In this upbeat guide, craft designer Strutt (
Crochet Granny Squares and More) shares a series of celebration- and holiday-themed projects created with the Cricut digital die-cutting machine. Styles range from whimsical (a Halloween bat mobile; a festive foam bunting) to sophisticated (etched glasses; a paper succulent mounted in a premade glass terrarium). Each project includes a list of necessary supplies, as well as illustrated step-by-step instructions for cutting and assembling. The variety of techniques included is impressive, and the techniques shared can be applied in other designs. While the projects use Cricut-branded machines and supplies, the projects can also be created on other makes of die-cutting machine with similar functions, such as the Silhouette Cameo. An introduction to tools and materials is included, but knowledge of Cricut basics and the Design Space software is assumed. A QR code links crafters to the Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files needed to create each project.
VERDICT Digital die-cutting machines continue to grow in popularity, but there are few books on the topic. This title will inspire crafters interested in using a digital die-cutting machine to create a variety of decorative objects and party favors.
