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!

DIY laundry bag with the Cricut Maker and the EasyPress 2

November 27, 2018

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.

DIY Personalized Notebooks with the Cricut Explore Air

June 4, 2017

I’m back again with another super easy DIY using my Cricut Explore Air. (It was only a matter of time!) I’ve had my Cricut for about 9 months now, and it’s safe to say that I’m still as obsessed with it as I was on day one.

I’m sure most of you are familiar with my machine by now, but just in case you’re not I’ll catch you up…

Cricut machines are personal cutting machines! They can write, score and cut a variety of materials such as vinyl, paper, faux leather, adhesive foil, iron-on and so much more. They come fully equipped with access to a web-based program called the Cricut Design Space that houses fonts and over 800 projects and 50,000 images for you to use to create projects out of. If you are design savvy, you can also create your own graphics and upload them.

Now that we have all the basics covered, let’s get to today’s DIY!
