Q: What smart materials samples does it come with and what are they for ?
submitted by Aaaal - 8 months ago
A: Thank you for your question. We at Cricut do not have information about what is in the Target bundle, but it would likely be a combination of Cricut vinyl, which is great for applying to walls, car windows, notebooks, water bottles and more. It would also likely contain Iron On materials, which are for making designs to be ironed onto T-shirts, hats, bags, decorative pillows, etc. The bundle might have "smart" materials, meaning that they can be cut in the Cricut Machine without a mat. Materials that don't say "Smart" will require a mat to be cut in the Joy Xtra. If you have more questions you can visit Cricut.com to see a wider variety of the materials we offer.

submitted by Hanu - 9 months ago

Q: Can the Cricut Joy or Cricut Joy Xtra cut small letters like 1/8" in height??? And what is the difference between these two machines? Thank you.
submitted by Tolefairie - 2 years ago
A: Going as small as 1/8 of an inch, results may vary depending on the intricacy of the font. We recommend testing on copy paper before committing to the project material. The biggest difference is that the Joy Xtra has the ability to do Print then Cut projects, whereas the Joy does not.
The Cricut Joy Xtra is a versatile and compact cutting machine that excels in portability and ease of use, making it ideal for crafting on the go. Guests appreciate its ability to handle various materials and its print then cut functionality, which enhances creativity for projects like stickers and cards. While it is perfect for smaller tasks, some guests have noted challenges with software compatibility and mat loading. Overall, it is a great addition for both beginners and experienced crafters looking for a reliable machine.

Great beginner machine!
A great beginner machine if you are new to Cricut. The machines offers Print then Cut capability while being able cut cardstock, sticker paper, vinyl, and iron-on. The machines also uses Cricut Smart materials that allow users to cut without having to use a mat. This is my favorite machine and is great to use on the go!

Great addition to the cricut lineup
Love the compact size and still able to print then cut 8.5x11 piece of paper. It’s a great addition to the cricut family. Not too small not too big, it has its place. Cuts well and accurately. I’ve enjoyed having it

Enjoying My Cricut Joy Xtra
My children purchased the Cricut Joy Xtra as a gift for me. I have a Maker, Explore Air and a Joy. The Joy Xtra is great and reliable. It's a bit larger than the Joy and smaller than the Maker and Explore which makes it very versatile. It cuts well with the materials I have used and I finds it also cuts accurately.

Small but mighty
I bought my Cricut Joy Xtra to cut signage for vacation Bible school. I needed a machine that could cut up to 4 feet and my Joy Xtra was perfect for the job. After that, it became my machine of choice, until I discovered the Maker.

Always has a place on my desk.
This is the perfect machine to leave up on my desk. I do a lot of print-to-cut sticker labels for my micro-business, all on printer-paper size stock. I love my Maker, and I use it regularly. And the Joy Xtra is my go-to when I'm working in that size paper format.

I love the option of a more portable machine!
I purchased my Joy Xtra about a year ago and I love how easy it is to adapt the materials I already have to use in this smaller machine. I sometimes like to work in different areas of my house and tis machine is so portable it makes it very easy. I have found that the Jit Xtra is every bit as accurate as my Maker 3 and it cuts quickly and thoroughly.

One of my best craft purchases.
There isn't much more to say other than it's fun, it fills my need to be creative, and allows me to make personalized things that otherwise would be very costly.

Just the right size.
I received the Cricut Joy Extra as a gift, I really like it for the mat (8.5 x 11) paper size, I don’t feel like I am wasting as much materials as I was with the larger formats. Another plus is the print and cut function, it works great! It’s just easy to pack up and take with us while we travel during the summer.

Love the portability.
I bought this machine to enable my Mom, who is 94, to make some simple projects for the bulletin board in her nursing home. It’s easy to take to her as it is more difficult for her to come to my house and use the Maker 3. I can use my current account to save projects that I know she can make. The machine is smaller than the maker, but will suit for the projects she can do. My daughter also wants to learn to use the cricut, and this allows me to take the machine to her place as well.
1 reply from Cricut team - 2 months ago
This is such a heartfelt reason to choose a Cricut! I love that you’re making it easier for your mom to stay creative and share joy with her community, and that it’s something you can also enjoy with your daughter. It sounds like the perfect fit for your family!
