Weekly Update 78 | Crafts with Character, Tips with Personality

Hello community!

A new week begins, and last week was a lively one. From new challenges and useful product discussions to lots of shared projects, there was plenty happening in the feed. Let’s take a look.


:star2: What the Team Shared

With the World Cup getting closer, @Jodie launched the #SportyCraft Challenge. Bring your sports-themed crafts and join in for a chance to win a $100 gift card.

After the A100 Auto Multi Heat Press was introduced, quite a few people started asking: would it be a good fit for me? This post takes a closer look:
Who is A100 really for?


:speech_balloon: What Everyone’s Talking About

@Samantha_Bryant started two fun discussions recently:
Funny Community Tip Swap and Auto Press Owners, Let’s Be Honest. Both are easy to jump into, especially if you enjoy those “wait, that’s totally me” crafting moments.

@Cory_Barger shared a helpful explanation of kerf loss in laser engraving. Understanding this concept can really help make laser-cut projects cleaner and more precise.


:scissors: What’s Been Shared

A big shoutout to @Alexandra_Torres, @shirleycobb, and @Nancy_Sierchio, who have been sharing lots of recent projects. Feel free to visit their profiles and take a look.

There were also some beautifully creative works in the feed.

@redhada shared a Star Wars-inspired Long Live The Empire Toiletry Pouch Bag, and honestly, it’s so cool.

@Cory_Barger created The Bride’s Heirloom Clutch using cherry wood, laser engraving, and precision cutting. The detailed floral patterns make it feel elegant and lasting.

Another creator with a real talent for laser engraving is @okieladybug, who shared these practical and clever Drink Packet Holders. Definitely a nice reference if you enjoy functional handmade pieces.


There’s always something fun about seeing projects with so much personality in the feed. A Star Wars pouch, a cherry wood clutch, a clever drink packet holder, and all those little tips and habits that only crafters truly understand.

If something caught your eye this week, jump into the thread and let the maker know. That’s part of what keeps the community feeling alive.

See you in the feed this week.

Thanks for another wonderful update, Olivia! There definitely were some beautiful creations shared last week. I enjoy seeing everyone’s creativity on display. I’m hoping to get all of my studio together this week. I’ll just have to go digging around in my storage unit for some important boxes that were supposed to come to the house but ended up being placed way up high and in the back of my unit. Going to try to make the climb today. Wish me luck, y’all! Have a fantastic week, my friends! :heart:
