You know how much we love Cricut. One of the questions we get asked a lot is “which Cricut should I buy?” and to be honest, that is a hard question because we love all the Cricut machines. There are definitely differences between them, though. Today we are focusing on the Cricut Maker! We have an entire Cricut Maker Review that you can read, as well as in-depth posts about the Cricut Knife Blade  and Cricut Rotary Blades!

I love my Cricut Maker because with its adaptive tool system, there are SO many different materials it can cut. As a result, the crafting possibilities are endless. Today, I thought it would be fun to SHOW you how versatile this machine is with ten of our favorite Cricut Maker projects.
