Spark your imagination and celebrate life’s milestones in style with 33 memorable projects for your Cricut machine.
If you have just bought your first digital die-cutter or already own one and are looking for fresh ideas and new techniques for the milestone events in your life, this is the book for you!
Digital die-cutting machines are the ultimate creative tool for crafters! If you need a little inspiration and guidance to get the most out of your Cricut machine, Cricut Celebrations provides a simple, step-by-step guide to make 33 amazing projects. There are links to 58 free downloadable SVG files to create the projects, including bonus SVGs available only through the Bookmarked Hub (www.bookmarkedhub.com).
This book plunges straight into the makes, which are themed around six life- or year-events that need no excuse for a celebration, from the arrival of a new baby to holiday season (Thanksgiving, Hanukkah and of course Christmas). The projects offer an exciting array of ideas and designs that will really spark your imagination, and all come with clear instructions and photos, plus the SVG files for every project.
Cricut machines work in conjunction with myriad materials and Laura shows you how to create stunning event embellishments in basswood, acrylic, traditional card and paper, as well as how to add an etched effect to a glass tea light. You can even use a pyrography tool alongside cut stencils to create bespoke wooden cubes for a baby!
This is the perfect book for Cricut machine owners seeking new and thoughtful inspiration!
