HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE CRICUT CARD SUMMIT?

, ,

If you're new around here, you may not have realized yet just how much I enjoy card-making with my Cricut Maker, or why I use it so often now.  It's literally become one of my favorite and funnest tools to work with!

Maybe you're on the fence about whether or not you would really use one or maybe you have one, but you still haven't taken it out of the box.  I know folks that have had theirs sitting unopened for a year or more!  ACK!!! 

That said, I wanted to encourage you to grab your free ticket to the Cricut Card Summit, which is coming up May 16-18th!  I will be presenting at this online event and would LOVE to see you join the fun!  I am an affiliate so if you purchase the All Access Pass via my link, I do receive a commission.

Join me at the CRICUT CARD SUMMIT and learn how to foil using the Foil Quill + the Cricut!

I am not what you'd call a “techie”, BUT, I believe digital cutters, like the Cricut, not only make certain aspects of card-making easier, they expand our creative options!  And, I think it's pretty cool that we live in an era where it's becoming increasingly possible to create and craft more things at home, that not too long ago, would have required pro-grade equipment or a factory setting!  •fist bump•

 

THE BENEFITS OF USING A CRICUT/DIGITAL CUTTER

Just a few things that immediately come to mind for me:

  1. Sometimes, you need something last minute—a pre-designed card can be made faster than you can hop into the car and head to the nearest card shop! And, you still made it yourself!

  2. The Cricut is a multi-purpose craft tool: It can not only cut, it can draw, foil, engrave, score and deboss! That’s a lot of capability in a tool!

  3. Cut, draw/foil, engrave designs can be resized as needed (they’re not “fixed” to a specific size)

  4. Need multiples? The Cricut can render the same design on repeat as much as you like!


If you want to learn how to maximize all the different card-making techniques you can do with this machine, the Cricut Card Summit is the perfect introduction:

NEW HOLIDAY 2022 SVGS IN THE SHOP

, ,

I’ve had my head down working on a new release of SVGs for my shop—I know I’m late, but, if you have a digital cutter, these files can really save you time—especially if you find yourself scrambling at the 11th hour to pull something pretty together (Hello, me every year, LOL!). I love this first of my collections so much! #allthehearteyes

Anyway, the beauty of owning a plotter, means if you need to make make gift card sleeves, goody boxes or package toppers, and more, at the last minute, quick and easy SVGs such as these can be a true lifesaver!

Clicking on the photos will take you to those specific files in the shop.

HEADS’ UP! You can save 10% off all SVG files in the Seasonal Category today through December 31st with this coupon code: NICKOFTIME

SVG FREEBIE: FOIL SNOWFLAKE CARD

I also have a FREE file for you to download in the shop! Click on the photo above for a short cut to the file. It’s my very first foil/draw design and I thought it turned out so pretty! I used the Cricut Foil Tool and Foil (affil. link) on the smoother side of textured Park Lane 80# textured card stock (affil. link). You can also use the We R Memory Keepers Foil Quill (affil. link) and that brand foil sheets.

While I was testing my foiling designs and working with different papers, I discovered something! I’m hoping to do a video soon so you can see what I was surprised to find! I was SO SO happy: Crafter’s Companion Gemini FoilPress MULTI-SURFACE Foils (EH affil link / Amz affil link) worked with the Cricut Foil Tips on heavier papers like my favorite Bristol Paper (EH affil link / Amz affil link) and Canson XL Watercolor Paper (EH affil link / Amz affil link). And it performed very consistently/beautifully!

Whaaaat???!!! GET OUT!!! You seriously coulda’ knocked me over with a feather. Totally was not anticipating such great results. But I was going through a lot of testing on different papers I had and burning through a LOTTA foil.

All that to say, if you are on the hunt for foil sheets that will offer more consistent results with the Cricut Foil Tool on other papers, I’d definitely give the Gemini Multi-Surface Foils a try!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying fun times with family and friends this Holiday Season—I just made hot cocoa bombs with my granddaughters! I now fully understand why just one well-made, handmade hot cocoa bomb can be quite spendy! But, the experience with the littles was PRICELESS!!!

Peace!
