Cricut Spatula Tool Cricut Spatula Tool

Reviews

This is a must have for any Cricut owner. This does the job very well. I would prefer for it to be narrower, but as is, it works for my needs.

I agree with another reviewer who stated this should be included with the Cricut. It is a necessary tool and prevents tears, particularly when cutting intricate shapes. It is also awesome for scooping up little cutouts that would otherwise be so stuck to the mat they'd be mangled. When I am cutting, I get annoyed trying to get cutouts off the mat without this tool- usually resorting to bending the mat and trying to catch an edge with a fingernail. While I think this is a necessary cricut accessory, I also appreciate that it is sold seperately as I have purchased several. When friends come to craft or my kids use the Cricut with me, it is nice to have several on hand. The spatula functions very well and the original one I bought still looks and works like new even after a couple years of use and abuse. This is not a great tool to clean leftover scraps off the mats, however. It is time consuming to pick individual pieces off the mat and cricut makes a triangular scraper tool that is much better for getting the little bits left behind. Yes, Cricut is waging a war of attrition against the bank accounts of their loyal customers- but I've come to accept that its par for the course in the scrapbooking/crafting industry. Still, I do love my Cricut as it allows me to take my projects to a whole other level and I get a ton of use and satisfaction out of it making things for my kids classes, cards, invitations. If you have made the investment in a Cricut, it seems like it is more than worthwhile to drop a few dollars here and there for accessories that improve functionality and efficiency. This is a must have tool if you have a cricut.

This is a must have for any Cricut owner! It helps separate the paper from the tacky cutting mat without damaging what you just cut. But I also use it for other crafts...

I got this as a gift with my new Cricut, someone told my husband it was a must have and I agree. It makes removing my creations much easier. Maybe a kitchen tool could be used but this is worth it.

If you use a Cricut machine, you need the spatula. ProvoCraft should include it with the machine, as everyone needs one. It's well made, and it is essential.

Cricut 29-0002 Replacement Cutting Blades for Cricut Cutting Machines Cricut 29-0002 Replacement Cutting Blades for Cricut Cutting Machines

Reviews

Not sure if it's just in my head, but the sharpness of the replacement blade seems duller than the original blade that came with the machine???!? I've debated getting the deep blade to replace the standard (that has more settings - this only goes up to 6). Still debating because I'm not impressed with the replacement blades - i do have the deep cutting blade which is great for thicker items like felt, and foam. For the price, I'd expect more than 2 - I've just replaced my blade after having the machine for 2 months (I'm not a scrap-booker), I can't imagine how often a scrap-booker will go through a blade. Amazon has great prices for them - it's been hard using the store coupons for the Cricut accessories. So far only Hobby Lobby will accept them. Michael's refuses to because it violates their agreement with Cricut. You HAVE to use their blades to make your cricut work - so the real debate would be where to buy them, and how to get them at the best price - keep checking out Amazon, I've noticed the pricing has fluctuated in the last 2 months by a few dollars.

As my title states, this product is necessary to buy when you own a Cricut. I use my Cricut a lot so I use many of these blades. I will continue to buy my blades from Amazon because they are priced well and I do not have to pay shipping.

The product works great -- arrived on-time, as promised. I am very pleased & will definitely order this type of product from Amazon again.

One could easily think that they are supposed to get 3-10 sets of these blades based on the original price. Someone either messed up with the price, or more likely they are trying to get people to buy these under false pretenses and misleading advertising.

It is full of lots of fun new images that I could hardly wait to cut. My son loves all the vehicles on it!! Worth the money for any scrapper with kids. You will use it often.

I've seen these listed on amazon for insane prices too ($50 or $60) Right now though they are reasonable at $12.00 per set of 2 (this is the same price walmart charges minus the tax) plus they are having a buy 3 get 4 sale right now! I am paying $4.50 per mat or $9.00 for the set (I've just purchased 20 sets) This price is better then any I've seen anywhere online and considering Joann and Michaels won't accept 40% coupons for them it's better then any price I've found elsewhere. Please comment/respond to my review if you can find a better deal or if amazon is offering a better special or base price :-)

Why is the mat $63.00? they usually run no more than $16. I would not buy this.

This is a steal! As in, you are being robbed if you buy these mats at this price! These sell at craft stores for around $15 for two. Order online from JoAnns or Hobby Lobby. Save your money for more cartridges. I just can't believe the price!

$49.99 is a crazy high price for these mats. Mats are good, price is too high

The cutting mat was a little too sticky when new. It was hard to get smaller cut pieces off without tearing. It did not stay tacky as long as I thought it should last, but I may not be using it correctly. Hopefully, as I use the machine more, it will work more effectively for me.

Provo Craft Gypsy Silicone Sleeve, Black Provo Craft Gypsy Silicone Sleeve, Black

Reviews

This silicone skin/cover for the ProvoCraft Gypsy, Gypsy Protective Silicone Skin, Black is a great accessory for the Cricut Gypsy. It gives the Gypsy protection and a little cushion and it's cute. Of all the colors available, I prefer the black one. It looks most like the Gypsy itself and it's attractive but not too child-like or flashy. I'm not knocking the other designs -- I just preferred this one. The silicone skin/cover hugs the device and keeps it from getting scratched. It also comes with a screen cover to prevent scratches and a nice gold-toned stylus that compliments the design on silicone cover. Happy Crafting!

This cart has a lot on it and I use it a lot. Very much worth the money!

I bought this from BargainPack.com and it is by FAR the best one out there so far. It is wonderful and has so much of anything you will want and need. Hundreds of images. I have a dozen or more cartridges to my collection, and this is the one I reach for the most often. My next favorite is Going Places. It is excellent also. This is one everyone needs!!
