So full confession, I made a pop up headband with a New Year’s theme for Mr. Suzerspace and myself, and planned to share the tutorial in time for other’s to make their own. And then I totally didn’t. But the pop up headband came out great and I still wanted to share, so here’s a … The post Pop Up Headband appeared first on suzerspace ..read more

At the beginning of the month I finally replaced my aging computer. I’d been thinking about it since January or so, but the weekend before I wanted to do something simple and it took so long to start up and then crash that I finally realized it was time. Also at the beginning of August, … The post Cut a shape right where you want it appeared first on suzerspace ..read more

Today is Friday the 13th, and while I’m not a victim of Paraskevidekatriaphobia or Triskaidekaphobia, the date really puts Friday on my mind and if there’s an excuse for a craft, I’m in. Over the last several years I’ve been working on my hand lettering, and at first I was concentrating on brush lettering. In … The post Friday on My Mind appeared first on suzerspace ..read more

Some time ago I heard a comedian define crafting as when you see something you want, and instead of buying it, you realize, after a lot of time and just a little bit more money you could have a slightly crappier version.

I don’t know about you, but I needed a Winter Sanity Survival Plan this year more than ever.  One thing I wanted to try this year was a light – they go by different names, but generically they are referred to as Light Therapy Lamps. The theory is by using this special lamp in the … The post Have a Happy Time Layering Vinyl appeared first on suzerspace ..read more

I have to admit that I was skipping over the earring tutorials for Silhouette Cameo or Cricut that were showing up in my Pinterest feed. They all seemed to be featuring a similar tear drop shape with cutouts, and that really isn’t my style, so I just kept scrolling. But then last month a customer … The post Cut Custom Earrings From Text or a SVG file appeared first on suzerspace ..read more

A score in the paper world is a deep crease in the paper that allows the fold to be crisp and clean. Without it, paper projects can show cracks and become crooked on the fold areas. If you spend most of your crafting time working with vinyl, then you don’t have much use for it. … The post Create A Score in Silhouette Studio appeared first on suzerspace ..read more

This year, as I was cutting a new monster for my front window, I remembered that I had pinned another project that I wanted to do for Halloween. But when I thought about it, making all those pieces and crawling around on my stairs didn’t sound like that much fun. Plus, I’d need to clean … The post Happy Bats for Halloween appeared first on suzerspace ..read more

I don’t think it is any big secret that I like to decorate T-shirts. I’ve posted about my favorite freezer-paper stencil technique enough times that I probably should start a category for it. And I’ve dabbled a little in Heat Transfer vinyl, although I need a lot more practice to be comfortable with it. But … The post Create a Temporary Halloween T-Shirt appeared first on suzerspace ..read more

I’ve always been the go-to person wherever I work for personal projects. It always seems like someone needs a birthday invitation, a holiday card, and the occasional baby shower decoration.  But lately, I’ve been making baby shower items for the children of the people I work with. Which means that somehow they have gone from … The post Baby Shower Cupcake Toppers appeared first on suzerspace ..read more
