Creative Back-to-School DIYs!
Hey, Reader!
Can you believe it's already time to go back to school? It feels like we just blinked, and summer disappeared! And it seems to go faster every year!
I wanted to reach out because, like me, you're probably gearing up for the upcoming school year. So, I thought we could navigate this back-to-school adventure together with some fun DIY projects.
Whether you're a parent, student, or teacher, you will enjoy these! Several freebies are also included (I've marked them below for you), and our premium crafters get everything in the Craft Vault as always!
SCHOOL MILESTONE SIGNS
Why not kick off the new school year with personalized DIY back-to-school milestone signs to capture some photos of your kids before they grow another foot?
I used my vinyl and a wood sign to make these and created styles for both boys and girls. For younger kids, the crayon version is perfect, and older kids can opt for the globe and book design.

CUSTOMIZE BACK-TO-SCHOOL GEAR WITH CRICUT
Ah, back-to-school gear; it is inevitable every year, so why not personalize it with a cute graphic, decal, or simple letter monogram? Note: never display your child's full name for safety reasons.
I used smart iron-on vinyl for my lunch boxes, backpacks, and permanent vinyl on my water bottles. Get creative with it!

Back to School Planner Stickers
With school comes planning! Whether you have an older student who may enjoy these or you are a teacher, these planner stickers will keep you organized and add a little fun to those scheduling days!
Use your favorite sticker paper (I like the Luxoton brand on Amazon), your Cricut to Print Then Cut these images or just a pair of scissors!

Card Maker's Success Event Starts Thursday!
On another note, with back to school comes the nearing of the holiday season. I want to remind you that the Card Maker Success Summit starts TOMORROW!
There are 30 FREE holiday winter-themed cardmaking workshops you can make, along with a new workshop from me, of course! Let's transform you into a cardmaking machine so you can WOW your friends and family this holiday season.
All the best,
Abbi

Hi there, Reader! One of the things I am most passionate about is genuine connection. Listen, I am as human as you are. I make mistakes, and I learn from failures like anyone else. One of the things I have learned through tons of trial and error was how to make my own custom SVG craft files. Here's the personal bit... I have ZERO education in design. Zip. Zilch. Nada. In fact, I completely sucked at it when I started, and honestly still have rare moments where I look at the things I make and...
