Thank you for the great video! The Cricut Joy Xtra seems super cool. I've been wanting a Cricut for a while, and I think if I got this I would use it to make a lot of print then cut stickers. I just think it is so cool to be able to make stickers at home!!!
Congratulations, Annie! YOU are the winner of my Cricut Joy Xtra cutting machine, the same one you see in this video that Cricut sent me for review. I've already sent you an email about it. I'm looking forward to your reply!!
I have always been a very artsy person yet never thought of getting a Cricut till now. Went to Michael's today and found myself standing there completely clueless. The girl who assisted me told me not to buy anything and to first watch you before I made any decisions. I'm happy I did, this is exactly what I need at least as a beginner. Not only were you extremely helpful but your vibe and sweet energy had me smiling the entire video. Im looking forward to learning more with you. Thank You for sharing. Sincerely your new follower , Anabel 💜🥰🦋
I am a middle school nurse. I would like to make stickers for the many students that are struggling with their sense of well being with words of kindness and affirmations. Being a tween/teen is a big adjustment. I just want them to know that they are valued and heard.
I use my Cricut Joy Xtra to make computer programming challenge completion badge stickers for my students. You should totally do the kindness and affirmation stickers!
I would love to get one of these cricut joy xtra. That way, I can share it with my Mom and daughters. I would enjoy teaching my mom how to do sublimation bags and t-shirts. For here birthday this month I took my cricut maker to her house and we made a tiger bag together with heat vinyl. She loved learning how to make it. And it let's use spend quality time together.
Firstly, I'd like to say how much I love watching your tutorials and the enjoyment you get by sharing everything with us. Secondly, I received the cricut Joy, a couple of years ago, as a Christmas gift from my son. I have fallen in love with it. Then, just this past Christmas, I received the Mug Press as a gift from my mum. I've made gifts for friends, etc, and am still learning. I don't have much space at home, so I have a small designated spot for all my materials and machines. As I've been learning, I became disappointed that I couldn't print then cut or that it doesn't have multiple sized blades. As I am an Early Childcare Educator, I wanted so much to make my own original stickers that can be specific to what we are learning about. Even just to make special design prints for clothing for my family, etc. A friend asked me if I could make her 15 mugs, for this coming Christmas, as gifts for family, each one specific to that person and I loved the challenge. When she asked if I could use an image of her son's car on it. I was so disappointed to tell her I couldn't. Good luck to the lucky person who gets it. En-Joy making Xtra fun designs. I'm from Australia and think this is for US citizens, just wanted to say how much I love your tutorials ❤❤
I’ve hesitated on purchasing a joy even though I know it would help in my card making. Now I know why- I was waiting for this! The print and cut feature is something I think I’ll use often. I predict this will be a big seller this holiday season!
I’m so excited for this cricut joy xtra! Working in a day surgery unit, we have some pediatric patients but our giveaways are adult geared. I would use it to creat iron ons for our reusable belongings bags and stickers for the water cup to make our giveaways more kid-friendly!
This looks great! The print and cut feature is a game changer for the Joy. I love it! As a teacher, making personalised reward stickers would be great.
I would take it on vacations and make our own personalized souveniers while we are there instead of trying to remember the moments afterwards and find the time when we get back and the moments have passed. It would be so much fun to make photo ski stickers after a day on the hill and and put them on your helment the next day on the slopes! The xtra is small enough to fit in the suitcase and can stay protected with the puffy ski wear.
I do love the look of the Joy Xtra, your video is so helpful and with all the new materials it makes it so much easier for a beginner crafter like myself to understand how to use them properly. I volunteer at a Special Needs school, with the Joy xtra being portable it will give me a chance to get students involved in crafting too. I would be using it for personalised stickers, making display boards in school and general paper crafting with the children, thank you.
I travel a lot, so this size would be ideal!!! I would love to make kindness rocks with this machine. I could make so many designs (especially with the new materials) to inspire kindness, hope and joy to people around the country. Sometime people need a little pick-me-up or inspiration…I could definitely do that with the Cricut Joy Xtra!!! Thank you for the chance to win!
The Cricut Joyxtra is a great step up. I would definitely use it to do crafts like arabesque ornaments for a craft fair that I participate in for the upcoming holiday season. Since I have limited space to crafts, it would totally be a game changer for me. Thanks for the video and all your true thoughts on it.
I would love to have a JOY! I have fun bringing my cricut stuff to work to teach the seniors how to make fun things and this would be so much easier to bring with me!
I love the fact that it is standard paper size🎉 stickers and sublimation are my new obsession! Can’t wait to try it! I work as a vet tech and love making stickers to personalize and decorate all the doggies e-collars when they go home after surgery! This is perfect size to bring to work and not trim paper. I have my original joy there now!
I want to use this to make even more shirts for my Grandkids. I have time to craft on vacation and we take our 5th wheel camper - this would be great to take with me - love your videos and have your playbook and use it a lot.
I was never interested in the Cricut Joy because of it's limited cutting size and no print & cut feature. But, this is a game changer! I would love to take this with me on our trips and vacations so I could craft away. I love making all things, cards, flowers, pop-ups, print & cut stickers. I would definitely make stickers. I put a sticker somewhere on everything I make that says, "handcrafted with love by Nadine Wiley".
