Without the need for a computer, the Cricut machine can cut characters from 1" up to 5.5" tall and 11.5" wide from a variety of materials, including vellum, paper, cardstock, and vinyl. The original Cricut machine is a cartridge-based system-it uses small, lightweight cartridges to cut complete font or shape sets. Cartridge content can be customized in up to six different ways, offering thousands of variations on each cartridge. The machine is also easy to use. Simply attach your paper to the cutting mat (it has a slightly tacky surface to hold the material in place), load it into the machine, insert your cartridge, and make your cutting selection, and press cut. Users can even control the size and the style of the cut with the machine's simple controls. The machine will quickly and electronically cut out the desired letter, shape, or phrase in seconds! This portable cutter weighs only 9 pounds and has a handle for convenient transportation. Designer carrying totes designed just for the Cricut machine further help users take the machine with them when they're on the go.

Love itJun 28, 2010 I am a scrapbook-aholic. I scrapbook constantly but never thought I would need one of these. My friend bought one and told me all about it. How it was easy to use, made scrapbooking easier, and made all sorts of different fonts and designs. Even quotes. I don't know how I lived without this before. I used to get so frustrated cutting little things out with a pair of scissors. I no longer have to. I just love this cricut.I even bought one for my best friend for her birthday!

Gets the job doneMay 19, 2010 A year ago my husband bought me a Cricut Expressions....he figured "why get the small Cricut when she will just want to do bigger things too". I agreed with him and have absolutely loved my Expressions.
Recently I wanted the George and Basic Shapes cartridge and found that it came with the Cricut. I could have just bought the cartridge, but for $15 more I got the Cricut too. What a deal, for me anyway. Now I love my Cricut too! I can only cut smaller things with it, but I do use it a lot. And it's great for traveling, very portable, and practical. Can't quite do everything the Expressions can, but I'm glad I got it.
Yesterday I was making a graduation card and need to cut some smaller things and needed to use more than one color. I was able to arrange the different colors of cardstock on the mat and switched cartridges as needed and got it all cut out quickly.
The cricut is perfect for scrapbooking, card making, and anything your imagination comes up with. It doesn't just cut paper and cardstock, but it also cuts vinyls (great for decorating the house, mirrors, etc), heat transfer vinyl (for doing shirts), chipboard, thin metals, etc. You can even use markers instead of the cutting blade if you just want to draw something. The possiblities are endless.
As for the price of the cartridges....I have never paid more than $32 for a cartridge and have paid as little as $18. You don't have to wait for Michael's to have a sale, try Ebay, or other online stores like [...], and many others.
