Lay a sheet of red felt onto the mat and secure into place using the brayer tool.
Select felt as the material you would like to cut, you can use the fine point blade or the rotary blade on the Cricut Maker to cut felt.
Once cut remove the felt from the mat.
To cut the iron-on pieces from the design, lay a sheet of iron-on face down onto the mat making sure it is well stuck.
Select the iron-on vinyl setting before inserting the mat and starting the cut.
Once cut remove the iron-on from the mat, cut carefully around the cut images then start weeding. Remove all of the iron-on leaving only the design on the clear carrier sheet.
Now press each of the layers on iron-on to the red felt sheet, press each layer at a time waiting for it to cool before removing the carrier sheet before pressing the next layer.
Once the layers are complete add the iron-on numbers to the green felt circle.
Glue the green felt shapes onto the stamp using a hot glue gun.
Cut a short piece of ribbon, thread it through the hole in the stamp tag and tie a knot.
You can now add the tag onto the gift of your choice.
Open up a new project in Cricut Design Space and add some simple shapes to the canvas. Resize and duplicate them so that you have a few of each shape.
Lay a sheet of red shimmer iron-on on face up onto the mat and load it into the machine. Search for the shimmer vinyl setting and cut the sheet.
Open up a new project in Cricut Design Space, and add the images #M10ECA4AO, #M10ECA6B4 and #M1134C84.
Resize the ornaments to fit your gift as desired.
Lay the first sheet of felt onto the mat and load it into the machine to cut on the felt setting.
Once cut, repeat the process for the next two colours of felt until you have three ornament shapes cut out.
Next cut the iron-on sheets, layer each sheet face down onto the mat and cut on the iron-on setting.
Repeat the process until you have three different coloured iron-on cuts.
To finish, thread the three felt bauble onto a piece of cord, then wrap this around your present.
Open up a new project in Cricut Design Space, add some simple shapes to the canvas. Resize and duplicate them so that you have a few of each shape.
Cut the shapes out of a few colours of felt, using your machine and the felt setting.
Once cut remove the shapes from the mat.
Glue the shapes to a long length of cord using a hot glue gun.
Glue them at random intervals along the cord, mixing the colours as you go.

You can create your own wrap by choosing drawn images from the design space library or changing your own images to draw by changing the line type.
Put the pen into the pen port on your machine and clamp it into place.
Load a sheet of 12x12 cardstock onto the mat and load it into the machine.
Set the setting to medium cardstock and begin drawing.
This might take a while so sit back with a cup of tea and let the machine work its magic!
Once the machine has completed drawing remove the sheet of paper from the mat, making sure to peel the mat away from the cardstock not the other way around.
You can now use the sheet as gift wrap.
