The Cricut Expression Machine is larger than most die cut machines so it needs to stay on a work table or in a media room.It is not meant to be portable or to be moved from room to room.However, the larger size of this machine not only allows for 12×12 paper, but also mats up to as large as 12×24.  This means you get twice the size of die cuts from the same machine!  The Cricut machines all use the same cartridges and same blades, so you can use any Cricut cartridge for the Cricut Expression Machine.You don’t have to have a computer to use this machine; just use the LCD screen which will show you precisely what you will be cutting and what the size will be without making any mistakes.

This makes the Cricut Expression machine perfect for scrapbooking projects, as well as for making classroom banners, party decorates and other teaching tools.Just think of the party decorations you can design and create with this machine or how you can put the cartridges to use creating teaching aids for your children that are homeschooled.  Many appreciate the larger size dies that are created with the Cricut Expression Machine and remember too that creating individual elements and layering them can make for an amazing page in any scrapbook.

Remember too that with the Cricut Expression Machine you can purchase many different cartridges from Cricut.Cricut also has licensed characters available, like Disney, Sesame Street and others, as well as a huge variety of fonts for titles.  You can also purchase shape cartridges for your Cricut Expression Machine so you can cut out simple shapes and those you may use for a variety of reasons; decorate or stamp them before adding them to your scrapbooks for even more visual interest.
