Morning! Paper crafting is a truly rewarding, and relaxing thing for me to do, do you feel the same about it? I know just how popular it is - not only because it is so accessible, but it is also super forgiving, versatile and fun! I just love how I can transform a flat pretty piece of paper, into something completely different. I had a lot ot fun designing this project for you in the Paper Crafting Retreat - I actually designed it based on a handbag I had when I was younger that I still love...

Morning! I am looking so forward to the Paper Crafting Retreat 2026 soon, and I’ve been looking through the projects again trying to decide which ones I would actually make first. This is always my biggest problem (and one im happy to have tbh haha 😅) I start off thinking, “Oh, I’ll just watch the couple that interest me.” Then I see someone using a technique I haven’t tried before… or a project that makes me think, “WAIT. I never thought to use my Cricut to make THA!T?!” And suddenly my nice...

Morning! I feel like we are at the point in the year where things are starting to feel a little.... undone. Or at least it is for me. The season is turning, we are past our mid-year check-in, and other seasons are looming ahead, starting to demand our attention. I am starting to feel a little frayed at the edges, and trying to look at things around me that have maybe been slipping over the last few months, and that may not be working for me right now. I need to find my ducks first, never mind...

Morning! As much as I would love crafting to solve every problem in my life... apparently I can't Cricut my way out of everything 🤣 Who would have thought?! I mean I can make labels; create planners; I can even organise my craft supplies. But the washing still needs to be put away, dinner still needs to magically appear every evening, cupboards somehow get messy again, and the little piles of "I'll deal with that later" seem to reproduce when I'm not looking 😅 And I think that's why I'm so...

Morning! If you are a paper crafter, then you are probably in the same or similar boat to me - I have a LOT of cardstock. Plain, printed, textured, and scrap... I don't discriminate haha. But most of it is unused and in full sheets. Some of it I bought for a specific project, some because I loved the colour, and some apparently because I thought it deserved a safe, peaceful life on a shelf where no blade would ever touch it 😅 Please tell me I’m not the only one who has paper that I always...

Morning! I know most of you are familiar with my craft room background, at how organised it (usually) is... but here is a little secret:I am MUCH better at organising craft supplies than I am at organising certain other parts of my house 😅 Give me printable materials, vinyl, cardstock, tools, or digital files, and I can usually come up with some kind of system. But somehow the supplies I'm currently using still end up scattered across my desk. The scraps I swear I'm going to use again start...

Morning! One of the things I love most about learning a new Cricut skill isn't just the project itself. It's all the other projects that suddenly become possible afterwards - you know, the world is thine sticker canvas! That's exactly why I'm so excited about Sticker Week. In only five days, you'll learn how to design, print, and cut your own stickers! And this is a skill that you'll be able to use over and over again, long after the event is finished. I often think about all the sticker...