Hello Ms. Jennifer! I am your new fan since yesterday. Night before, I prayed to God to give me a sign which path he will take me, and then just saw your crafty and knowledgeable videos. So I decided to stay tune and do more research about what printer I need, materials and cutting machine to start up. I am from the Philippines by the way. I woke up early in the morning to watch videos about sublimation printing and cricut since I want to have a business about arts and crafts. I have a limited resources since I just resigned from my 3months contract job because my husband needs me at the hospital and also need to attend to my growing toddler. I think my last pay fits to buy only Cricut Joy and rethink of a materials for installment. But if I will be lucky to be chosen to have that Cricut Joy Xtra I am so blessed and then use my lastpay for other materials I need to start a business. My husband knows that I want to have a start up business like this but he can't help me since he needs to fill in a savings for emergency. I love to have time for God(Sunday), a family time and time for my business. God bless us all. ❤
I am a 56 year old Grandma with 5 children and 6 grandchildren. Since Covid I have been teaching myself new skills. What better teachable moment than to use the Cricut Joy Xtra to teach my family that you're never too old to learn.
Hello! I work at my local library and I help teach people how to use the Cricut. We actually have Cricut machines that circulate like books from the library and having the Cricut Joy Xtra would help me answer more questions from the library customers and help me be more informed. Myself and another staff member offer free classes once a month to show how to do a certain craft. For example, we are making cards for September. I would love to use the Xtra for stickers, decals, and cards. It would also be fun to try to customize cups.
Wow, I just got the joy yesterday. Still in box, will be sending it back 😊. This new one is a game changer. I have a maker and love what it can do. The joy xtra is small enough to take on a plane when I fly to see my sister. She teaches me new things to make. I bought the joy to make stickers and to let my 7 year old granddaughter make things on a smaller machine. Thanks Jennifer for all your videos and for making projects that are fun to do. 😊😊😊
Dear Jennifer, First of all, thank you so much for this opportunity to be considered to win this darling, new creation. I have had every CRICUT machine since day one. I currently have the Maker that does it all, so WHY would I need the Joy xxtra? RIGHT.... welll ....after watching you today I know why and I WANT AND NEED IT! The possibilities are endless but I would first make stickers and labels. The Print and Cut option is great and a game changer for the JoyXTRA and I cant wait for the new sticker papers to come out . Also taking it to crops and traveling on vacation is awesome since who can take their MAKER to a crop!....haha Thank you again for this opportunity!
I have 2 grandsons & plenty of nieces & nephews. I love doing little extra things for all of the throughout the year & especially on special occasions. My hubby has also started his own business so I enjoy doing things to promote it. Much cheaper than paying someone especially seeing as I am unable to work.
We are in desperate need of organization for my 3 adhd kids! I could print labels to put on things and where they go, I could put picture labels for my daughter who doesn't read yet. I homeschool my kids and working on executive functioning skills by teaching organization will go a long way! Thanks for the helpful video!
This new machine looks amazing! I got married in January of this year and I purchased a Cricut Joy for a lot of DIY decor. Seeing this new machine has my mind racing on all the possibilities for Christmas gifts this year for family. I lived out of state away from family and will not be able to spend holidays with them. This new Cricut Joy Xtra would help me send personalized gifts from the ❤ to all my loved ones!
I became recently disabled and decided to try crafting..watching what that machine does look amazing...I would love to make crafts and stickers and see the awesome things the machine does!!
I have an 8 year old granddaughter. She's been really wanting to get a cricut joy for herself, I just bought a maker and we are learning together watching your videos. Once she saw your video about the Joy Xtra, she really loved it; and would really love to have one. She would make stickers, labels etc.
I am a paraprofessional in a high needs area in an elementary school. As an artistic person I consistently make things around the school and in the classrooms for the students with my own money. Having the Joy Xtra would be a game changer for me. (Any of the cricut machines would definitely be wonderful to have). To know that your giving this away says a lot about you Miss Jennifer, and the heart ❤️ you have. As an influencer, please continue making wonderful videos that we all learn from and keep giving us your heart and honest vision through cricut. Thank you and stay blessed.
Print then cut for 8 1/2 x 11 on the new Cricut Joy XTRA will be wonderful. Not to mention how convenient it will be for on the go! Thank you for the wonderful introduction Jennifer.
I would use it at my high school for my bulletin board. I am a mental health counselor and use the board to provide students with positive affirmations and information on mental health. It has helped students open up! Thank you! I love the size. Perfect for school!
Thanks Jennifer, you always give the xtra details we need. I would use this Cricut Joy Xtra to take with me when I visit friends and family who might be sick or shut in due to health, age or other problems. I think with the diversity of this new machine I could add a little Xtra joy, laughter, fun and the feeling of accomplishment to them. Wow I think the possibilities could be amazing! Imagine encouraging someone by helping them to create their own little craft and watching their eyes glow with excitement and satisfaction. It would be nice to see Senior Centers, Shelters or even Nursing homes add these to their public spaces. They say that laughter is the Best Medicine just imagine what a little Xtra Joy can do for the Soul. So I would make anything I could that brings a smile.
Hi Jenn, I’m a retired senior looking for new ways to create crafts and income. The Cricut machines/products are not in my budget (fixed income) but if selected I would start off with creating stickers. My g-kids love stickers and I am planning to make them journals for Christmas and include some stickers based on their personality.
