Everything to know about Cricut

Is the Cricut maker worth it?

In my honest opinion, yes the machine is more than worth it.  The possibilities are endless and it’s the perfect return on investment. If you are a small business owner or craft for fun. Owning a Cricut was one of the best decisions I made. It’s an exciting process and I know you probably don’t know where it to start. The Maker uses more tools, which means more options for projects.  This post contains affiliate links, which helps supports this site and no cost to you guys!!

There are many blades that could be used: The Knife Blade, Rotary Blade, and Fine-Point Blade. The tools that could be used would be the scoring wheels, perforation blade, wavy blade, debossing tip, and engraving tip. There are also Quickswap housing tools that would allow you to swap out blades and tools using a quick-release button found on the top of the housing unit.  If you are interested in Cricut Blades and what blade does what) click here)
