A Cricut is an electronic cutting machine that can cut all kinds of designs from materials such as paper, vinyl, card stock and heat transfer. Versatile and easy, the templates give you fabulous options for adding style to small and large projects alike. Cricut machines offer sharp masks for detailed engraving on glassware and metal jewelry, as well as large templates up to 12 by 24 to decorate large surfaces such as walls and furniture. With Cricut machines, you can create not only paper crafts or personalize garments with vinyl, engraving or stencil.

But cut the fabric and more than 100 other materials. DIFFERENCE 1 — The most significant difference between Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore Air 2 (the latest models for Cricut machines) is cutting power. Another advantage of Design Space is that they offer a subscription known as Cricut Access, with this subscription, you can access 100,000 premium ready-to-cut images, hundreds of fonts and access exclusively licensed artwork, as well as exclusive savings on the Cricut Store and other files not included. There is also a sewing kit that is still on my shopping list because I can’t wait to do fabric projects with my Cricut.

A Cricut is a cutting machine that can cut a wide variety of materials for your craft projects, such as paper, vinyl, HTV (heat transfer vinyl) and cardstock. Design Space and the Cricut machine itself are designed to be very easy to use, and you don’t need a lot of graphic design experience to use them (though it does help if you want to create your own designs from scratch). Cricut Design Space is the software that allows you to organize, create, and ultimately trim your projects. Note that if you want to use Cricut images and fonts, you must download them (while you’re online) for future offline use.

There are also many ways you can earn money with your Cricut, such as selling custom t-shirts, mugs, stickers, etc. Thank you for sharing Julie, as an Australian companion, trying to learn what I could buy, which makes me look for other options besides Cricut. The new Debossing tip for Cricut Maker can help you create a stunning effect that, although it’s not the same, is quite close. However, if you have a Cricut Maker, you can “engrave” (as opposed to stamping) with the engraving tip.

You can cut with the Cricut Explore family with the Bonded fabric blade as long as the fabric has a stabilizer. This means that you can use Cricut Design Space (their online design software) to take any text or shape from the library and send it to your Cricut for trimming. Cricut also launched blank mugs that match the new press, and are the perfect gift for any occasion. The Cricut BrightPad is basically Cricut’s version of a light pad, created to illuminate projects for ease of crafting and reducing eye strain.
