Cricut, Smallful & your crafty afternoon

I’ve been madly working behind the scenes on the most amazing new partnership. I’ve teamed up with the team at Cricut to create some amazing new projects for your Cricut Explore One™ and Cricut Explore Air™ machine. (and, if you don’t have a Cricut, most of the projects include instructions to make them on your own as well!)

Over the coming year, you’ll see lots of categories – from baby shower decorations to Egyptian crafts to Holiday projects- but today I wanted to highlight a couple of the first projects to debut in Cricut’s Smallful Shop. Smallful and Circut are focusing on Cricut’s new Print then Cut feature. So, these projects all involve printing out an illustrated image first, then cutting it on your Cricut machine (or cutting by hand). It’s been so exciting for me to create more complicated printables – because the Cricut can cut such intricate shapes without a problem!

Plus, since these are print then cut files, most of the projects requires only white cardstock and gluesticks or double-sided tape (a couple might require ribbon or string too). You won’t need to run to the craft store for special papers or materials!

Where should we start?

Ok, for the crafty kids in your world, how about the Make-A-Faces, Fastest Fliers Paper Planes, or the Boris Bear Mask projects? The Make-a-faces work so well with Cricut’s Printable Sticker Paper, but you can use regular card stock too – in fact, that way they’re more rearrangeable!

Or, how about some baby projects for showers and gifts? There’s the Counting Mobiles in pinks or blues, or the Monthly Milestone Photo Cards in pinks or blues to track your baby’s first year. I so wish I’d had these when my Birdie was a baby – they make it so much easier to remember what happened when!

I’m so happy to be finally sharing this with all of you, it’s been a labor of love for several months. Seeing it come to fruition feels dang good. Let me know if you have any questions about the Cricut machines, or how to access the projects – and let me know how you like them please!
