Q: Does this cut 8.5 in x 11 in sticker paper into 1 in squares?

submitted by Kids projects - 2 years ago
  • A: Max material width is 5.5 so you would have to trim the 8.5 x11 to fit before cutting into squares.

    submitted byCraftyS - 2 years ago
  • A: No.

Q: If I was wanting to cut out a donut sticker with a center cut in the "hole" part of the donut, would this machine do that? Also does this function as a printer since it states it is a Writing Machine

submitted by jack123 - 2 years ago
  • A: The machine would absolutely be capable of cutting that! While the Joy is not a traditional printer with ink, it does have the ability to draw/write using Cricut pens in junction with the Design Space software.

Q: Can this machine cut crepe paper? Also can it cut multiple sheets at once?

submitted by Bebe - 5 years ago
  • A: Crepe paper is NOT a food item. It is a light, crinkly paper that is PRIMARILY used for party streamers. This being said, it PROBABLY won't work in the Cricut.

    submitted byHmmmmmmmmmmno - 4 years ago
  • A: We don't recommend cutting any food products with our machine as they aren't made with food safety in mind. We also don't have specific settings for multiple layers of product as it needs to stick to the mat or go through the smart rollers in order to feed through the machine. If you have any further questions let us know! cricut.com/contact

    Great size for any room in the house

    I love the compact size that I can easily take anywhere in my home. I’m very happy to see the Joy xtra and the new Joy 2! The Joy is just as precise in it’s cutting as my Maker is.

    Joy Issues

    Your website is not easy. Had trouble connecting my new Joy. Your techs were no help. Very awkward to work on my cell phone. It will not work with my tablet. My other Joy used to work with my tablet, then it quit working with my tablet. Again cell phone is awkward to maneuver in your website.
    1 reply from Cricut team - 20 days ago
    Thank you so much for your response. We’re so sorry to hear that your Joy is not connecting. Our team would love to help get this resolved for you as quickly as possible. Please reach out to our Member Care team with your details, and we’ll work with you to get everything up and running again. We look forward to helping you!

    Cricut Joy – Small Machine, Big Creativity!

    I absolutely love my Cricut Joy! Don’t let the small size fool you — this little machine is a crafting powerhouse. It’s incredibly compact and lightweight, which makes it perfect for small spaces and easy to store when not in use. Setup is quick and simple, and Design Space is easy to use. Within minutes of unboxing you can be cutting custom vinyl decals and personalized labels. It’s perfect for making greeting cards, organizing labels, small home décor projects, and even heat transfer designs for shirts. One of my favorite features is how precise and clean the cuts are. Whether I’m working with vinyl, cardstock, or iron-on material, the results look professional every time. I also love that it works with Smart Materials, so I can cut without a mat for certain projects — such a time saver! If you’re new to crafting or want a convenient machine for quick, everyday projects, Cricut Joy is a fantastic choice. It’s affordable, easy to use, and delivers amazing results. Highly recommend!

    Cricut Joy Bundle

    I am glad I got the bundle. I've been able to learn and use it as soon as I opened it. The insert cards and vinyl were a good bargain.

    there's no JOY with my JOY

    The fact that the Joy is designed for Bluetooth -only. Most of the time, there's an issue getting connected and staying connected. That's why I rarely use my Joy. I bought it for doing smaller projects. I'm having to use my maker instead.

    The joy machine is a great starter .

    Compact and efficient and easy to use . Very excited to receive one as a gift . Does take up much room and good investment if you are unable to purchase a larger cricut . The Joy is versatile if this is the only one you can afford .

    Amazing

    I bought the Joy because I was starting up a small business and honestly I just couldn’t afford the larger machines. This little machine does not disappoint! The design space is super easy to use and the machine itself is very lightweight and easy to use. I have since upgraded to the maker 4, and now the kiddos are using the Joy. I highly recommend this machine for anyone starting out just trying to get their foot in the door or for kids! Happy crafting!
