Enjoying The Original Cricut Machine 0

Jan30

Most of the time, new releases of popular products overshadow the originally-released product. New capabilities or lower prices make the old product obsolete. That certainly isn’t the case, however, with Provo Craft’s original Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter. Although the subsequent release of two new models offer crafters different choices in a die cutting machine, the original Cricut continues to be popular among many crafters and is fully compatible with the new Gypsy Cricut.

One of the reasons the Cricut is so popular its ease of use. All crafters have to do is insert a cartridge into the machine, select a design, and feed their chosen material into the machine. With the push of a button, crafters are rewarded with a customized cutout that is perfectly suited to their needs. Never again will they have to settle for a stock cutout that is almost what they wanted.

The original Cricut machine is the smallest of the Cricut line of cutters. Weighing only seven pounds, it is by far the easiest machine to carry to craft gatherings. Crafters who don’t have a dedicated crafting space in their home also applaud the original Cricut’s size. It can be easily moved to a dining room table while crafters are using it and then quickly moved out of the way when the project is completed. As growing families take up more and more space in a crafter’s home, the ability to do more than one thing in a space takes on increasingly more importance.

The original Cricut is slightly limited with regards to the size of the cutout it produces. Although the original Cricut offers the smallest range of cutout size available in a Cricut machine, it still has enough flexibility to be used in most situations. Cutouts created with the original Cricut can be as small as 1 inch and as large as 5 ½ inches. This range of sizes makes cutouts that are perfect for crafting greeting cards, scrapbooking projects, and even party décor.

The original Cricut is also the most affordable of the Cricut line of personal cutters. With a suggested retail price as low as $300, purchasing an original Cricut machine over the more newly-released machines can help crafters save close to $200. The original Cricut is available at hundreds of stores and websites. It can often even be found at a discounted price making it even more affordable. You can save even more money by finding Cricut cartridges on sale.

Like all of the other Cricut machines, the original Cricut is able to use all of the Cricut accessories and cartridges that have been released by Provo Craft. In addition, the original Cricut comes with the George cartridge. The George cartridge includes a full font, ten phrases, several shapes, and special features to make using your creations even easier. This cartridge has enough functionality to keep crafters busy for weeks.

The original Cricut machine is so chockfull of benefits that it’s easy to understand why many crafters still profess it as their favorite Cricut machine. While other models may have a few functions that aren’t found in the original Cricut, this first model’s ease of use, size, and price ensure that it will continue to be popular among crafters everywhere.
