Why You Should Use Cricut Brand Materials (No Matter What Machine You Own!)

This post is brought to you by Cricut. All opinions are my own. Affiliate links are used. Thank you for supporting Ginger Snap Crafts. :)

Good morning! So good to see you! :) Today I am talking about one of my most favorite things! Annnnd that is Cricut! :) I love my Cricut machines, and I use them almost every day to create things for my home, family, friends and just about everything else in between. I know many of you own your own machines as well whether it be a Cricut, Silhouette, Brother or some other brand. And you know what? Just about all of these machines are compatible with Cricut brand materials. Yep! Just because you own a Silhouette doesn’t mean you can’t use most Cricut materials with your machine. Although, there are a few products that are exclusive to Cricut machines. So you might want to buy that Cricut anyways! ;) Today I am excited to tell you why Cricut brand materials are leaps and bounds ahead of other products you might already be using, and why YOU should be using Cricut brand materials starting today. Let’s get started! :)

Light the World Ornament {tutorial}

Good morning! I’m a few days late on mentioning this but better late than never, right? haha! Anyways, each year my church does a special Light the World campaign centered around sharing the love of Jesus Christ. They produce a calendar with something to do everyday during the month of December. It’s fun to do individually or as a family. This year they’ve added Light the World with Love which is just what this world needs right now ~ more love.  You can download the calendar and more right here. I teach a primary class at church which is the Sunday School for the kiddos. I made these Light the World Ornaments to hand out to my kiddos this Sunday along with a Light the World calendar. I thought they could hang the ornament on the tree as a reminder to do their light the world service each day. Let me show you how I made them. :)

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine.

So you have a Cricut, now what? :) I have to admit when I first got my Cricut machine the majority of the time I used it for cutting vinyl.

So today we are going to answer the question: What materials can I cut with my Cricut? There’s a ton! Annnnd once you start experimenting with different materials, there is no looking back. Cricut Explore, Cricut Maker & Cricut Joy machines all cut so many materials that the only limit really is your imagination. From something as delicate as tissue paper to thick leather, these amazing machines can do just about everything your crafty heart desires. :)

Good morning! I am so excited to tackle one of the most common questions I get asked about my Cricut. What is the best beginner project to start with when using a Cricut machine?
