WOW! SUCH GREAT FAST SHIPPING!🚐✈️ Thanks so much HSN! Crafting will be on my TO DO LIST next week. I can’t wait to try out all of my new crafting items I ordered and received so fast! Again many THANKS for putting sunshine ☀️😎 into my life. Much needed these days. 😷🥰 Sending germ free hugs to all.

I really liked the 24 hr Crafting Show on May 5th. They had a nice variety of vendors this time. Thank you HSN! I bought several items. I really like Suzanne and really enjoy Adam and Sara together. So fun! Great day!

“You will never regret being nice!” Love Suzanne! She really is a crafter and has so many great ideas. She used to be a craft vendor years ago, so she knows a lot about crafting.

I have been using the Customer Live Chat feature and it’s really nice. I always get my problem solve thru this feature.

Yes……I think they are pretty much the same. I have both. Anna’s machines are a little more compact (smaller).

What does some products coming from China have to do with it. As always some crafting products have always come from China. It’s about their marketing tactics and making a profit. Just like at Midnight “hurry and purchase” because they only have so many of the TS. Then they for some reason find MORE! SAD VERY SAD! I think we crafters are learning……Today they still have the TS offer in stock! 😱🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Sad 24 hr Crafting Day………😢 Especially for people who are on limited spending expenses. S/H has a lot to do with ones choices.

Which materials can the Joy cut?

Joy can only cut the most common craft materials – paper, card, iron-on, vinyl and sticker paper. It’s also the only machine that can cut without a mat, thanks to the new Smart Vinyl and Smart Iron On technology (another feature that makes it quicker and simpler to use).

Joy also has the additional option of the Card Mat. This allows you to slot a folded card blank into the mat, before cutting it out. (Other machines have to cut the card flat, not folded, which takes a little longer to set up and align correctly).

It cannot cut heavy materials like chipboard and balsa wood, nor can it cut any fabric.

Joy is also the only one of the three machines that cannot do “print and cut”, a process where you print an image, then the Cricut scans it and cuts out very specific sections.

Who is the Joy for?

Unlike the others, Joy not aimed specifically at crafters. It’s more suited to everyday family use – whether that’s last minute birthday cards, or making custom storage labels for the kitchen or office.

The Cricut Joy explains: What is the Cricut Joy?

Joy is the newest Cricut cutting machine, announced in February 2020. It’s the smallest of them all, just over 8″ wide and weighing only 1.75 kg (3.85 lbs). This makes it really portable – perfect for quick makes around the home. Its tiny size means it can easily be tucked away on a shelf or in a cupboard between uses.

The whole reason behind the Cricut Joy is ease of use. It has a simplified interface and tool port, and is operated completely from the Design Space app (no buttons on the machine itself). This takes away several steps in the making process, making it that little bit quicker and simpler to use. However, it can still cut to the same incredible level of accuracy as all other Cricut machines.

It can also cut much longer designs than the other Cricut models: up to 4 foot continuous designs, or up to 20 foot repeated designs. Perfect for simple banners, party decorations and wall decals.

However, just note that because it’s smaller than the others, it has a maximum cutting width of 4.25″. (The others can cut up to 11.5″ in width).

Of course! Nothing new ever uses something old. I still use my old Cricut with the cartridges. 😬

They give you $3.00 off the product and then charge you $5.50 for shipping & handling………SUCH A DEAL! I don’t think so. I loved spending 24 hrs watching Craft Day and I always bought amazing crafting items. But yesterday was a complete disaster………..😢

Go to Anna Griffin Fishing School website. There are 3 levels and one is free to look at the ideas, the other levels you have to pay for. You have to set up an account then put the free level in your cart and check out. Hope this helps.
