Machines

Cricut® Personal Electronic cutters allow you to get amazing creative results with the touch of a button. Cricut® machines, along with the Cricucartridges, cut beautiful designs and alphabets for card making, home decor, scrapbooking, paper crafting, and more!  Imagine the projects that you can create with Cricut®.  Your results with the Cricut® are only limited by your imagination.
No computer is required to run the Cricut®, just plug it in.  Place your favorite cartridge in your Cricut® and choose from hundreds of designs in an almost endless variety of sizes.  Cutting customized shapes and alphabets has never been easier.  And when you’re ready to take your creativity to even greater heights, you’ll want to consider the power of Cricut® DesignStudio™ to allow you to build amazing, customized cutting projects.
Cricut® Cake™
The Cricut® Cake™ Personal Electronic Cutter is specifically designed for decorating cakes, cupcakes, cookies, and confections in no time at all. Just choose a shape, a size, and press “cut”. Decorating like a professional has never been faster or easier. Bon Appetit!
Having a Cricut® Cake™ machine in your arsenal is not only practical but it will enable you to make cakes that are beyond a doubt personal.  Buying cakes from the store or having to design cakes using the same expensive templates over and over again keeps you from making or buying a cake that’s original with touches that relate to people’s personal lives.
Making an artistic cake takes skills that take years to perfect.  Some of us, no matter how hard we work at it will never have that flair to make a cake go from cute to beautiful.  Using the Cricut® Cake™ machine is easy and takes only a little time to master, making it easy to save so much – not only on time, but materials as well.
The machine uses the Cricut® cartridges to “program” what you want and the machine cuts it for you.  For different themes you’ll use a different cartridge or you can mix and match.  The cartridge that comes with the machine (Cake Basics) allows you to make letters and words using different fonts and images, adding flair and personality to the words such as font shadows and base shadow blackout. Other cartridges enable you to use a huge variety of shapes that you might need for creating wedding cakes or cakes with animals, themes based on travel or people.  Other cartridges use licensed characters.  These are great for little kids or adult kids who enjoy characters like Superman, Sponge Bob, Elmo or popular Disney characters.  All of the Cricut® cartridges can be used in the Cricut® Cake™ Personal Electronic Cutter.  Seasonal cakes are a must and Cricut® Cake™ machine has cartridges to go with all the holidays.  Christmas and Easter of course but also Valentines day and Mother’s day.
The Cricut® is a machine that you can use forever and has only a few parts that will wear out. The cutting blades will need to be replaced from time to time but let’s face it, you’re cutting gum paste so these items will take quite some time before they need replacing. Other items you’ll need are cutting mats.  These come in two sizes; 12 x 24 and 12 x 12.
When you design a cake, a little imagination can go a long way.  Take a look at the cartridges you have. There’s no rule that says you can only use one per cake. Use a character from one, a font from another and a design from yet another. You can use your cut items in 3-d as well. The cake will be a little more delicate but it will be a stand out cake from all the others you’ve seen in the past.
Being able to use your creativity and skills with not just your scrapbooks but your cakes too is so much fun. It’s something you can share with the people in your life who aren’t the crafty types.  Anyone can appreciate a well decorated cake especially if it’s made with them in mind.
The real stand out about this machine is that professionals use it too. In the past they would use custom made templates for what they couldn’t do free hand. Anything custom costs a fortune and now they can pass savings on to their customers. If you’re that professional cake decorator your customers will definitely come back for more cakes because of the practical price and the fantastic cake. If you’re not a professional people will think you are if you’re using the Cricut® Cake™ Personal Electronic Cutter.
Cricut® Create™
The Cricut® Create™ Personal Electronic Cutter combines the portability of the original Cricut® machine with the functionality of the Cricut® Expression™ machine. The Cricut® Create™ machine is the same size as the original Cricut® machine, yet it allows cuts from 0.25" up to 11.5" on a 6" x 12" cutting mat. The machine also includes an eight-way directional blade, Portrait mode (to cut taller images), Fit to Page mode (to cut the largest cut possible), Auto Fill mode (to mass produce cuts), Center Point function, and Flip function. An improved display screen and sleek design add greater style and convenience.

Cricut® Expression™
The Cricut® Expression™ is a much larger unit than the Cricut® Create™ or the Cricut® Personal Electronic Cutter®, meant to stay on a work table or in a media room. The good thing is that all Cricut® models use the same cartridges and the same blade housings and blades.

The Cricut® Expression™ is a way to cut letters, shapes, and phrases in impressive sizes using the 12" x 24" mat or the 12" x 12" mat. The possibilities are endless with this larger machine, allowing you to create bigger die cuts for classroom decor, scrapbook layouts, signage, and so much more.
