Today’s Mama has teamed up once again with Provo Craft to bring Cricut Crazies another Cricut Ticket campaign! The grand prize this time is $100k and a 7 day cruise, and you win by finding a golden Cricut ticket in 4 of the newest cartridges (Freshly Picked, Mini Monsters, Cindy Loo, and Wall Decor and [...]
Last week I made some cards for the 4 graduating girls who go to my church. To get some ideas, I flipped through my online subscription of Cards magazine from Northridge Media – I love how you can bookmark your favorite pages and make notes and how I don’t have to store all the actual [...]
I have been on a real card making kick lately, and I’ve decided I love doing series with the same color combos and variations on basically the same design. I can get lots done fast this way and have fewer scraps left over when I’m finished. For these cards I mostly used my Cricut and [...]
It occurs to me that I love magnets and I have a lot of them. Particularly on my magnet calendar. And they’re so easy to make. So if you’ve never done it, don’t be afraid. It’s easy. I use my Cricut to cut the basic magnet shape out, but you can trace basic shapes onto [...]
My embroidery hoop designs were the main part of the wall decor in my boys’ rooms, and this is what I’ve come up with for the other areas. Some vinyl African safari animals to match the elephants in Gus’s room. And some pictures to help our family remember who we are and what we believe. [...]
I redid Elliot’s rocket ship wall decor to something that fit the existing color scheme a little better and with more designs to fill up the space. I used the Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge to cut the patterns out and then appliqued them with fabric and put them in embroidery hoops – my favorite [...]
These appliqued dish towels were my neighbor gifts this Christmas, and they were even easier than the bath towel! I chose patterns that had more angles than curves so the edge stitching would be easier. (The flower and leave patterns are from Walk in My Garden and the bird is from Home Decor.) The process [...]
Christmas is definitely not the only time we need great handmade gift ideas, and an appliqued bath towel is so easy and inexpensive to make and would make a great birthday, baby shower, or just because gift. I made this for my nephew, and it’s probably my all time favorite things I’ve ever made, mostly [...]
My boys are getting matching superhero ponchos for Christmas! I’ve finished Gus’s poncho, and it looks like he’s getting ready to fly and save the day! Getting the size right was tricky – I measured Gus from fingertip to fingertip across his shoulders and got 23″. I cut the square bigger than that because from [...]
I just finished this fabulous calendar using the Designer’s Calendar Cricut cartridge (that I got on Black Friday!), and I’m thinking a customizeable calendar is a pretty great gift idea for this Christmas! I bought a large white board at Walmart ($15), wrapped the edges in black electrical tape, and drew a calendar grid in [...]
