Diecuts!

Hi Everyone! So my long/regular posts will start from today, the past small ones were just to quickly post because I was busy but still wanted to have some posts on my craft site up for you guys. :) Also I will feature/show some eid cards that I made soon. But for today, I will be doing a post on diecuts! If your wondering hmm what are diecuts?? Well, they are pieces of paper/cardstock cut into shapes usually by some diecutting machine. Most crafters know about diecuts so its normal if you don't know what they are. Now below is a pic of a diecut that I cut using my cricut machine(which is a diecutting machine).

I love using diecuts because you can cut words or even a shape to use as the main focus of your card. Heres a pic of an example of a shape heart diecut below. My favorite part using shape diecuts is that you can use cute patterned paper. :)

Now if you don't have a diecut machine since they can be pricey, try using a stamp. Just stamp then cut out and you have a diecut! Below is a pic of a good example of a stamp set that you could use to make diecuts.

Now I hope you guys learned more about what diecuts are because I'm gonna be using them in the future a lot on my cards! If you have any tips or suggestions for posts or any other fun stuff you wanna see on CFWH, then remember to email me at craftingfunwithhamna@yahoo.com! That's it for now! Keep On Crafting!

Episode 36 - "Going To School!" Scrapbook Page

Hi Everyone! Hamna Here! So like I said a while back that I will do a video using the Cricut machine,here's the video! It took me 5-6 hours to film and edit this video so hope you all like it! It took LOTS of editing cuz it was actually half an hour long so I had to speed it up :) The video's below!


Hope you all liked the video and scrapbook page! It was actually my first time making a 12 by 12 scrapbook page on video since I don't make 12 by 12 scrapbook pages often. But I'm really getting in the mood to making some mini albums,scrapbooks and scrapbook pages, so wait for those soon inshallah! Tomorrow is actually the "1 year Craftiversary"! I will post the craft area tour tomorrow inshallah, cuz I know you all have been waiting to see where I craft! That's it for now! Keep On Crafting!

I bought it for $89.99 + $11 shipping = $101. So I'm sooo excited! I am trying to make an area in my craft area for the machine and I'm really busy with eid being tomorrow but InshaAllah after eid I will have some hauls cuz with my eidi money, cuz I will be headed to the craft stores! So my Cricut is going to arrive next week inshaAllah (8 days) so I'm waiting patiently! So below is a pic of the machine that I'm getting!

Cricut Machine!

Have I told you all about the cricut machine yet? If not, then this post is going to be all about the cricut machine! I might get it soon InshaAllah so that's why I'm showing you all it can do! It's basically a machine that cuts paper of all kinds of shapes and sizes! You put in your paper/cardstock and then select you image and then the size ect... and it will start cutting! Here is a pic below of the machine! It is actually the original cricut, there's a cricut expression which is a bigger kind of machine but I'm getting the original cricut machine InshaAllah!

Here is where I got the pic from http://www.provocraft.com/products/detail.php?cl=cricut&scl=machine&item=29-0001 and it will tell you alot about this amazing machine so check it out cuz even I can't explain/type that much! Below is a pic of the cricut expression which is the new version but it's too expensive so I won't be able to get that but I will be getting the original one which works the same!

Here is the link for where I got the pic for the cricut expression http://www.overstock.com/guides/cricut-buying-guide

Isn't it amazing how it can cut different shapes and sizes?!?! I'm so excited to craft with it! Well that's it for now! Keep On Crafting!