I would love to make the flower shadow boxes…have 3 coworkers that recently had their first baby, so a great gift for the mom…I love the practicality of the joy xtra, looks like a great traveling tool.
As a special education teacher, I would use the Cricut Xtra to create much needed activities for my students. These would include matching activities, reward stickers & small signs for my classroom. And so much more!
Amazing to have a compact machine for cutting, printing and making projects! I travel a lot to visit family and I have brought my regular Cricut many times, but now I am flying most of the time and this machine opens up the opportunity to have a Cricut that "travels"! My granddies always love the sticker making and we enjoy our together time crafting. Thank you for the opportunity to win this though your generosity! Judy Ashmore
I’m a card maker. The Joy will make cards but not 5x7. I also love the print and cut feature. Again, the ability to print then cut images for ephemera is a game changer!
Everyone loves stickers!! When i was younger i loved crafting and had a childrens toys that cranked out stickers from my own drawings or anything you cut out from newspapers or magazines. That toy sparked my love of making my own stickers. The fact that i can make any sticker my son wants and of things he is currently interested in is the best! I would use it also to print and cut out activities for learning for him. I do have a small space and my cricut air2 gets stored away when not in use and hard to bring in and out and set it up anywhere. I usually set it on the ground. My son could even help me use the xtra and maybe it will spark an interest of crafting for him too.😊
I have watched your video 3 or 4 times already..since I rent a room don't have much room with my wheelchair and furniture...I love the thought of Bing able to make all the items this machine does....I am a creative person and have tons of ideas in my head...I get all excited when you say all that machine can do...thanks for making me smile and get excited about what day making more and more projects..God bless you!!
Thank you Jennifer Maker for your unbiased review, it helps me so much to choose right stuffs and saves me money too. As I am a pre-school teacher I do a lot of paper crafts. I am super excited for Joy Xtra for the paper size I will be able to use in it. My new craft addition will be print then cut stickers. Also I will continue working on regular vinyl and HTV's. It will be one of my dream come true if I could be the winner of this Joy-Xtra! Thank you for all your inspiring videos. God Bless you ALWAYS.
Jennifer, I have just started watching your videos and have found each one so very helpful. I appreciate that you are independent of any manufacturer so your critiques are unencumbered. Thank you for all of your tips. I am telling everyone about you! I have 10 grandchildren ranging from 13 to 1 year of age and my husband has a business that needs lettering on his store front windows- I could do so much with a Circuit Joy Xtra! And tuning in to your videos would make it all the more fun! Thank you for today's episode!
Men have all kinds of toys, now women can have a new toy to have for their crafting. This is another toy that I can put in my DreamBox 2! I love the print and cut feature. It will make making gifts and ornaments easier to make along with my scrapbooking and making all different cards. Cannot wait to have one!
I JUST bought a Joy. I am a new book binder and I plan on using it to make the covers for my books. Hearing you say that you thought the Xtra was the perfect one for beginners and newbies was it for me! I will be returning my joy and waiting for the Xtra. I would love to win this giveaway but either way, that Xtra in mine! Thank you for the review.
Oh Jennifer….I’m SO EXCITED!! I very recently began using my Cricut Joy….I also have a Silhouette Cameo 2, but was a bit intimidated by it. I purchased the Joy on a super sale at Michael’s, and LOVE IT! It would be awesome to get the Joy Xtra now, so that when crafting with my Grandchildren - I can teach them to use and practice on my original Joy, while I create special sticker sets for their collections!! The print-then-cut feature will be SO AMAZING for this!! I HOPE to finally get a small card-making business going!!! Thank you for bringing such “JOY” to us, while inspiring us with your talents! 😘
This is great and exciting news! I was able to retire last year so I’ve stepped up my paper crafting as small side hustle to help ends meet. My son in law found a Joy at a yard sale and gave it to me as a gift. I like it, but it’s always been too small and was disappointed when it would not cut and scan. Thanks so much for your detailed tutorials! It’s much appreciated! I look forward to watching more tutorials on your channel.
I’m so excited about this new Joy! I would use this to make my own labels for my kitchen stuff, make stickers for our Jeep group (waterproof sticker kit…yes please!!), make the most adorable outfits for our Shiba pups and so much more!! I think that it’s small size makes it perfect for traveling and on the go use.
This new Cricut Joy Xtra looks amazing! I love how small a portable it is yet it can create a lot of awesome projects! The Print and cut feature of this machine is definitely a big plus! At my job i'm constantly crafting. We love creating a themed door for each season and hanging decorations that fit the season along with different hanging signs and banners for parties. I've made birthday signs and holiday banners for the different occasions we celebrate. This machine would make crafting so much faster and would give us the opportunity to create different projects.
As an older Australian I think it would be ideal to carry to the desk to use especially when you have arthritic hands like myself , thanks for the chance to win one of these great machines❤
My 2 youngest just started pre-k and kindergarten. So labeling everything they own(more less😂) this would really be a big HELP!! I don’t own any of the Cricuts. Now that I have no kids at home I’ve been looking into buying one(although being on a fixed income and single parent it’s hard to have/save xtra money) to start crafting to keep me busy. It would also come in handy for school projects such as birthdays, holidays, events, and even some homework projects. Thank you for your generosity and giving people a chance to possibly own one!! Many blessings to you and your family! Thank you for your time!
