"I learned so much! Jennifer makes things easy to understand and challenges us to try things we haven’t done before! I’ve learned so many new tips and tricks. The Facebook group is very encouraging. I love seeing other members projects and sharing mine! Everyone is encouraging and supportive. I highly recommend this course."

Praise from Jennifer's Students

"I am really enjoying your course and also learning a lot. I find it easy to learn from your videos and have even gone back and replayed lessons to refresh my memory. I love that there is lifetime access; this is one of the main reasons I signed up for it. The added bonus of the workbooks were a totally unexpected and a fantastic reference." -- Sherrie Lou

"Jennifer, I have enjoyed this class so much! You’re a wonderful teacher and you’ve given me a path to a new outlet for my creative energy. I know that, with practice, I can go anywhere and do anything I want to from here on out. The sky is the limit! You’ve taught and encouraged each one in this class to try and fail until we try and succeed—and it’s OKAY! We learn from our mistakes and, boy, have I learned A LOT! LOL! The information you’ve taught us consisting of step-by-step instruction for simple to complex projects has given us confidence to tackle even the most complex instructions and come out on top, excited to have accomplished the completion of each and every project with your tips and pointers including personalized trouble shooting. THANK YOU! High five please!" -- Judy Krull

"Oh Jennifer! Where do I begin?!? I knew the first time I read about it, that this course was my chance to open a door leading to many adventures for me. Each lesson has been a new learning experience. Some of the lessons were lots of fun and some of them were more challenging, but all of them are very informative. And the one thing that I was REALLY impressed with was the ability to get one on one help!! That makes any problem less daunting. And, believe it or not, it helps to see others posting their questions too. More than once I've found answers or easier ways to do things. I just can't say enough good things. I would absolutely recommend this course to ANYONE that likes crafts of any kind. I can promise that if you do take this course, you will have fun and you WILL LEARN A LOT!!" -- Lelia Dorado

"I was terrified of my Cricut machine at first. Everything I attempted was a disaster! By taking Jennifer’s course, I have tamed that beast called Cricut & I am making many, many projects! Thank you Jennifer!" -- Renee Banbury 

"I love the your course! I have learned so much. When I started I had no clue how to navigate. You have been a great teacher and I am so happy I invested in this class!" -- Debbie Berke

"Taking your course was one of the best learning adventures I have been on in a long time. I was so out of the loop on crafting and doing this course was just what I needed. I found your course to be a great learning adventure. I recommend it to as many people as I can, as often as I can. Love your easy way of teaching. You have a true talent and skill set that is rare with so many of the e-courses. Thank you for all you do." -- Helen Roberts

"Everything you have out there has helped me learn how to use my Cricut, personalize gifts for friends and family, and try things I would have never dreamed I could do. I have taken a bit of a break on the course, having lifetime access removes any pressure to finish the course in a set amount of time. However, I recently had some issues with installing fonts and was able to go back and look at videos at the beginning of the course that helped. I am having great fun!" -- Patty Valker  

Even More Praise from Jennifer's Students

"This class has been amazing. I have been a lifetime crafter and novice cricut user. This class has elevated my use of the cricut to endless possibilities and reinvigorated my love for crafting." — Rose Bailey

"Jennifer is an excellent teacher. She takes you through each project step by step with great thought to all the little details. She is very quick to address any questions that you might have about a project. You will learn a lot from taking this course even if you have been using Design Space for a while & you will have a very supportive community behind you every step of the way. Have fun!" -- Rhonda Pagano

"The knowledge I gained from JenniferMaker Cricut College is invaluable. This course delivers all the in-depth tutorials, information, and personal attention needed to choose and use the correct material and Cricut tools, successfully work alongside Jennifer to make beautiful creations, and ultimately create your own designs. Prior to taking this course, I had very little knowledge of Cricut Design Space and was intimidated when I attempted one of the available designs. I am no longer intimidated by these designs and am now capable of designing my own. THANK YOU Jennifer for going above and beyond to make this course a success!" -- Cindy Klinger

" I enjoyed the course so much, it has changed me - I have became so passionate about my Cricut Maker, and I love making gifts for friends and family and our home. Thank you Jennifer." -- Leanne Vogt 

