Cricut’s sleek new machines are making crafting even more simple
Cricut are pretty good at continuing to innovate to make DIY and crafting easy, and their two new machines are no exception.
The Cricut Joy 2 and Cricut Explore 5 are both great updates on their predecessor models – not just in their efficiencies but in their product design too.
They represent the start of a new era for Cricut users, including a sleeker modern machine design, a dramatically simplified, guided software experience, and all the tools and materials needed to get making right out of the box.
Here’s what we’re in for:
Introducing Cricut Joy 2: Cute. Compact. Clever.
Cricut Joy 2 – available in a two-toned blue colourway – is Cricut’s most compact cutting machine. Perfect for fast, fun, everyday creations like custom cards, labels, simple decals, and now, for the first time, full-colour stickers thanks to its all-new Print Then Cut sensor.
Introducing Cricut Explore 5: Sleek. Speedy. Simplified.
Cricut Explore 5 – available in neutral taupe colourway – is the newest evolution of one of Cricut’s most popular cutting machines, redesigned to be 30 per-cent more compact than the previous generation so it fits more naturally into modern homes — without sacrificing performance or capability.
Ideal for cutting vinyl decals, making custom clothing, full-colour stickers, cards, wedding and party decor, and specialty projects like magnets, Cricut Explore 5 is compatible with six tools* and features an improved writing and drawing experience with snap-in pen loading and a streamlined interface.
Perfect for new Cricut users in particular, both machines will be sold as an Essentials Bundle, including thoughtfully curated tools and accessories to help you start making right away.
In line with the new machines, Cricut Design Space will also see updates described as a “reimagined design experience”, with new Guided Flows, Project Preview and Create AI – all developed to make crafting with Cricut even simpler.
