Cricut Joys of the Season Tag 12 Days of Christmas DAY ONE GIVE AWAY
Created with Cri-Kits gel pens & Stickles
Isn’t that a pretty tag? I’m putting it on one of my daughter’s gifts…if I can’t finagle a way to get it on one of mine, LOL! I used the Cri-Kits gel pens to help me make a colored outline on Stampin’ Up white vellum cardstock.
I used my Gypsy to help me hide and unhide different pieces of this image which is from the Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge. With the red berries hidden, I used a green Cri-Kits gel pen to draw the leaves. Next, I hid the leaves and showed the berries. I then replaced the green Cri-Kits gel pen with the red one to draw the red berries. After I was finished drawing, I replaced the gel pens with the Cricut blade. I then cut only the outside of the ornament. Ta Da!!
I used a vellum adhesive to attach the vellum to some textured foil paper. The vellum adhesive I used didn’t do a good job of hiding the glue. Oh well, next time I’ll use something else. 😉 I thought it would be pretty to use some Stickles glitter glue to fill in the lines I created with the Cri-Kits gel pens. This is just another way the pens can be used.
I love that the Cri-kits gel pens can create pictures, words AND also create a color coded template for me to follow. COOL!
Here are the things I used to create this tag. Not shown are my Gypsy, Cricut, American Crafts foil cardstock and vellum cardstock.

Joy….that is so totally cute! Where did you get the green/white and red/white string? And where do you find vellum cardstock? Thank you for the chance to win these awesome items 🙂
Superjoy, I think you’re fantastic! I love using my Cri-Kits too, in fact I use them so much that I have completely run out of black, silver metallic, silver glitter, dark green metallic and red metallic – hopefully you may take pity and select me (and be willing to send to Australia…. – one can only hope!!)
Great project – just wonderful!

that is so cute. They pens are awesome!
Everytime I see a project done with Cri-Kits products I am more amazed. I would love to win this. P.S. Make a bunch of tags up, write To Joy, From (family member) and leave them out in the open with a sticky note that has a wish list item on it. That way you hopefully get your wish list items and you get the tags on your presents. 😉
this is something I’m dying to try with my Cricuit!
How cute! I just might try this if I win!!! TY!
Wow, those are so cute~
I have yet to purchase any of the pens or markers. Would be super awesome to win them.

Super Sweet!! I love it. Love the colors. One question where can I get the spools of twine. I love them!!! Great Job Joy! Love it! Thanks for sharing.
You never cease to amaze me!!! Excellent tag!
Happy 1st Day of Christmas 🙂
What a cute tag. Thanks for sharing. I’ve never seen cri kits pens. I would also like to know where you got the green/white & red/white twine. Looking forward to all the posts.
Great idea. I had no idea that these pens existed! Thank you.
Cute tag! I’ve not tried the cricut pens. I might have to get some to play with.
Sure wish I had a set of these pens!! Love what you create!! Thanks for sharing your inspiration!
I have those pens on my Christmas List. I can’t wait to use them.
WOW ! You really are enabling me to get these cri-kits pens. This is really cute.

Super cute! I love how you show different functions on the gypsy! Makes me want to buy one!
Super cute! I have been so busy that I missed all of November 🙁 Hopefully December will be better. Thanks for all of the wonderful ideas!!
Hi Joy! I love that you use many different techniques freely, and remind us that we can “hide” and recut or redraw with our Gypsy or Design Studio software. I always forget about that feature!!! It’s a rainy day here so I’m going to get to spend time in the Craft Loft and will definitely try this idea!
Super giveaway! Love what those gel pens can do! Love your blog, Joy!
Very cute! Will have to think more about the template approach, especially since you’ve already enabled my addiction to Stickles. 😉 Thanks for another great giveaway. Happy December!
Wonderful idea, love the ornament
I have made ornaments just like that , they are on my tree. I love them, I have 5 more to make today.
Thanks for sharing.
Your tag is too cute, thanks for sharing and for the great give away.
Another great post, Joy! As always, of course.
Love this. I thought at first it was a Christmas card, so I may use that idea for some. Thanks again for sharing your talent with us.
Love the ornament Joy, very cute!
Very cute. I know someone who would LOVE those pens!
Love the ornament. I made some similar to that yesterday. I’m scraplifting the button idea, love it. TFS
awww… i love it and u have finally convinced me to buy stickles! i hope to win the pens b/c i’ve been experimenting with crayola pip-squeaks minis but i need something that would create a skinnier line *fingers crossed*
Love the gift tag, very cute. I like trixsey52’s idea for a christmas card. the ideas are flowing.
Great tag! And great giveaway too!!!!
That is really neat, I have never seen these before-These things for the cricut keep amazing me! Thanks for the wonderful ideas
Cute tag. You’re so creative. Have these pens on my christmas list. Thanks for the chance to win.
I really like the tag you made for your daughter. I love my Cricut Expression I am still getting used to it. TFS Susan
Joy,
I love your tag.
Thanks for the chance at winning and thanks to Cri-kuts

Oh dear, another thing to learn with my newly purchased Criuct! I would love to win these and give a whirl! Thank to you and Cricut for the chance to win.
Very cute!! Love the button added to it.
Whoo hoo!!! Joy’s 12 Days of Christmas is finally here. I have really been looking forward to this day and the next 11. This day certainly did not disappoint, I really love this idea. I would love to win these pens, but if I don’t, they will be on top of my Christmas list. The hide feature on the Gypsy is also a great feature.
Great tag! TFS Can’t wait for tomorrow!
What an AWESOME giveaway! These pens are something I desperatly want, but no one buying for me is of the sort to get online to buy them 🙁 so I would love to win them and not have to wait. Too bad I was suckered in and bought myself 3 new carts already from the black friday deals LOL!
I love the fact that I could do this without a gypsy…just wouldn’t be able to colorcode it like you did! Thanks for the great idea!
What a cute tag. I have been looking at the cri-kuts for awhile now, I will just have to add them to my wish list. Thank you for all the cute ideas and for a chance to win.
