People often ask me for advice about DIY supplies and crafting tools, and hands down, one of my very favorites is my Cricut electronic cutting machine. I use my Cricut for decorating, organizing, and crafting. Basically, it can do ANYTHING! Ok, maybe not anything… but darn close!
Whether you already own a Cricut, or you’re doing some research to decide if it’s right for you, this page will help you get stared. Below you’ll find a collection of projects made with Cricut as well as detailed Cricut how to tutorials.

My mom bought be the original model Cricut back when I was in law school, and I used the heck out of that thing for more than a decade. Finally, last year, I upgraded to the Cricut Explore Air, but the new Cricut Maker is at the top of my wish list! You can purchase the machine and all the accessories directly from the Cricut website {where there’s often great sales and specials}, or on Amazon.
With that original machine, I was limited to cutting from the font and design cartridges I purchased, but Cricut has come A LONG way in the past decade! Now, rather than relying on cartridges, you can design projects directly in Cricut Design Space, and very user-friendly online software program. Within Design Space, you can choose from a huge selection of Make It Now projects, design your own using the images in the library, print and cut any of the fonts on your computer, and even upload your own images.
Be sure to pin this page so you can find your way back because I’m always adding new tutorials and projects! Some of these projects have been sponsored by Cricut (as noted in the individual posts), but in all cases, the ideas and opinions shared are my own.
