Last May, Cuff opened her storefront on Commonwealth Avenue in Mount Pearl to help other crafters get their materials. Although she does consider this her passion project, it's not her full-time gig, as she works in human resources at Eastern Health. Cuff adds that the machine is very user-friendly and it's easy for anyone to get into. There are classes and tutorial videos for those to get their toes wet.As she dove deeper into her creations, friends and family saw what she was capable of and would ask her to do pieces for them. That's when Cuff saw a niche and realized this type of crafting could be more than just a personal hobby.

The success of her page and her products helped Cuff get to where she is today with her very own storefront that represents all things in crafting. She says her business has directly served 2,000 people. The many more options Duggan mentions are due to the fact he believes the Cricut is limited in its functions.
