About the Cricut Machines

Paper crafting is experiencing a revolution with the introduction of the Cricut machine. It can be carried around to different places and does not need a computer to work. You do not loose features by having convenience either as it can cut an amazing range of letters, phrases and shapes. The only limit is you and your imagination!
Scrapbookers are particularly keen on the Cricut because of the professional look it gives their work and the speed in which it cuts. Reviews are positive, just check places like Amazon.com. It comes out as definitely ahead of other cutting machines that are out there to purchase.
The first machine is the Personal cutter and can cut images an inch in size up to five and a half inches. The machine takes thin papers as well as thick using a pressure dial to adjust to whichever you choose. Cartridges are varied and in large numbers letter or shape in themes.
The second machine is called the Expression and is particularly thought of as a huge benefit to teachers in the classroom as well as businesses from home. It has an extra cutting mat, 12 x12 and 12 x 24 inches to accommodate the extra sizes you can cut from a quarter of an inch to twenty three and a half inches. There is an LCD screen to view choices and language and measurement settings can be altered.
Finally in the range is the Create which took what buyers liked about the original (its portability) and what they liked about the Expression (its extra features) and put them together in one machine. It cuts a wider range than the Cutter but less than the Expression at 0.25 inches up to 11.5 inches. The mat is 12 x 6 inches and the extra features include Flip function, Auto Fill, Fit to page, Portrait and Center point. Plus the eight way directional blade, a larger LCD screen and a more modern look. As mentioned there are a large range of cartridges that can be used in all three machines as well as other extras like replacement mats and blades, hand tools and even a bag to put it in. Now is the time to make that purchase and improve your paper crafting.
