Cricut Electronic Cutter machine with the 6x12-inch cutting mat?

Question

does any one own this machine? i was thinking of getting it and was looking for some reviews on it.

i saw it on an infomercial for about 50 bucks. it seem like the perfect size for my scrap booking needs (not interested in the larger more expensive machines)...

thanks

Hi:

Check the following websites for more info and there sales pitch as to why you should buy it:

Also check your satellite list for "Scrapbooking Made Easy"

If you would have ask this in January I would have said No - due the fact that you where limited by what they gave you in the cartridges and it was not computer interface able with a design program which you could design your paper cutouts But I learn recently they came out with a Design Studio Program which will do exactly do what I hope it would do, Now May be it can do some paper crafts cutouts like envelopes, Paper flowers, pyramids, custom made paper cut out, lamp shade, candy dishes, 3-d buildings and hopefully you add your computer fonts to it and cut them out, than it has even greater versatility than it had before. If it can do that, than in my option { For what it worth to you} - It will be a execellent machine to have. and a wonderful addition to you. As well as your printer for your computer.

I hope this helps.

If you are only going to cut out regular card stock you should be fine with this. You do realize you need to buy cartridges to put into it. The machine use to come with one.

I prefer my Sizzix machine. I am not a big fan of the Cricut, but some of my scrapbooking friends love theirs. If you have any one or any store that can demo this for you or let you try it out first it would be a good idea.

I have  never seen it for this low of a price. Are you sure it was the machine and not the cartridge for 50?
