How about a machine that cuts Disney themed shapes and Disney fonts out of ANY paper you choose? What if it does it easily and quickly? Would you love it to be so flexible that you can choose the size of the shape and adjust the cutting depth based on the type of paper (deeper when using card stock, for example)?
Well, such a machine DOES exist. I saw a demo of it in person over the weekend at my local Joann Etc craft store. It’s called the Cricut Expression and I think it’s totally awesome!
Maybe you’ve seen it on TV on a late night infomercial or perhaps you’ve got a look at it on the Home Shopping Network. At the time I’m writing this, the machine comes with the Plantin Schoolbook font cartridge, a 12 by 12 inch cutting mat, and user manual (this information is subject to change). The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is about $400, but if you’d like to save some money, you can buy it online for around $280 (at the time I’m originally writing this). Just click on the picture of the Cricut to find out more.
In order to cut the Disney shapes you’ll need to buy some extra cartridges. Some of the ones available include Hannah Montana, Mickey and Friends, Pixar Cars, and Tinkerbell. Click on the picture of the Tinkerbell cartridge for more information. There’s also a cartridge that has Winnie the Pooh fonts.
I’d love to hear your thoughts about the Cricut. How are you using it? Please share your creative ideas by leaving a comment. Thanks.
