It was three years ago when my mom gifted me my first cutting machine. I wasn’t all that familiar with them beforehand but it quickly became my absolute favorite crafting tool. If you’re an avid crafter, enjoy making DIY home decor, like sewing and quilting, or love giving handmade gifts, you need a cutting machine in your life.
Well, my old Silhouette Portrait has served me well but I have been eager to upgrade to a more powerful cutting machine for a while now. When researching the options out there, the Cricut Maker quickly rose to the top of my wish list. When Cricut reached out about working together on some Cricut Maker projects, my level of excitement matched a little kid on Christmas morning. This machine has been at the top of my wishlist for over a year so sorry Santa, but Cricut beat you to it!
I’ve been busy testing out the capabilities of the Cricut Maker and have some fun project tutorials for you, but first I wanted to share a quick overview of what the Cricut Maker is and what materials it cuts.
You can find more inspiration and Cricut guidance in these two blog posts:
What is the Cricut Maker?
If this is your first time hearing about the Cricut Maker, check out the video below for a quick overview:
The Cricut Maker is the newest, most powerful, most versatile cutting machine from Cricut. It cuts, writes, and scores hundreds of materials–from delicate fabrics and papers to thick leather and balsa wood–in any pattern or image you want. You can design your own projects or download ready-to-use designs, all from right inside the free cloud-based Cricut Design Space software.
What materials does the Cricut Maker cut?
You guys, the Maker cuts SO MANY MATERIALS!!! It’s truly a crafter’s dream and I have about a gazillion and one crafts, decorations, and organizing projects I’m dying to make with it!
The Cricut Maker can cut pretty much any material less than 3/32 of an inch, or 2.4mm, thick. Its new knife blade is comparable to a super precise X-ACTO knife for your Cricut. Think mat board, thick leather, craft wood, and more!
