What’s all the buzz about? Exploring the Cricut Explore Air!

January 31, 2017

If you follow me on social media, you’re probably well familiar with my Cricut obsession by now and you may have seen some of my past DIYs with my Cricut. Surprisingly enough, I still get asked a lot of questions about the machine whenever I post about it. I get asked everything from “how easy is it to use”, “what types of projects can you make with it” and even “what the heck is a Cricut”. In light of this, I thought I would take some time to start fresh and really introduce you to the machine by going over all the basics in a post.

So, first things first: what the heck is a Cricut ?!

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. The possibilities are seriously endless when it comes to Cricuts. They are writing, scoring and personal cutting machines! They can cut paper, vinyl, adhesive foil, craft foam, iron-on transfers, faux leather, window cling and so much more. Basically, they are superheros.

Handmade Holiday: DIY Holiday PJs + FREE Cricut Cut Files

December 18, 2016

What would the Holidays be without some new PJs?! For today’s festive DIY, I’m going to show you how to create your very own Holiday PJs for the whole family.

Do you ever wonder who started the Holiday tradition of getting new PJs though? I feel like so many people I know have this tradition in their family, (mind included) and sometimes I just wonder where it all started. I tried to Google it because I was curious, but I couldn’t find anything.

Handmade Holiday: DIY Cricut Gift Tags + FREE Cut Files

December 11, 2016

I honestly don’t know how I survived life before having a Cricut. Seriously, it has made my life so much easier in so many ways, especially this holiday season.

Is anyone else super obsessive when it comes to picking your wrapping paper for the year, or is it just me? I think its the designer in me… but I just love it when all the wrapped presents work together visually. Anyways, each year, I pick a different theme. This year’s theme was silver, gold and natural (or kraft paper). Sometimes finding gift tags that match my theme is really tricky, and usually when I do find them they are crazy expensive. So this year I decided to make my own cute gift tags using my Cricut – and I’m never going back!

Handmade Holiday: DIY ornaments with Cricut (FREE cut files + a giveaway!)

November 21, 2016

It’s official: I’m in full-blown Christmas mode… seriously I’m so ready for the holiday season! Holiday window displays are starting to pop up all around town, Starbucks’ holiday menu is here, this weekend it was the Toronto Santa Claus Parade and we also had our very first snowfall. Everything has me inspired to start getting my holiday crafting on and I’ve decided to bring back my DIY series “Handmade Holiday” for this year’s holiday season! Today, we’re going to be making some super simple ornaments using the Cricut Explore Air.

You may remember a while back when I wrote about my new Cricut. Since then, I’ve used it to make all sorts of things. (It even ended up playing a crucial role in creating my Halloween costume this year.) It’s safe to say that I’ve fallen in love with this little guy and everything the Cricut can do – and how incredibly easy it is to use!
