Project Inspiration

Meet the Maker.

Create a unique Father’s day gift for dad, and while you’re at it make the gift box too. Lolly Ludlow inspires us with this unique gift

I joined the Cricut family in 2022 after longing to be part of it for the longest time. Despite lacking traditional painting or drawing skills, Cricut provided me with a much-needed creative outlet, making me feel like a pro in no time. I love taking existing projects and putting my own spin on them, like transforming a fire extinguisher cabinet into a beautiful gift box for Dad. My Gran’s words inspired this project: “The packaging is just as important as the gift”
