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!

10 tips and tricks to know before starting your first Cricut project

April 24, 2019

I’ve had a Cricut machine for a few years now (and I love it!!), but I often get questions from people trying to navigate their Cricut machine for the first time.

I honestly feel like I am still learning new tips and tricks all the time myself, so I thought I would take the time to write a blog post around some of the common questions I get asked and some of the things I’ve learned along the way through trial and error. (A lot of error!)

For this post, I thought it would be best to start off simple with some tips and tricks that will make navigating your machine for the first time a little easier. If you like this post let me know if you’d like to see more Circut tips, maybe even posts dedicated to specific materials.

Anyways, let’s get to it!

DIY socks with sayings with the Cricut Maker and EasyPress 2

March 31, 2019

As I’m sure you all know by now, I’m a pretty simple woman when it comes to how I like to spend my weekends.

Give me some junk food, (I’m a total snacker, I go nuts without having chips, nachos or popcorn in the house), cozy socks and let me binge watch some TV series or movies and I’m a happy girl!

While I love a lot of the new Netflix originals (Umbrella Academy, Santa Clarita Diet, and Sabrina are some of my current favourites) and I’m also a huge fan of AMC (Walking Dead anyone?), nothing will ever compare to the good old classic, Friends, am I right? I actually can’t go a single day without watching at least one episode! My DVD boxset has even started to wear out from being played so much.

When you throw a girls craft day on top of PJs, food and Netflix and I’m over the moon!
