All About the Cricut

Posts Tagged ‘Scrapbooking’

I am looking at getting one for my wife for christmas, but i have very little info on it.

How long do they last under normal wear and tear? Is she going to have to spend a fortune on upkeep (blades, mats, paper, etc.)? How many cartridges will be needed to be able to offer some functional variety to card making, and scrapbooking?

Any and all answers will be most appreciated.

Thanks

The one on tv is about $250 and comes with a whole bunch of stuff and the one in stores is a lot more, over $300. Is there a difference between these two products? Is the one in stores a new version or does it do different things? I’m looking to put it on my upcoming birthday list, so if anyone knows the details, please include lots of details on what the differences are! Thanks!

My friend gave me her Cricut create machine and I’m not sure what paper to use? I tried computer paper but i’ve seen great projects done with this machine, yet I’m not sure what paper it is used? thanks! Any ideas what to do?

It’s expensive and I want to know if anyone has it and likes it. Would anyone recommended it?
