Are you interested in learning how to make gift tags on Cricut Joy? If yes, then you need to follow the steps I gave in this guide. This post will surely help beginner crafters create an amazing gift card using Cricut Joy.
I wanted to make this project because I received a comment from one of my readers on my blog. So, I decided to write a complete blog that covers the steps for making gift tags with Cricut. These easy-to-make gift tags won’t waste much time – rather, they will be fun to create.
Let’s join me on my journey, where I will take you through each step of making your own gift tags for birthdays or anniversary gifts. Get started with this beginner-friendly tutorial that will guide you to create wonderful gift tags on Cricut. Let’s take a look.
Before delving into how to make gift tags on Cricut Joy, here is what you need. I have mentioned the initial items that you will require to make a gift tag.
Below are the equipment and materials needed for this project:
Cricut Joy machine
Cricut Joy mat
cardstock or sparkle paper
Cricut Joy gel markers (or glitter gel markers)
After you have gathered these items, you need to follow the steps for making gift tags with Cricut.
So, you might wonder why I chose Cricut Joy. Why not Cricut Maker or Explore? Well, there are two reasons behind choosing a Cricut Joy. First, in the comment section, my reader wanted to make gift tags for this particular cutting machine. At the same time, the other reason is that it is a small and affordable machine, which can be a good start for beginners. Hence, I chose this machine.
Now, let’s follow the step-by-step process to make gift tags:
I did not create a new design from scratch. Rather, I preferred to choose it from a Design Space. Since I had a Cricut Access plan, I just added it from there. So, it’s up to you whether you want to make or add it from Cricut Access.
Here, I chose a snowman tag as I found it very cute. After inserting it into my Design Space, I duplicated it so that I could cut it out in two different ways.
You can edit the design and resize it as per your needs. Once done, move ahead. Further, if you encounter a pop-up asking you to select the way to load your materials, ensure you select the On Mat option.
Now, I have placed a cardstock piece of material on my Cricut cutting mat.
And it is ready to be cut.
Now, you need to click the Go button on your device. As you hit the Go button, it will start cutting your mat. Once cutting is done, your machine will automatically stop. Press the Unload on your device, such as a computer or iPad, to unload the mat.
Following the same steps again, I cut my sparkle paper as I love the shiny touch in my project.
Finally, after everything is cut, I assemble them together using glue. However, you can also use double-sided tape if you want.
Now, take a look at my final gift tag! Looks wonderful! No?

Answer: Well, gift cards can be made using any Cricut cutting machine. However, I always use my Cricut Joy as it is small, and I have to make small gift cards. So, in that case, Cricut Joy is apt. Otherwise, you can use any cutting machine that works properly.
