Get excited because our tour guides outdid themselves in designing these adventures! Below you’ll find the event schedule with photos of all the incredible projects.
Presentations will be LIVE for 24 hours starting at 9:00 AM EST the day they’re scheduled.
Adventures are more exciting when you’ve someone to share them with! So instead of a boring old schedule page, we decided to take you along on the journey by sharing our travel journal. Enjoy!
Dear Travel Journal,
Today we launched our creative road trip, and let me tell you—it was a first-class ticket to craft heaven.
The day started with the perfect finishing touch to our travel-themed outfit with Amy Romeu’s Faux Leather earrings. Then we were floating up, up, and away with Michelle from 12 x 12 Cardstock and her magical hot air balloon pop-up card. Next, Amanda DiNovo took us around the world with her vintage map decoupaged globe. It was the perfect mix of wanderlust and crafty magic. Totally gift-worthy, too!
For the next stop, Brandi Mahon showed us how to layer vinyl and resin into a dreamy travel-inspired art piece. It was part science, part sparkle, and ALL ADVENTURE!.
A quick stop for lunch and even that got a craft glow-up with custom engraved coasters that used sublimation acrylics & markers by yours truly.
Then it was back on the road, where Jennifer Maker made crafting on-the-go look SO easy with her Polaroid-style shadow box, & Jennifer Sanderson had us looking good as we went with a screen printed road trip bag.
Then, to wrap up today’s adventure, our 2025 Expedition Leader Mim Jenkinson showed us how to create our own planner stickers for future adventures. Let’s just say my planner is now officially the cutest thing in my suitcase!
“So excited to start the Cricut Adventure with Tour Guide Amy Romeu and this simple but fabulous faux leather project!”
“This little shadow box is the cutest way to frame a memory! And yes, I’m now completely convinced I need a Cricut Joy in my carry-on. It’s practically self-care!”
“This card is full of surprises! It looks simple on the outside, but open it up and BAM—instant party. The 3D balloon? Adorable. And those layered papers? Totally worth hoarding… I mean, crafting with.”
“For all those times you’re sitting on the beach and missing the one person who, if they were sitting next to you, would have made the moment perfect.”
“Layered paper projects are always a favorite, both because they’re so easy and the results are magical. And this is such an unusual size- it’s perfect to display on my bookshelf!”
“Who knew coasters could look this artsy cool? This combo of paint, press, and engrave made me feel like a mad scientist combining all the best techniques. And they’re definitely my favorite new “souvenirs.”
“Vintage maps + inspirational quotes = all the wanderlust feels. This project makes me want to spin a globe, pack a bag, and maybe decoupage everything I own while I’m at it.”
“Screen printing with vinyl? Yes, please. This workshop was a total game changer. Now I want to print custom bags for everyone I know (and maybe keep them all for myself).”
What adventurers like you have to say….
“Definitely worth the trip!”
“Five out of Four Stars!”
“These stickers are everything. Cute, functional, and dangerously fun to design.
Travel Warning Issued:: You may start planning trips just so you can make more of these stickers!.”
Dear Travel Journal,
Today was all about making this adventure personal—from customized mugs to sticker sheets, and even luggage that’s just as stylish as we are.
We started with Abbi Kirsten’s dreamy paper map roses—so pretty, I wanted to put them in every vase I own. Then my super awesome bestie Amy Romeu took us on a sublimation side quest with faux leather and Infusible Ink. Chic and crafty? Yes, please.
After a quick stop for coffee where I (Jen) admired their local souvenir mug options, I thought “hey!” We could TOTALLY make our own- so we took a little side excursion into Canva to design our own coffee mugs. Photos, fun fonts, and a printed mug either made by you OR delivered to your door? GENIUS!
Midday, we took a lunch break then Chelly Ontis had us pressin’, puffin’, and peelin’ with her metallic vinyl adventure tee. Instant favorite. Jamela Payne helped us level up with custom travel sticker sheets—now I want to sticker everything I pack.
Then Lucy Foxworth brought out the cutest mini camper—tiny, retro, and totally adorable. Jennifer Beal helped us personalize our luggage with vinyl designs that scream, “I’m crafty and I have arrived!” (Or alternately, “this bag is used to smuggle craft supplies…”)
To wrap up the day Kate Garfield showed us how to scrapbook summer sunshine, and Michelle Price wrapped the day with charming postage stamp postcards—layered, colorful, and so easy to love.
Edited to Add: Pretty sure my Cricut needs a passport at this point. She’s really out here living her best travel life.
“Ooh La La! These are giving me vintage romance meets globe-trotting vibes. Who knew old atlases could bloom into something so pretty? Perfect for home decor or a travel-themed bouquet!”
“If you’ve got a double case of both wanderlust and sticker-obsession, this adventure’s for you! I loved how easy Jamela made it to design, print, and cut a whole sheet of adorable travel stickers.”
“Now this is how you travel in crafty style! I loved learning how easy it is to add vinyl to luggage and tags—my suitcase officially has a glow-up. And seriously, how did I not think of this before???”
