Create Handwritten Labels with Cricut

38 · Mar 28, 2017 · Leave a Comment

LOVE THE LOOK OF HANDWRITTEN LABELS BUT, YOU’RE NOT IN LOVE WITH YOUR HANDWRITING? NO WORRIES, CRICUT HAS COME TO THE RESCUE! Handwritten label by Cricut. Get that perfect look for your home weather it's; industrial labels, farmhouse labels or modern labels. You can achieve that perfect "handwritten" look even if you don't have great hand writing with the Cricut using your favorite handwritten fonts.

My Handwritten Labels Project

Did you know that you can WRITE with your Cricut along with cutting out cute labels? I put the Cricut markers to the test and created an easy to follow video to show you how to create some simple industrial style labels that everyone loves right now. Here’s what inspired this project…

I have become obsessed with herbal tea this winter. My husband and I would share a mug of tea every night before bed to warm ourselves before hitting the hay. We started with one flavor of tea, Camomile, and over the chilly months we started collecting all kinds of new flavors. Soon our collection of herbal tea started to take over our kitchen and I decided that it was time to find a better storage solution for our new found tea love. I found a great industrial style cabinet that fit perfect in our kitchen and loaded it up with all of our tea.

The next step was to create some labels for our new tea storage solution. Because the cabinet was an industrial style cabinet I wanted to create some industrial looking labels that were handwritten. The problem… I’m not a huge fan of my hand writing. I was just not blessed with that gift, nor do I have the time to practice, practice, practice. I remembered that my Cricut Explore Air 2 has a great “handwritten” option using the Cricut Explore Pens.Handwritten label by Cricut. Get that perfect look for your home weather it's; industrial labels, farmhouse labels or modern labels. You can achieve that perfect "handwritten" look even if you don't have great hand writing with the Cricut using your favorite handwritten fonts.

Handwritten Labels Inspiration

This is such a simple beginner project that anyone, at any creative level can create for their home with their Cricut machine. For this industrial style label, I kept things simple. I really only needed a “handwritten” tea name with a rectangle cut around it… Pretty basic. However, you can create all kinds of great “handwritten” labels with fancy shapes as well. I created a Label Design Pinterest board with some inspiration for all kinds of fun “handwritten” labels that you can make with the Cricut Explore Air 2.

How to Make Handwritten Labels Video

With all of that inspiration you have to be chomping at the bit to get started. I created a simple, easy to follow video to show you exactly how to make these basic handwritten labels for a storage solution in your home. Grab a cup of tea, sit back and learn how to make your own labels.

Tips & Tricks for Handwritten Labels

"Handwritten" label by Cricut. Get that perfect look for your home weather it's; industrial labels, farmhouse labels or modern labels. You can achieve that perfect "handwritten" look even if you don't have great hand writing with the Cricut using your favorite handwritten fonts. Here are a few tips & tricks that I learned along the way.

  • STOP and think about your end game. What style are you looking to create with your handwritten labels? Make sure you are selecting fonts that pair well with that design concept. If you are going for an industrial look, you aren’t going to use a font that is more shabby chic. If you have a farmhouse style in your home, you aren’t going to select a modern style font and so on.
  • When working within Cricut Design Space, don’t forget to ATTACH your layers before you send your design to your machine. We go over this in the video so make sure you check that out before you get started.
  • The Cricut Design Space makes it super easy to tell the difference between a handwritten layer and a cut layer in your label design. Keep and eye on the icons to tell the difference between the layers. (HINT… I cover this in the video.)
  • USE your Cricut tools! I’m always wanting to move too fast and I forget that Cricut has created some great tools to help make your projects the best that they can be. When removing card stock paper from the cutting mat, use the SPATULA TOOL to keep your paper nice and flat. If you remove the paper by just pulling it away from the cutting mat, it will curl slightly.
  • Don’t forget to watch the video! It’s less than 10 minutes and it covers everything you’ll need to know to create your own “handwritten” labels.

Not all holiday gifts need to be ooey gooey sweet. Savory holiday gifts are just as lovely, sometimes even more so. I personally have been off sugar for 3 months now and I’m really nervous for the holiday season to arrive. Having the house fill up with sweets is NOT what I’m wishing for this Christmas. I would LOVE to get one of these Ball® Sharing Jar soup mixes as a gift. Not only are they soothing to the soul, but they are also good for you as well. - WhipperBerry @ballcanning #soupinajar #printabletags #souprecipe

This year, I’m working on all kinds of fun gifts for the Holidays that will look spectacular gifted inside of a jar. One of my favorites is the White Chocolate Ginger Scone Mix in a jar. It’s really easy to put together a whole bunch of these gifts and really not expensive at all. It’s always a bonus to save a little money during the holidays. @ballcanning #giftsinajar #neighborgifts #teachergifts #sconeinajar

As much as we hate to admit it, cold and flu season is on its way. There is nothing more miserable than one of those lousy winter colds. What’s almost just as bad is watching someone you care for dealing with a cold or, Heaven forbid, the flu! I’m always looking for ways to help cheer them up and let them know that we love them and hope for their better health. That’s when I came up with this idea for a Cold and Flu Rescue Kit to share with those loved ones that are suffering. • WhipperBerry
