Cricut Joy Xtra Cutting Machine with Rainbow Smart Vinyl Sampler Bundle

I bought my Cricut Joy Xtra with a full package of items and a subscription on a Black Friday whim. Im a Scrapbooker and wanted to be able to make more titles... thats it. Little did I know it would be so easy to use that it gave me unbridled confidence. Why, yes I can make customized thermal wine containers. Why yes I can make custom ephemera. Why yes I can make precise stickers for this exact event. The materials are high quality. I am so glad I bought my Joy Xtra. Oh yah! I do make titles and I use it to journal! Its so great.

I've used this machine for a few years; it is my go-to for work. I can prep crafts and decorations for my classroom, and I gift machines to others in similar jobs because I find them so useful. I haven't found too many errors in how well it cuts the materials I use.

This is my 6th Cricut machine. Love the machine. bought this one for my summer home. bought the kit so I didn't have to buy individual items and my mat was not in my box. I am not very happy about that. I'm in a location that it's not easy to go to a store and buy things like this.

This is the perfect machine to leave up on my desk. I do a lot of print-to-cut sticker labels for my micro-business, all on printer-paper size stock. I love my Maker, and I use it regularly. And the Joy Xtra is my go-to when I'm working in that size paper format.

I'm frustrated. No instructions on how to use design space. I'm at a complete standstill will an expensive machine and I have no clue how to use it. Have tried utube videos but they don't explain in enough detail. Don't know which type of mat to use, how to make something from design space 😩😖😖😖😩

I am so glad I bought this! I'm finding myself using it constantly. The size is perfect and I'm doing tons of print and cut projects. It's so easy to slide it around on my work surface, and it's absolutely ideal for anything involving 8.5x11 paper. (I have an original Maker that's been struggling due to eroded rubber rollers, and I've hardly used it since I got my Joy Xtra.)

Was very excited to finally get and use a Cricut for my crafting, and everything was great until I ran the Cricut Design Space app, which is required to use the Cricut, and it only throws generic errors and refuses to run. I've tried to resolve this for several weeks, trying everything I can find on the support site or elsewhere online and none have worked. Despite tons of people running into this issue there is no apparent solution to getting this software working on a Windows 11 PC, making the device useless. If anyone from Cricut sees this, I am an experienced desktop software developer and would love to help get this problem fixed. If I can provide any info, testing, repro steps, or core dumps, please reach out to me. My order # is 182779901 to assist in looking up my order and contact info.

I absolutely love my Cricut Joy Xtra! It’s perfect for small business use and personal projects. The machine is easy to set up and use, even if you’re new to Cricut. It cuts vinyl beautifully and the included sampler packs are a great bonus to get started right awa

It was a learning curve for me. I bought it to only cut out paper ephemera. It's supposed to accept jpegs but it won't accept all of them. Some jpegs have to be resized tp pngs to work. That is frustrating. But I'm adapting. So all i all i like it.

I really wanted to like this product, but it has issues. It's tricky to get the mat to load correctly and it bends the corners that you have to trim off. I wanted to do alot of stickers on the Xtra but it doesn't cut them good. I have calibrated the machine twice, but it still cuts off. I have tried using the Joy smart paper sticker cardstock on a mat using the Xtra, but it doesn't cut it good at all. I put the pressure to more but that didn't help. When I try to remove the sticker from the sheet, it tears below the sticker and the sticky part of the sticker is left on the mat. I have wasted too much sticker paper to try much more. When I switch to my Maker 3, I don't have the problem. It's frustrating that I can't use the Xtra for what I bought it for, stickers. I need to add that it cuts vinyl just fine.
