Another favorite of the Cricut Videos is a Tutorial featuring the Mix N’ Match Feature on the Cricut Expression. I really enjoying teaching actual functions and features of the Cricut! I guess that is why Cricut A to Z was such a passion for me! There are so many great things that the Cricut Expression can do, and all the functions and features on the machine and cartridges really can make your crafting so much easier and faster!

There were some really good ideas here, cute layout too!
Thanks for sharing I learned a few new things with my cricut!!
Thanks for showing in detail the different features. Recently found your website. Just got my expresion and gypsy for Christmas and LOVE learning about it. Enjoy all your videos!
A very fun page. I love the pleated ribbon look. Thanks for resharing this video with us.
Nice page. Fun ideas. I too like the pleated ribbon. Bought the Gypsy and Cricut A to Z, haven’t got to the Cricut one yet, but have learned soo much from the Gypsy DVD. I highly recommend them if you want to learn more about your machines. Worth every penny. Now I can’t wait to learn how to use all the buttons you used today. WOW! TFS!
Great tips, but most of all thank you for your inspiration! Happy New Year!
I LOVE the ribbon look! I need to get some Papertrey ribbon it is just beautiful! A perfect page! Thank you!
Wow! What a cute layout. I love your creativty.

Mix & Match – haven’t really utilized that enough – will work on that. I really liked the layout. Thx
Great Layout! Thank you so much for this wonderful inspiration. I am loving all your videos. Watching them for the first time!
I love the folded ribbon :0)
I love your choice of paper and the sentiment meant so much. Great choice, Megan!
Thanks for showing us how to use the mix and match on the expression. I really enjoy your tutorials.
I loved the LO. Do you spend much time deciding how you want to do the page? Or, just jump in and figure it out as you go.
One of my favorite videos you have done. I really like it that you try hard to incorporate some of the less known functions of the Cricut (llike Mix n Match or Fit To Page, or Set Paper size). It helps me a lot…AND the ribbon technique!Love that.
Thanks for everything you do!
Love the ribbon technique-can’t wait to try it out on a card.
this is my favoite video so far. You cover so many different techniques.
I like the pleated ribbon. Very cute page tfs
Thanks for all the good “expression” information. I’ll have to listen again to GET it all. I’m learning some new techniques. The ribbon idea is cute!
I really liked this page and the pleated ribbon look. Thanks for showing how to use the mix & match button. My son got me the Cricut DVD for my birthday, just haven’t had time to watch it yet. I am thinking I need to make time REALLY soon!!!! Thanks for all of your great ideas!!!
Love the pleated ribbon technique and cute layout!
Wish I had those functions on my cricut! Love the pleated ribbon.
Thanks for the tips. Love the layout.
I love this layout. I have a Christmas photo of my grandchildren that will adapt beautifully to this design. Thank you.
I love how you mixed the size and style of the fonts in this layout. I’ve come to the conclusion that I really don’t have a favorite video because each one shows a unique technique(s).
Great project,really nice tutorial.
Love the video! Great techniques
Sarah
fun ideas, now I just need cherry limeade, another cartridge to add to my wish list. Thank you for reposting this video!
THis is a great page! Thanks for explaining the mix and match on the cricut expression.
Very cute layout! You have so many great ideas, thanks for sharing.
Love this one – especially learning the mix and match – and love the ribbon technique – Going to try and use that on some of our thank yous…..
This is my favorite video. I like the idea of mixing the size and style of the fonts. Thank you for all the information you give on your video’s.
I’m so jealous of the fit to page (among other features!) of the Expression…. time to start my Christmas list for 2011 LOL
Beautiful Family! Pinkalicious Hugs, Jonnie
I’m not a scrapper and I don’t have an Expression. Nonetheless, I’m definitely inspired to mix up my fonts, features and sizes for cards! (It will just take a little more effort without a mix/match function key.)
As always this is a very creative idea, love the ribbon and the colors of the paper. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year hope you have a Blessed one!
I love, love, love this layout!!! I watched this when you first posted it and immediately did a similar page for my family! So this is by far my fav…. so far!!
I enjoyed this video.
Thanks for showing how to use Mix and Match. Loved your color choices.
Great Video!!
Like this video. 🙂
Enjoyed the instructions
HI there
Great tip with the pleated ribbon 🙂
Mix and Match wow – I have soooo much to learn
Cheers
Catie
I love the photo you used on this. so cute.. I Have to say over the last few days I have been watching your videos and I Have to say Thank you for the cutting guide. I just got done making a little saying and a cupcake.. I used the cutting guide to set the blade, speed and depth. 🙂 Thank you.. Am making my own storage units for paper and tools for now. So I cut the word Create and the cupcake from home decor. I think I will try this mix and match technique next. Happy crafting
Thank you for reminding us of the Mix and Match feature. It’s a blessing to be able to watch your videos over until it all sinks in! Sandra
Great video! I have had my expression for years and have never tried the mix and match feature. Can’t wait to try it out. Also love the ribbon pleating. Will be trying this technique out as well.
Very cute. I was just using my Cricut last night for the second time and I’m anxious to give little phrases a try with the different sizes. So much to learn. =)
Didn’T know anything about the mix and match button but now I do thanks for the information—Nancy
I’ve never seen anybody us their cricut that way ! You relly know your stuff, thanks for all the information.
Angela
I love how you use colors and patterns that I personally will never use because I could never make it work…LOL Will have to be a 2011 challenge for me 😉
I love the pleating ribbon technique.
Love this layout!!! That’s how I feel about my family too!! We are blessed!!
Like the Mix and Match feature and the pleated ribbon.
This video was very helpful to me. I need to figure out how to put all your paper on sheet Cricut cutting sheet. Still learning!
Happy New Year! Love this video, thank you for sharing. vswaddy620@yahoo.com
I just adore this layout. Thanks for doing a function button technique – my 7yo daughter and I are trying to conn Dad into buying us the Expression for 2011 Christmas and now we have something else to add to why we just have to have one. So thanks heaps and we can’t wait until tomorrow.
Megan you have such a beautiful family! I wish I was as creative as you.
I absolutely forgot about this tutorial. Thanks for the reminder…I never use that button!
Great tips Megan!
Thank you so much for showing the mix and match button!
Thanks so much for showcasing the Mix’n Match feature. i will use it heaps now
I’ve never used the mix and match button…I’ll need to experiment!
Loved the way you used the different size, shape, and colors of the letters!
Hi,
I loved the mix and match tutorial! I’ve never used it since I didn’t know what exactly it did. The ribbon technique was also very tricky, can’t wait to try it.
p.s. the older boy in your photo looks like my son, my husband even said the same thing.
Thanks again.
i always wondered what the mix & match nutton was for. Thanks for sharing,I may just go try the ribbon technique on the page I am working on.
Love your layout. Thanks for sharing this video with us again.
Thank you so much for all of the ideas. I love your page layout.
Ok you lost me on the mix n match. Will have to view this again. Great layout.
Cute layout. I got confused with all the different sizes, but after seeing the page, I understand. I like the pleated ribbon and now I know how its done. Thanks so much
Great instruction on the mix & match. I have made the first letter large and the rest small, but now I won’t have to go through as many hoops.
Love the page also.
it is a great review. thanks
Great layout. Now I can use my mix n match! Yeah
Love the mix and match feature! Just ordered my expression and am anxiously awaiting it’s arrival on my doorstep! Thanks so much for all the great ideas!
I learned something new–I just got an expression and hadn’t played with it much yet–now I know about the mix and match feature, how cool is that! Guess I will soon be investing in the cricut a-z–need to know all the awesome stuff.
Thanks again!
I am really enjoying the cricut tutorials. Some great ideas
I didn’t know how the mix and match feature worked, but now that I do, I can’t wait to try it out!
This is one of my favs. Thanks for sharing it again.
Thanks for the refresher on how to use the neat functions on the Cricut. I need to remember that there are extra buttons for a creative reason:) Love the pleated ribbon along the top.
You are definitely a Cricut expert. Your videos are always a source of inspiration. Way to go!
I love how you put all the different papers on the mat at the same time. I never thought to do that but it looks like it saves a lot of time!
Thanks for repeating this one, I had forgotten about the Mix and Match. Great tip and gret page.

