The new Cricut Stencil Vinyl is "smart". What does that mean? You can cut this vinyl for stencils with your Maker 3 or Explore 3 without a mat. But wait! I have a product for those of you with the Explore Air 2 or original Maker as well. Cricut released a new stencil vinyl for those as well and we are putting it to the test! Will it work? Should you use this for all of your Cricut stencil projects? Watch to find out!
