The video tutorials were different this time because each process took many hours. So for the design space tutorial, it was more of a ‘tour’ of what was on my canvas, why I did certain things, and how to work this file. Would love to get your thoughts on this!!!! And the assembly video did not go through the entire process. But trust me when I tell you it took many many hours 🤣😂😆.

Tomorrow is our big lunar new year celebration!!! We usually put our li xi money in a red envelope, but I wouldn’t be the Useless Crafter if I didn’t take it up a notch. 😂😁😆🤦🏻‍♀️. Year of the Ox and I’m feeling it’s going to be amazing ❤️🧧❤️🧧❤️🧧.

1 0 K - whoooooo!!!!! I thought it was never going to happen 😂🤣🤦🏻‍♀️. But so excited for both my YouTube and Instagram accts to hit within days of each other. My top 3 videos are ... grinch, Ariel, and butterflies.Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You Thank You!

And now .... back to the grind.

Appreciate all of you ... and as my daughter says every night .... love you to the moon and back, to the Jupiters and Saturn (she can be fobby 😂)

I love the colors for a Tiana theme - green, gold, and white ... with a speck of purple.

So here's another take with the Pringles chip cans - without the dome. If you go with this option, you are not limited in size for what you put on top of the can. And you have all the supplies in your craftroom - paper, glue, and tape.

Which do you prefer? To dome or not dome??? I'm too close to it to tell. And I'm a late bloomer. I need to see it over and over. lol.

In this tutorial I will show you how to make personalized party favors out of Pringle cans.

Just when I thought it was time to give away this ice cream truck and gain some space, I realized it’s a dream party prop 😍😁.

Butterflies!

I think the graduation cap was the first time I did a paper butterfly! I love the layers and the 3D feel. Super low maintenance project with maximum results 🦋🦋🦋.

Tips:

1️⃣ use a glue gun to prop open the butterfly wings. It’ll dry hard and your wings are open and will stay open 🙌🏻👍🏻.

2️⃣ pick a few butterfly images (like 3) and change up sizes and combo of colors to create a varied yet cohesive theme.

I love it!!! The blue glitter outline of Matthew is over 18 inches long!!! With the overall Mickey centerpiece about 20 inches wide and 21 inches high. Not my typical off-the-mat character but it’s just as pretty 💙💙💙. And the hat is 4 inches high. Mini!!!

💀 Jack and sally - 37 inches x 22 inches of cardstock.

Look at that hair shine! I’m so excited to have discovered a new brand of glitter cardstock - Ground Up Creations!Now for the tips:💀 - at 37 inches they are practically seamless!!! In the video you can see a seam running through her dress. But that will disappear when this is glued to a foam board. It will stay flat and won’t catch the light reflection.

It’s Christmas time! Lol. So I’ve decided to have a fun Christmas tree craft room which is different from my living room fancy Christmas tree.

The grinch is 36 inches and he will have some company ... a nutcracker and Cindy Lou who will definitely be part of this scene. And lots more Christmas crafts to come.

It’s Tiana at 30 inches! She looks so pretty in person 💚💚💚💚.

Tips:

1. I see a lot of people flipping their mat over to pull off cardstock so it doesn’t curl the paper. I really hate to do that to my mat cause it picks up debris and makes the mat less sticky. If you pull the cardstock towards you as you unstick it from the mat, it works just as well ❤️.

3D letters for a Princess and The Frog Tiana themed party! This was a brand new area for me this year and I absolutely loved it. I’m still learning how to add to it cause surprisingly it’s different than layering a cake topper or banner. But this is definitely on my list for 2021 to get better at editing/adding/designing. 💚💚💚.

S P O O K Y 🎃👻🧟‍♂️🧛‍♀️.

Ok, as spooky as Hello Kitty can be. 😆😂🤣.

It’s a haunted house with lights perfect for this year’s non-trick-or-treating Halloween 🎃.

One of my favorite cake toppers ever!!! A close friend came up with ir and let me remake it.

The coins spin when you blow out the candles!!

I’m absolutely in love with this Princess Tiana cake topper shaker with a flashing light for the firefly. 🥰😍💚.The light is very cool and can easily be turned on and off. Without the paper, it’s on. Slide the paper back in and it’s off. It comes in multi color or just white and both are available on my amazon shop (link is in my profile and select amazon). 💚💚💚

.I love the colors for a Tiana theme - green, gold, and white ... with a speck of purple.

I’m getting all sentimental and excited about hitting my one year mark as a crafting YouTuber .... so I wanted to challenge myself and make something as tall as my 5 1/2 yr old. I make cake toppers, iron-on vinyl on shirts, personalize anything and everything ... but i feel like when it comes to off-the-mat characters, I am a legit superstar 😁🤪😂🤣. This toddler Snow White is going to be bananas 🍌 🍌 🍌.

What is it? It’s another milestone shaker! This time for my daughter who is starting kindergarten. I’m missing a true mommy moment of documenting her first day of kindergarten. So of course what’s the next best thing? Making her home desk as EXTRA AF. One week left!!! Any suggestions? 😂🤣🥰.

Another day, another cake topper shaker order. I love how all the colors shine and it’s just all so extra. 😂🥰🧜‍♀️ 🐳 💙💜💚.

Tips:

1. Foam sheet cuts on my Cricut Maker on flex foam setting using the rotary blade - cuts like 🧈.

2. For Print and Cut, I added white circles behind the purple beads so that it won’t try to cut around those tiny details. I try to avoid anything that will give me a headache. Lol. I’ve had plenty of times when the image is ruined cause it ripped during the last step.

3. Sequins is like ordering food - it’s better to have leftovers than to be left hungry. #moreisalwaysbetter 😂🤣.

I'm starting a new trend - milestone shakers! Ok, maybe everyone is already doing it and I'm totally late to the game. LOL. My 5 1/2 yr old went to the dentist last week and we were told there's movement! So sometime in the next 4-6 months, a tooth will be lost. She's my only one and I was feeling so emotional hearing the news. 😪😥. I knew I had to make something right away cause who knows what can happen during my quarantine fatigue.

This 5 yr old wanted this lawnmower. 😂🤣. Let me just say there was not a single lawnmower cake topper on Pinterest or Etsy to get ideas! It was a challenge for me to limit my glitter cardstock. 😂🤣. I hope he enjoys the John Deere mower and the hammers in the shaker. Lol.

Tip: for the slider, the Perler brand perler beads are great! Thanks to @thecraftyblock on IG for this awesome idea. ❤️💕💜.

Queen Bee from LOL Surprise - she is 30 inches straight off the Cricut cutting mat (so nothing has been taped down). The skin color was hard to capture on camera. It’s a golden light brown that I’ve used for Princess Jasmine as well. It’s from Cricut’s Shimmer Paper - Bedazzled Sampler package.
