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…

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…
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…
Flower Lollipop Holder // Cricut DIY
We absolutely loved making reindeer lollipop holders for my daughter’s school friends for Christmas time last year, so when I had some lollipops that we’d bought for her party we decided to design another DIY cardstock lollipop holder that she could give to each friend as they were leaving her princess birthday party. Flower Lollipop…
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…
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…
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!…
