Check out more on Cricut Joy on this post. The Cricut Explore Air (Cricut.com or Amazon) is a very economical choice for a cutting machine with lots of applications. The Explore Air family is terrific for school classrooms, craft rooms and starting a Cricut business. The latest machine, the Cricut Explore Air 3 has Smart material capabilities, cuts faster and is not limited by mat size...plus more options than the 2. The Cricut Maker (Cricut.com or Amazon) is the most versatile of the Cricut Machines and can do a wide range of things. The Cricut Maker and the Cricut Maker 3 both are phenomenal, with the newest, Cricut Maker 3 having Smart capabilities. The Cricut Maker has the Adaptive Tool feature, which allows for a variety of tools to be used and a huge variety of materials. The Maker 3 (there is no Maker 2) is an upgraded version of the Maker, the tools are same for both machines. The Maker 3 is able to cut Smart materials without a mat! Plus, it can cut up to 12 feet in length, you are not limited by mat size! Yay!

Did you get a Cricut for Christmas? Are you new to Cricut crafting?

I love my Cricut. I use it all the time, nearly daily.

I've spent time using my Cricut for a side hustle and bringing in a little extra money too. I like it when my tools pay rent. If you want more information on this, check out this post.

Which Cricut Machine did you get?

PRO TIP:
*My best advice is to get it out of the box, make a space for it and get using it as soon as possible.

It is designed with YOU in mind. Cricut is easy to plug in and get using. Download the Cricut Design Space app on your phone or computer and set to work!
