How To: Holiday Crafts With Cricut Joy

 Hey Y'all!

For this blog I decided to do our Christmas gift tags! There were so many holiday  crafts in Design Space, but with limited space and time until the holiday, gift tags sounded perfect!

Supplies:

Cricut Joy

Cricut Joy Pens, I only have a few so I had to modify colors.

Cricut Joy Smart Paper-Sticker Cardstock Pastel

To do the gift tags, I chose these images:

I then chose a font to add the names, and sized the tags down to fit within the Joys parameters:

Using the images from Cricut access made this especially easy.

Once the design work was done, I switched over to my phone to connect to the Joy. (My laptop has Bluetooth, and sometimes I like to work in Design Space from there, however I like to cut from my phone.)

This material size had to be set, at 13in. It's a smart material, so no mat is needed.

What the screen prompt looks like, for tool changes:

You'll know when it's time because the machine will stop and the screen on your device will alert you to change the tool.

All done:

This project from start to finish, plus blog writing took about an hour and 30min. Most of that time was waiting for the draw portion of the job to be done, and I did other tasks in the craft room during that time.

Ready to go when wrapping is done!
