The Cricut Machine Energizes The Crafting World
 |
The Cricut Machine by Provo Craft has helped energize not only the scrapbooking and paper crafting industries but other crafting hobbies as well. With its ever expanding line of cartridges and accessories, the possibilities with the Cricut are endless! |
Probably the major appeal of the Cricut Machine is its versatility.
Prior to the Cricut, crafters were required to either purchase ready made die cuts, or use die cutting machines that used a crank handle and pressure to create the shape. With both these methods, crafters had no choice as to the size of the shape or letters they used, as it was predetermined with the dies.
The Cricut machine enables crafters to choose the size of the shape or letters to customize each project. Each cricut cartridge has several "creative features," such as creating shadows, silhouettes, cards, or borders. These features add to the versatility of each cartridge and allow crafters to further enhance their creativity.
The Cricut's ease of use is another way it has benefited the crafting world. There are no handles to crank or bulky platforms to sandwich paper and dies on; crafters simply put the paper on the mat, load the mat into the machine, and select their choices on the keypad and then press "Cut."
With the regular cutting blade and deep cut blade, the Cricut can cut different materials, including paper, fabric, magnets, chipboard and vinyl. The Cricut can be used for fabric crafts, creating unique appliqués for clothing, quilts, or other fabric projects. The use of vinyl lettering on walls, mirrors, and home decor items is fashionable now, and the Cricut makes it easy to create unique, one of a kind home decor items with vinyl. The Cricut can be used to make custom stencils for home decor, glass etching or wood projects as well.
While the Cricut is invaluable for paper crafting, in a short time it has also proven its versatility and benefits for a wide variety of crafts. Many crafters enjoy participating in several different kinds of craft making hobbies. The Cricut machine allows these crafters to use one machine for all of their interests, making them even more creative.
