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!

DIY laundry bag with the Cricut Maker and the EasyPress 2

I’m back with another Cricut DIY! This time using my brand new Cricut Maker machine! When I got my new machine, I also received the EasyPress 2, so naturally the first DIY with my new machine had to be an iron-on craft so I could try out the EasyPress.

If you are reading this and have no idea what a Cricut machine is, I would encourage you to go and check out my last post for to learn all about what these machines can do. (Coles note’s version: it’s a personal cutting machine that can cut a wide-range of materials.)

Let me start off by saying I love the EasyPress.

“Getting Crafty” with Cricut + a coupon code!

September 18, 2016

I am so, so, SO excited about my new toy! I finally have my very own Cricut, after coveting for one for almost a year. If you are a DIY lover like me and haven’t heard of their products before you seriously need to look them up.

Basically, Cricut machines can cut anything. Their machines make it super easy to create any DIY project you can dream of, and they can work with or without a computer. You can cut so many different materials with them: vinyl, paper, fabric, card stock, leather, WOOD and so much more. You can also use pens to create perfect shapes. The possibilities are really endless with this one!
