Cutting your own vinyl lettering and images is really easy with the Cricut but so many people don't try it because it looks a bit intimidating. I made a video to show you just how simple it is to do. On the video I am cutting out letters to put on a bucket I got from the Target $1 spot. Did you see the vinyl on the vase from yesterday? I'm sensing a theme. I wonder what else I can find from there to adhere my vinyl to? To cut vinyl with your Cricut, you'll need some supplies. Cr... more » -
I spent a lot of time cutting vinyl during my days doing the Cricut demos. This is one of the items I made. I found the vase in the dollar spot at Target. It was one of the $2.50 items. *digression--why do they call it the dollar spot if not everything is a dollar? Don't get me started on Dollar General.* I used the Storybook cartridge. It is one of my all time favorites. I used the cherry blossom cut out using the fit to length feature (4"). I cut out two of them and placed t... more » -
I'm leaving today for the Craft & Hobby Association Trade Show. For the SuperShow consumer portion, I'll be working with Craft Critique and tomorrow morning we'll announce our big, big news. For the trade show portion, I'll be reporting here on all the great new products, trends, and people I meet. I also have a bit of news to share. Remember the review I did for Dinotalk and their recordable gift card holder? Well, they asked me to be one of three featured artists for their bo... more » -
I made this advent calendar last year before ChristyNelson.net was born. It is going to be used again this year and I'm really proud of it, so I thought I would show it off. First things first. Grammar. Yes, I know I don't have the other "l" on "til". If i had another "l" sticker, I would put it on there. Instead I'm going for the urban spelling. Now onto the crafting. I made this using the tutorial from Splitcoast Stampers (they also laugh in the face of correct grammar). The... more » -
This is a picture of my main craft table. It's quite shameful. No wonder I haven't been able to sew in forever! In an effort to make room for all of my fun new tools, I needed to pare down the craft room. I moved all of my yarn to a dresser we picked up off the side of the street and I'm storing that in my daughter's room. That freed up some major space so now I'm just moving things around and trying to get more organized. I've found a lot of great things that I just don't use anymo... more » -
Can you tell what is inside this cute little pumpkin? This is one of those fall decorations I love because it takes very few items and my kids can't break it. All you need is a roll of toilet paper, some orange fabric, a stick cut to fit in the toilet paper roll hole, and some fall foliage (real or fake). Stuff the fabric in the toilet paper roll hole and then put in your stick and bunched up foliage. Easy(ier) as pumpkin pie! I think these would look great in patterned fabric as well... more » -
I used to store all of my paper punches on a shelf. This quickly invited all the little hands in my house to play with them. They are sturdy enough that I was never worried that they would break, it was just a pain to try and find them again somewhere on my floor. I wanted to mount them somehow on the wall. A few months ago we remodeled our bathroom and we had a leftover towel bar. We decided to install the towel bar in my craft room because it is the perfect thing to hold my Stampi... more » -
I was looking around Pottery Barn Kids online for some ideas for my house. I saw these hanging bouquets and I knew I could make my own! These aren't the kind of supplies I keep around my house so I had to go to a craft store. Supplies needed: styrofoam ball silk flowers (approximately 80-100) ribbon safety pin glue Everything was on sale and I spent just over $11 for the supplies. Most silk flowers you can just pull off the stem. These were perfect because there were a lot... more » -
This heart garland was made because I am mostly a lazy crafter. I wanted to make a little heart garland like some I've seen where they sew paper in a sewing machine. But, I realized that I have blue thread in my machine and I was too lazy to change it. Instead, I came up with a different way to hang my heart garland and I like it a lot! You need the most basic of supplies. Paper, scissors, ribbon, and a hole punch. I used double sided designer paper and regular red cardstock. I stru... more »