“So bright, so happy, so ready for sunshine! These layouts made me want to dig into my paper stash and relive every summer road trip all over again.”
“Cutest. Camper. Ever. I mean, this thing looks like a retro dream, and it’s the perfect size for my Cricut Cuties. I may need to make a whole paper campground.”
“These little layered postcards are adorable. Love the vintage stamp feel and the curved text lesson was an extra surprise. I definitely see some happy mail in my future!”
“Faux leather + Infusible Ink = a craft destination going on my “Must See” List for sure! This is such a fun twist on sublimation—and now I want to add a little inked-up flair to all of Amy’s faux leather fabulous projects!”
“Just press, puff, and peel? Love it! This shirt turned out so cool—and I don’t know why, but getting raised, puffy vinyl is oddly satisfying. I want to puff-ify everything now.”
“Okay, designing my own mug with photos and fun fonts? So much yes. And the fact that I don’t need a fancy mug press? Game. Changer. It’s the craftiest coffee break ever!”
Dear Travel Journal,
Today was all about the memories—capturing them, labeling them, wearing them, and maybe even tucking them into a tiny vintage suitcase.
We started with the cutest travel stories album with Carina Gardner. So many layers, flaps, and fun embellishments—I feel like I was scrapbooking my way through America, or Europe! We got a little bit practical for our next adventure as the ALWAYS “Extra” Emily Minor helped us shrink our toiletries and our stress levels with her genius mini medicine case. Plus, custom labels that make your bag look like a Pinterest board? Yes please.
Before long it was time for our coffee break, then Jenn Crookston brought the fun with DIY temporary tattoos. Whether it’s a cute design or a safety helper, you know I love the idea of having travel-themed tats!
After lunch, Stephanie Paxman wowed us with custom travel jewelry boxes. I mean, who doesn’t want their bling to travel in style? Note to self: These make great gift ideas for future trips!
And speaking of gifts, Gina Cortez taught us how to make the cutest little suitcase gift card holder. With its layered details and vintage stickers, I kind of want to carry it around and pretend I’m going somewhere fabulous!
Then at the end of the day, Sarah Edwards lit up the night (literally!) with her 3D Adventure in Nature lantern. The panels were so pretty, and it’s perfect for cozy adventure vibes at home.
OOPS! I almost forgot to mention today’s Bonus Excursions!
First, Creative Fabrica took us on an AI adventure, helping us create print then cut postcards that look like they came from one of those super cute souvenir shops.
And yours truly (Jen Swift) hosted a retro-style Procreate adventure, with bright and fun Travel Posters from around the world!
Edited to Add: If today taught me anything, it’s this: travel memories last longer when you add adhesive vinyl and cardstock.
“This album is next-level memory keeping! So many clever layers and little details. It’s like a travel scrapbook, and travel journal had a uber exclusive rendezvous at someplace fabulous.”
“Tiny bottles, custom labels, and packing tips? Yes, please! Emily had me wanting to organize my whole suitcase just so I could show off my cute labels.”
“These are SO fun! Whether you’re making matching vacay tattoos or little safety helpers for kids, this workshop had me itching (in a good way) to try them al!.”
“Adorable alert! This little vintage suitcase is perfect for gifting or just displaying because it’s that cute. The patterned lining was the cherry on top.”
“Such a cozy project! This lantern lights up your space and your travel memories. Loved the layered panels—each one felt like a mini travel destination.”
“The perfect blend of cute and practical! These little boxes are fun to personalize and make awesome gifts for any age!“
“Wow! I’m totally gob-smacked at how much is possible with AI! These postcards? Totally just a prompt. It’s actually crazy how easy it is to use Creative Fabrica’s AI tools to create something totally one-of-a-kind—and Cricut ready!”
“Drawing my own travel poster in Procreate? Yes, ma’am. This was such a fun way to remember my recent trips! And so easy in Procreate with my travel inspired Procreate Stamp Set!”
Dear Travel Journal,
Today was a little bit glitter, a little bit tropical breeze, and a whole lot of crafty adventure!
We kicked things off in the morning with a resin adventure! Betsy Smith’s travel shadow box is perfect for saving memories (and my spare change) for our next trip. Sparkly, practical, and SO display-worthy.
Then we boarded the cruise of cuteness with Debbie O’Neal and her printable cruise door magnets. Custom, colorful, and a fun way to find your cabin after too much buffet. Haha! Food coma’s are totally a thing on cruise ships! After that, Elena Anderson brought the tropical voyage vibes with a travel-poster inspired card that doubles as a keepsake.
Feeling refreshed after a mid-morning coffee break, Julia Groves kept us energized as she lifted us up (literally) with her 3D hot air balloon shadow box. Foam spacers and paper layers never looked so dreamy.
Lunch! Then, Kelly Rossouw helped us scratch that wanderlust itch with her reverse canvas scratch-off map. Decorative and interactive? Obsessed. Plus, I’m always a sucker for bucket lists, and this is the ultimate way to cross them off one by one!
