Top 10 Reasons to Own the Cricut Explore

By now I am sure you know how much I love my Cricut Explore, it is my favorite craft tool and I use it almost daily. I’ve been a loyal fan of Cricut since the very first machine made it’s debut on the HSN, thanks to my mom who made an impulse purchase and bought one while she was home sick from work. And while I’ve always been a fan, the Cricut Explore changed my world. Simply put, this machine is awesome and I think everyone should own one. Which is why I’ve put together my Top 10 Reasons to Own the Cricut Explore and I’m sharing a special Black Friday deal (good through Monday) so make sure you read all the way through!

So much easier, and just imagine what you can fill all that space with now that you don’t have to store cartridges any more!

7. USE YOUR OWN FONTS WITH THE CRICUT EXPLORE

If you are a font junkie like me you will love the new Cricut Explore. You can cut any font you have downloaded on your computer or use the extensive library in the Design Space. I made menus for our Thanksgiving dinner using some of my favorite fonts, and can you believe that the Cricut Explore did everything including the writing, scoring and cutting?!

8. THE CRICUT EXPLORE CUTS MORE MATERIALS THAN SILHOUETTE

Fabric, Paper, Leather, Wood and 50 other materials can be cut with the Cricut Explore. The German carbide blade is made to last and easily cuts through almost any material you can imagine.
