cutting up stickers

35
00:02:26,290 --> 00:02:28,947
but if you see my vlogs you may know

36
00:02:28,947 --> 00:02:32,946
that I'm really into doing sewing projects 
and stuff like that

37
00:02:33,373 --> 00:02:37,505
and I don't yet have my sewing machine 
with me here in LA

38
00:02:37,505 --> 00:02:39,204
but I plan on getting one soon

39
00:02:39,204 --> 00:02:42,951
so I can start working
on some summer sewing projects.

40
00:02:42,951 --> 00:02:44,215
This can cut through materials

41
00:02:44,215 --> 00:02:49,114
like silk, jersey, cotton, linen, corduroy...

42
00:02:49,114 --> 00:02:51,768
pretty much any fabric you can think of.

43
00:02:51,768 --> 00:02:54,383
And when I was looking through
the list of materials it can cut

44
00:02:54,383 --> 00:02:56,014
it said it can cut through things like


45
00:02:56,014 --> 00:02:59,604
aluminum foil and even cereal boxes...?

46
00:02:59,604 --> 00:03:03,512
It's sparking all types of creativity
and inspiration for me.

47
00:03:03,512 --> 00:03:05,550
With the Cricut Maker you're definitely getting

48
00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:07,510
a lot of value for your investment.

49
00:03:08,467 --> 00:03:12,128
It has an expandable suite of tools
so you can cut, draw, score, engrave, etc.

50
00:03:12,128 --> 00:03:13,717
all from the same machine.

51
00:03:22,303 --> 00:03:25,076
Cricut Design Space has 
a bunch of premade templates

52
00:03:25,076 --> 00:03:27,025
and projects to try too.

53
00:03:27,537 --> 00:03:29,681
It is available as a mobile app

54
00:03:29,681 --> 00:03:32,273
so you can design and make from anywhere.

55
00:03:34,594 --> 00:03:38,955
Using a blank template to create text.

56
00:03:38,955 --> 00:03:43,086
Font change...

57
00:03:48,747 --> 00:03:52,876
Load the mat into the machine.

58
00:03:54,225 --> 00:03:56,995
Select material.

59
00:03:56,995 --> 00:03:59,655
Adjust cutting pressure.

60
00:04:00,781 --> 00:04:02,707
Now cut.

61
00:04:15,869 --> 00:04:17,497
Eject.

62
00:04:30,652 --> 00:04:38,549
My daily life

63
00:04:38,549 --> 00:04:41,293
06.09.21
wednesday

64
00:04:41,703 --> 00:04:44,340
Droppy flower :(

65
00:04:51,114 --> 00:04:55,216
I stopped by the local print shop 
to look at materials for my stickers.

66
00:04:55,216 --> 00:04:58,903
Deciding between clear and matte sticker paper.

67
00:05:02,163 --> 00:05:05,467
The remaining macarons I got with Stella.

68
00:05:05,467 --> 00:05:07,846
Milk&honey, fruity pebbles.

69
00:05:11,208 --> 00:05:12,537
Indecisive.

70
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:18,407
Be careful of crumbs.

71
00:05:22,946 --> 00:05:27,123
Chapter 2. DESIGN

72
00:05:29,222 --> 00:05:31,726
I don't have a drawing tablet.

73
00:05:31,726 --> 00:05:35,521
So I try to make the most
of my phone and stylus pen. 😅

74
00:05:39,128 --> 00:05:42,398
It's not easy to draw on such a small space

75
00:05:42,398 --> 00:05:45,977
so I am sticking with simple designs.

76
00:05:46,545 --> 00:05:49,014
INTENSE COLORING.

77
00:06:00,451 --> 00:06:03,994
A mid-design meal.

78
00:06:10,991 --> 00:06:15,502
Arranging all the designs onto a document to print.

79
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:20,079
Finished with my first sticker page design!

80
00:06:20,946 --> 00:06:25,393
The mess I've been avoiding in the kitchen...

81
00:06:26,699 --> 00:06:30,412
I've become quite lazy with cleaning
since living alone.

82
00:06:30,412 --> 00:06:34,424
There is no one here to witness the mess.

83
00:06:34,424 --> 00:06:37,355
So it just... happens.

84
00:06:39,248 --> 00:06:44,046
It is only 9 pm and...

85
00:06:45,259 --> 00:06:46,824
I think I need to go to bed.

86
00:06:46,824 --> 00:06:48,826
I don't know, I've been...

87
00:06:48,826 --> 00:06:51,383
super tired these past few days

88
00:06:51,383 --> 00:06:53,742
because I haven't been able to sleep very well.

