Easter is on it’s way and I’m always on the lookout for some fun packaging options. Adding a fun carrot treat box also means you can fill it with standard sweets and not need to buy fancy Easter themed ones. All you need for this project is some cardstock, glue and a Cricut. 3D Carrot…

Christmas Gift Box – Cricut Maker & Acetate
I love good gift packaging. While the gift is obviously the main thing, good packaging adds so much to the excitement of opening the gift. Being able to make your own custom gift packaging takes it up even another notch. For a recent festive gift idea I made this gorgeous little acetate box with festive…
Engraved necklace with the Cricut Maker
While looking at necklaces in the shops the other day, I couldn’t help but notice a plain silver pendant. Now it looked lovely plain, but I couldn’t get the idea of trying to engrave it out of my mind. Having never used my Cricut Maker for engraving before, I should probably have started with something…
Turn your child’s artworks into a photobook // DIY
I posted a few weeks ago about turning your child’s drawings into coasters and I’m back today with another great way to turn their drawings into keepsakes. For this one you can use artwork or crafts that they’ve already done, so it can be your favourite selection. All you need is an app your phone….
Tooth fairy jar and bag // Cricut DIY
We haven’t had any teeth fall out in our house yet, but I want to be ready when it happens. I can just imagine that it’ll be mid exam week or some other very busy week. Thankfully Cricut makes it really easy to customise a simple little bag and jar. We are officially ready for…
Turn your child’s drawings into coasters with Cricut Infusible Ink
Personalised things are always great for kids, but how much cooler will they think it is if it’s done with their own drawings? This past week we did some experimenting with Cricut Infusible Ink pens and I’m so impressed. I’ve had them for a while, not exactly sure what to do with them, but I…
Princess Party // DIY
Last week our precious princess turned FIVE! For about 10 months she was set on a kitty party, but when we started planning she switched to “princess and prince”, so that’s what she got. It was lots of fun to put together. Naturally we DIY’d most of it, so read on to find all the…
2 birthday cake topper // DIY
A few weeks ago our littlest turned two, with a lovely construction themed party with our family. I made him this simple 2 cake topper from gold cardstock. It was just the right amount of glitz and simplicity. You can find the rest of the construction party here, as well as how we made the…
Construction Party // DIY
A few weeks ago our digger obsessed boy turned two. It was good timing as they’ve been busy digging up the road around my parents house, meaning he’s had lots of digger watching fun. A construction party theme, while being much more yellow than I’m used to, was actually really fun and easy to put…
Infusible Ink Coasters / / DIY
I’ve been dying to try out Cricut’s Infusible Ink and I finally had my chance! I was quite nervous to give it a go, but I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. If you don’t know what Infusible Ink is, it’s basically sublimation, where you use infusible ink transfer sheets or infusible ink pens…
Butterfly cupcake toppers // DIY
I love a good kids activity, so when my daughter had a playdate this week I decided to set them up with a fun craft. These butterfly cupcake toppers would be so great for a birthday party too. Either they could be made before hand as decor, or as a party activity. Of course they’d…
Floral Gift Tags // Cricut DIY
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…
Glass Plant Propagation Vase // DIY
I’ve seen some gorgeous plant vase/propagation vases at markets and loved them, so when I saw @whatstacyloves make one from a simple jar I knew I had to try it as soon as I could! I added some vinyl detail and I am so happy with how the vase turned out! I’ve read up on plant…
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…
How to cut thin vinyl lines // Cricut Clothing Drawer Labels
I’ve been meaning to add some image labels to these drawers inside my daughter’s cupboard since you got them, and I finally did it today. While these drawers are not Pinterest pretty, they have been so good for us. They fit nicely inside the hanging part of her cupboard and they’re easy for a four…
