I’m excited to add the Cricut Joy Xtra to my craft room! This post is sponsored by Cricut. All opinions about the machine are my own.
I’ve used the Cricut Joy frequently in the past for creating handmade cards. I love the portability of the Joy, as well as the use of the Smart materials. Yet there were some features from the Cricut Explore machine that I missed not having with the Cricut Joy. Enter the new Cricut Joy Xtra!
What Makes the Cricut Joy Xtra Different than the Cricut Joy?
The Cricut Joy Xtra cuts over 50 different materials and features print then cut availability. The Easy Printables Sensor makes precision cuts around inkjet printables to make Print then Cut easier than ever before. But my favorite thing is the larger project size! The Cricut Joy Xtra creates projects up to 8.5″ and 11″ on a machine mat and up 4′ with Smart materials.
Why Another Cricut Machine?
Cricut wants every crafter to have a machine that is perfect for them. So if the Cricut Joy didn’t do quite enough and the Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker is too large, then the Cricut Joy Xtra is perfect!
What Comes in the Cricut Joy Xtra Box?
The Cricut Joy Xtra includes the basic items that come in other new Cricut machine boxes.
The box includes the Cricut Joy Xtra machine, how-to guides, starter vinyl, the power cord, a Cricut Joy pen, and a small weeding tool.
The Cricut Joy Xtra currently comes in white only. Use it as a blank canvas for creating!
A Cricut Joy Xtra Bundle will also be available.
What Materials Work with the Cricut Joy Xtra?
I’m glad you asked! The Cricut Joy Xtra works with so many materials, and the 350gf of cut pressure means that I only need one blade to cut them all. To name just a few, the Cricut Joy Xtra works with Printable Sticker Paper, Printable Vinyl, Printable Iron-on, Printable Waterproof Sticker Sets, Smart Kraft Labels, Smart Writable Vinyl, Smart Iron-on, Smart Vinyl, and more!
I hope that you are as excited about the New Cricut Joy Xtra as I am. Head here to learn more!
