I have tried the concept of gift card pockets before, but so far I was only creating designs with my Cricut. I had the opportunity to try it out again and this time I decided to include design paper. I am still cutting the card slot template I have created on Cricut Design Space, butContinue reading “Gift card pocket with A4 or 30 cm design paper”

Free files for Cricut
I’ve written before that I have the amazing machine Cricut Explore Air 2 to help me with paper crafts. It’s an electronic paper cutting machine where you can select shapes digitally in the software. You could say, it’s like my mini version of a CNC bench. What files does Cricut support? In the screenshot below,Continue reading “Free files for Cricut”
Back to basics – chocolate pocket card with 20 cm design paper
Why back to basics? Chocolate pocket cards were my first attempts on the paper crafts journey – I have written a bit more about it in my first paper crafts post .

I decidedContinue reading “Back to basics – chocolate pocket card with 20 cm design paper”

I hope the “computer” is recognizable in the picture. I thinkContinue reading “Computer shaker card for birthday”
Easel card with photo camera
This is a simple card where design paper and Cricut came together. I don’t know exactly where this idea came from. Recently I’ve been somehow “locked in my head” and haven’t created much, but I actually have a lot of different ideas. I’ve been watching different step cards in crafting groups lately, because it seemedContinue reading “Easel card with photo camera”
My kryptonite – the camera
I like to craft, but I always have a lot of trouble capturing my work results. This is quite ironic because my father has spent my whole conscious life around the camera and my other half also has a photography background. I don’t have a separate digital camera, but I bought my smartphone mainly becauseContinue reading “My kryptonite – the camera”
Cards of different type and style
Scrapbooking cards are layered cards made of design papers and cut-outs, and are seen mainly in design paper communities (I wrote about them in a previous post). The original term scrapbook refers to a memory book hand-crafted from special papers and cut-outs. The meaning has expanded over time and now refers to a technique, thatContinue reading “Cards of different type and style”
