From the creator of Leap of Faith Crafting comes a brand new book, all about making handmade holiday gifts and decorations with your Cricut cutting machine!

Throughout the whimsical pages of this book, author Amy Pelzner will walk you through 30 brand-new Cricut projects that can be personalized and given as gifts to friends and family or hung as holiday decor in your own home as the Christmas season approaches. With step-by-step photos and encouraging instructions, you’ll be confidently crafting Amy’s ideas (or placing inspired spins on your own) in no time at all!

Whether you are a skilled crafter or new to DIY, you will find exciting ways to use your Cricut Maker, Explore, and/or Joy.

If you’re new to the Cricut scene, you’ll want to pore over the pages that help you unbox your Cricut, giving you a general understanding of the parts of your machine, as well as tips for using Cricut Design Space and Cricut Access.

If you’re an experienced Cricut crafter, you can skip ahead to the projects, which use the most popular materials your Cricut can cut. These include fabric (cotton, felt, and fleece); basswood and chipboard; leather; vinyl; paper; and heat transfer vinyl. Tips for using infusible ink are also included.

Projects include:

• Christmas gingerbread earrings
• Frosted window cling snowflakes
• Advent calendar
• Round wood holiday sign
• Layered shadow box
• Personalized gift tags
• Pop-up Christmas cards
• Holiday banners
• Ceramic and chipboard ornaments
• Custom wrapping paper
• Matching pajamas
• Themed coasters
• Christmas-movie-watching mugs
• and so much more!

Similar to previous books in this series (The Unofficial Book of Cricut Crafts and The Unofficial Book of Handmade Cricut Crafts), you’ll receive (free!) included cut files that will inspire you to create designs of your own that you can not only gift, but also sell on creative marketplaces such as Etsy and even at craft fairs.

With your Cricut cutting machine and this book, you’ll be prepared with a handmade gift idea for everyone this holiday season, including neighbors, teachers, delivery drivers, and, of course, your loved ones.

Amy Pelzner’s life has turned out much different than what she’d planned! After working as an optometrist for more than a decade, she took a leap of faith (hence the name of her blog, Leap of Faith Crafting) and decided to start a blog as a place to showcase handmade crafts that for sale. She quickly fell in love with the blogging aspect. With a degree in biochemistry from UC San Diego and a doctorate of optometry from UC Berkeley, she started crafting later in life with almost no prior experience, which is what led her to try and inspire other women to take up crafting no matter how old they are. It’s never too late to find your passion! She resides in California.
