Playing with my Cricut Explore Air 2

Well, I finally got some time to sit and play with my new Cricut Explore Air 2. I have made a few projects now, and I LOVE this machine. It is so user friendly, and working with Design Space is a dream.

These are the sweatshirts I made over the weekend.

Design Space is a free download, and it works on my PC and on my Ipad.... Love it!! Check out all Design Space has to offer. You can download it here!

As a Cricut Standard Access Member, you receive 10% off your orders in addition to any sale prices. Premium Access Members get 50% off orders, but some restrictions apply. You can check out Access Membership Here. I got a year free Standard Access Membership when I purchased my machine, and I can't imagine not having it. I have definitely gotten my money's worth out of it.

I have also setup a Facebook Group for those of us new to Cricut Explore and who want to share ideas and ask questions. The group is called Cricut Explore for Newbies. Come on over and join us!

I can't wait to see what great projects you create, so please share them with us.

Do-It-Yourself with the Cricut® Flower Market Collection

Spring is in full bloom and you’re itching for some new décor. Flowers and wreaths…designs that look bright, open, and airy… Instead of picking something up at the store, give your do-it-yourself prowess a try!

The framed monogram wreath CTMH is displaying today was made using the Cricut® Flower Market collection—ideal for springtime crafts! The wreath is set in a shadow box, but make your arrangement to suit your style and your space. Once you start working with the Flower Market collection, you might just find yourself branching out in your own direction! Instead of a wreath like this one, you might end up with a bouquet, or a smaller floral project. That’s the best part of DIY décor and CTMH’s Cricut® collections—everything you make is customizable to your needs and liking! Choose how far your creativity will take you and start trimming with flowers that will last all season!

Before getting started, you have to select your colors. We chose neutral hues for our example décor to make it easy to add to any existing scheme. As you’re planning your project, also consider that using light and neutral color palettes can brighten up a room, making it feel more open and less cluttered.

This wreath’s petals were made using White Daisy cardstock, our Champagne Exclusive Inks™ stamp pad, and a sponge.

If you’re a fan of the modern shabby chic style, we have a simple paper distressing technique that you have to try! Cut a small triangle out of your round sponge, ink it, and then dab off the excess ink on scrap paper (you want very little ink on your sponge). Now that your sponge is ready to go, rub the edges of the paper you are looking to distress and—ta-da!—you have paper leaves that are “weathered” and very chic!

DIY décor is definitely the way to go this spring and the Cricut® Flower Market collection is just bursting with ideas! Give it a try, experiment, and create wonderful things!
