CricutJoy Machine & Digital Content Library Bundle - Includes 30 Images in Design Space App - Portable DIY Smart Machine for Creating Customized Cards, Crafts, & Labels Blue

I go everywhere with my circuit joy machine!Very portable, lightweight, easy to set up, and I like the easy to understand app. as well. It cuts a variety of materials and draws too. Very fun machine for card making and scrapbooking. So glad I got this!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This was for a gift and they love it.

Absolutely love this item! I really appreciate that it is smaller and it’s actually faster than my larger machines. I appreciate that it does the smaller stuff because I make a lot of bookmarks. In total, the machine works great. I’m super happy with it and wouldn’t have it any other way

BEST PURCHASE EVER! Does it’s job and it’s very light. So far I’ve used it to make toppers and cards. I recommend !

I had the maker in the past but stopped crafting and gave it away. Big mistake! I decided to get back into crafting and just wanted to do small things around the house. This is perfect for the most part but I like to make big lettering on some decor and am unable to on the joy. Again I had intention of just using it occasionally for small projects so it does do that. The problem is once you get started into crafting you want to do more and more. This machine is very limited on that. And I was really disappointed to find out later on that it does not do print then cut. I found videos explaining how to do it with the joy but unless you actually own one of the other machines you can’t “trick” it into thinking you are going to use the other machine. I have been able to do a lot with this little machine though so I can’t complain too much. If you really think you just want to use it for smaller projects or want something more portable this will definitely serve its purpose but if you want to get into crafting and making things because you enjoy it then you should just invest in one of the bigger more expensive machines because you will definitely be disappointed at times. Also there are not a whole lot of videos on YouTube with tutorials on making things specifically using the joy because most crafters opt to eventually get the bigger ones and then this almost becomes a dust collector. I plan on using it until I invest in the maker 3 then give it away or else it will most likely just collect dust.

I bought this machine for cutting out designs on stencil vinyl to use as a blocker for copper etching. This little machine is quite the value and it has exceeded my expectations. The accuracy of the cutting is really excellent and the pressure exerted by the blade is just enough so that it only cuts through the material and doesn't even appear to touch the backing. I did find out rather quickly that although the design app is free if you want to get some of the better designs you either need to purchase them separately or get a paid subscription but at around $10 a month with your first month free you get a lot for your money and at a cost of $1.00 each to buy the premium designs should you not want the subscription it really is quite the bargain. The only real drawback is that nothing is controlled manually except for plugging it in and of course loading your project or loading the pen or knife. Everything is done through the app so if you have internet issues you are dead in the water. But for the price it is an excellent product. I would recommend buying one of the bundles if you are unsure just what you will be making or if you don't have materials for your specific project. I already had the vinyl and the transfer tape I needed and I purchased the machine only. It did come with a small cutting mat but I did need to purchase a longer mat as some of my designs could not be done with the smaller one. But other than that it was a go for me right out of the box. Installing the app and getting started were easy and the customer support is great. I give it a big thumbs up and highly recommend it if you want something that's really affordable and compact as long as your projects don't exceed the 4.5 Inch width of the feed. Or if you already have a machine for bigger projects and are looking for something for the small jobs that's compact and portable with a price tag to match.

Purchased it for my sister for Christmas and she loves it

Not what I needed.
