Cricut Gift Baked Goods Tags

1 Comment

Fall is in the air. I can feel the nights getting cooler. The sky is getting darker earlier. The clouds are getting more billow-y (is that a word). Fall also makes me want to bake. I used our garden fresh Zuchinni and made a few loaves of Zuchinni Bread. I wanted to share some of this cinnamon, zuchinni heaven with Doug’s mom, so of course, I had to wrap it up cute! We are crafters, right? That’s what we do.

Thankfully, the Cricut Maker makes it’s so easy to create the perfect tag with Print then Cut. If you haven’t tried Print then Cut, you should! The possiblilities are limitless with this powerful tool.

I am giving you the tag SVG files so that you can spread the baked good love with your friends and family, too. Simply click the image above. Once you have the file, join me in the step by step tutorial below!

Rosette Tree-1-4

Oh, Christmas Tree!  Why do you have to be so stinkin’ cute?  Ha!  I just love making these table top Christmas Trees from cardstock with the Cricut!  You can make this with the Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker.  All you need is the Cricut Design Space File which you can get here.

If you don’t have a Cricut yet… (you seriously need one), but you can create this by hand cutting the following rectangles and scoring each every 1/2″ down the length of each rectangle, then follow the tutorial.

You’ll need 2 strips each:

Scrapbooking Evie….

1 Comment

This is a long overdue scrapbook layout. Evie Layout-1

That, my friends, is Miss Evie!  My darling, sweet grand daughter.  She will be two in August and I just haven’t stayed on top of her scrapbooks.

Evie Layout-2

I’m not sure why.  I really enjoy the peaceful process of scrapbooking.   I started my papercraft journey by scrapbooking.

Evie Layout-6

A good friend, Jodie, sent me a scrapbooked birthday card many years ago, and I thought it was the most coolest thing, ever!  I started scraping that same week.

Evie Layout-7

Paper crafting has always been my “go to” fun place.   I love the texture and layers and papers.  Heck, I even love the different adhesives, cutters, scissors and ephemera.  I am an office supply junkie.

Evie Layout-8

Do you ever circle back to a craft that you used do to and wonder why it’s been so long since you’ve endulged?  Leave me a comment and let me know what crafts you would love to get back into.   I hope this is the first of many more layouts to come.

P.S. I used my Cricut Maker to cut all of the background pieces.

Have you celebrated the Maker in YOU?  There is a Maker inside each and every one of us, and I think it’s time we applaud our everyday creative selves!

Maker Hoop-6

It just so happens, I made this maker project with my Cricut Maker!  How Cool is that!?!!?

It’s crazy easy and a really fun addition to your craft area.  I made another one for Evie’s bedroom with her name on it.

Maker Hoop-5

I mean.. hello???  You can make this in any color scheme, any word, any occasion and it just adds that little bit of homemade magic to any room.  I used HeatnBond Fusible Adhestive to add the letters that I cut out with the Cricut Maker.  The Cricut Easy press made applying it super easy!  Did you know Cricut now has fabric with the Fusible product already on it?  They Do!  You can find it here!

This is a super easy project!  You can view this video to find out how to make the letters and this video to find out how to make the flowers.

Fabric Buttons & Zipper Pulls w/Cricut & Button Maker

2 Comments

Hello!  I am back with another DIY tutorial for you!  This time, we are making buttons and zipper pulls!

zipper pull-2

I used my Cricut and my Button Maker to make them.  I think they turned out so super cute!

zipper pull-1

If you’ve followed my Youtube Channel for long, you will know that a couple of years ago I went a little nutzo making button flare (you can see the tutorial here).  What I didn’t know then, that I figured out now is that not only can you use paper, but you can use fabric!!!

zipper pull-5

I cannot even tell you how happy this makes me!  Coordinating Zipper Pulls and Buttons for my handmade creations is absolutely the icing on the cake and really provides the perfect finishing touch!

zipper pull-6

Quilt3-1

I mean… c’mon now.. is that not the cutest!  How about adding a fabric button to the center of a flower, on a headband, on a purse or bag, zipper pulls on the kids backpacks and jackets!!?!   Hello!  I am over the moon excited!

zipper pull-9

so… .you want to know how to make these cutie patooties?  Here you go!

Cricut Knife Blade & Cricut Chipboard – Gratitude Home Decor

Leave a comment

Gratitude1

Have you tried the new Cricut Chipboard?  It works with the New Cricut Knife Blade in the Cricut Maker.  This is super thick (2MM) chipboard!  I mean, it’s really thick!  I used it to cut out the circle and the gratitude in the frame above.  Then I simply painted it!

gratitude2

A word of warning.  It’s not fast to cut out on the Maker.  It took 2 full hours to cut the two pieces out, but, it’s totally worth the Wow factor!  It gives you the look of wood.  It is very sturdy.  It’s sturdy enough that it’s even able to support the wired on greenery I added to the inside frame.

Gratitude3

I simply cannot wait to create more home decor pieces!  If you have the Maker, you are going to want this knife blade!  It is AMAZING!  The Chipboard is also a must have, in my opinion!

Hello Heidi Swapp – Hawthorne

Leave a comment

I finally received my Heidi Swapp Hawthorne Collection, and wow!  What a gorgeous collection.   Heidi always manages to keep her signature style, all the while making each collection unique and fresh.

 

How does she pack all this beauty into one collection?

Papers, stickers, ephemera, gold and silver flakes, stamps and oh did I mention a lot of the collection can also be used with the Minc and foiled?

I couldn’t wait to start putting some of this yumminess together.

A simple layered tag cluster makes quite the statement for an elegant package.

 

Even in black and white it makes quite the statement!

 

Have you tried Hawthorne by Heidi Swapp?  What are you making?

 

Leave me a comment and tell me your favorite part of this collection.

Buttons & Bows Loaded Envelopes with the Cricut Explore/Cricut Maker (Free SVG included)

Buttons & Bows LE (1 of 13)

Buttons & Bows.  Is there a better combination?  I am not sure, but I do know that I love me some buttons and bows!

Buttons & Bows LE (3 of 13)

Sometimes when I don’t know what to make, but I really want to play with all of the pretty ephemera and papers that I have – I will make a loaded envelope.  It’s filled with so much yummy real estate.

Buttons & Bows LE (4 of 13)

Places to tuck a button here, and button there, throw in a little bow and before you know it…
Buttons & Bows LE (8 of 13)

You have a little pocked filled with heaven.  How cute is this to sit on a shelf, or send to a friend?

 

There is lots of room to send a note, a little gift or just fill it with pretties.

 

Most of the ephemera and the envelope itself was cut with my Cricut Explore.  You can watch a print then cut tutorial here (to make the ephemera) and pick up the SVG and find out how to make the Loaded Envelope itself here.

 

 

 

 

But wait, what about the other side?

And just like that, you have another look to Buttons and Bows.

Want to see a close up and see what’s inside?  I thought maybe you would.  Here’s a video

Thanks for stopping by!
