September 17, 2010 Cricut Joy's Life "How To" Videos

Video: How to Paint a Cricut

I had fun doing something a little crazy…painting my white Cricut Expression purple!
I hope you have a good time watching the transformation. ๐Ÿ˜€

This machine has long been out of its warranty, so that was not a concern for me. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Here’s a link to the videos showing me turn this into a Cricut “Fake” Cake!

Tomorrow I’ll be participating in a blog hop!ย  So be sure to come back and see what’s going on! ๐Ÿ˜€

    I knew it! When I saw the de-gunking video I knew you had to be painting it! Ive been waiting for you to do this before I tried it! Thanks Joy!!
    • superjoy says

      September 17, 2010 at 8:55 AM

      JennaNichole, You know me well! I want to see yours when it's done! :D ~Joy~

    must admit I was a little scared when I saw what you were going to do. Then I thought...hey, this is Super Joy. She'll do it just fine. This was great! Thanks for sharing! Liz

      Mom2gabman, You make me feel like I earned my cape! Thank you! :D ~Joy~

    Joy, Wow, you are brave girlfriend. I am afraid to paint anything and everything. Maybe once my machine is out of warranty I will give it a shot. LOL Great video. Stacy
    • superjoy says

      September 17, 2010 at 8:59 AM

      Lovethatbug, I bet after you paint your first thing...you'll become "Ms. Paint". LOL! ;) Try something like a Dollar Store item first, then it won't matter if you mess up and it will help you become more confident before trying something bigger. ;) ~Joy~

    Joy, you are FEARLESS . . . and that's awesome! Great video! If my Cricut wasn't brand new and already beautifully red, I'd definitely have the gumption to paint it after seeing you do it. I'll bet you were the kid in school who took all the dares. LOL.
    • superjoy says

      September 17, 2010 at 12:15 PM

      Fvanatta, Have you been talking to my past school principals? LOL! Who me? Why, I dare you to dare me to tell! ;) You: "Joy, Truth or Dare did you..." Me interrupting: "DARE!" :D ~Joy~ P.S. There's no way in the world that I'm painting my red Cricut Expression. I heart that thing just like it is!

    OMG JOY!!! You rocked it!!!!! I love love love love it!!!! I will share on FB and think about doing this when my 1 year warranty is up!!!!
    • superjoy says

      September 17, 2010 at 12:10 PM

      Thanks Abby! I can't wait to see what color you paint yours! :D ~Joy~

      OBXdreaming, Another purple friend! :D I just love purple! Thank you for leaving me a comment. I'm glad you're here! ~Joy~
  12. Littlen says

    September 17, 2010 at 6:24 PM

    You are either very brave or just plain crazy Joy. I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to paint my E or my ATG, but you did an awesome job and you certainly brightened my day. However, now that you have all that purple paint what's next?
  13. micmic001 says

    September 17, 2010 at 9:02 PM

    You have given me the courage to paint my Expression, thanks Joy! Now I just have to pick a color...oh my!

    September 18, 2010 at 1:59 AM

    So cute, TFS! My daughter watched it with me and of course her response was 'OOOOOOOOOOOOO - PURPLE!!!' You've inspired me! :) Thanks!

    September 19, 2010 at 2:26 PM

    I've always been too afraid to paint mine, but now that it's out of warranty and I've seen you do it, I may have to give it a try! You don't mind if I do purple too? It's my favorite color as well! TFS this!
    • superjoy says

      September 19, 2010 at 2:38 PM

      Finecrafter, I don't mind at all. :D We'll have twins! :) Have a great time painting! ~Joy~
  24. thescrapdiva2 says

    September 19, 2010 at 3:15 PM

    you are too cute. I love the purple color. I might do that too but I will do the dark purple and then on the ends with the silver I will paint a lighter shade of purple...

    I enjoyed your video but haven't painted one yet. I do love using the Krylon paint too. A suggestion, rather than taping up the inside, use quilt batting (not too thin tho). Also, if you remove the tape within a few hours it should come off easier than letting it set too long. I really like your blog and plan on trying some of your creations.

    I'm too chicken to "try this at home" but it sure is fun watching you do it! Maybe someday I'll paint mine blue but for now I'm using vinyl to make it special. As always thanks for the inspiration!
