The machine is a hefty thing, but it cuts so quietly, and it doesn't make the table shake when it cuts. I just had to take it for a brief spin, to see how easy it was to set-up. And it was super easy. Trying to figure out how to access the free subscription and Anna Griffin stuff was another thing all by itself. Nothing from the paperwork inside tells you how to access those things. However, I went to the Cricut Facebook page and scrolled through some comments and found the answer. Just in case you stopped here, let me tell you that you need to go to circut.com/setup, in order to get the perks promised from HSN at launch.
Now I did cut a few things
This butterfly is barely over two inches and the of the cuts are smooth.
Now this cut I will try again, because I think it was my pulling it off the mat to quickly that made the edges curl and look ragged at the fine points.
The little tiny cut at the base of the tip, did not cut cleanly, but overall I think it's a good cut.
Now of course since I found how to unlock the Anna Griffin content I decided to make the card that appears as one of the make it now projects. I also used one of the stamps from the Anna Griffin Chalkboard Stamp set.
I'm really disappointed that I didn't get the tool set with the score tool. I ordered before the presentation, and didn't realize that the tool set was coming with a different tool from what was being sold in stores. So for the card cut above, I had to disengage the score tool function.
I can already tell that using Design Space is going to take a lot of playing around with to get use to. Well, that's all for now.
HAPPY CRAFTING