I love that I can make larger iron ons for shirts with the Xtra! And with 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, I can be the cools grandma who makes stickers. 😊 Thank you for the chance to win the Xtra. 💕
I was going to.purchase the Joy next month but saw the newest Joy and got so excited!! I would share it with my fellow scrapbook girls "sisters" when we get together several times a year! In fact, in October we have an event planned. The one girl is very good with the original machine and still uses her Gypsy! Using this for cards, scrapbooking, stickers and getting my feet wet making shirts woukd be what I would use it for!! Good luck to everyone that enters! Thank you!
I have wanted a Cricut since they first came out! I just found out there are many different types of Cricut machines now! I’m so glad I came across your video! I’m going to watch your other videos to learn all I can before making this purchase! Thank you Jennifer!
I absolutely have been eye balling the cricut joy because sometimes I just don’t want to pull out my whole maker 3 for a t shirt for my 3t/4t wearing toddler. The extra would make that so much easier especially since his twin wears a 4t/5t and I could make both! They also both love when I personalize their things so this would be perfect for those smaller everyday projects. What a nifty new design and revamp on a compact cricut cutting machine. I look forward to more tutorials!
The Cricut Joy Xtra would be a perfect addition to my crafting arsenal. The size would make it perfect for my desk at the office where I could work on craft projects during my breaks!! Making stickers/labels for office files would be amazing! Vinyl labels for our filing cabinets would also be appreciated by my coworkers. Maybe even attractive signage for office doors and cubicles?! We also have so many keys at work that need more pleasing keychains to replace the tired old paper tags. And that's just off the top of my head. So much creativity to unlock!!!
I've been eyeballing a Joy for quite awhile now. I'm so glad I waited, to say the least! I love that the Xtra is bluetooth and still very portable. To start, I would learn card-making and print & cut for stickers on this little baby. And I love, love that there is prismatic glitter iron-on, as I do love the bling! Thank you for your wonderful video and total honesty in your review. You are my go-to for how-to videos!
That’s awfully sweet of you to gift this to someone. I’d use it to take to scrapbook retreats. I love my Explore Air2 but this would be so much easier to transport. Thank you! Good luck everyone
I would love one of these to use for making some of my smaller projects such as stickers for my bathroom wall and decals. Sometimes hooking up the maker 3 just for one small decal and such can be a pain. I really would get alot of use out of this machine
My Joy so wants her Big Sister!! I love that I can cut card bases when I need one. I don't have to have a bunch already pre-cut. The new materials are awesome!!
I love to make things for others. I have made basic stickers for family, friends and co-workers. I cant wait to try the different printable stickers and share my creations. This machine is just the perfect tool for that!!
Thank you for your review. Very helpful! I have started bullet journaling and using planners so this would be great for that and for making for stickers for my kids' extra-curricular activities for them and classmates to use. Thank you again.
I love this new Cricut Xtra and I am looking for a machine to have my grandchildren work with. I know they would love this as much as I do.This new one is just a great new addition to their other machines. They love making things and want to work along side me when I’m creating. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to win one. I would love to see their creations come alive! Nice size that they can be able to take it wherever we go as well!
Perfect. Exactly why I hesitated buying the original Cricket Joy - I thought the print and cut was a missing necessity! Not only will I be using it for cards, 3-d paper projects, but hubby wants me to have one so he can print out stencils for wood engraving! My heart is happy! Thanks for a really easy to understand review for this newbie user!! ❤
I do art (sometimes for personal use and other times for friends or as commissions) such as digital art, emotes etc. I've always wanted to branch into making physical items due to my love of stickers and making small crafts and a cricut would definitely be a life saver. I've been looking into cutting machines but they aren't very available in my country as it's not commonly bought. I recently found out about the cricut joy as I saw it in a local store however when looking over the fact that you need to do a workaround to get a "print and cut" function and the size of the mat was not very big it didn't feel very worth it but after a while your video showed up on my feed and I'm amazed at all the features they packed into this upgraded version. Wishing happy crafting to everyone here in the comments section.
Thanks for the reviews on this new Cricut machine! And also thank you for your generosity of giving it away!! If I had the Joy Xtra, I would bring it to my school....we are constantly using someone's machine to create bulletin boards, stickers, clothes and special projects but it's always a to-do for someone to have to lug their Cricut and cords and materials - this new portable size would be so much more ideal!!!
This is AMAZING! I am newer to the Cricut world and your ebook and tutorials have been LIFE changing. Thanks for all you do and all the education. Everyone makes it seem so easy. However when you’ve never done anything it feels so complex. So Thank you!!
Thank you so much! Your videos are really helpful. I'm new to cricut. Your video convinced me (correctly) that the Joy Xtra is exactly what I need to help me with law school. It helps me prepare for mock trial by allowing me to create powerful visuals that juries and judges can understand in a second, rather than minutes. For business owners outside of crafting products, this may help you as well in creating materials that communicate what you need to the public. I'm really blown away by the possibilities. Thank you again for showing me how to utilize this compact, but multifaceted product.
Thank you so much for this amazing 🤩 honest review. I am a mom of a toddler and we are currently living in Macau 🇲🇴 an special administrative region that belongs to China. I want to create beautiful things for my daughter’s birthday 🥳 or daily life , but here there is NOTHING handmade 😞 as this country is the biggest world factory , I want to bring something unique and some color to our lives. We will use the cricut joy extra to create wonderful projects and share with our 🇨🇳 Chinese friends the true precious value behind handmade gifts ! 😊 sending you love from the other side of the world !
