You can check the product details of this smart vinyl variant.

How do you cut smart vinyl?

Since you are just starting with crafting and don’t have your own cutting machine yet, you may use your hand!

If you don’t have an electronic cutting machine to do your craft projects, you may cut a smart vinyl using any machine cutter like how you usually cut vinyl as if it is still on the mat.

What is so special about smart vinyl?

When we compare smart vinyl to regular vinyl, we will surely have lots to note. Let’s look at the reasons that make smart vinyl the favorite of every crafter.

Smart vinyl can be as wide as 13 inches, while regular vinyl is only 12:

Smart vinyl can be as wide as 13 inches, and regular types of vinyl are 12 inches.  So, when you are doing your personalized projects, there will be a problem with the size of your smart vinyl compared to the older models of cutting machines when you think of maximizing its size.

Smart vinyl is lighter:

Smart types of vinyl are lighter than regular types of vinyl.  Some materials like card stock paper are medium-weight and won’t give you a hard time gluing because they have an adhesive back.

Smart vinyl minimum size:

Smart vinyl must be at least 4 inches in length to feed through the machine, even without a mat.  

So, use a cutting mat if scraps are shorter than that. Remember that Cricut machines like Joy allow 1 inch of allowance of material directly at the top and 0.5 inches of fabric at the bottom.

You may make repeated cuts to fill a more extended space of material, but the maximum design length you can cut using a 4-inch piece of smart material is 2.5 inches.

You have to adjust the project copies in Cricut Design Space or select “Make again” as many times as needed in the machine.

There are vast designs and colors to choose from:

Your innermost creative side will be ignited just by looking at the vast choices of colored types of vinyl available in the market. Then, you will have to trust your creativity using smart materials.

You may choose from basic colors, holographic vinyl, and other fun-patterned vinyls. 

Basic patterns:

Use patterned vinyl to add patterns to home decor and other craft projects.

• Florals.
• Plaids.
• Stripes.

Specialty pattern:

Use specialty vinyl for fun textures and use:

• Glitters on vinyl.
• Stencil vinyl.
• Outdoor glossy.

Smart vinyl doesn’t need a cutting mat:

Smart materials are ready to be loaded onto a Cricut Joy without a cutting mat. Wait for the machine to tell you when it’s time to load your smart materials. The software will prompt you when it’s time to load your smart vinyl and tell you how much of it you’ll need.    

When you use a Cricut machine, and your vinyl is larger than what you need, you won’t need a mat anymore, for you may cut smart materials from the roll.  You’ll need the roll holder to use it and not worry about cutting smart materials.

Smart vinyl will help unleash your creativity:

Since smart vinyl is larger than regular types of vinyl, your designs are not confined to the size of the material. You can then think big! Literally!
