Hi! I’m Connie, the creator behind Say It With Simplicity.

I’m an everyday creator with a deep love for crafting and years of hands-on experience using Cricut and Silhouette machines. What started as a passion for card making has blossomed into a diverse crafting journey. Now, I enjoy creating all sorts of projects, from paper crafts to sublimation, sewing, and more. My husband has been a steady anchor and supporter of my creative journey.

My Crafting Tools:

• Cutting Machines: Cricut Maker, Cricut Explore Air 2, Silhouette Cameo 3 & 4, Silhouette Portrait, and Silhouette Mint Machine
• Heat Press & Sublimation: My 15″x15″ Heat Press, Cricut Heat Press Mini, Cricut Mug Press, and Epson 2720 for sublimation printing
• Sewing: I love sewing with both modern and vintage machines, which I use often to create things for my home and family.
• Woodworking: Outside, I explore another creative side using my miter saw, table saw, scroll saw, and other power tools.

My passion for cutting machines led me to digital design, where I create SVG files for hobbyists and small business owners alike. Many of these SVG files are available in my Etsy shop and on Creative Fabrica, and I also share free designs in my Free SVG Library here on the blog.

I’m here to help you succeed!

Crafting is about more than just making things—it’s about sharing experiences and learning together. Before diving into full-time crafting, I worked as an elementary school teaching assistant and even taught basket weaving around southern Wisconsin. My love for teaching has stayed with me, which is one of the reasons I started the Say It With Simplicity Crafting Group on Facebook. This growing community is a place to share projects, ask questions, and get support from others on their crafting journeys. Whether you’re just starting or you’re a seasoned pro, we’re all here to help each other!

Learning and Growing Together

In the fall of 2022, I completed the Terri Johnson Creates Silhouette Licensing Course, which deepened my skills and passion for teaching others how to use their Silhouette machines. My goal is to help you create beautiful projects for your home, family, and friends, and to encourage you on your creative journey. I truly believe it’s never too late to learn something new, and I’m here to guide you along the way.

Crafting for Fun and Business

Whether you’re crafting as a hobby or starting your own small business, I want to inspire you to keep growing and learning. It’s not just about the projects you make—it’s about the joy, the creativity, and the skills you develop along the way. Crafting is a lifelong journey, and I’m excited to be part of yours!

Thanks for being here. I can’t wait to see what you create!
