Your crafting ideas can come alive with a Cricut. It works with more than 300 different materials and is compatible with over 13 different tools (sold separately), so you can cut, score, write, engrave and more. This bundle includes the Cricut cutting machine as well as the EasyPress heat press and EasyPress mat for heat transfers, EveryDay Iron-On 12 x 12 foot heat transfer vinyl rolls in white and black (just think of all the custom tees and totes you can create), as well as the basic Cricut tool set, 3 standard grip mats and 30 digital content images to get you started.

Starting up the Cricut is easy with the companion app, where you can choose from a library of designs or start from scratch and create your own. From there, you select the material you want to work with and assemble your project pieces and apply your design to any surface: Think wall decals, sweatshirt iron-ons and handmade cards. The Cricut Heat Press transfers the designs. The ceramic-coated plate has safety features, including an insulated base and automatic shutoff.

With the precision of the Cricut, even DIY beginners can have more professional looking results for tons of different projects. One customer says, “I love how versatile it is for projects like cards, decals, labeling and even DIY home stuff. It’s definitely an investment but is totally worth it if you love crafting.” Getting the bundle can save time and money when you consider the amount of accessories the Cricut can be used with as well.
