Are you convinced yet? Well let me tell you the truth. I am by no means a gadget girl – and in all fairness you need to really sell me on something before I will buy into a tool. So was I skeptical about this little guy – for sure. But once I connected my phone to it and started cutting, I was sold. It was love at first cut. Its easy to use, convenient and cute. It can do anything and everything I ask of it – within reason of course. But this little guy here is yet to disappoint me. As an entry level machine its perfect, the cutting is flawless in a variety of materials I tested including glitter cardstock. Design Space on my phone takes a bit of getting used to, but like all things Cricut you can figure it out pretty quickly. A great machine for youngsters and crafters of all skill levels. The Cricut Joy gets a big thumbs up from me. And once you get to know the Joy and its tricks – you won’t look back anytime soon.
