Today, I’m bringing you something a little different. This post is the first of my brand new series, Cricut-mania! For the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some of the ways I use my Cricut Explore Air 2 in my own journaling. I’ll even have more free cut files for you, like these free printable planner and Bullet Journal stickers.

And with that, let’s officially kick off Cricut-mania!

What can you do with a Cricut?

Before I got my Cricut Explore Air 2, I asked myself this question about 328,000 times (give or take a few). My artsy friends were busy creating iron-on masterpieces, home decor projects, greeting cards, and countless other creative projects, while I was still scratching my head over what the heck I would do with a cutting machine.

Eventually, the vision clicked. I was sure I could turn a cutting machine into the ultimate journaling and organizational powerhouse! Santa brought me a Cricut for Christmas, and I got busy. There were a few things I wish I had known ahead of time, so before you get started I’d recommend checking out the list of 10 Must-Have Cricut Accessories.

I never would have thought to use heat-transfer vinyl (HTV) on the front of a Leuchtturm1917, but it works! You can cut any design or your favorite quote and add it to the front of your journal. There’s definitely a technique to this process, so make sure you read Heidi’s full tutorial.

I’ve gushed about how handy magnetic bookmarks are for marking pages in my Bullet Journal! They don’t tear or bend the pages like traditional paperclips, and they stay in place. Did I mention the ones from Laura’s Crafty Life are Harry Potter themed? And yes, made on a Cricut. I’m in!

I don’t need to tell you what to do with stencils. You know they’re amazing! Making your own is super simple with a cutting machine. Hello Creative Family has a great tutorial for some cute planning stencils.

10. Hand-Drawn Stamps

Go to kimdellow.com for a step-by-step look at making these hand-drawn stamps.

Before I got my Cricut, it never occurred to me it could make stamps. Even better, you can create a stamp from your own drawings. Kim Dellow demonstrates this technique for art journaling, but it would also work for planning stamps and BuJo icons.

I hope these ideas got your imagination turning!  Cutting machines go way beyond cards and t-shirts, and I’m excited to show you more planner-friendly Cricut projects you can use to organize and inspire your life!
