How to Make Label Stickers with Cricut Joy Xtra
Creating the Designs for Labels in Design Space
In our case, we need numbered (1 to 10) label stickers for our DIY paint-by-number kits as well as some labels that say “glue” and “glitter”. These are the steps to make this kind of a design but you can modify it to suit your needs.
Open Design Space and select a new canvas.
Insert a circle shape on to the canvas and size it to ⅜” diameter.
Next, insert a text box onto the canvas and change the font to your choosing.
We chose “little white lies” font for our labels. This works well because of its single layer writing style option, which makes the writing process faster. Keep this in mind when choosing a font for your project.
Center the number, letter or word inside of the circle shape, centering it vertically and horizontally. Repeat this step for the other numbers, letters or words.
Select all and duplicate it as many times as needed for your project.
Highlight all and click on the attach button at the bottom right corner to hold all the shapes and text together.
Proceed to “make it” and follow the prompts for inserting the Smart Label sticker paper into the Cricut Joy Xtra as well as loading the pen and blade.
Remove when complete.
Peel away the sticker and place on the paint well or whatever product you need to label.
