Using Cricut to Make Movie Date Night Props

3:54 am Blog Post, Lifestyle, Mom Life

“This post has been sponsored by Cricut. All thoughts and opinions are my own.”

Summer is almost over and the boys haven’t done much. So I decided to do something special for them without spending too much. I wanted to do something different but something that they’ll love. So I decided to have a movie night by making movie night props with my Cricut Explore 3. The boys had no idea, but they knew I wanted to do something that would put a smile on their faces.

So, I’m about to get into all of the details and how our movie night came to life. This project can be made by anyone especially beginners like myself. Once I turned my Cricut Explore 3 on, I  connected via Bluetooth. I chose the project that I wanted to create. I usually use designs from the Cricut Design app. The below is the design I used to create a party popcorn bowl. I decided to use the color blue because that’s my boys’ favorite color.

After I choose the design, I added the Smart Vinyl -Permanent (3ft) to my Cricut light grip 12×12 mat, and then let the Cricut Explore 3 start cutting. Once it was finished, I started to cut my transfer tape. I tried to make the tape the same size as the vinyl, just because I wanted to make sure that I didn’t miss any of the letters once I transferred them to the bowl. You’ll need transfer tape so you can transfer the vinyl. The transfer tape size that I’m using is 75 ft, but Cricut has other sizes as well. Plus, you can reuse the transfer tape (That’s actually one of my favorite parts about this project).

Once I cut the transfer tape, I put it to the side and started to weed the vinyl. Weeding is when you remove the unnecessary vinyl from the cut design. Then I put the transfer tape right onto the vinyl. I used an XL scraper to smooth out the bubbles. After that, I put the transfer tape on the popcorn bowl and remove it. The letters transferred smoothly onto the bowl.

We had such a great time creating memories together. The boys are already asking me to make more props with my Cricut Explore 3. This machine is smarter and faster than ever. My project took me less than 30 minutes to complete. I can’t wait to share with you all what else I create. In the meantime, click here to purchase your Cricut Explore 3. Start creating more memories with your loved ones.

Happy 11th wedding anniversary to us! 💍 5 thing Happy 11th wedding anniversary to us! 💍
5 things that we’ve learned:

- As we get older, we change. It’s up to both of us to adjust to the change and be willing to accept the change. Change isn’t always bad. Change is good for growth! 

- There will be times when we can’t stand each other. It’s up to us to work through the situations and move on. Life is too short to be mad at the person you love. Sometimes it’s the pettiest thing that makes us can’t stand our partners, but marriage is a partnership. It will work if both of you want it to. 

- Never go to bed angry! That’s the worst because what usually happens is the situations continue to pile up. Think of it as a balloon. When you blow into the balloon, the balloon gets bigger and bigger to the point that it may pop. That’s the same thing when we’re angry with our partner. When you go to bed angry, you allow the anger to continue to build up. Then the situation explodes and it could’ve been resolved if you would’ve talked about it that night before it got worst. 

- If you fall out of love, work on falling back into love if you want your marriage to work. This is a team commitment. Sometimes we fall out of love if our partner. They may stop complimenting us. Sometimes you may feel unappreciated and it’s up to you to express how you feel to your partner and for you guys to work on those things. So you can feel loved again and remember why you fell in love with them. 

- Marriage isn’t always 50/50 and you should be ok with it. Sometimes you may be doing more than your partner. Sometimes your partner may be doing more than you and it’s ok as long as you guys work together to get things done. No marriage is perfect. It takes work. It takes commitment and it takes two people to make it work.

What’s one thing that you have learned in your marriage?

It’s something about watching a man (the head of the house) put things in order. My husband had a hard life growing up in Jamaica, but that doesn’t mean our children need to go through the same.

Generational trauma symptoms are low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, insomnia, anger, and self-destructive behaviors.  It’s important to break these cycles. Working through the hurts, pain, and healing from the past helps our children to not go through the same.

How are you breaking the cycle of generational trauma?
