What's up my fellow craft people? If you checked in on the blog for the 2nd Wednesday featuring Cricut Cartridges you have noticed that I missed this month as well. But in my defense I was clearing a spot for my new machine.
Yes, Yes I talked myself into buying the Cricut Explorer. It should be here tomorrow, and I can't wait. Now, if you read my last post you are probably wondering why I bought the machine. Well here are a few reasons why I'm willing to try it out:
*I like the cut and write/score without having to change out blades or adjust settings. This new machine has a place to house the blade, and another place to house the pen or scoring tool.
*I have the Cricut cartridges that I want (will buy the new ones I like) and most of my cartridges are already linked to CCR. So I can buy an individual item if it appeals to me and not have to pay for the subscription. Plus I heard that the subscription can be bought on a month to month basis. To me this means if I am doing a project that will require the use of cartridges I don't have, for that month I will pay for the subscription.
*Finally, they will allow you to cut and upload your .svg files for free. I have a lot of .svg files since buying my Cameo, and its good to know I can use those same files on my Cricut Explorer with no problem.
I'm still a little bit worried about the cloud based system, but I figured I would get the machine, and see how it goes. If after working with the cloud based system for a week or two I see reoccurring problems emerge, I'll just send the machine back.
I will keep you guys posted on how the machine works, troubles or joys and I will let you know how it compares to the Silhouette Cameo.
Now the 2nd Wednesday review of a Cricut cartridge will definitely be back by April. I will try my best to do one for March, but I know by April I will back in full swing.
HAPPY CRAFTING
