bit.ly GET FREE SHIPPING on the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter (29-0001) The Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter is a portable machine that cuts letters, shapes, and phrases at the touch of a button. Without the need for a computer, the Cricut machine can cut characters from 1" up to 5.5" tall and 11.5" wide from a variety of materials, including vellum, paper, cardstock, and vinyl. The original Cricut machine is a cartridge-based system-it uses small, lightweight cartridges to cut complete font or shape sets. Cartridge content can be customized in up to six different ways, offering thousands of variations on each cartridge. The machine is also easy to use. Simply attach your paper to the cutting mat (it has a slightly tacky surface to hold the material in place), load it into the machine, insert your cartridge, and make your cutting selection, and press cut. Users can even control the size and the style of the cut with the machine's simple controls. The machine will quickly and electronically cut out the desired letter, shape, or phrase in seconds! This portable cutter weighs only 9 pounds and has a handle for convenient transportation. Designer carrying totes designed just for the Cricut machine further help users take the machine with them when they're on the go. The Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter comes bundled with the George and Basic Shapes™ cartridge, one 6" x 12" cutting mat, one power adapter, and user manuals
