DH says i cant use it till christmas though haha. Has anyone used theres yet? How do you like it?
mom2monkiesx3 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 I saw a lady grab 6 of these, I wondered what the heck they were! lol I do SOME scrapbooking but I always buy the precut stuff. Sound really cute though!
freesia39 Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 i saw this at michael's and went "WHOA INGENIOUS!" no room for it though right now... my arts and crafts dream room (sewing machine, knitting/crochet corner, scrapbooking table) will have to wait until we have more room and we're married.
VTmommy Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 I picked up one of these as well! I have been waiting to buy one and told myself I could use it before Xmas as long as I used it to make some gifts and/or cards! LOL FYI -- you can choose from several cartridges for a good deal (1 for $40, 2 for $37 each, 3 for $33 each, 4 for $27 each) here:http://www.creativexpress.com/shop/home.php?cat=2199
Steakgoddess Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 If you really want to delve into the world of digital craft cutters, I would suggest doing the research on the ones that do not need cartridges. The initial cost is more expensive, but you don't have to buy cartridges to get new fonts or shapes.

Steakgoddess Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 what are these called and how much are they?Some of them are: Xryon WishbladeQuickutz SilhouettePazzlesCraft RoboKlik n Kut (not sure on spelling) They retail for between $300-$400+. Like I said, bigger cost up front, but you are not having to spend a small fortune on cartridges. I own the Silhouette. The Wishblade, Silhouette and Craft Robo are all the same machine, they just use a bit of different software to run them. You can cut any TTF you have on your computer and all kinds of shapes that you either get for free from online groups or you create yourself. Very easy to run.
HAnderson Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 i will have to look into those thanks for the information
gezzmom70 Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 what are these called and how much are they?I agree. I opted for a QK Silhouette and I LOVE it. I especially love not having to buy cartridges all the time...I just surf the web and collect all the free TT fonts I want. Also, I have been able to create my own designs. Can you weld words with Cricut? I'm not sure, but that's another reason I decided on the Silhouette (same as Wishblade and CraftRobo but a little cheaper).

I have never heard of these and am very interested if anyone could tell me more about them.
Steakgoddess Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 Yes, any font that you find on the internet and there are TONS of free ones, you can cut with those machines. You save them to your computer. Then you open up the Cutter software and pick the font you want (kind of like you do on Word) and then type and adjust size and send it to the cutter.
HAnderson Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 hmm sounds interesting i will have to look into thses.
biomajor Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 The Walmart in Gallatin, TN still has 5 of these, for the BF price, too--as of about 4:30 or so
tjarena Posted November 29, 2007 Posted November 29, 2007 I would love to get this but I don't have time to scrapbook? Where do you all find the time. I wish I was a stay at home mom so I could scrapbook-which I love! Is the cricut really worth the money?
