“Wow, you made that?!” Ahh, music to every crafter’s ears: that moment when the recipient of your gift lights up with joy and a little shock that you made something so beautiful.  

You may be eager to create personalized presents for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions but lack confidence in your skills or understanding of your cutting machine, such as Cricut. 

Before I heard, “Wow, you made that?!” I heard a whole lot of “nope, I don’t like it” from myself. However, I had a strong desire to make and give personalized gifts. 

The problem was I felt unsure about what I wanted to make and how to create it. The solution? Sure, practice and patience, but more importantly learning in a progressive manner from those who know how to teach the tools and techniques I was eager to learn. 

Over the past decade, I’ve dedicated myself to mastering the art of handmade gifts and decor. With many mistakes, lessons learned, and techniques tested later, I acclimated a collection of projects that will have you crafting with joy not in years but just a few days.