To finish the day, AND our luggage! Laura Lambert showed us how easy it is to make no-sew faux leather luggage tags (that are almost too cute to check!)
PS: Today’s Bonus Excursions were AH MAZ ING!
First, Naomi Garcia stitched together the sweetest little felt busy book—adorable, easy, and perfect for keeping tiny travelers entertained. Then, EllyMae Habets helped us design a travel essentials bag that’s as stylish as it is functional in Silhouette Studio. In case you were wondering? Vinyl + packing tips = crafting win!
PPS: My suitcase is now organized, labeled, and fabulous.
“This one’s a keeper—literally. Whether it’s travel memories or spare change for your next trip, this resin shadow box is sparkly, personal, and just plain cool!”
“All aboard the cute boat! (haha like the love boat? Does anyone remember that show??) These magnets are perfect for cruise doors, and SO fun to personalize!”
“Part card, part keepsake, all sunshine. Loved the tropical vibe—and the fact that it works as a mini album too? Yes, please!”
“This one’s pure paper magic. Layers, foam spacers, and the cutest balloon design. It’s giving me those “ADVENTURE vibes” in the most adorable way. (And as the maker of the CCA logo, I’m totally in love!)”
“I’m such a sucker for these! Decor AND a way to track your travels? I’m in. Making one has been on my bucket list for SO LONG! I’m happy to scratch it off this Adventure! (Haha was that too punny?)”
“No sewing, all style! Laura always has the most stylish but simple-to-make projects. And no shame- these tags are the perfect excuse to add cute, crafty, and fabulous flair to every bag you own!”
“As a long time lover of Silhouette Studio and all its crazy cool possibilities, if you’re new to this software I always recommend Elly Mae host your first experience! She’s the go-to pro you’ll want to introduce you to this easy design program, that was created for cutting machine crafters.”
“So precious! And anything that keeps the kids busy on car trips is a winner (and must make) in my book (oh boy, the puns just keep coming now!!) But seriously, you’ll love this opportunity to craft with felt while making something cute and practical.”
Dear Travel Journal,
It’s the last day of our adventure, and we went out with a retro bang (and maybe a little puff and glitter!)
In the morning, Erin Reed kicked things off with vintage Polaroid-style magnets—tiny, fridge-ready memory keepers that I immediately made five of. Because obviously. Then Jennifer Stahr turned back time with her cassette tape mini album. Honestly, I kind of want to dig out my Walkman and mixed tapes!
Keeping with the retro-vibe, Katie Zetina had us spinning right round with her viewfinder-inspired card! It clicks, it spins, and it’s basically a tiny scrapbook that fits in your hand. So fun!
After a quick stop for some last-day travel snacks, Katie Adams kept us all entertained with dry erase travel board games. Four games, one Cricut mat, and zero “Are we there yet?” from the back seat. Genius! I am a little sad headed home though. But Tracey Lewis’ layered photo wall art has me looking forward to showcasing all our trip memories!
And can I admit yet that I’m already thinking of our next trip? Layne Dasher’s Travel Bucket List stickers may have added to that- they’re just so darn cute, and will look great in my travel journal/trip planner!
PS: I saved Bail Ansari’s Adventure into Laser Crafting (and Adobe Illustrator!) to watch on the car ride home! Her little coin collector is the cutest solution for all those leftover coins from your travels (or the ones you “accidentally” brought home- on purpose).
Wow, travel journal! I should have brought a second suitcase—just for all these memories we made.
Five days of adventures, dozens of projects, and one very full craft room later… we did it!
“Stickers to dream with? Yes please. These are perfect for planning, journaling, or just filling your planner with cuteness and future trip inspo!”
“Cardstock, HTV, and your own photos = instant keepsake.I’m picturing a wall of travel frames like this for all my favorite trips.”
“No more “I’m bored” or “are we there yet?” on road trips! These dry erase games are reusable, fun, and perfect for kids (or let’s be honest, adults too!)”
“Hmmm… retro inspired, crafty, giftable AND it uses photos? This hits all the right vibes in one super simple AND FUN project!”
“I’m such a sucker for anything Polaroid. These are tiny, fridge-ready travel memories. And because they’re SO easy to make I kind of want to fill my entire fridge door!”
“This one is pure nostalgia! It looks like a cassette, but opens up to hold 30+ photos. Totally rad, totally adorable, and surprisingly easy to make.”
“WOW! I had no idea how versatile laser crafting could be. And I’m super glad I watched this handy resource from Bail. Before this I didn’t know what I didn’t know. If you know what I mean!”
“I remember peering through the oven door to watch my project shrink as one of those magical moments as a kid. So fun to have Megan bring it back!”
Amy and I (Jen) hope you’re enjoyed reading this and that you’re loving the Cricut Crafting Adventure so far!
Thank you for taking this trip with us. Adventures really are better together, so we’d love to see YOU in our Traveler’s Facebook Group!