89
00:06:53,742 --> 00:06:56,402
I've been waking up very very early

90
00:06:56,402 --> 00:06:59,025
as early as, like, 5:30

91
00:06:59,025 --> 00:07:01,278
but I've been very stressed.

92
00:07:01,278 --> 00:07:07,603
Kind of having post-grad stresses
and life stresses right now

93
00:07:07,603 --> 00:07:11,140
and I know, in my mind, logically

94
00:07:11,140 --> 00:07:14,507
it doesn't make sense for me be this stressed

95
00:07:14,507 --> 00:07:18,059
but unforfunately that's how my body

96
00:07:18,059 --> 00:07:23,268
and mind is handling it...
[you can tell I'm tired by how slow I'm talking lmao]

97
00:07:23,268 --> 00:07:24,252
Not very well.

98
00:07:24,252 --> 00:07:26,117
So I'm gonna try going to sleep now.

99
00:07:26,117 --> 00:07:29,570
Hopefully I can sleep
like, I just feel tired in my face

100
00:07:29,570 --> 00:07:33,587
but, like, I don't feel "sleepy"?
Like I'm not yawning or anything?

101
00:07:33,587 --> 00:07:35,434
But tomorrow I get to pick up my stickers

102
00:07:35,434 --> 00:07:37,045
and then I'm going to cut them out

103
00:07:37,045 --> 00:07:38,901
and show you what I've been working on.

104
00:07:38,901 --> 00:07:42,496
That's pretty much all I did today
which was design the stickers

105
00:07:42,496 --> 00:07:48,133
and I was trying to just distress
and let my mind relax as much as possible.

106
00:07:48,133 --> 00:07:49,719
I think this is good for me.

107
00:07:49,719 --> 00:07:53,706
I'm making some progress in self-care...

108
00:07:53,706 --> 00:07:54,802
I hope.

109
00:07:55,175 --> 00:07:57,928
06.10.21
thursday

110
00:08:00,684 --> 00:08:04,375
Taking these boxes to recycle.

111
00:08:05,190 --> 00:08:08,262
My stickers are printed!

112
00:08:09,929 --> 00:08:11,672
Do you want one of these little things

113
00:08:11,672 --> 00:08:12,840
-to protect your paper?
-Oh, yeah.

114
00:08:14,634 --> 00:08:16,719
-Thank you, have a nice day.
-Thank you.

115
00:08:22,178 --> 00:08:24,608
It's getting hot in LA

116
00:08:27,417 --> 00:08:31,357
so I'm making a smoothie.

117
00:08:33,367 --> 00:08:37,051
Using the strawberries and kale 
I picked at the farm.

118
00:08:39,348 --> 00:08:41,040
Kale

119
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,700
Strawberries

120
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:45,615
Almond milk

121
00:08:46,595 --> 00:08:48,510
Greek yogurt

122
00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:50,401
Honey

123
00:09:00,127 --> 00:09:02,368
This kinda smells grows...

124
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,278
Adding leftover strawberries on top
in hopes of improving the visual 😅

125
00:09:09,297 --> 00:09:11,181
I'm kinda scared of this.

126
00:09:11,939 --> 00:09:14,181
Here it goes.

127
00:09:21,399 --> 00:09:23,847
How do people drink these things on a regular-

128
00:09:25,588 --> 00:09:27,826
Looking at all that I have to drink.

129
00:09:28,591 --> 00:09:30,910
I know this is supposed to be good for you but...

130
00:09:32,557 --> 00:09:33,803
man...

131
00:09:34,406 --> 00:09:36,619
Don't think about it.

132
00:09:41,411 --> 00:09:44,323
Cereal to cancel the taste.

133
00:09:46,177 --> 00:09:49,758
I'm going to need a lot of cereal.

134
00:09:52,483 --> 00:09:56,848
Chapter 3. PRINT

135
00:09:58,994 --> 00:10:03,441
Choosing what parts I want cut out.

136
00:10:06,686 --> 00:10:10,690
Aligning the sticker sheet on the mat.

137
00:10:18,848 --> 00:10:22,548
I printed a couple sheets to test the cutting on.

138
00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:28,204
I had a bit of trial and error 
with the cutline settings.

139
00:10:33,409 --> 00:10:37,449
Preparing food while the Cricut works hard
in the other room.

140
00:10:43,621 --> 00:10:47,346
This grilled cheese is only for me though.

141
00:10:54,748 --> 00:10:57,014
Look at my little sticker sheet!
[The sticker sheet is done!]

