I am in love with these Christmas stockings. Use your Cricut to cut out the fabric, then use no-sew tape to put it all together if you don’t have a sewing machine.

This Christmas craft is a quick and easy project. And…you get to use your Cricut as well as your fabric and vinyl stash.

Redbox Movie Night

Movie night baskets are so much FUN. They make great gifts for Christmas, winter house warming gifts, and gifts for the movie lovers in your life.

Terra Cotta Pot Christmas Crafts

Terra cotta pots are one of those craft supplies that you can use during any season. Christmas characters. Easter decor. Halloween monsters. It really doesn’t matter.

Silhouette portraits are a timeless classic. You can spend your time cutting these out by hand…or you can be really tricky and upload your images to Cricut.

The machine will cut the outside edge of your project for you out of the material of your choice. And you can quickly cut it multiple times so both sets of Grandparents are taken care of with one click of a Cricut button.

Relaxation Gift Basket:Printable Gift Tags

I love everything made by Meyers and the colors of this basket are perfect. Copy it exactly as she shows you, or you can mix and match colors to fit the occasion.

Add some Rae Dun type text to the container and it will add to the WOW factor!

This is a beautiful idea to showcase your holiday cards. Use Christmas colors for the ribbons and clothespins or choose colors that match your home and leave it up all year.

Coffee.

Does a gift get any better than coffee? Maybe if it is a local roast. Or the promise to share the coffee and a good long chat.

Chocolate pairings. That makes it even better.

My aunt always gave us a plastic candy cane full of Lip-Smackers lip balm.

It was one of my favorite gifts each year.

You can make your own version of this type of gift (because they don’t put them in the candy cane tube anymore!). Mix and match your lip balm or make it holiday flavored.