Your instruction videos are the best. I know that I can find out anything I need on how to create using any of the Cricut cutters, and by the way, I have almost all of them. You are so detailed in each instruction, and I so appreciate this because I need visual as well as reading. Sometimes I get overwhelmed when making a new project, and you always get me through it. I love to do wedding invitations, (and yours were beautiful.) It took me several times before I got the Wedding Cover folder made correctly, but if I hadn't had your instructions, I don't think I'd be able to make it now! I also love to do t-shirt transfers cutting with my Cricut maker and fusing with my hand held Cricut press. I am so pressed for space, that I would really love to have the new larger Cricut Joy xtra. So compact but can do up to 81/2 x 11" material. Thank You Jennifer for helping to make it so easy!
I'm so excited!!I am brand new to Cricut world. Been watching all of your videos to try to get an idea of what kind of machine will be a good fit for me. Starting a solo business to get my art into the world and am convinced, with your help, that the Cricut is the way to go. I want to print and cut stickers and vinyl lettering as well as be able to print things out for sublimation cups and shirts. This would be such an amazing machine for me to start with and I'd be so grateful if you picked me:) Also thank you for being honest with the products that you try out. That's the most important thing for me right now in trying to get a machines to get started with. I really don't have anything yet besides my printer, creativity, and my art supplies to paint and draw things. Again, thank you for considering me:)
The Joy Xtra is so portable, I'd take it to my daughter-in-laws house. Once a month or so, my DILs and I get together to do some crafting. We could have so much fun with the Xtra, and by the time we were done, we could have labels and stickers on everything!!
REALLY CANT WAIT TO GET ONE. Have so many ideas going through my crafty mind… stickers for my Granddaughter and Christmas presents for all my family… shirts cup decals, stickers, labels, oh my too many to list💕
Love that it has print and cut and larger sizes. Full sheet 81/2x11. I would use it for t-shirts, cards, and many stickers. I am excited about the smart glitter iron on. The best is that I can take it with me when I visit my granddaughter and she can use it when she comes to see me. I love your reviews - honest and fair!! Thank you!!
I have wanted a Cricut for as long as I can remember to make labels stickers and laminates for my children and their classmates. Your videos are so inspiring.
I have my son and daughter who love stickers to put on their cars and my grandchildren who loves stickers and my students. So I will definitely used the joy to make stickers and to create awesome gifts for my family and friends.
Thank you so much for your review!!! I’ve been watching organization videos on TH-cam all day and one of the girls took out her cricut joy to make labels for her bins. All I could think of was that I NEED THAT CONTRAPTION!!!!! My daughter and I love to label things and this machine would be perfect!! I also want to use it to make decals and stickers. I have been thinking about switching from silhouette to cricut because it’s so hard to find silhouette accessories and cricut seems more readily available. So this would be great to start with. Thanks again!
Jennifer, I just want to start off by saying you have taught me how to set up my new Cricut machine, taught me how to use iron on vinyl for shirts and all your inspiring emails have brighten my day! It would be a dream to have a Cricut joy extra. I have a Cricut maker and let’s just say it has been REALLY HARD to take it out and, set it up, start crafting especially with when the machine is big and my projects are usually small. Even when I get your inspiring emails to make things and not worry about mistakes, the idea of doing all that just tires me out. I was planning on getting a Cricut Joy because it is very compatible but is was very small and had less access to what I wanted to make. But a Cricut Joy Extra would be perfect for me. I could make print the cut stickers for my toddler students and cut without a mat. The idea that I can cut bigger yet still be small and have a beautiful white color. I really hope I win!
Love the crucut joy Xtra! I home school my youngest granddaughter and this would be perfect for making her stickers. Our craft room is upstairs and after my last 2 brain surgeries in March, I'm no longer able to climb stairs. This is the perfect size for my desk in my bedroom. Tfs and the wonderful info you provided. God Bless 🥰💜
I would love this to be able to make full sheets of stickers for gifts as well as custom birthday cards and other quick projects that I could teach my nieces to do. So fun!! Thank you for sharing this video!!!
Hi Jennifer, Watching this tutorial was just as refreshing as watching the others. There is always something new that I will learn. Awesome. I am in love with the Joy Xtra because I'm a Special Education teacher and ABA Specialist in Queens, New York. That means that I work with children with learning disabilities and children who are Autistic. They are the cutest kids to serve. My students depend on Visual Support on a daily basis and I find that they are super motivated with the use of colors. I print, cut and color everyday and this new machine will be a great resource not only to me but to the students. I see myself doing much more with regards to their visual directions, schedules, rewards, stickers, activities and the list goes on. My students will be so excited with this addition to the classroom. I will continue to do my best for my students whether I'm lucky to get this machine or not through this great chance. Please, please continue to do your great work since I do depend on your tutorials regularly.
Hi Jennifer! I’m super excited about the Cricut Joy Xtra! I work at a senior center facility as a activities/crafting coordinator and many of the elderly love scrapbooking, card making and creating lots of other things. I would use the Cricut Joy Xtra in our art room at the facility to teach them how to make cards, stickers and so much more with the machine. I think it would be such an enjoyable and fun experience for them. Thank you so much for all you do! Have a blessed day!😊
I would love the Cricut Joy xtra as it is so portable. Taking it to the grandkids house to make stickers would make such a special time for us and give them a new way to craft a they love it so much. Such a great new option - love it.
