Currently there are 3 machines residing in my household (well two since my Sis-in-law borrowed one). After each addition, my husband would question the need for yet another one that did basically the same thing. There’s several ways that I could have approached his skepticism, but I decided to give him a response that would fit into his frame of reference.
Walking out to the garage, I surveyed the various carpentry tools he had on shelves and carts. The names and purpose of most of them were beyond me, so I started asking him questions. Once I received a thorough overview of key pieces in his collection, I smiled at him in triumph. I pointed out in quick succession his handsaw, electric saw and table saw as I said: Cricut, Cricut Expression, and Cricut Explore. He’s never complained about one of my purchases again!
Introducing the New Cricut Explore One™

This nifty new machine is called the Cricut Explore One™ and it’s perfect for crafing beginners and basic crafters because it offers a simplified design-and-cut system that is incredibly user-friendly.
