The Cricut Create is a fantastic tool for many types of crafters. It combines the portability of the original Cricut with the functionality of the Cricut Expression: it is the same size as the original Cricut, yet allows cuts from .25″ up to 11.5″ on a 6″ x 12″ cutting mat.
Since you don’t need a computer, you can easily put it on any crafting table you’re using, or carry it with you for “crafting get-togethers”.
I buy blank recycled type cards/envelopes and make my own greeting cards, and can also decorate those inexpensive recycled brown paper bag gift bags. There are very many cartridges for shapes and many for fonts, and some do both. School teachers will find a variety of cartridges very suited to the classroom. There are also cartridges with businesses in mind. You can decorate walls, canisters, make paper dolls, etc. I recently made a hunting birthday card for my son-in-law using the Camp Out cartridge. Crafters will love this machine.
The lil adhesive pads loose their stick pretty quick, but a hint to make the mats last longer is to clean them when finished and to use temporary adhesive spray used for machine embroidery to keep them sticky.
It includes an 8-way directional blade, Portrait Mode, Fit to Page Mode, Auto Fill Mode to mass produce cuts, Center Point function, and Flip function.