This is awesome! I’m a 4th grade teacher & would love to make signs for the classroom. We’re not allowed to put paper on or near doors due to fire codes, but vinyl works. I would also love to make water bottle stickers as prizes for my students. Thanks for sharing this, Jennifer!
What a great addition to the Circuit family! This is exactly what I need to make special projects, including cards and stickers. I love the versatility of being able to use a larger format. Looking forward to making bigger stickers and cards.
I'm an activity director at a nursing home. I would use it to create items for my residents. We also have an activity store where they earn activity dollars so they can shop. I would make many items so they can purchase with activity dollars they earn. They miss being able to shop at stores so I make that happen at home. ❤
I would love the Joy Xtra plue I love watching your video. If I win I would watch your videos to make things. You have so much helpful ideas to show us. I have learned so much from you Thank You.
This is an absolutely perfect size machine and price point! I have been watching your videos and website projects for awhile. I haven't purchased a Cricut, yet. I make small/mid size custom projects on paper/cardstock. I print symbols off the internet, stickers, I alter from the store that I customize myself, pulling from many different sheets that the colors don't match, to make daily living schedules for home and school. This unit will give me the ability to create the schedules needed with a more polished look that we hand carry for independence, and will look a whole lot better than my DIY! lol.
Thank you for the great video! The Cricut Joy Xtra seems super cool. I've been wanting a Cricut for a while, and I think if I got this I would use it to make a lot of print then cut stickers. I just think it is so cool to be able to make stickers at home!!!
Congratulations, Annie! YOU are the winner of my Cricut Joy Xtra cutting machine, the same one you see in this video that Cricut sent me for review. I've already sent you an email about it. I'm looking forward to your reply!!
@@JenniferMaker do u have a tutorial on how to make a shirt from start to finish. I’m a newbie and don’t know what I’m doing?
I have always been a very artsy person yet never thought of getting a Cricut till now. Went to Michael's today and found myself standing there completely clueless. The girl who assisted me told me not to buy anything and to first watch you before I made any decisions. I'm happy I did, this is exactly what I need at least as a beginner. Not only were you extremely helpful but your vibe and sweet energy had me smiling the entire video. Im looking forward to learning more with you. Thank You for sharing. Sincerely your new follower , Anabel 💜🥰🦋
That's so awesome! I'm glad you are here!!🥰
I am a middle school nurse. I would like to make stickers for the many students that are struggling with their sense of well being with words of kindness and affirmations. Being a tween/teen is a big adjustment. I just want them to know that they are valued and heard.
I use my Cricut Joy Xtra to make computer programming challenge completion badge stickers for my students. You should totally do the kindness and affirmation stickers!
I would love to get one of these cricut joy xtra. That way, I can share it with my Mom and daughters. I would enjoy teaching my mom how to do sublimation bags and t-shirts. For here birthday this month I took my cricut maker to her house and we made a tiger bag together with heat vinyl. She loved learning how to make it. And it let's use spend quality time together.
Sounds like a wonderful plan! 😊🌻
Hi Jennifer, I have a question I watched the Video and made a comment and also filled out the form but I only got one entry. Can you help me out?
Firstly, I'd like to say how much I love watching your tutorials and the enjoyment you get by sharing everything with us.
Secondly, I received the cricut Joy, a couple of years ago, as a Christmas gift from my son. I have fallen in love with it. Then, just this past Christmas, I received the Mug Press as a gift from my mum. I've made gifts for friends, etc, and am still learning.
I don't have much space at home, so I have a small designated spot for all my materials and machines. As I've been learning, I became disappointed that I couldn't print then cut or that it doesn't have multiple sized blades. As I am an Early Childcare Educator, I wanted so much to make my own original stickers that can be specific to what we are learning about. Even just to make special design prints for clothing for my family, etc. A friend asked me if I could make her 15 mugs, for this coming Christmas, as gifts for family, each one specific to that person and I loved the challenge. When she asked if I could use an image of her son's car on it. I was so disappointed to tell her I couldn't.
Good luck to the lucky person who gets it. En-Joy making Xtra fun designs.
I'm from Australia and think this is for US citizens, just wanted to say how much I love your tutorials ❤❤
Thanks so much! 😃❤️
I’ve hesitated on purchasing a joy even though I know it would help in my card making. Now I know why- I was waiting for this! The print and cut feature is something I think I’ll use often. I predict this will be a big seller this holiday season!
I’m so excited for this cricut joy xtra! Working in a day surgery unit, we have some pediatric patients but our giveaways are adult geared. I would use it to creat iron ons for our reusable belongings bags and stickers for the water cup to make our giveaways more kid-friendly!
This looks great! The print and cut feature is a game changer for the Joy. I love it! As a teacher, making personalised reward stickers would be great.
So glad they came out with this. It's perfect for RV life.
Yes! Perfectly portable! 😊🌻
I would take it on vacations and make our own personalized souveniers while we are there instead of trying to remember the moments afterwards and find the time when we get back and the moments have passed. It would be so much fun to make photo ski stickers after a day on the hill and and put them on your helment the next day on the slopes! The xtra is small enough to fit in the suitcase and can stay protected with the puffy ski wear.
