How To Make Simple Labels with Cricut Joy

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.”

Maya Angelou

I have been doing DIY for a long time and I love keeping up with trends on how to make things easier, especially now as a busy working outside of the home mother. Creating beautiful things myself makes me that much more proud of beautiful creations around my home that I can display proudly. The Cricut Joy has been instrumental in creating beautiful projects in a matter of minutes with the use of the mighty machine and their smart label materials. Who doesn’t like simple DIY projects? At first when I was introduced to the Cricut Joy I was a bit apprehensive because I had never used the Cricut Joy, but now that I have and know how easy it is to use and how much time it saves in making things I’m annoyed that I waited so long to use one. If this is also how you feel, I’m here to tell you that once you use the Cricut Joy once, you won’t want to look back because this little machine makes a great impact. Stay tuned while I show you how to create simple labels with Cricut Joy.

Once you have your precious Cricut Joy, the next step I recommend is downloading Cricut Design Space onto your phone or computer. This Cricut Joy app is the companion app for the Cricut . I love that you can create your templates and designs from scratch here or use thousands of predesigned templates to start creating. I recommend browsing different labels to see if the label designs you had in mind have already been created. This will save you some time because if they have you can simply select the design and customize. DIYer win, am I right?

One of my favorite label material is the: Smart Label Writable Vinyl White labels are the look that I go for often. The great things are when using this material is that you can write, cut, peel and stick. It doesn’t get any easier friends!

My favorite product for simple labels!

The labels that I typically use call for the Cricut Extra Fine Point Pens . I love using this pen for labels. You can easily insert this pen into the Cricut Joy or you can write directly onto the labels once they are cut from the machine. The one thing that I recommend is when you choose the labels that you want to create , Design Cricut Space will let you know what materials you need, so that you are prepared right off the bat.

I recommend purchasing a few of these for your crafting.

Don’t underestimate this little machine, it’s quite mighty and can create some beautiful labels for you!

I love using the Smart Label Writable Paper when creating labels for my kitchen. This paper gives me the farm chic feel and it goes perfect with my kitchen pantry organization. Another great product that is super simple to use. I use this paper and the Vinyl quite often when creating labels. Highly recommend using both of those for everyday labels if they fit your style.

I love using this Smart Paper Stick Cardstock material when organizing my craft closet, garage and playroom. Something about this chalkboard vibe that really goes with those three spaces in our home. I love that it’s adhesive and it truly looks like a chalkboard background. With this material I do use it as a background label and attach the white vinyl on top of this material to give it the look that I’m going with for our home style.

The sticker cardstock is extremely helpful for labels!

It’s that easy to create simple labels. It takes me less than 5 minutes to create, load my material, remove and peel the labels.
