DIY Wedding and crafting


 I stumbled upon the Cricut brand 7 years ago when I was trying to figure out a way of creating my very own wedding invitations. 

When I was planning my wedding, I wanted to add my own touch and make it more personal. I searched online for DIY Invitations, DIY Aisle Runner, Button Holes, Paper Flowers anything wedding related!

Every tutorial I looked at always mentioned Cricut and the tutorials that did not mention Cricut did not look as good, so I had to check it out. I  needed to know exactly what it did, I went on to YouTube and watched video's of them making so many lovely projects. I then checked the price and due to the wedding I could not afford to get it as it was quite pricey considering I was trying to do a budget wedding.
In the end I  designed my own wedding invitations, table plan, button holes, and so much more, and they all turned out lovely and I received so many compliments. I was even approached by wedding magazines to have my wedding featured!!!! ( I politely declined)

After so many compliments it gave me confidence and I was able to help other people who were also getting married on a budget.

To cut a very long story short exactly a year after our wedding my husband bought me my first ever craft machine.
I felt out of my depth with this machine and joined lots of support groups, from that moment on I got all the help I ever needed and it did not take me long before I was able to help others figure out their new machines.

WHAT IS CRICUT?
Once you buy one it becomes a way of life, it gives you the opportunity to connect and befriend crafters all over the world and it allows you to create beautiful crafts that look professionally made.

Flower Power 🥴 Cricut

Well, where do I start? Flowers, rolled flowers, layered flowers and felt flowers any flowers for that matter I hate them.😭 We see so many of the beautiful flowers  postsed on Facebook and some have even completed an entire wall full of the most beautiful flowers you have ever seen and it’s all done with cardstock! So after seeing lots of posts saying “not bad for my first attempt”  and the pictures looking like they have plucked it straight out Beachgrove garden I thought I can do that! I logged into Cricut Design Space and as I am subscribed to Cricut Acsess I selected the purple image bellow I was only messing around to see if I could actually produce anything that resembles a flower and duplicated only 4 petals to test it out. I made each petal a little smaller then cut. I used cheap card bought from Poundland and cut it on the cardboard + setting. I was really surprised by the results and I was now on mission to cut more. I tried the rolled flowers befo...

Thoughts on the Foil Quill

My thoughts on the Foil Quill Using Cricut I have had the quill now for a few months. I am not an avid crafter so I have not used it to create a card Ive only tested it on various materials. I like to try out things that not alot of people are making. I just love experimenting! Foiling on Gloss Vinyl  I decided to foil on some gloss vinyl and purchased this design as I thought it was super CUTE!!! click here to purchase design I tried to tape the foil down best that I could but as per usual it came loose whilst foiling :(   I am using Heat Reactive Foil/Hot Stamping Foil. Please do not get confused with Toner Reactive Foils as this WILL NOT WORK.  I used the Pink Pen tool for the thinnest line. Remember to let it heat up for about 5 minutes before using. I really am impressed with the outcome. SUPER CUTE!!! So next was to try it on Matt Vinyl, Using the same method as above. Again it turned out great!!! So now I was f...
