Does anyone have a cricut cutter? Is it as useful as it seems? I found someone who has one for sale and I am going to look at it tomorrow. How much is a good price? I think it is the smaller one that is normally $299. They also have a mickey mouse cartridge for $25. Thank you!

I have a Cricut Expression which is the bigger machine, and I absolutely love it. I got it for Christmas one year and since then, keep buying more and more cartridges. I keep saying, no more...but then another comes along. LOL

Here is a site that has very good prices and they have weekly specials, plus if you sign up for their email, they send one each day with different specials and coupon codes. http://www.ohmycrafts.com/

As far as a good price for the smaller machine, is it used? I know on Ebay they sell for right around $100 new and that size machine comes with a George and Basic Font cartridge, so if they aren't offering that cartridge with it, it should be cheaper. $25 for the Mickey cartridge is a good price!

Hope I helped some. You can always check Ebay to get some ideas on pricing and there's a lot of places on the net with tips and ideas. If you want any of that info, just let me know! I hope you can get it...you will love it!

I just thought of something...you may have meant the Cricut Create which is the size of the smaller one, but has more stuff to it. That is the new of the 2. Right now on that site I gave you, Cricut Create is $189 with one free cartridge.

It is $75 for the cutter, it has the mat, the machine and I think the cartridge it comes with. Then $25 for the Mickey cartridge. I'm not in a big rush to get one, but if it is a good deal I figured I would pick it up.

Wow! I think that sounds like a great deal! Did you get it?

KimberlySRN · 10-06-2009, 11:26 AM

I'm going to go look at it tomorrow.

I always wanted the bigger one, but figured I would try it out and make sure I like it and use it before the bigger one. Plus I love anything Disney! Thank you so much for the info.

So... I went up to... And I bought it.

It was in really good condition, very clean and she even showed me how to use it. I also bought the Mickey and Friends cartridge. It makes really cute diecuts. We are driving to the craft store to buy some paper for me to play with. What kind of paper do you use? And any extras I should have? She gave me two new mats and two used ones. She said the little spatula works well. Also I was thinking of the deep cutting blade, but how often do you really use it ?
