Die cutting machines (those nifty things you that allow you to cut through vinyl like butter) are becoming more and more popular. 

Today I am going to cover cutting with one of the top two - the Cricut Explore Air.  It's easy to get (most Walmart stores carry them) and is more flexible since the addition of Cricut Design Space.  It allows you to purchase designs like mine and open them on your machine - leaving you limitless in possibilities.

So you finally have your hands on your first Silhouette machine.  Congratulations!

You've probably been eyeing files for a while and now that you've purchased your first one, what do you do?
