Craft Tutorial List

This is a list of all my craft tutorials.  That basically means everything that isn’t a card. But don’t let that fool you.  A lot of these projects can be made into cards or be embellishments for cards.  And some of them can’t. But these craft tutorials also teach luminaries, paper flowers and ornaments along with all sorts of crafts.

Just click on the read more button to see the whole tutorial.  Download links are included inside each project.  I don’t do as many crafts as I would like.  But I am always adding more so keep an eye on this list.

So pick what looks interesting and enjoy.  If you have any questions you can post a comment below, email me, or post the question at my Facebook Group, The Crazy Cricut Lady Group..
