Hello My Fellow Crafters,
I hope that you enjoy this weeks Cricut Fact as much as you did last weeks đ
Do you want the ability to easily make a personalized wedding gift or perhaps some unique home dĂŠcor? Then you might find Cricut electronic cutting machines to be the best DIY crafting tool since the sewing machine.
There are two machines that Cricut currently offers on their site:
Cricut Explore Oneâ˘
Cricut Explore One⢠is a simple design-and-cut system. Itâs versatile, easy to use, cuts very precisely, and is also incredibly affordable. With its irresistibly low price and limitless cutting potential, the Explore One is perfect for a new or beginning crafter. Here are a few notable features of the Explore One:
.
Materials â All Cricut machines can cut an unbelievable variety of materials, for example:
- Paper
- Vinyl
- Iron-on
- Craft materials
- Upcycled materials
- Fabric
- Plastic
- Thick materials
Precision – Features Cut Smart⢠technology, which allows you to cut a wide range of shapes and sizes with exceptional precision, from Âź” tall up to 11½” wide x 23½” tall.
.
Smart SetÂŽ Dial – Each machine features a Smart SetÂŽ dial, which sets your settings (e.g. speed, pressure, etc.) for you so you donât have to keep track of them. You just select the material that you’re using on the Smart SetÂŽ dial and the machine’s Cut SmartÂŽ technology will deliver a clean, professional cut.
.
Images and Fonts – You can upload your own images and fonts for free on all three Cricut cutting machines.
.
Cartridges – Both machines work with any Cricut cartridge and have the capability to hold all of your cartridges âvirtuallyâ in the cloud within your Cricut Design Space online software. So once youâve loaded a cartridge, youâll have it everywhere you go.
.
Cricutâs Design Space⢠and iPadÂŽ app – All Cricut Explore machines work hand-in-hand with Cricutâs Design Space⢠(for PC, MacÂŽ, iPadÂŽ, and iPhoneÂŽ) that you get access to for free.
.
Cricut Explore Airâ˘
The Explore Air is the whole kit ân caboodle. It offers all the impressive features mentioned for the Explore One, but two key things set it apart:
- It has a dual carriage for cutting and writing or cutting and scoring in one step. If you do a lot of paper crafting, this is the machine for you!
- It has built-in BluetoothÂŽ capability. You just use Cricutâs free iPad app and design anything you want from your iPad, just like you would on your home computer, but with the convenience of being able to take your projects with you anywhere. Then, you can just wirelessly send your project from your iPad to your Explore Air to bring it to life.
Now that you know a lot more about how Cricut ExploreÂŽ machines work, Iâll focus next weekâs post on how you can design here, there and everywhere with Cricut Design Space. Youâll be blown away by how easy it is.
Until then âŚ
Make It A Great Day and Don’t Forget To Leave Time To Craft!
