The Circuit Joy Craft Cutting Machine from Amazon

DIY crafts can be a lot of fun, especially as we spend more time at home due to WFH or avoiding getting sick from Covid-19. To that end, this cute little smart machine is a nice addition to your DIY setup, allowing you to create custom labels and cards easily. Even better, it’s on sale at Amazon for just $99, down from $179.

So what can you do with the Cricut Joy Machine? Create vinyl stickers to customize your laptop, print labels to keep your kitchen cupboard organized, or design birthday cards for family and friends. Just pick a project in the accompanying digital app, then the Circuit Joy writes and cuts your craft. You can work with over 50 material types from simple cardboard stock to vinyl decals and iron-on patches for all your creative pursuits. 

The design app runs on PCs and mobile phones, and comes stocked with pre-made designs to choose from (or, you have the option to create your own customized design). Once you have a design, it’s just a simple matter of feeding the material in and letting the Circut Joy do its thing. While the maximum width of any material you use is 5.5-inches, it’s still quite a bit to work with, although you can grab the Cricut Explore 3 which has a maximum width of 13-inches if you need the extra width.

You’ll also be happy to know that the Cricut can also write, so if you want to add some styling in the form of text, you can do that too. Also, another thing we certainly appreciate is that it’s so small and compact, weighing just 3.9-pounds and measuring 8.4-inches by 4.3-inches; it can fit pretty much go anywhere with you.

If you’re looking to up your craft game, the Cricut Joy is the perfect little device. Grab one from Amazon while the deal is live!
