I’ve always loved your informative and helpful videos! They are what helped started me in this world of crepe paper craft!
I’m looking to purchase the Cricut Maker but unable to find online source that sells only the machine. I don’t want the bundle option, do you have any reliable retailer online that you can recommend? The link provided to purchase on this page doesn’t seem to work anymore.
Thank you Lia! I just purchased a Cricut Maker after having the Explore Air 2 for 3 years. Your lesson helped me figure out what additional blades I might need to buy. I won’t revive the machine until next week but then I will make some of your projects that I can share.
That is partially true, but not really true. It does not require a mat for the Cricut branded “smart materials”. These are Cricut’s own heat transfer vinyl, decal vinyl, and label paper. I feel they are doing a disservice by letting people think this machine is matless. For anything that does not have a backer, like paper, felt, crepe paper, you will still need a mat.
Good Morning
All three links outdates. Circut just gives you and error message and the Silhouette 4 link is now to a site called swing design. It has all makes models and accessories in one site. I have not used it but it looks interesting in all is in one web site.

It looks like Walmart has the best price right now from what I can see.

Maker 3 doesn’t require mat, is there any tip to put the paper?

Is the Cricut Maker 3 an updated machine from the Cricut Maker?
It is the newer version, yes.
