I have said it before and I will say it again, there is nothing more rewarding than personalized gifts. Whether it has the recipients name, birth stone color, or one of the things they love most. Being able give someone a present that is original to them just feels so much more precious.
Because I have a Cricut Joy on my side I am able to create personalized gifts, ornaments, gift tags, t-shirts, and so much more! Which is exactly what I have been up to!
Every year we host my family for Christmas and participate in Secret Santa. This year I decided to disguise my handwriting by making the gift tags with my Cricut Joy. I was able to select the perfect font, vinyl color, and design before cutting and applying it to my tags.
I used these metal tags as my base for the gift tags. Then I cut my vinyl and applied it to the tags. Afterwards I fancied them up with gift wrap cord, ribbon, bells, and beads. They are the perfect topper for each of my Secret Santa gifts and the recipients will never know it was me!
While I was crafting for Christmas with my Joy I decided to also make some new ornaments for our trees. Using these burlap ornaments I had on hand I added some Christmas designs to the front to dress them up. Now they are more holiday themed and match our decorations better than before.
I also used shiplap rounds I created some custom ornaments to give out to each of my family members. For the design I added their last name, first letter of their last name, and the year on the bottom. This gives each of them something special to add to their tree at home and remember the year with.
Lastly, I grabbed unfinished rectangle blocks, stained them, and added simple holiday/winter themed words for a simple but festive design. If you wanted to you could add your family members names and use these as stocking tags!
I hope I have inspired you with a few ways to use your Cricut to gift your loved ones this holiday season!