"This course has been worth every penny. I have learnt so much about how to use my Cricut & all the wonderful things it can do. This course is amazing & I have designed things I never thought I could do! Jennifer Maker & all her team are so supportive & encouraging. Well worth the time & money for sure." -- Dorothy Newsham

"Design to Shine is full of fun and information. There were a couple of units that I thought to myself before starting them, 'Oh, this will be a piece of cake. I already know how to do this.' I may have known how to do it one way but I still learned something. Sometimes an easier way, sometimes a different way, and sometimes I learned the reason I always had problems was that I was doing it the wrong way. The thing is … I LEARNED SOMETHING NEW IN EVERY SINGLE LESSON! Thank you, Jennifer, for your incredible, thorough, and very informative teaching and the best fun I’ve had in a while! You rock! -- Donna Brockman

"Cricut College has been worth every cent paid. The support from Jennifer's team and the Facebook community is an incredible added plus. Jennifer is an incredible teacher and the content is first rate, complete, detailed and chocked full of tips. The course is self-paced so you can do it when you have time, there's no need to rush through at all." -- Diana Jan

""Este curso de Jennifer Maker ha sido una de las mejores inversiones q he hecho, tomé el curso Platino,(el mas caro) y la facilidad de pagarlo en 3 cuotas me dio la oportunidad de tener acceso a todos los videos y recursos q Jennifer pone a nuestra disposición y lo mejor: De Por Vida!! Siempre voy a poder revisar los videos y ver las actualizaciones de ellos con el paso del tiempo. Si quieren aprender a usar su Cricut y no tenerle miedo a Design Space, les recomiendo que tomen el curso, no se van a arrepentir. Las clases son en Ingles, pero aunque el Ingles no es nuestra lengua materna, podemos seguir los pasos, con solo ver los videos, Jennifer enseña hasta a donde darle click en la pantalla." — Mayra Guerra

"OMG this course has been the best experience I have had in a long time. I learned so much and one of the best parts is that people are so encouraging and helpful. Jennifer and her team are very present and help with any questions you may possibly have. The pictures shared in the group give those of us who have trouble visualizing the little jump step we need to make very amazing things. I found myself craving to learn more. I would love to encourage others as I have been encouraged and would love to share photos for examples and ideas. I truly loved every moment of this course and hope that newbies do too." — Jennifer Antos

"Jennifer, your classes are the best as, in a jovial manner, cover most every angle of a situation and teach so every style of learning is factored in. In your classes, any crafter, at any level, can learn how use (or better use) their Cricut machine, then expand their knowledge to create designs of their own whether for personal use & gifts or as a professional for their business. Also, you & your staff are wonderful as you are: always positive; if you don't have an answer, you either direct one to Cricut &/or allow other students to give suggestions/answers; and show your own work along with tips or struggles and solutions. Everyone (Jennifer, staff & other crafters) makes the class seem like we are a group of friends gathered together to work on our projects all at our own pace and without criticism. I'm looking forward to continuing, learning more tips and techniques, and completing great projects." — Hope Bonnell

"First I want to say how happy I am that I signed up for the Design to Shine course. I had purchased a Cricut Explore many years ago and never used it. Mainly because I didn't know how. Everything has to be done in Design Space and no instructions come with the machine. So I somehow found some of your videos just about a year ago. I loved how you explained everything. So because I wanted to do more things with a Cricut machine, I bought the Cricut Maker when they were on sale. I was eager to learn how to use it. So when the Design to Shine course was offered, I jumped at the chance to try and learn more. I have only completed up to lesson 4 so far, but I am so happy with everything I am learning so far. I am learning so much and I know so much about Design Space that I never would have learned on my own. Jennifer is such a great teacher. She goes through each step and explains it so you can understand it. I love that I can take my time and go at my own pace. There are always people in the group going at different paces so you don't have to feel bad if you are not doing the same project as everyone else. Also, it's wonderful that I can print out every lesson and put them in binder! Then I can refer back to them. I also want to say that Jennifer has a great team of people that encourage you and help in any way they can. So if you have a Cricut machine and want to learn how to use it - sign up for the Design to Shine course! You will not regret it , and it's well worth the money for the cost of the course! I am excited to learn even more after I complete the next 6 lessons!" — Carol Mathewson

