Have you been waiting to snag a Cricut die cutting machine? Now’s the time!

  • With the Amazon Spring Sale upon us, this is definitely the time to snag that Cricut machine you have been holding out for. While there are many different types of Cricut machines, the three that are the focus of this post are the Cricut Joy Xtra, the Cricut Maker, and the Cricut Expression 3.

Cricut Joy Xtra

This is newest in the line of Cricut machines. As far as size, this machine is between the smallest, Joy, and the Maker or Explore. The best feature for this machine is that it works great with letter size materials and utilizes Cricut’s print and cut feature (the Joy doesn’t). The Joy Xtra’s mat will fit 8.5 inch wide materials with ease. With the smaller Joy, the user needs to cut the materials down to size if not using products made specifically for it. With this machine doing print then cut, the options are endless and the material sizes are more standard to what the everyday person has on hand. #Afffiliate

Cricut Maker

While there isn’t much to this bundle, this option offers more options as far as materials that the machine can cut. The Maker is a machine that lends itself to a new blade housing that allows that user to cut textiles like fabric, felt, and thin wood sheets without the need for starch or binders. This basic bundle offers the consumer to purchase the needed accessories that will benefit the user more. #Afffiliate

Cricut Explore 3

This bundle is great for the beginner crafter. While pricy, it encompasses multiple projects with the diverse materials offered to the customer. This Explore model is also able to utilize the “Smart Materials” that Cricut now sells. While the “Smart Materials” are pricey, it is expected that other companies will follow suite and offer other than name brand options to help make this feature more affordable. #Afffiliate
