Hi Crafty Friends! I recently had the opportunity to take a trip from Vancouver to Salt Lake City for the launch of the Cricut Venture! I spent 3 super fun days hanging out with Cricut blogger friends, Cricut staff and members of the Cricut Contributing Artist Team!
Not only did I get to attend the launch of the Cricut Venture, I also got to spend the day at Cricut Head Office where we discussed the future of Cricut (they have BIG plans in the works for the next few years!), met with department heads to share “wish list” features for Design Space and tour the incredible Cricut facilities.
Whenever I am travel for an event, I always secretly wonder if everyone around me is also traveling to go to that event too.
Cricut people are my favorite people and even though I’m usually an introvert, I could talk for HOURS about Cricut cutting machines.
I decided to wear my love for Cricut on my sleeve (or more specifically my suitcase) and create a Cricut Luggage Tag and Passport Holder by using my Cricut Maker 3, leather and HTV.
Customize Your Passport Holder and Luggage Tag
This project was so fun and easy! I of course covered my luggage tag and passport holder with Cricut Cuties (if you know, you know) but you could customize your travel items with so many different themes!
You could choose designs that go with your:
- Profession
- Hobbies
- Place Your Travelling To
- Favorite TV shows, movies or charachters
- Sport teams you follow or sports you play
- Favorite quotes
- So much more!
I love that my Cricut lets me personalize things and make them 100% my own!
The Cricut Design Space Library has over 500,000 images and fonts with plans to expand to over 1 million images in the near future!
If you don’t have a Cricut Access subscription yet, I highly suggest considering getting one. The Cricut Artist Program has really helped to increase the amount of images available through Cricut Access as well as the quality!

How To Make A Cricut Passport Holder
A few years back I made each of my family members a Passport Holder using my Cricut Maker and fabric. You can see that project here.
My kids and I recently received our US passports in addition to our Canadian passports so it seemed like a good time to experiment making a new passport holder!
This time around I decided to use some pretty Rose Gold Leather that I’ve had sitting around for awhile to make my project with.
I searched Cricut Design Space for Cricut Cuties and oh my goodness they had so many adorable designs to choose from! And all of them are included with a Cricut Access subscription!
