5 Reasons why I love Cricut Access

April 15, 2020

With everything that has been going on, I’ve kind of been avoiding social media in my downtime. Instead, I’ve been playing video games, drawing and crafting a whole lot more.

One of my favourite things about crafting with my Cricut machines aside from all the materials you can use is the Cricut Access subscription, which is what I’m going to focus on for today’s post!

What is Cricut Access?

Okay, let’s start with the basics. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, Cricut Access is a subscription-based service through Design Space that gives you access to thousands of resources and Ready-to-Make projects.

Now that we have that out of the way, I’m going to dive into 5 reasons why I love using Cricut Access.

Everything you need to know about Cricut Joy + a DIY hostess gift (wine tote and card)

February 18, 2020

If you follow me on Instagram, you may remember when I went to Salt Lake City in January, posted a few airplane photos and then proceeded to never told you why I was there… and that’s because I was sworn to secrecy by Cricut. I’m so excited to finally be able to share what I got up to while I was there… and it’s HUGE!⁣

Well, technically it’s little.⁣

Meet the new Cricut Joy! It’s tiny, but mighty. We flew out to SLC to learn all about it and take it for a test spin (spoiler alert: it’s awesome) and I’m so happy to finally be able to talk about it.

I’m seriously so excited about this product. Cricut Joy can cut more than 50 materials, including brand new new Smart Materials without a mat, (more on that later) and the regular vinyl, iron-on and paper materials with a mat. It can also write using Cricut Joy pens. (Note: the pens are different from the ones you would use in your Maker/Explore machines.) It’s bluetooth enabled which means less cords. ⁣

If you already have a Cricut machine it’s the perfect companion, and if not it’s great as a stand-alone product for anyone who wants to start dabbling in Cricut made crafts!

What is a Cricut machine, what does it do and is it really worth the price?

December 4, 2019

I know I talk about my Cricut a lot, but honestly that is because I freaking *love* it. It’s also probably the thing I get the most DMs about with questions, and with the holidays quickly approaching I’m sure there’s many of you who are either thinking about asking for one, or purchasing one for someone, so I thought I would write a post to help you make that decision.

(Side note: Anyone else feel like you’re scrambling this year? I swear, December just snuck up on us and I am NOT prepared for the holidays!! Send help.)

Anyways, for this post I’m rounding up some of the most common asked questions about my Cricut Maker. Let’s start with the basics!

5 Things I love about the Cricut Maker + DIY make-up pouch

October 30, 2019

It’s no secret that I love my Cricut machine. If you don’t know what a Cricut machine is, you are seriously missing out. They are writing, scoring and personal cutting machines that work with a wide variety of materials. I’m talking everything from paper, vinyl, adhesive foil, craft foam, iron-on transfers, window cling and more. In the past, I’ve made everything from iron-on shirts and pillows, gift cards, customized wine glasses, decanters, mugs, coasters, party banners and more. The crafting-possibilities really are endless with a Cricut machine. (Basically it’s magic.)

I upgraded to the Cricut Maker about a year ago, and my only regret was not upgrading sooner. I always get a lot of questions on Instagram and from friends, family and colleagues about my Cricut – everything from “which machine do I need if I’m thinking about buying one”, to “what can it make” and “is it really worth upgrading to the Maker”.

With the holidays approaching, I thought I’d share some of my favourite things about the Maker!
