If you've ever wanted a little extra help with your Cricut, these live online workshops are the perfect way to learn new skills, ask questions and craft along with me from the comfort of your own home.

One of the things I love most about owning a Cricut is that I'm never caught without a card. Birthday tomorrow? I've got a card. Friend needs cheering up? I've got a card. Someone bought a new house? Yep, I've got a card for that too. And thanks to the Cricut Card Mat and Insert Card system, most of these can be made in less time than it takes me to decide what to watch on Netflix. If you're looking for your next card-making project, here are 8 Cricut card ideas.

Confession time. For the longest time, I thought shaker cards were one of those projects. You know the kind. The ones that look absolutely gorgeous on Pinterest but require seventeen specialist supplies, three hours of patience and the emotional resilience of a saint. Turns out I was completely wrong. Once you know the trick, shaker cards are actually really fun to make. And the best bit? They always get a "WOW, you made that?!" reaction.