That's a good idea!
I do love the look of the Joy Xtra, your video is so helpful and with all the new materials it makes it so much easier for a beginner crafter like myself to understand how to use them properly. I volunteer at a Special Needs school, with the Joy xtra being portable it will give me a chance to get students involved in crafting too. I would be using it for personalised stickers, making display boards in school and general paper crafting with the children, thank you.
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊🌻
I travel a lot, so this size would be ideal!!! I would love to make kindness rocks with this machine. I could make so many designs (especially with the new materials) to inspire kindness, hope and joy to people around the country. Sometime people need a little pick-me-up or inspiration…I could definitely do that with the Cricut Joy Xtra!!! Thank you for the chance to win!
Good luck!
The Cricut Joyxtra is a great step up. I would definitely use it to do crafts like arabesque ornaments for a craft fair that I participate in for the upcoming holiday season. Since I have limited space to crafts, it would totally be a game changer for me. Thanks for the video and all your true thoughts on it.
That would be a perfect use! You're so welcome! 😊🌻
Another amazing tutorial❤
I cannot wait, thank you for always taking crafting information to the next level!
I would love to have a JOY! I have fun bringing my cricut stuff to work to teach the seniors how to make fun things and this would be so much easier to bring with me!
I have a 5 year old autistic son who is obsessed with stickers. If I had a Cricut xtra I would make him reward stickers!
I think they made the Cricut Xtra just for you! 😊🌻
That is an absolutely great idea, my nephew is also autistic and he loves stickers also. ❤
Hello Jennifer, I would make an array of things with the Cricut Joy Xtra. Like stickers, birthday and holiday cards.
I bought the cricut Joy and would love this. My craft room is small and space is a high commodity. Would love this!
That's perfect for him. Mom you are the BEST❤ boy I sure could have used this in my classroom 😊😊😊
(retired Sped tchr here)
I love the fact that it is standard paper size🎉 stickers and sublimation are my new obsession! Can’t wait to try it! I work as a vet tech and love making stickers to personalize and decorate all the doggies e-collars when they go home after surgery! This is perfect size to bring to work and not trim paper. I have my original joy there now!
Good luck in the giveaway! 😊🌻
I want to use this to make even more shirts for my Grandkids. I have time to craft on vacation and we take our 5th wheel camper - this would be great to take with me - love your videos and have your playbook and use it a lot.
I was never interested in the Cricut Joy because of it's limited cutting size and no print & cut feature. But, this is a game changer! I would love to take this with me on our trips and vacations so I could craft away. I love making all things, cards, flowers, pop-ups, print & cut stickers. I would definitely make stickers. I put a sticker somewhere on everything I make that says, "handcrafted with love by Nadine Wiley".
What a great idea to add a sticker to your creations! I may start doing that too, thank you for the inspiration.
Hello Ms. Jennifer! I am your new fan since yesterday. Night before, I prayed to God to give me a sign which path he will take me, and then just saw your crafty and knowledgeable videos. So I decided to stay tune and do more research about what printer I need, materials and cutting machine to start up. I am from the Philippines by the way. I woke up early in the morning to watch videos about sublimation printing and cricut since I want to have a business about arts and crafts. I have a limited resources since I just resigned from my 3months contract job because my husband needs me at the hospital and also need to attend to my growing toddler. I think my last pay fits to buy only Cricut Joy and rethink of a materials for installment. But if I will be lucky to be chosen to have that Cricut Joy Xtra I am so blessed and then use my lastpay for other materials I need to start a business. My husband knows that I want to have a start up business like this but he can't help me since he needs to fill in a savings for emergency. I love to have time for God(Sunday), a family time and time for my business. God bless us all. ❤
Bless you
I’d use this new super cute circuit to make cards. There is nothing better than a hand written note or getting something in the mail.
As a stay at home mom of four boys, I’m trying out different crafts and projects to expand my “home business”. I would use it for that. 😊
Oh my the silver sticker paper is AMAZING almost as amazing as you Jennifer
I am a 56 year old Grandma with 5 children and 6 grandchildren. Since Covid I have been teaching myself new skills. What better teachable moment than to use the Cricut Joy Xtra to teach my family that you're never too old to learn.
I will make a lot of gifts for my grandchildren. My granddaughter loves to make crafts. She would love this.
You can make things together!
Hello! I work at my local library and I help teach people how to use the Cricut. We actually have Cricut machines that circulate like books from the library and having the Cricut Joy Xtra would help me answer more questions from the library customers and help me be more informed. Myself and another staff member offer free classes once a month to show how to do a certain craft. For example, we are making cards for September. I would love to use the Xtra for stickers, decals, and cards. It would also be fun to try to customize cups.
I’m a paper planner and I would mostly print stickers!
Wow, I just got the joy yesterday. Still in box, will be sending it back 😊. This new one is a game changer. I have a maker and love what it can do. The joy xtra is small enough to take on a plane when I fly to see my sister. She teaches me new things to make. I bought the joy to make stickers and to let my 7 year old granddaughter make things on a smaller machine. Thanks Jennifer for all your videos and for making projects that are fun to do. 😊😊😊
Dear Jennifer,
First of all, thank you so much for this opportunity to be considered to win this darling, new creation. I have had every CRICUT machine since day one. I currently have the Maker that does it all, so WHY would I need the Joy xxtra? RIGHT.... welll ....after watching you today I know why and I WANT AND NEED IT!
