All About the Cricut

Posts Tagged ‘there’

I have to build models constantly for my Architecture classes, and I cant fathom how conveinent a laser cutter would be. I would like something that you could hook up to your computer, draw out shapes and have it cut out of thin wood or chip board. I know laser cutters are wildly expensive, but there is this craft cutter on the model now called the Cricut. You can see what im talking about here if you dont know what it is..

This clearly only cuts paper and it seems like it only cuts pre-set stuff. But my question is, is there anything out there that is relatively affordable (under $500) that would cut out custom shapes from wood or thick cardboard? Thanks!

I haven’t decided if I want to get a personal or expression. I know one has more options but the older one is cheaper. So what I am wondering is if I can use all Cricut cartridges on either one. Thanks!!

I have a Cricut from my kitchen cartridge and I would like to return it, it is new in box. But it was a gift, I am not sure where they bought it. I also don’t want to ask where, because I don’t want to hurt their feelings.

I am an 14 year old girl who LOVES to scrapbook. I do it almost all of the free time I have. I just have papers, borders, stickers, a few stamps, etc. I really think I would love the Cricut. Which kind should I look at buying? (I know how expensive they are, but with a good deal I might get it, or get it for Christmas.) I really need help, suggestions, etc! THANKS SOOO MUCH! (:
