The Cricut is AMAZING in what it can do. HOWEVER, I find it to be too expensive for the typical home crafter. It literally took me 8 hours to make 90 favor boxes by the time I cut them using the Cricut, then scored and folded the boxes, glued them together and attached flowers (cut with the Cricut)...

I love to scrapbook, and I love what the Cricut Expression can do.  But I have invested over $1K in this product and accessories and I am now against a brick wall.  I've had the machine almost 3 years... but really only have used it for about 50 hours.  The cradle that holds the cutting assembly into...

My husband bought my Cricut Expression for me last year for Mother's Day.  I have used it for so many different things.  During the school year, I use it a lot for locker decorations for the different sports ans clubs my kids are in.  This year I used it to make our Christmas Cards, and have been using it to make other cards instead of buying a card. 

Why I would recommend the Expression over the smaller Cricut is

  • You can cut up to 12'x24" paper
  • There is a center point function
  • The six different modes gives you more flexibility
  • The screen shows you what is going to print

My husband bought the Cricut Expression for me as a Valentine's Day gift.  There was a special "bundle" price at ACMoore.  He knows that I love scrapbooking and thought I would enjoy using it.  That is an understatement!  It is pricey, so it isn't a value priced item, but what it can do is amazing!!! You can purchase all different types of cartridges for it.  The cartridges are about sports, kids, disney, animals, letters, shapes, school, - sooo many options to choose from.  Then you tell it what you want to cut out, the font (if applicable) and the size - anywhere from 1/2" to 5"!!!  You... review »

The Cricut Expression Die Cut Machine has been a necessary tool in my crafting arsinol.  I have used this to create many layouts, projects, cards, and banners during the last year of ownership.  The orignial blade, given with purchase, lasts though thousands of cuts.  I have had this machine for about a year and have just now changed my blade.  I appreciate having so many options when choosing how my cricut cuts, between speed, pressure, paper alignment and location, the machine can cut anything.  It works on many different types of media, including vellum, cardstock, acrylic sheets, and chipboard. ...

I got a Cricut Expression for Mother's Day last year and love it and use it regularly. It is so easy to use and has endless possibilities. I have over 10 cartrdiges and use it regularly. I also purchased the Deep Blade and I have cut fabric and chipboard easily.

The Cricut Expression cuts in 1/4" incriments from 1/4" tall to 24" tall. It can also cut mirror images along with may other features. There is also a feature so as not to waste paper and you can center the blade on a picture and it will cut the desired shape centering the image in the picture.

The blades last a long time as I just replaced...

Wow! What an incredible machine!  I am a teacher and a scrapbooker.  I know the machine is expensive, but if you are willing to think outside the box a little, you will get your moneys worth.  We recently took a trip to Disney and when I went to our local scrapbooking store to but embellishments to use in my album, I spend well over $100.  If I would have watched and purchased a couple of Disney cartridges when they were on sale, I would have had them to use later....like for birthday cards, bulletin boards at school, birthday party decorations, etc.....I haven't tried it, but you can also...

This machine really is a great investment, you can do signs for your car, cards, school projects, and so much more.  The cricut expression has so many different fonts, so many differents borders, it is wonderful for any project.  Unlike many product it has easy straight forward instructions, a clear readable screen and there is no talent needed to make a cute creation or two.  My sons are 9 and 3 and love to help me do all the fun things that the cricut can do.  This cricut is the best bug I have ever bought.

I recently purchased the Cricut Expression cutting system.  This machine is awesome.  I have only used it one day so far and have found many uses for it.  I originally purchased it to use for scrapbooking but this weekend I also found that I can use it to make greeting cards and even gift bags.  Everyone will be getting their Easter gift in a gift bag made from the Cricut this year.  It is truly amazing the different projects than can be made and I only just started.

I first had the Personal Die Cutting system from Cricut, then upgraded to the Cricut Expressions. I use this ALL the time. For school projects, Church projects etc. It's awesome. I don't know how I ever scrap booked with out it. It takes the place of so many items. Thanks Provocraft for another great item!!

I honestly took a gamble and risk buying this machine. Since the first infomercial, I knew I wanted one of these machine. I didn't want any cricut, I wanted the one that could cut bigger things. So, for months I saw this and I searched everywhere trying to find a good deal. I had bought mine online since they don't sell it where I live. I spent around $380 for mine, this included the jukebox, a mat, spatula, the design studio, 4 cartridges and 2 ink sets. I am more than pleased with this machine. I was able to make party favors for a wedding and made one hundred dollars from that. I also did some...

ANyone who scrapbooks or does anything crafty at all would benefit greatly from this awesome gadget. I myself constantly have projects going on that I use the cricut for - I'm not even a traditional scrapbooker! I own a graphic and web design company and I do birth announcements, invitations, scrapbooks, photography albums, etc, etc, for people all the time. In the past I would have to cut out all the designs by hand and it would take forever to complete my projects, plus half the time my hand would actually start cramping from all the cutting and I would have to take a break. Now all that is behind...

I never knew I could be so creative until my husband got me the Cricut Expression last year for Christmas. Since then I have not let a holiday, birthday, baby shower, or anniversary go by without making my own cards to suit the recipient and the occasion.Everyone loves getting cards from me and I feel so proud since I never felt I was good at anything crafty before. I also use it for  making layouts and adding embellishments to my scrapbook pages to make them look uniquely mine. There is Sooo much this machine can do, that I haven't even begun to try them them all yet! The cartridges can be...
