    Cricut made personalised dog gifts

    December 19, 2019 - By 

    My sister recently adopted a very sweet dog and I couldn’t wait to make him something special for Christmas. Obviously I wanted to use my Cricut Maker so had a good look on Pinterest for Cricut dog ideas. I decided to make him a stocking filled with treats and really enjoyed putting everything together. Cricut made personalised dog gifts I made two Cricut dog projects, I personalised a DIY dog bib and the stocking too. As I was short of time I used a ready made stocking and bib but these would both have been easy to make from scratch.…

    Easy Cricut made personalised chocolate wrappers

    December 18, 2019 - By 

    I love using my Cricut Maker and Christmas is the perfect time to use it and make some extra special handmade gifts. I’ve made some fun things this year including Advent calendars, a wooden Christmas countdown, name tags for Christmas Day and a bib for my sister’s dog! There are so many more things I would love to make if I had the time! Cadbury have joined with Age UK to fight loneliness I’ve already spoiled my children this year but I couldn’t resist adding one more thing to their stockings, limited edition Cadbury chocolate bars which I spotted in…

    Our Mindful advent candle kit

    November 15, 2019 - By 

    I love celebrating Advent. This year I wanted to try and keep it simple as it’s such a busy time of year, especially with two children at school. I’ve made the children their own advent calendars which hopefully I’ll be able to re-use year after year. Although I usually treat myself to an advent calendar this year I wanted something a little different. I find most advent calendars really wasteful, full of things I don’t really need (yes M&S Advent calendar, I’m talking about you!). I’m usually out of the door at half past 7 so I have little time…

    Monday Happy List {Week 265}

    November 11, 2019 - By 

    I love to start the week by writing the Monday Happy List. It’s a chance for me to sit down and reflect on the things that made me happy in the previous week, as well as to record some of our family adventures – it’s a post I always enjoy writing. Monday Happy List {Week 265} After a busy week we decided to have a quiet weekend at home. We actually went to view a house near where we live which I immediately fell in love with, but unfortunately I don’t think the house is practical for our family right now.…

    Cute and easy pumpkin decorations with Cricut

    October 17, 2019 - By 

    We love pumpkins! We have a whole display of them, thanks to our recent pumpkin patch visit. A few years ago we decorated our pumpkins without carving them. Instead of traditional carving we used washi tape and googly eyes and it was FUN! This year we wanted to try something a little different using the Cricut Maker. This simple cutting machine has really changed the way we craft at home! Pumpkin decoration supplies: Cricut Maker Cricut vinyl Cricut Standard Grip Mat Cricut Transfer Tape Cricut Weeder and Scraper Polar Bear Pumpkin (picked at the Pop Up Farm) Cute and easy pumpkin…

    October 13, 2019 - By 

    I’ve had my Cricut Maker a good few months but still feel like I’m getting to grips with it. When I saw a Cricut Meet and Greet advertised on the Cricut Europe Facebook page I knew I would love to attend. Fortunately one of the sessions was in West London and on a Monday – the one day a week I don’t work! I booked a free ticket and went off to find out more.

    October 9, 2019 - By 

    After our visit to the pumpkin patch over the weekend I was excited to use the pumpkins we picked to decorate our home. We made sure to pick as many varieties as we could to make a really colourful pumpkin display. I bought a cheap and cheerful wooden plaque blank for Hobbycraft and used my Cricut Maker to cut a cute little vinyl decal. It looks super cute!

    How to personalise your Cricut Maker

    September 8, 2019 - By 

    A few weeks ago we had the floor replaced in our living room. Everything was packed away and I’ve been enjoying unpacking all my craft supplies and re-discovering some half finished projects. This weekend I got my Cricut Maker out as I’ve been thinking up a few projects I would like to make. I remembered that I wanted to write a post about how I personalised my Cricut machine with my name. I absolutely love opening up my Cricut machine and seeing my name! It really is the small things which give me pleasure. Adding your name to your Cricut…
