You may asking “What is the slice tool in Design Space and how do I use it? Follow through this quick tutorial about how and when to use “slice” to create personal designs in Cricut Design Space. Using the slice tool is a way to cut out, or knock out one image from another image. As an example, I’ve place a circle in the middle of a square. When both images are selected, the slice button at the lower right will be highlighted and you’ll be able to click on it. Now when I click the slice button, the image looks the same even though…

Rustic Valentine Cardboard Craft
If you have kids who want to craft, this Rustic Valentine Cardboard Craft might just be something you want to try. I started down the cardboard craft trail a little while back when I was asked to teach a workshop at our county 4-H Family Learning Day.

Thrifty Thursday
Chalkboard Cutting Board It wasn’t too long ago that I purchased this cutting board at a local thrift store. I love old cutting boards, but my kitchen is small. I don’t have lots of room for a collection of them. The thrill of finding one for crafting left me thinking about the possibilities. I picked this one up for less than a dollar when our thrift store had mark- downs on housewares. I was thinking about using it for making a stand for my Kindle Fire, since I often like using it to view recipes I find online. The cutting board itself was a little bit on the rough side,…
