Are you ready to make the easiest Cricut Joy paper projects ever? It’s so simple and you can even write on your designs without attaching. The Cricut Joy App is all the basics of Design Space without all the bells and whistles. I love Design Space and creating in it, but sometimes I just want simple and quick. To do this I use the Cricut Joy App on my iPhone to make easy paper projects. 

Using the Cricut Joy and the app to make easy paper projects

 

The new Cricut Joy App is my new go to for easy projects and I have spent a lot of time using it. For Cricut Joy paper projects, you can make tags, rolled flowers, any single layer shape, cupcake toppers, and more. Since the app is different than Cricut Design Space™, there are a few new things you need to know. 

Here are my Cricut Joy App Tutorials

Writing on Cricut Joy Paper Projects in the App

Writing on a project has never been easier. Tap the T and type the text. To edit the text, tap symbol (that the arrow is pointing to in the screenshot) to change the font, style and alignment. You don’t have to find writing fonts or anything and the app has lots of choices. 

To write on the paper projects add text and click the A to edit in the Cricut Joy App

That’s all you have to do to add text. No attaching at all. The Cricut Joy App does it for you. It made creating this birthday tag so easy!

HI I’m Jenny and I live a simply crafty life.

I love easy DIYS and crafts to create decor for my home, holidays and special occasions.

I’m always planning a new project in my mind or I’m figuring out how to make something that I saw (daydreaming about crafty projects is my thing).

You can find me at my craft table with my Cricut, coffee, and glue gun.

I hope you find inspiration and enjoy my simple and creative ideas.
