Paper flowers of all kinds are so popular in the crafting world. They can be made from tissue paper, book pages, or card stock. When I first started making cards, the only way to make all of the beautiful blooms was to trace patterns and cut them by hand. With the introduction of cutting machines like the Cricut, making all of these flowers is quicker and easier. Here’s a tutorial for making Cricut Roses to use in all of your crafting projects.

I’m having one of those weeks…well one of those months actually. My 17 year old dishwasher and washing machine are on their last leg, the dryer sounded like a machine gun, and we have a bath tub leaking between the walls. To top it all off, my husband and I are in the process of ordering new windows and doors for the entire house. Cha-ching!
The sayings on this pouch and mug are perfect for me right now.

It’s no secret that I love glitter. Everything is better with a little glitter thrown on it, right? When I received a T-shirt and glitter heat transfer vinyl from Happy Crafters, I knew that I wanted to make a shirt to reflect my affection for glitter.

I’ve been using adhesive vinyl for over two years, but I remember when I first got my Cricut Explore. I was so confused about what Vinyl Transfer Tape is and how to use it. I’m going to show you my favorite transfer tape by Expressions Vinyl.

When I was little, my Mom always bought me paper dolls. She said they were one of her favorite toys when she was growing up. Fast forward to 2018, and we can make felt dolls with the Cricut Maker.
No more tracing patterns onto felt and cutting them out with scissors that I don’t want to cooperate.

I needed a little bling for my dining room table during Christmas. I had just opened my Cricut Maker Machine, and a roll of silver glitter iron on. Oh my gosh I love silver glitter! I really put the Maker to the test with these intricate snowflakes. It cut all of the details on these DIY Christmas Napkins flawlessly.
I started by searching for snowflakes in Cricut Design Space. There are tons to choose from. Some of the ones that I really liked had a lot of detail, but I thought I’d see if the Maker was up for the challenge. It was! Look at the tiny slits in the snowflake below.
Some of the snowflakes that I chose had more than one layer. I used the ungroup feature in Cricut Design Space to separate the layers and delete the ones that I didn’t need.
I prewashed the table napkins, because I knew they would shrink. The silver glitter ironed on nicely. After finishing them, I had all kinds of ideas for color combinations for napkin, place mats, and tablecloths.
Here are a few more projects that I made with the Cricut Maker.
