Little Paper Houses with Cricut Scoring Wheel {tutorial}

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

Good morning! Last week I shared so much information about the Cricut Scoring Wheel™. You’ll definitely want to pop over here & check out that post if you haven’t yet. Now I am excited to share a project that can only be done with Cricut Maker & this new scoring wheel. You can do so much more with the single scoring wheel and the double scoring wheel than the ordinary scoring stylus can do! Let me show you how we made some cute Little Paper Houses using the Maker & both scoring wheels! :)

Bunny Knot Headband with Cricut Rotary Blade {tutorial}

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine.

Good morning! Last week I told you all about the Cricut Rotary Blade™. You can see that post right here. The ah-mazing rotary blade brings customizable, precision fabric cutting to your home for the very first time. The blade glides and rolls, & this blade can turn within a quarter of an inch to cut through TONS of fabrics. Cutting fabric with the Cricut Maker is so, so easy! In the past I’ve used this blade to cut felt and with other no sew projects, but I was ready to tackle my FIRST sewing project with my Maker. So today I am excited to share how I made (no, sewed!!!) these cute Bunny Knot Headbands. Let’s get started! :)

Good morning! January is National Soup Month, & in my opinion, there is no other month better than January for a bowl of hot, warm & most of all, yummy soup. January can be so cold, and a bowl of warm soup is one of the best ways to warm up after a snow day or busy day at work or school. Annnnnd when you use Idahoan® Steakhouse® Soups, they will deliver an easy dinner your family will love, and you will love how comfort is made so, so easy. Today I’d love to share an easy Creamy Potato Soup recipe with you along with an easy Caesar Salad recipe to go along with that for a quick & easy dinner idea for you & your family.

Today I am going to share Everything You Need to Know About the Cricut Scoring Wheel. The new scoring wheel is like 2 tools in one with 2 interchangeable tips depending on your material. It also has up to 10X the pressure of Cricut’s best-selling Cricut Explore family of machines & old stylus. With your Cricut Maker AND the Scoring Wheel, in just one pass can make crisp, clean creases & lines for professional results on every single crease-and-fold project you tackle. You’ll no longer have to worry about whether your score lines are deep enough, & you can say goodbye to cracks when folding coated materials & hello to nice clean lines. Let’s get started! :)
