Hey there creators! 

This blog is a continuation of our mother's day edition. I have decide to make something for our dear mothers who love books or magazines. I know there a lot of mothers out there who reads during their free time. I am happy to share these experiences to crafters and viewers. I hope you'll learn some tricks and apply it to your projects as well, may it be with or without the cricut machine. 

First and foremost, this is the end product. 

Hey there. I am happy to be back! It was a while that I created something. 

This is my first time making a coaster (dut: onderzetter) and I've decided to make one for mother's day (dut: moederdag). 

Maybe all of you are wondering how did I come up with this?

First of all I bought these wood.

Starting your own business can sometimes be terrifying, but is also challenging and a fun process.

One of the things that needs to be done is making your own business cards. It is indeed possible, if you have the specific type of paper and the printer at home. You don't need to go to the printing shop, although it is easy to let someone print it for you, but if you are the type of person who wants to save money. Then try printing at home. 

You just need to buy these 4 types of paper and make sure you have enough ink in your printer. 

1. Glossy Card Stock

The main reason I purchased the Canon TS6351a is for photo printing. With my hobby as a crafter, I love using pictures or symbols to create projects with the use of my cutting machine (which is explained on another blog). 

Having this printer, I can already print loads of good quality pictures without the need to go to the store. As a matter of fact, this saves me time and money.

So, I first tested it by printing pictures of my son (who just turned 2 years old).

• I used the HP Advance Photo Paper 10x15 cm which I bought on amazon. 
• I placed then the photo paper at the back drawer. Note: Photo papers need to be placed at the back and not on the drawer where normal papers should be.
• I changed the settings of my printer. Note: You need to change the type of paper (in this case, glossy photo paper) and how would you like it to be printed, color or black and white (in this case, color). 
• I also used the Canon Easy-Photoprint Editor software, to try on different styles and,
• Voila! With just one click from the software, I got these results which is very satisfying. I am so happy it turned out more than what I expected as a first try. 

Honestly, I was a bit nervous of how the outcome would look like. Gladly, it turned out as perfect as my son.
