Five things I use regularly when creating a gift: 1. Cricut Air 2 - I have been using a Cricut machine since I first started this little business. The machine and program has allowed me to create various borders and designs from card stock wich surround the diapers when I am not using blankets or ribbon. Lately, I have been more creative with things like cake toppers and embellishments to add character and decor to each gift but there is so much more the Cricut world that I simply have not yet learned. 2. Ribbon - I have been collecting ribbon over a period of years. There are some types that I use consistently and others that just catch my eye when I am browsing the craft aisle. Ribbon allows me to add colourful accents or hold blankets and clothing together. 3. Embellishments - Forever in Time is a brand of craft supplies that I adore and use often. I find them at @dollartree or order directly from @multicraft_intl along with many other craft supplies. When I can't make certain embellishments myself or am pressed for time, their little paper flowers and bows are a favourite of mine. 4. Cardstock - I am a little bit of a cardstock hoarder and have been collecting both patterned and solid coloured cardstock for years. Cardstock is often the heart of any gift and it gets picked first before any other element. 5. Baby gear - I try and offer the new parents a little of everything in gifts from bath wash to bibs, blankets and body suits to small teething toys and washcloths. Those same items are often folded or rolled into intricate designs for the new parents to unfold and discover 💝 . . . . . #CraftersOfInstagram #BabyGiftIdea #BabyShowerGiftIdea #GiftCreations #CuratedGift #PrettyPackage #MadeInOttawa #OttawaArtisans #OttawaSmallBusiness #MadeWithLove #CardStockCrafts #CardStockPaper #PaperCrafting #CricutExplore #CricutMade #CricutAir2 #BabyEssentials #LiveCleanBaby #MakersGonnaMake #MakePrettyStuff #MakersOfInstagram #MakersOfIG #CardStock #CraftEssentials #CricutCanada #BizBabe #GrowMyHustle #DiaperCakes #OttawaIgers #SideHustleMoms (at Ottawa, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRAEZldFEA5/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve had such a hard time coming up with a phrase or words to letter lately. I’ve tried searching Pinterest for quotes (all annoyingly cheesy, unfortunately) and attempted to come up with things on my own, but nothing sticks. It’s such a weird thing, because all I want to do is draw, but I can never think of content that feels right. So this is my attempt at just getting something out there and along with some inspiration to myself to get over it and just draw. Creating something dumb is better than not creating at all! P.S. if anyone has any not-so-cheesy things they would like to see illustrated, let me know! 😂 #justdraw #justdrawsomething #makeprettystuff #makersgonnamake #keepcreating #createwithoutfear #handlettering #drawing #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #typespire #goodtype #typegang #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #calligritype #handtype #artoftype #illustration #thedailytype #sketchbook (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uzD7YHEhJ/?igshid=x46mp0uf9dy9

I never share my work in progress shots, so here’s a halfway done sketch from the iPad that I’ve been working on this week! This is really just a message to myself to keep making and sharing things, without getting too caught up in comparing my work to everyone else. With so many peoples’ artwork so accessible I feel like I’m constantly be stacking myself against all the most talented and successful people on Instagram. My goal is to stop comparing, and continue to make and share the things I love to create, because it makes me so happy! #keepcreating #makeprettystuff #makersgonnamake #sharethelove #createwithoutfear #handlettering #drawing #lettering #utahdesigner #utahhandlettering #womenofillustration #illustration #ladieswhopaint #handdrawntype #typography #typespire #goodtype #typegang #calligraphy #moderncalligraphy #calligritype #handtype #artoftype #illustration #thedailytype #ipadlettering #ipadproart (at Salt Lake City, Utah) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bto7JwEnca_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16eb66n4pilpt