142
00:10:57,828 --> 00:11:01,027
Because I don't have a printer of my own at home

143
00:11:01,027 --> 00:11:03,745
I had to go get printed at FedEX

144
00:11:03,745 --> 00:11:07,143
which kinda made this little process 
of cutting them out

145
00:11:07,143 --> 00:11:08,470
a little more difficult.

146
00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:09,726
Cricut does have a function

147
00:11:09,726 --> 00:11:12,110
so you can print and cut your stickers out

148
00:11:12,110 --> 00:11:15,455
all at once, so they're all perfectly lined up
[You can hook it up directy to your own printer.]

149
00:11:15,455 --> 00:11:17,797
but because I had to print this seperately

150
00:11:17,797 --> 00:11:20,185
cutting them out and lining them up 
on the program

151
00:11:20,185 --> 00:11:22,345
has been a little difficult.

152
00:11:22,345 --> 00:11:24,949
This was one of my tester sheets.

153
00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:28,319
As you can see I've done multiple cuts of it

154
00:11:28,319 --> 00:11:30,753
trying to get it perfectly lined up.

155
00:11:30,753 --> 00:11:34,072
This one's pretty near perfect, I'd say.
[I finally found a setting I liked.]

156
00:11:34,605 --> 00:11:37,823
Wooow!
I'm so excited to use them!

157
00:11:38,168 --> 00:11:40,632
I did post some pictures on my Instagram story

158
00:11:40,632 --> 00:11:45,069
and a few people have mentioned 
they thought I was opening a sticker shop

159
00:11:45,069 --> 00:11:47,571
which I am not, right now.

160
00:11:47,571 --> 00:11:50,098
That wasn't my intention when I got this

161
00:11:50,098 --> 00:11:52,506
because I still have a lot of learning to do

162
00:11:52,506 --> 00:11:56,238
and I'm not quite satisfied 
with these designs anyway

163
00:11:56,245 --> 00:11:59,776
this is just my first try at making stickers.

164
00:11:59,776 --> 00:12:02,467
But if that is something you would be interested in

165
00:12:02,467 --> 00:12:03,725
I'd love to hear.

166
00:12:03,725 --> 00:12:06,858
If there's a demand for it, let me know.

167
00:12:06,858 --> 00:12:11,397
But, I must say, I'm quite proud 
of how these turned out so far

168
00:12:11,397 --> 00:12:14,093
and the Cricut has been super easy to use.

169
00:12:14,093 --> 00:12:15,825
I just...

170
00:12:16,597 --> 00:12:19,943
I think I might need to get a printer some time.

171
00:12:20,586 --> 00:12:24,196
Chapter 4. DECORATE

172
00:12:31,636 --> 00:12:35,157
I was inspired by all the baked goods
and cafe drinks I wish to make.

173
00:12:37,972 --> 00:12:42,549
The simple, minimalistic design
makes them easy to decorate with.

174
00:12:59,418 --> 00:13:02,529
So happy with them!

175
00:13:04,731 --> 00:13:07,111
My roommate is back in town!

176
00:13:07,111 --> 00:13:10,280
And my friend from high school is visiting.

177
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:14,085
So I took them out for a tteokbokki dinner.

178
00:13:16,275 --> 00:13:19,563
Happy to see my friends again <3

179
00:13:19,563 --> 00:13:22,950
All the yupdduk we have left vs the one rice ball.

180
00:13:23,693 --> 00:13:25,908
Two plates of empty radish.
[It was so spicy.]

181
00:13:25,908 --> 00:13:27,023
Three jugs of water.

182
00:13:27,866 --> 00:13:30,271
Three jugs of water

183
00:13:30,271 --> 00:13:32,613
pending on the fourth.
[The fourth (jug) is pending.]

184
00:13:32,613 --> 00:13:34,206
Oh, it looks like I'm by myself, look.

185
00:13:34,206 --> 00:13:36,137
It looks like I just ate this.

186
00:13:36,137 --> 00:13:38,226
All, this was all me.

187
00:13:40,929 --> 00:13:42,364
I just ate this entire thing on my own.

188
00:13:42,364 --> 00:13:43,953
I know, mukbang.

189
00:13:44,687 --> 00:13:46,323
-Oh my-
-Oh my God.

190
00:13:47,003 --> 00:13:49,532
SPICIEST RICE CAKES EVER!!

191
00:13:49,820 --> 00:13:52,619
-And then they're like: fire, fire, fire, fire emojis.

192
00:13:52,619 --> 00:13:55,528
And then they're like: 
"Ariel when she gets mad at Sebastian".

193
00:13:57,055 --> 00:14:01,144
Talking about seafood boil mukbangs 💀

194
00:14:01,144 --> 00:14:04,074
Take care, friend.