"I had my Cricut for at least a year, collecting dust. This course has gotten me over my fear of Cricut. I have learned so much, including getting over the idea of perfection. Your lessons are so easy to follow that I am making things that I never thought I could. Thank you!" - Karin Baldwin

"This course for me has been absolutely worth EVERY penny. I have had my Cricut for approximately a year and would have considered myself a moderately experienced user before taking this course. I have learned so very much and have enjoyed every minute. So much so that I plan to go through again with the next class of students! Thanks Jennifer for such a wonderful experience!!" — Michaele Potter

"Cricut College has been invaluable. So much so that I have started my own business with my Cricut! I've gotten skilled enough that my employer has me making or adding to purchased items to market the firm or send to clients as gifts. I would recommend your courses to anyone, and have on several occasions." — Suzanne Olden

"This is such a fabulous course! You will be so comfortable with your Cricut and Design Space when you're done. No better instructor than Jennifer Maker." — July Lyons

"This course gives you all the tools needed to get started, Jennifer is amazing, her tutorials are easy to understand and you are left with a wonderful feeling of ‘I can do this’ and you can slow down her tutorials if you’re a bit slow on the uptake like me . I have completed her first course and now about to enroll onto her next one. I have made some amazing things and so pleased I stumbled across Jennifer." — Lorna Tate

"This course is amazing! Most of all, I love the sequential order of the lessons. New knowledge builds on old knowledge, and this helped me to internalize what I was doing. I love that it is self-paced so I can tackle the projects at my pace. Plus, as my confidence grows with the program, I find I am able to design my own projects in between which was my goal to start with." — Debbie Sprague

"When I got my cricut I was overwhelmed because I knew nothing about it. But after working through Jennifer Maker's Cricut Kickoff and now her Design to Shine courses I feel so much more capable to achieve anything I put my mind to create. The techniques I'm learning and learning the Design Space program with her courses have got me even sketching out designs to try when I finish the course. Thank you so much Jennifer! I really don't think I would be this confident or capable without your help!" — Susan Park

"I did the Platinum level and have not looked back. I found JenniferMaker not long after I got my Cricut and have been with her ever since. I really like how the courses build on each other and use a variety of materials. To me it makes sense logically to start with paper, then work to the vinyls and other materials. I also really like how she says, to use what you have on hand and to try what you like and make it your own. I rarely did a project exactly like she did, but I still got the practice with the machine and Design Space. Also really love all the resources available including the private group. I have gained confidence in my crafting thanks to her community. I have made tons of items for friends and family and this past month made a sale to a neighbor who wanted a name on a cup. My goal is now to set up shop and start selling items this coming year." — Andrea Griffiths

"I loved the course! Jennifer does a great job of starting with basics and building from there. Even though I wasn't brand new to my Cricut, there were many tips and lessons in the beginning of the course that were very helpful. It was well worth it!" — Jan Kimbler

"Cricut College was the best follow-up to Cricut Kickoff! I got a Cricut a year ago with the intention to make templates for greeting cards. Cricut College taught me new skills in every session, and I learned to make so much more than I knew was possible. Shadowboxes, pop-up cards, tee shirts, wooden plaques, mandalas layered cardstock framed projects, stickers, paper flowers, faux leather key tags ... you get the idea. Learn at your own pace, but I took Jennifer's advice and did one project each week." — Debbi Ricci

"Even though I’ve been a Cricut owner for a year now, I learned so many valuable lessons! What materials I can cut on my Cricut; how to setup pressures, mats, etc., that I use so I don’t have to do it each time. And on and on!" — Fay EstherI

"I signed up for Cricut College a couple of years ago. I love that I can go back to it at anytime. I have taken many of Jennifer Maker courses and I love each one. Jennifer and her Team are amazing! She has a wonderful teaching style. She makes it so easy to accomplish the projects. Your questions will always be answered and you will learn so much! The course is so informative! — Carol Mathewson

"I recommend this course to anyone who wants to spend more time creating and less time figuring out how to use all of the functions of Design Space. The best part is that you are making projects as you learn, so none of your time is wasted." — Pamela Brunson

"Taking this course was well worth the time and money. Jennifer explains how to use everything with the Cricut, Design Space and the different types of materials. She has taken the time and attention to explain how to use these with any device you may have! I have used what I have learned from these courses and applied it to the many projects I have made." — Diane Mary
