I'm brand new to pretty much all things DIY/crafting, and got myself a cricut joy machine to try out making stuff, to see if I could get into it.

I've been having issues finding vinyl outside of the cricut site. I've already learned the hard way to avoid Dollar Store and Amazon, but where CAN I find them!? I bought a sample bundle and a few random colors from Cricut, but blew threw it all and have literally nothing to show for it 🤦🏾‍♀️The machine has been sitting I'm the corner of my room for 2 months because I'm out of material and don't really wanna practice with cricut brand material unless I absolutely have to.

I live 150 miles from the nearest US mainland, and I don't know how far from the nearest major craft store. I'm pretty much limited to online shopping.

Ideally, I'd like to try out personalizing tumblers and eventually, if I can master design space, try making stickers, post cards and maybe t-shirts. But first, baby steps.

Please & thanks for any recommendations. And sorry if this is an over asked question 😁
