I’ve had these gift tags sitting around for a few weeks, waiting to be photographed. I originally made them for the Boho style baby shower that I helped organise a few weeks ago. While I loved how they came out, they just didn’t feel right for that occasion. The final palm leaf inspired gift tags…

Reindeer lollipop and chocolate holders // Cricut DIY
Sometimes inspiration is easy to find and other times it’s really tough. I’m sure, like me, most creatives use Pinterest as one of their sources of inspiration. Everyday life situations and needs that arise are also an obvious source of inspiration. But one that is so often underestimated is community. One source of inspiration that…
Palm Leaf Gift Tags // DIY
Yesterday was my sister-in-law’s baby shower and it was so good to celebrate her and her little baba. One of the things she wanted was to send each guest home with a little something to remind them to pray, send a message or offer her support over the next few weeks. I’m all for fun…
Hello Baby // Baby shower cake topper DIY
Yesterday we celebrated my sister-in-law’s baby shower and so it was the perfect time to get crafting. I love a good cake topper! It’s such an easy way to turn a very simple cake into a perfectly themed cake. We went with a neutral, brown toned boho baby shower with paper palm leaves, pretty baskets…
Boho Stencil Shapes // DIY peg dolls
My sister-in-law recently hosted a baby shower and was looking for a craft idea that would be both entertainment and leave a keepsake for the baby-to-be. Still one of my top read blog posts is this one for DIY baby blocks. They make such a great baby shower craft idea, so we worked together on…
Felt Gone Fishing Game // DIY
I saw something last night that reminded me of the magnetic fishing game and decided right there and then that today was the day to make one. Surprisingly I managed to get most of it done during nap time, thanks to my Cricut Maker cutting all the felt so perfectly for me. Then I shipped…
Jetpack Space Theme Dress-up // DIY
Our daughter’s playschool has started doing dress-up day every Friday and I am here for it! I was never really that into dress-up as a kid, but I think I’m trying to make up for it by making sure she has something fun to wear for each theme. This week’s was my favourite one yet!…
Geometric Wall Vinyls DIY // Free Cricut Project & SVG
One of the easiest ways to update a space is by adding some simple vinyl sticker decals to the wall. It’s great for a rental space too, as you can just remove them when you need to. Being able to make my own vinyl stickers is one of my favourite things about die-cutting and by…
DIY Stretchy Name Beaded Bracelet Kit // Party Favour Idea
This past weekend was my daughters 4th birthday party. How we’re already at 4, I’m not sure, but we’re here none the less. I’ve been loving the stretchy beaded bracelet trend and wanting to make a few bracelets. A party favour for her friends seemed like a good enough excuse to get some beads (with…
Cork Coasters with the Cricut Maker // Free SVG download
Coasters have been on my DIY radar for a while. I made some cement coasters a few years back, but we needed something lighter and baby safe that would still protect our furniture from wet glasses or mugs. Of course wanting to try cut cork with my Cricut Maker was a great excuse! How to cut…
Leather Keyrings // DIY with Cricut
One of the things that excited me most about the Cricut Maker is it’s versatility. In this project alone it’s cutting a thick material like leather and then by simply switching out the blade it can cut fine detail from the iron-on. There are so many fun projects that this could be used for. To…
Dollhouse Bed with Headboard // Popsicle Stick DIY
My creative goal for 2020 was to make a dollhouse and all its furniture by June, as a birthday present for our 3 year old. Fast forward to three days before Christmas and I was sitting making my first piece of furniture for a dollhouse that we ended up buying as a Christmas present. Safe…
DIY Paper Fiddle Leaf Fig // Free Download
Fiddle leaf figs are still one of the most popular indoor plants. Well, on Instagram at least. Unfortunately mine is not doing too well and has officially dropped more dead leaves than it has grown since I got it. Whoops! Paper plants always seem to come to my rescue, so of course a DIY paper…
How to cut by line or fill colour in Silhouette Studio // Silhouette Tips
This one is for all the Silhouette users out there. Ever find yourself wanting to cut different sections of the same design file from different materials, or wanting to draw and then cut on the same piece of card without having to save all the different pieces into a new file? It’s quite simple really…
DIY Soft Toy Rattles // Free Cut File for Baby Plushies
We seem to have a definite flurry of children’s birthdays around June. Of course it’s compounded by the fact that our antenatal class friends’ babies are all obviously born within a few weeks of each other. I started trying to DIY a present for each of Bubs’ friends, but instead it turned into these sweet…
Child’s Sun Hat // Wide-brimmed Bucket Hat DIY
Wide-brimmed hats for toddlers seem to be surprisingly hard to come by. I needed to buy a hat for Bubs last year, as we were going away on holiday. Eventually I found one I was mostly satisfied with, but it cost more than I’d like to have paid and the prints were limited. I thought I…
