The workshops are pre-recorded, so we can offer them for 24 hours and allow folks from all different time zones to view them! If you need support, you can join the FB group or reach out to our speakers personally by following them on their blogs.

Do I have to have a cutting machine to enjoy the event? Expand

This event is tailored to help Cricut owners master their machines.

We recommend either owning a Cricut (Cricut Explore Air 2, Explore 3, Explore 4, Maker, Maker 3, Maker 4, Venture, or Cricut Joy/Joy Xtra) or being interested in purchasing one.

Some workshops do not require a cutting machine, and several workshops can be completed on other brands of machines, such as Silhouette or Juliet. 

What cutting machines do you cover? Expand

The event features all the current Cricut machine models - Cricut Explore Air 2, Explore 3, Explore 4, Maker, Maker 3, Maker 4, Venture and the Cricut Joy/Joy Xtra machines. The beauty of the event is that nearly all the craft workshops will work seamlessly with the various Cricut models, with a couple of exceptions.

The Cricut Joy/Joy Xtra machines face a few size limitations for certain crafts, but several workshops can be completed on these machines

Silhouette, Juliette, and Other Cutting Machines

Several workshops can be completed on these machines in addition to the Cricut models.

How long is each workshop? Expand

Typically, each workshop is about 20-30 minutes in length. Our speakers will cover the project setup and the assembly process. Our amazing presenters have generously provided templates for their crafts, which will be cost-free for each workshop's free 24-hour viewing period.

Does the VIP Access Pass mean I get every course Abbi ever made? Expand

No, the VIP Access Pass refers to accessing all Cricut Craftfest materials only. Abbi Kirsten's other products, courses, and access to previous events are sold separately. To clarify everything you will receive in the 2026 Cricut Craftfest VIP Pass...

Here is a recap:

  • Instant on-demand access
  • 40+ workshop videos by our summit speakers
  • Workshop templates
  • Printable guides for each project
  • Printable supply lists
  • $613 worth of speaker bonuses
  • Lifetime access (you will never lose access to the workshops)

 

How do I make sure I don't miss the workshop while it's free? Expand

Each day of the event, an email with the workshop links will arrive in your inbox, so you can click over and watch your craft workshops. Please sign up for your free ticket to ensure you don't miss anything. Once you do, check your inbox and whitelist Abbi's email hello@abbikirstencollections.com by adding it to your email contacts, which ensures it will arrive in your primary inbox.

You can also get forever access with the VIP Pass and start watching early!

I missed my workshop? How can I watch it? Expand

Just like with an in-person event, once the workshop has expired, we cannot reopen it, BUT you can purchase the VIP Access Pass and get access to all of the presentations, templates, bonuses, printable worksheets, supply lists, and more. The VIP Access Pass gives you lifetime access to watch and enjoy at your convenience!

Do I have to log into the daily workshops if I purchase the VIP Access Pass? Expand

Nope! You instantly have access to all the videos when you purchase the VIP Access Pass, and there is nothing different in the information shared in your pass versus the daily workshops.

In fact, if you own the VIP Access Pass, you get dozens of exclusive bonuses! That being said, we still encourage you to participate and enjoy all the creative energy!

How do I slow a video down? Expand

We all process things differently when trying to learn something new, and I strongly recommend watching the workshop through once before trying a craft. Then when you are ready, start your craft while following the video; use the pause button to stop it when you need a moment to catch up or rewind the video to process the info again.
