While it might be a bit more expensive than some die cut machines you’ve seen for scrapbooking, the Cricut Expression machine is a worthwhile investment for scrappers as well as teachers, parents, and those who homeschool their children. If your looking for a new scrapbooking tool, this machine might be just what your next project needs.
The Cricut Expression machine is larger than most die cut machines so it needs to stay on a work table or in a craft room. It’s not meant to be portable or to go from room to room. However this larger size means that it can accommodate not just 12×12 pages but sizes of mats up to 12×24. This means you get twice the size of die cuts from the same machine. The Cricut machines all use the same cartridges and same blades, so you can use any Cricut cartridge for the Expression machine. You also don’t need a computer for this machine. You make your selections right there on the LCD screen which also shows you exactly what you’ll be cutting and what size so there are no mistakes.
This means that the Cricut Expression machine is perfect for scrapbooking as well as for making banners, classroom decorations, and many other teaching tools. Imagine the party planning you can do with this machine or how you can use its cartridges to create teaching aids for your home schooled children. Many appreciate the larger size dies that are created with the Cricut Expression machine and remember too that creating individual elements and layering them can make for an amazing page in any album.
Remember too that with the Cricut Expression you can purchase many different cartridges made by Cricut. They have licensed cartridges including characters from Disney, Sesame Street, and others, and literally dozens of font designs as well. You can also purchase shape cartridges for your Cricut machine so you can cut out simple shapes and those you may use for a variety of reasons. Just decorate or stamp them before adding them to your scrapbooks for even more visual interest.
Don’t forget the amazing Cricut Design Studio software. This program allows you to connect your Cricut Expression or even the original Cricut with your computer. It’s a must-have for every Cricut user. With an on-screen cutting mat, you’ll be making your own creations in no time. It also has a keyword search feature for the entire cartridge library making it quick and easy to find just the right image for your next scrapbooking project. You definitely want to check out the Cricut Design Studio software as an addition to your machine.
There’s very little that you can’t do with an Expression machine. So if you can fit it into your budget, it’s well worth the investment and makes a great addition to your scrapbooking tools. You will be adding beautiful embellishments to your scrapbook pages in no time. Of course you’ll also need the room for it but those who’ve purchased it say that it’s well worth what they’ve spent for the machine. Whether it’s for parties, school projects, or scrapbooks, it’s a great machine!
