What is the Cricut Maker?
The Cricut Maker is a digital die-cutter that can cut, draw, score and perforate paper, cardboard, vinyl, textiles, leather, balsa wood, and iron on materials. This is an amazingly versatile machine that is extremely popular with crafters. You can create a wide variety of projects with precision and ease.
The Cricut comes with its own software program, Cricut Design Space, which is compatible with Windows and Mac. Design Space is a free subscription that gives you access to a variety of predesigned projects. You can also add your own creations to Design Space to be cut out by the machine.
