I’m excited you’re here! Let's craft together! My passion for crafting is funded by teaching and fueled by coffee…LOTS of coffee. I love to create and enjoy a variety of crafts from Cricut crafts to paper crafts to wood burning. When I’m not crafting, I’m either teaching, hiking or spending time with family.
I sincerely hope I can inspire the crafter in you! Feel free to ask crafting questions or leave project suggestions in the comments. After all, the crafting community is a collaborative one! 😊

Happy birthday! I watched this video and we are on the same path. I love Cricut so much but I am trying to expand to card making. I just started a couple of months ago so I really need to learn and get better. I still don’t have a lot of supplies yet. Love your videos!
Thank you so much! I think there is definitely room for cards in the Cricut craft room. I’ve been slowly getting dedicated card making supplies but I still use my Cricut for cards as well. Glad we are on the same path. 😊
I love your excitement when you reveal or finish a project! I have purchased some infusible ink sheets but have been hesitant to use them. You are giving me confidence!
Thank you. You are so welcome! I love sharing my crafts! I also love learning new techniques and ideas from other creators. The crafting community is so awesome.
Team candy corn! Mixed with M&M’s! Love them all so much, but think the cat is my favorite too, might do him with back glitter! I would paint the easel either black or orange!
I am team candy corn!! We mix a package with some salted nuts and it is addictive!! And yes I would paint the little easel black. It would set if off nicely.
I want to thank you for this video. It was very informative. You just taught me how to contour so I thank you for this. I’m still learning. For my grandbabies, I customize the Target pencil tray placed an Amazon gift card added pens, chapstick. You guys work very hard thank you for all you do for our little ones.
I am just getting started into some card making. If you were going to only get one Misti, would you purchase the mini or regular size? And does Amazon ever put them on sale -- is that what you said? Thanks for info!
I guess it depends on how much card making you want to do. The mini is perfect & I purchased my Mini Misti regular price. I don’t know if Amazon puts them on sale periodically. I did purchase my regular size Misti I got directly from My Sweet Petunia when it was on sale. I have used the mini so much more than the regular.
I love all of these designs. Thank you so much for not editing your challenges. It makes me feel less inadequate! You’re right. It was worth the headaches! I hope you have a very successful school year and look forward to all your future videos.
I like how you keep it real Jenn! It's nice to see the struggles (that we all have) and how you work through them. I really like Oracal vinyl also, as well as Expressions. And I'm super excited about Fall coming -- my favorite time of the year :)
I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I am fairly new to circuit. But I am really enjoying the possibilities. I have even created my own confetti stencil after watching, downloading and using the one from your video. You are awesome! Also, I have a small craft space as well so I have enjoyed you sharing your storage ideas.
Another great video. I save even the smallest scraps because you just never know! I am using the same box you have in this video for my scraps. I have 3 for HTV, permanent vinyl, and leather.
I have two plastic accordion files. I labeled one "Vinyl" and the other "HTV" I store my scraps inside according to color (loosely, there are never enough file tabs for all the colors!) It has worked well and I've had them several years. That being said, I have WAY too many scraps! I always try there first in an attempt to use them up, but I have accumulated a LOT :)
@@jennilynnhandcrafted I had to replace mine. They get dirty like crazy plus I’ve snapped a few lol and I’m not that strong at all 🫠🫠 but I also still have to do something with them. At the moment I have storage on my computer chair for them so it works out for now…
@@CassieslilCraftCorner Oh I have totally snapped a mat! I currently have about 2 mats that are almost ready to retire. I'll probably use them to hold vinyl when weeding or paper when I'm paper crafting.
A pro intermediate tip, when it comes to glitter or I guess shimmer I’d change how many times it cuts. ESPECIALLY glitter. I learned that the hard way and from another RU-vidr. I also have had issues with my Cricut cutting all the way through and the struggle to weed is horrible considering it’s sister easy weed lol
Oh wow! I never thought to change the number of times. So far, I think I’ve been lucky with my glitter. I just wish it was easier to see the cut lines when I weed.
@@jennilynnhandcrafted I just happened to notice the issue happening with my cricut maker 3 and then my joy and it was frustrating. I also wish it was better to see. Oh! Baby powder. Sprinkle baby powder on it and you can see the design. Amy Makes That has a lot of great cricut hacks. There’s also Amy Romeu which is how I learned that changing the number of cuts is a game changer. And Kayla’s Cricut Creations and Bethadilly who also has fun cricut hacks too. I personally like to bend it as if it’s infusible ink and weed it that way. I’ve never used the baby powder hack yet 😛
I love bending the vinyl and IF but I’ll have to try the baby powder. 😊 I’ve definitely watched Amy Makes That, Kayla, and Bethadilly. I’ll check out Amy R. Thanks for the tips!