Just recently found your site and it will be great since a made it my goal to learn about my Cricut in 2011. I like the Mix-n Match feature from today.
I loved the way you pleated the ribbon, it looks so easy when you do it!

I learned something new about my Expression day! Thanks. I love your videos!
oh goodness I have so much to learn!
My husband thinks I’m funny holding on to my scraps–this is exactly why I do. Gotta love the feelings behind the creation of this page. I love my family, and kn0w exactly what you mean about coming home to them.
I must admit I didn’t know what Mix and Match was for until I watched this video.
Thanks for showing Mix and Match.
love the pleated ribbon.
What a great page. I love the pleated ribbon accent and the different letter sizes and colors. I would never have thought to do that.
I received my Cricut and gypsy as a present, I hurried up and bought both of your DVDs, you are a lifesaver!! I have learned so much from all of your videos! I can’t wait to see what is next!
Very cute and fun layout! I love how you did your ribbon on the top of the page.
Thanks for sharing with us.
I’ve never used “Mix and Match”…. didn’t know what it was for. I’ll use it now! TFS
I don’t even think the Imagine has a mix and match function like that, but I’m sure it has something comparable. I am learning so much today! Trying to catch up and be ready for tonight! Cute pleated ribbon, too!
The video was really helpful. I am a new Expression owner. So much easier to understand how things work when you can see it. Thanks
I love this sentiment, beautiful family, great idea to mix and match, Im learning lots from you, thank you.
Wonderful layout! I love how you did your ribbon. I will have to try this one! Super cute. TFS

Thanks for sharing this with us. It was a good reminder for me. I rarely use this function anymore since I have my Gypsy.
Way Cute!!!
I find it so funny that it takes someone else to make you think outside the box, I have done the ribbon like that on a card never thought about on scrapbook pages.
Great tutorial, the mix and max comes in handy when cutting many different peices.
I’m not ready for mix and match yet, but looks like fun when I get more used to the cricut.
I must admit, I’m a little intimidated by the mix ‘n match feature, but thanks to your video, I will try it out!
I don’t have an Expression but I want one now (as if I didn’t want one before). This looks amazing – love that layout too!
Cute layout, and the kids look so cute in the picture.
This has been fun – learning the functions of my E.
when i first got my cricut, your was the place to learn. Lots of great info. thanks
Thanks for sharing this video. I’ve never used the mix n match button before, that is until now. LOL!
I didn’t know how to use MixnMatch so a big thankyou once again…..cheers CP
Didn’t know that function existed…just have the smaller cricut. Hope I can get an expression soon. Thanks for the info.
Cool needed refresher!
I am loving the twelve day countdown thanks so much
Nice layout
layout idea nice!!! Iam just beginning.
I am now inspired to use mix & match. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks for the refresher on using the mix-n-match function on the expression….it is such a great feature of this machine!
Your videos are always so helpful!
Always love new examples how much the expression machine can do, and I only use a small percentage of what the machine can do. This really helps to expand my knowledge of the machine. Thanks.
Learned alot from this video. Thank you! Cute layout.
Megan, I’m a newbie and look forward to using some of your ideas….thank you!!!
Megan I am new to your website. I just love the instructional videos.
makes me appreciate my Gypsy even more!
