Looking to create some magic this Christmas? My blogging friends have what you’re looking for! Choose from 14 festive holiday makes in the 2021 Holiday Showcase! It’s time to get your fa la la on, grab your craft supplies, and pull up a hallmark movie to watch as you craft- because It’s Christmas time!

Tis the Season to Craft- With These Holiday Projects for Cricut Crafters

Crafting and Christmas is just a gimme- we love to make things for others. And the holidays present an opportunity like none other (get what I did there? 😂) All puns aside, these holiday craft projects are all really well done and I’m hoping they’ll inspire you to create a little joy this season.
