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.

Great idea…love how you used the Gypsy in this project. I used my Cricut markers for the 1st time this weekend. I drew hearts, rectangles, and flames for my 3rd grade CCD children to cut out to make paper Advent wreaths. I loved being able to use my Cricut and Gypsy to do this. And I’d love to try the Cri-Kits pens too…so many possibilities!! Thanks for the chance!

Your ornament is so cute. Love how you remind me that Joys of the Season has some perfect cuts. It’s not always about the latest cart. Thank you for the chance to win Cri-Kuts. I love the the pen and holder. It is so easy to use.

My house is covered in teeny, tiny folded, enveloped gift cards … yours is so much smarter! 🙂
I can’t imagine where you find the time for your projects and your blog and your giveaways, but we’re certainly glad you do!
I just found your site and am loving the ideas. Thanks for sharing. I’m going to look so much more clever when I use your ideas in my crafting!
I don’t think the vellum needs to hide the glue, it gives it a very pretty background! Love these ornaments, so clever!
So cute! I love Gel Pens!
