All opinions are 100% mine.
As lifelong crafters wed often dream about turning our creative skills into a viable business.
Were grateful to Cricut for inviting us to shareour journey to becoming entrepreneurs.
Yep, they owned a small business calledWoodpecker Craftsin which they sold beautiful, handmade wood creations.
As we grew older and the demands at their workplace increased our parents closed down their small business.
But all this time weve had that entrepreneurial spirit within us and had imagined re-starting a craft shop.
But what would it be?
So here we were interested in starting a business together but not quite knowing where to start.
Around the same timePinterest(follow us there!)
As lifelong craftists, we too believed we had ideas to share.
And hence, Sustain My Craft Habit was born!
But we quickly discovered a whole world of like-minded creative individuals to share our ideas with.
In those early stages, I think we would have been hard-pressed to consider ourselves as entrepreneurs.
We were at that time simply making things that we loved and sharing them with the world.
However, we started to notice that people were asking some of the same questions over and over.
This inspired us to openan Etsy shopand add beach stones to the product line.
Similarly, some of ourcoastal-inspired projects and craftswere getting more and more popular.
After offering these patterns, people started asking whether we had SVG file versions available.
We had seen some of our fellow blogging friends usingtheir Cricut machinesto make all sorts of gorgeous products.
But we hadnt had any experience with it ourselves.
So we began experimenting with offering SVG files for our patterns.
Growing our Business with Cricut
Owning theCricut Makerhas been transformative in our business.
Weve previously written about the ways in whichthe Cricut Maker can support your small business.
But specifically, once we started offering the SVG files in our Etsy shop, sales grew!
And this motivated us to keep creating new patterns.
Dont get us wrong, we went through quite the learning curve and were still learning!
Its likeWoodpecker Craftshas finally been reborn!
you could learn how to make your ownelegant debossed product tagsusing the Cricut Maker.
As with crafting, we see it as weaving together a solid business to make something beautiful.
It has taken time, patience, learning and adapting along the way.
But it is so worthwhile to be crafting a life of dreams every day.
Thank you so much toCricutfor support and helping to enable our creative dreams and business.
Pin it for later!
