Hi Community!
Monday’s back again. It’s Valentine’s week.
A lot of members have been saying it in different ways, but the message feels pretty clear. Love comes in many forms, and all of them count. Romantic, friendly, creative, quiet, shared, or made by hand. Love really is one of the important answers.
Let’s take a look at what the community was up to last week.
New Faces and Fresh Starts
A warm welcome to @Franziska_Huber, who shared their very first project in the community, a Valentine’s Day lamp. A sweet and thoughtful way to jump in.
A rising star moment goes to @Nancy_Sierchio, who shared several projects last week. One that really stuck was Life Is Short, Make It Sweet | Set of Two Glasses. The way they described using them, sipping lemonade on the deck with friends, felt especially relatable and easy to picture.
Cute and Creative Makes
@esti_pi shared a Valentine’s Day take on a classic game with a Tic Tac Toe candy box. It’s not a design you see every day, which makes it even more fun.
@BellethehowtoGuru posted a very elegant 3D printed Valentine’s Day sign. Clean, balanced, and definitely worth bookmarking for design reference.
@Cory_Barger shared a Whole Latte Love DIY coffee mug. A playful theme that feels right at home in Valentine’s season.
What People Are Talking About
@Jackie_Christie asked a very real, hands on question about how to make new cutting mats less sticky. It’s the kind of issue many people run into during daily use. For anyone digging deeper, there’s also All About Those Cutting Mats by @BellethehowtoGuru and cleaning and maintenance tips for cutting machine mats shared by @Samantha_Bryant. If you have your own tricks, feel free to add them to the conversation.
@Jazmin_Borges shared a post walking through a connection issue with the iEngrave and how it was resolved: Ayuda para configurar mi iEngrave. It was great to see moderators and members working across languages to help solve the problem.
What the Team Has Been Working On
With Valentine’s Day getting closer, a group of members helped put together a tutorial roundup, sharing both inspiration and practical machine tips:
Made with Love | Valentine’s Craft Tutorials from the Community
@Jodie also shared a new Insight Hub topic asking a big, open question:
Beyond Today’s Heat Press | What Would You Create?
It’s a fun one to think about and a good excuse to imagine without limits.
Wishing everyone a warm and gentle week.
Hope you get to make something you enjoy, spend time with people you care about, or simply take a moment for yourself.
See you around the community.
