🤯 Wait, you can do what?!

It feels like magic... no gatekeeping.

Hey friends,

First off — Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, bonus moms, grandma helpers, exhausted-in-the-thick-of-it moms, and mother figures here 🥰

Whether your day looks peaceful, chaotic, sticky, beautiful, emotional, or some combination of all of the above… I hope you feel appreciated today.

To celebrate, I made you a little freebie 🎁

I challenged myself to create a Mother’s Day SVG in under ONE minute using ChatGPT and… honestly? I’m kind of amazed at how easy this stuff is becoming.

And because I know some of you are curious how this actually works, I shared the exact prompt + screenshot above of exactly how I made it so you can try it too.

Want to know how to convert your results to a SVG? Watch this training and if yours is black and white like this one then just use the default brightness cutoff method that shows up when you go to Path > Trace Bitmap in Inkscape.

Then you can use AI to create a mockup for it and you have a product ready to sell in under 5 minutes! (bonus tip: you can even ask AI for help creating a listing optimized for Etsy SEO to sell). Walk through it all step-by-step in our course.

Honestly, this whole “describe what you want and AI helps build it” thing has sent me down a rabbit hole lately.

Which brings me to something slightly wild…

I recently discovered something called vibe coding.

Basically, instead of knowing how to code, you describe an app or website idea in plain English (“I wish there was a tool that…”), and AI helps you actually build it.

And as someone constantly hearing frustrations like:

• “Why doesn’t this tool exist?”

• “I wish I could just…”

• “There HAS to be an easier way…”

…I immediately thought of you guys.

To show you just how simple it is, in just 15 minutes, I built something for the Lovable x Wispr Built for Moms challenge.

I made Where To Go Today — a crowdsourced calendar for busy moms of little kids to quickly find things happening today nearby (or add events they hear about in one click). Less Groundhog Day feeling, more sanity-saving, memory-making moments.

And I would LOVE your vote (simply visit the link and ❤️ Vote button)

But honestly, the bigger reason I’m sharing this is because I think some of you could build really cool things too.

Imagine:

✨ A better SVG organizer
✨ A Cricut troubleshooting helper
✨ A mockup generator for Etsy sellers
✨ A tool that fixes one super annoying Design Space problem
✨ Something completely unrelated to crafting that just makes life easier

You don’t need to be a coder anymore to test ideas.

If you want to play around with it, you can try Lovable free here using my referral link:

My advice: try it out for free by clicking the button above and you can get 5 free credits per day (capped at 30/mo on free accounts). If you’re hooked and want to do more? You can sign up for a lite plan for just $5/mo to get 5 free credits every day or $25/mo to get 100 credits per month + 5 free/day.

😲 Want to see what I’ve been creating? No gatekeeping here.

I built CutFinder with this same tool and…

Here’s my latest creation I’m super proud of called WantToLoveIt that helps you cut through all the Instagram noise and actually find wardrobe staples you’ll wear again and again (to get the best ROI on your purchases).

Simply put in your favorite influencer’s profile (e.g. bychloewen) and see what items they wear the most! Fascinating, right?!

Then you can visit https://wanttoloveit.com/overlap to see what are the most worn items across all creators (just ordered these pants because of it!)

🙌 Want to support? I’d looooove if you click the Pin to Pinterest button on https://wanttoloveit.com/overlap or the creator results you search to help share about this new tool. I would SO appreciate it!

And now I’m genuinely curious…

Comment or hit reply: What Cricut/SVG problem (or honestly ANY everyday problem) would you want solved if you could magically build something?

Who knows… maybe one of you builds the next thing we’re all obsessed with 😉
