For projects with wider images or materials that need a bit more cutting power, like leather and fabrics, you’ll make that magic with your full-size machine. Obviously it is no competition for the large Cricuts like the air or maker however if you are looking for something just to create smaller projects, cards, stickers and you don't have the room or the budget for larger Cricuts, then the Joy is perfect. You also won't need a cutting mat thanks to the Cricut Joy's compatibility with Cricut Smart Materials, though you may wish to use cutting mats if you're using traditional vinyl.

It's a great stepping stone between die cutting machines and the larger machines in the Cricut family and will encourage the less confident tech users to have a go. Limited as to what you can do with it which is abit sad and I do wish we had payed that little bit extra for one of the bigger Cricut machines so that I could use it more for the crafts that I do.Design space is easy to use and very intuitive for creating your own designs (and many ready to make projects are also available). Thank You Ashish and the amazing team at Cricut who invented, tested and marketed JOY, to the staff at Hobbycraft who didn’t mind me pressing my nose up against the window to see the display whilst waiting for the doors to open on release day and the cashiers for understanding and sharing in my excitement.
