Easy DIY customized shoes with the Cricut Maker and the new Easy Press Mini

October 6, 2019

Cricut’s iron-on material has always been my favourite material to work with and I love my 9×9 EasyPress, but sometimes it is a little too large for those small designs and tough to reach spaces. Cue the EasyPress Mini, which was created with that in mind!

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know just how excited I was when I found out that Cricut was releasing a mini EasyPress. The plate itself is just under 3.5″ x 2″. It’s great for when you’re working with tight spaces, over curves and to avoid seams.

It has three different temperature levels and the highest setting will work with Cricut’s Infusibile Ink (another one of my favourite materials to work with). Just like the other EasyPresses, the heat is even across the entire plate and it has an auto-off feature.

Meet the new Cricut Maker Tools: debossing, engraving, perforation and wavy blade

September 18, 2019

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, one of my favourite things about the Cricut Maker is how versatile it is – and just when I thought it couldn’t get any better they go ahead and release 4 new maker tools to take your DIYs to the next level!

I was so excited when I first heard about the new tools for the Maker machine. Between its ability to cut fabric and thicker materials like chipboard, leather and balsa wood the Maker already was the ultimate personal cutting machine.

The addition of the new tools open up a whole whack-load of new projects and materials, so I thought I would take some time to walk you through each of them and what they can do and show you some examples. The new tools are the debossing tip, perforation tip, wavy blade and the engraving tool.

Testing out Cricut’s NEW Infusible Ink™ – Easy DIY tote bag and coasters

August 7, 2019

If you follow me on Instagram, you might remember that I posted about a brand new product from Cricut in my stories a few months ago. Well, I finally got the chance to test it out and I’m so excited to share the results and two easy DIYs with you!

In case you missed the memo, I’m talking about Cricut’s brand new Infusible Ink™ material!

It comes in two different formats: transfer sheets, which you can use your Cricut Maker to cut out the design like you would with vinyl or iron-on; and as markers. The colours are SO vibrate. It’s similar to the iron-on material in the sense that it is heat activated, but has a few different key features.

Easy DIY personalized bento box and lunch bag – back to school made easy with the Cricut Maker!

July 30, 2019

Believe it or not, but back to school is just around the corner! (Especially for all of my American friends.) Even though I’m technically no longer a student, the back to school season still is one of my favourite times of the year.

From the fall fashions, to the cute pens, stationary, (am I the only person in 2019 who still loves writing in an actual notebook?!) and agendas – I love it all! Maybe it’s because I’m still heavily involved in the education industry since I work at a post-secondary institution, but it always feels like a fresh start, even more so than new years does to me.

In the spirit of the back to school season approaching, I thought I would show you a how to create personalized back to school supplies by sharing a quick and easy DIY using my Cricut Maker!
