What Can You Do with a Cricut Joy?
Hey fellow crafters! Are you considering buying a Cricut Joy but not quite sure what you can do with it? I’m gonna share some of my favorite ways to use my Cricut Joy—the handy little machine on the go. Let’s dive into the cool things you can do with it!
1. Make Personalized Cards
Who doesn’t love getting a handmade card? With the Cricut Joy, you can whip up beautiful, custom cards for any occasion. Birthday parties, weddings, baby showers—you name it. Just pick a design, grab some cardstock, and let your Cricut Joy work its magic. Trust me, your friends and family will be blown away by your creativity.
2. Create Vinyl Decals
Want to add a personal touch to your stuff? The Cricut Joy can cut vinyl decals that you can stick on pretty much anything—water bottles, laptops, car windows, you name it.
When using Smart Materials, the Cricut Joy can cut designs up to 120 cm (48 inches) long and 11.4 cm (4.5 inches) wide. If you’re not using Smart Materials and are instead using a cutting mat, the maximum cutting size is 15.2 cm by 11.4 cm (6 inches by 4.5 inches).
3. Custom Gift Tags
Add a personal touch to your presents with custom gift tags. Whether it’s for birthdays, holidays, weddings, or any special occasion, you can create beautifully designed tags that perfectly complement your gifts. Use cardstock to cut out intricate shapes and add personalized messages. It’s a fun and easy way to add a lot of charm to your gift-giving!
4. Create Unique Party Decorations
Throwing a party? Use the Cricut Joy to create custom decorations that will impress your guests. From cupcake toppers to confetti and party favors, you can make your party truly unique.

The Cricut Joy is a versatile tool that opens up a world of creative possibilities, despite its compact size. If you find yourself needing to tackle larger projects, you might want to consider upgrading to the Cricut Maker 3 or the Cricut Joy Xtra, which can cut bigger designs.
