There are only 15 days between now and Christmas day…EEK! Is anyone else bursting with anticipation? By now (crossing our fingers), all if not most of the gift shopping is done and taken care of, and it’s time to start thinking of gift wrapping and accessorizing these sought after treasures into the decorative masterpieces that we’ll place under our trees or personally hand deliver.
With our love for paper, ribbon, and celebrating anything that allows us to apply both in a meaningful way, we could not help but create some beautiful gift tags using shapes from our newest Cricut® collection, Complete Creativity.
If you’re not familiar with the Complete Creativity Cricut® collection, this collection is divided up by whole card and scrapbook projects, providing all the shapes you need to create complete cards and scrapbook pages for a variety of themes and occasions. Each project is made up of components that can also be used independent of the layout or card they were designed for.
To illustrate the flexibility of this collection, we pulled individual icons, shapes, and sentiments from several of the projects, manipulated their orientation and size, and then grouped them to create the 15 delightful tags you see here!
All of the shapes, including the tag bases, come from separate projects in the Complete Creativity collection. As a special Christmas treat from us to you, we’re giving you our design space file so you, too, can create these little beauties and can use them in your holiday gift decorating!
To give you an idea of their size, the “Merry Christmas” tags are approximately 5¼” x 3⅛” and the “tis the season” tags are 4½” x 1¾”. If you look closely at each of the pictures above, you will see that there is a total of five tag designs created with three different sets of patterned papers and cardstock. The Design Space file provided will recreate all 15 tags, so you will see 19 different paper requests from your machine as you go through the “Make It” process. (Take a look at our “recipe” below for a complete list of the papers we used in our tags.)
In the provided file, you may also notice a green stand-alone T-shape only in the middle set of tags. This shape is the background ribbon for the small present in the tag next to it. Both, the “Merry Christmas” tag and the T-shape are cut from the same patterned paper in all three sets of tags. Since the patterned paper used for these two shapes in the middle set of tags is a plaid pattern, we wanted to cut it straight in the tag base but not in the ribbon, because we liked the effect of cutting the pattern at an angle better. Therefore, we straightened the tag shape out on the Design Space Canvas Grid and removed the T-shape from the present at the angle shown. This way, the ribbon will be cut with the pattern at the preferred angle as well.
We hope you enjoy putting this fun Christmas project together and sharing it with friends. As always, make sure you let us know if you have any questions in the comment section below! Happy Holidays!

Thanks!
Thanks so very much!
Just in Time, wrapping some presents tonight.
How do I download the file?
😉
Sorry, thank you it did open on design space. Thank you!
What beautiful tags. Thank you so much, I can’t wait to try them.
And “Bah Humbug” to those of us that have other cutting machines!
Reach out to your Consultant. She may be able to help you out! 😉
I tried to use this file and it says no longer for sale , wont even prepare a mat. Its a cute idea though.
The file is still available. In order to make these you do have to own the Complete Creativity collection. The individual shapes are not available for sale. Try it again and let us know if you’re still having problems. We’d like you to get to make these if you want them. <3
I can’t find the where to download this file. Love the tags.
It’s the highlighted text, “design space file.” Here is the actual link https://design.cricut.com/#/design/181234655. It is a large file and may take a minute to open.
I own each of the complete collection in cartridges. I have loaded them to my design space. Should this still work? It loaded all 19 mats, but it does not give me the cut icon when I get to the make it stage on the first mat.
Double check under your cartridges in your Design Space™ account to see if Complete Creativity is there. It is our newest collection and has never been available as a cartridge.
This wont open on my app, says no longer available…

The item is still unavailable….sucks…
Love the idea but with 19 pages in the file it is nearly impossible to figure out which paper goes with page! Beautiful tags though
We’ve color coordinated all of the pages in the file to make it easier to match them with the corresponding paper patterns we used, and that’s only if you want to duplicate our tags exactly. If you don’t get it exactly the same, or you prefer to pick and choose different patterns and colors, you should still get some great results. What we’ve done is provide the template to create these beautiful tags. Make them your own and have fun with it! <3

Disappointed! I have been a loyal customer since CTMH started as DOTS; I have all of the CTMH cartridges, but I use a different cutting machine with computer access! Now that CTMH is purely Cricut oriented, those of us with other machines are left out! I purchase a LOT of CTMH product and will not be forced to purchase a new Cricut machine! I think my only option is to purchase product from other companies! Sad but true!
This blog is all about sharing our passion for memory keeping and celebrating relationships. Rest assured that we will have more projects in the future that will not require a cutting machine, but we do plan to continue sharing Cricut® ideas from time to time. Thank you for being part of our CTMH family for so long! <3
Your tags don’t work! Why?
I have tried a couple more times, your links don’t work….why?
Do you own the Complete Creativity collection on Cricut Design Space™? The links are active and still work, you just have to own the collection and have a Design Space™ account to access our file. Please let us know if we can help any further.
Also upset that you won’t answer…. Booo
