Start Here

Welcome

If you’re new to cutting machines or digital crafting, you’re in the right place.

Go Create Craft is designed to help you understand your tools, develop practical skills and build confidence in your creative process.

Whether you use a Brother ScanNCut, Cricut or Silhouette machine, the aim here is simple: clear guidance, thoughtful projects and techniques you can apply straight away.

You don’t need to know everything before you begin.

Just start where you are.


How This Site Works

The tutorials and projects on Go Create Craft are organised into four core learning areas.

Each one focuses on a different part of the creative process.

You can explore them in any order, but many beginners find it helpful to start with cutting machines, then move into colour techniques and, finally, mixed craft.


1. Cutting Machines

Learn how to use your machine with confidence.

This section focuses on the practical side of digital crafting:

• blade depth and pressure settings
• preparing designs for cutting
• troubleshooting common problems
• using design software

If you’re struggling with torn cardstock, incomplete cuts or confusing settings, this is the best place to begin.


2. Colour & Techniques

Once your cutting is working well, colour brings your projects to life.

Here you’ll find tutorials covering:

• ink blending
• watercolour backgrounds
• stencils and texture
• pencil and marker colouring

These techniques are designed to be adaptable so you can experiment and make them your own.


3. Albums & Layouts

Structure is the secret to projects that feel balanced and intentional.

This section focuses on:

• scrapbook page layouts
• mini albums
• design templates
• organising photos and embellishments

You’ll learn how to create layouts that look thoughtful and cohesive without complicated measurements.


4. Mixed Craft

Creativity rarely fits into neat boxes.

This section explores projects that combine different materials and techniques, including:

• paper and fabric
• mixing digital and traditional crafting
• craft experiments
• seasonal projects

It’s the space where ideas come together.

Final Encouragement

Creative confidence grows with practice, but first you have to get it out of the box!

Take your time. Try new techniques. Adapt projects to suit your style.

The goal isn’t perfection. It’s understanding your tools and enjoying the process.

Start exploring, and see where your creativity takes you.