The possibilities are endless but I would first make stickers and labels. The Print and Cut option is great and a game changer for the JoyXTRA and I cant wait for the new sticker papers to come out . Also taking it to crops and traveling on vacation is awesome since who can take their MAKER to a crop!....haha
Thank you again for this opportunity!
Yes, its such a great machine! Thank you for watching!
I have 2 grandsons & plenty of nieces & nephews. I love doing little extra things for all of the throughout the year & especially on special occasions. My hubby has also started his own business so I enjoy doing things to promote it. Much cheaper than paying someone especially seeing as I am unable to work.
We are in desperate need of organization for my 3 adhd kids! I could print labels to put on things and where they go, I could put picture labels for my daughter who doesn't read yet. I homeschool my kids and working on executive functioning skills by teaching organization will go a long way! Thanks for the helpful video!
Great ideas!! Thank you for watching! 😊🌻
This new machine looks amazing! I got married in January of this year and I purchased a Cricut Joy for a lot of DIY decor. Seeing this new machine has my mind racing on all the possibilities for Christmas gifts this year for family. I lived out of state away from family and will not be able to spend holidays with them. This new Cricut Joy Xtra would help me send personalized gifts from the ❤ to all my loved ones!
I became recently disabled and decided to try crafting..watching what that machine does look amazing...I would love to make crafts and stickers and see the awesome things the machine does!!
I have an 8 year old granddaughter. She's been really wanting to get a cricut joy for herself, I just bought a maker and we are learning together watching your videos. Once she saw your video about the Joy Xtra, she really loved it; and would really love to have one.
She would make stickers, labels etc.
Wonderful!
So cute!!! I am obsessed with coffee mugs! The designs I could make and put on ALL of the mugs are endless! 😍
Yes! 😃
I am a paraprofessional in a high needs area in an elementary school. As an artistic person I consistently make things around the school and in the classrooms for the students with my own money. Having the Joy Xtra would be a game changer for me. (Any of the cricut machines would definitely be wonderful to have). To know that your giving this away says a lot about you Miss Jennifer, and the heart ❤️ you have. As an influencer, please continue making wonderful videos that we all learn from and keep giving us your heart and honest vision through cricut. Thank you and stay blessed.
I'm so happy you're here crafting with us. Good luck in the giveaway! 😊🌻
Print then cut for 8 1/2 x 11 on the new Cricut Joy XTRA will be wonderful. Not to mention how convenient it will be for on the go!
Thank you for the wonderful introduction Jennifer.
Good luck in the giveaway! 😊🌻
I would use it at my high school for my bulletin board. I am a mental health counselor and use the board to provide students with positive affirmations and information on mental health. It has helped students open up! Thank you! I love the size. Perfect for school!
That is wonderful! 😊
I would make stickers, cards and printable vinyl designs for t-shirts! I love that the Joy Xtra can print on letter sized materials!! 😮❤🙌
Thanks Jennifer, you always give the xtra details we need. I would use this Cricut Joy Xtra to take with me when I visit friends and family who might be sick or shut in due to health, age or other problems. I think with the diversity of this new machine I could add a little Xtra joy, laughter, fun and the feeling of accomplishment to them. Wow I think the possibilities could be amazing! Imagine encouraging someone by helping them to create their own little craft and watching their eyes glow with excitement and satisfaction. It would be nice to see Senior Centers, Shelters or even Nursing homes add these to their public spaces. They say that laughter is the Best Medicine just imagine what a little Xtra Joy can do for the Soul. So I would make anything I could that brings a smile.
Hi Jenn, I’m a retired senior looking for new ways to create crafts and income. The Cricut machines/products are not in my budget (fixed income) but if selected I would start off with creating stickers. My g-kids love stickers and I am planning to make them journals for Christmas and include some stickers based on their personality.
Sounds fun! 😊🌻
If I had a Cricut Joy Xtra I would make stickers. I have loved them since I was a kid! Love the compact size of the Joy Xtra with more capabilities!
I would love to make the flower shadow boxes…have 3 coworkers that recently had their first baby, so a great gift for the mom…I love the practicality of the joy xtra, looks like a great traveling tool.
You could definitely make adorable baby gifts with the Xtra 😊🌻
As a special education teacher, I would use the Cricut Xtra to create much needed activities for my students. These would include matching activities, reward stickers & small signs for my classroom. And so much more!
Amazing to have a compact machine for cutting, printing and making projects! I travel a lot to visit family and I have brought my regular Cricut many times, but now I am flying most of the time and this machine opens up the opportunity to have a Cricut that "travels"! My granddies always love the sticker making and we enjoy our together time crafting. Thank you for the opportunity to win this though your generosity! Judy Ashmore
Good luck to you!
I love the way you do things. I can easily follow along and understand what I need to do !!!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy you're here crafting with us! 😊🌻
I’m a card maker. The Joy will make cards but not 5x7. I also love the print and cut feature. Again, the ability to print then cut images for ephemera is a game changer!
Good luck in the giveaway! 😊🌻
Everyone loves stickers!! When i was younger i loved crafting and had a childrens toys that cranked out stickers from my own drawings or anything you cut out from newspapers or magazines. That toy sparked my love of making my own stickers. The fact that i can make any sticker my son wants and of things he is currently interested in is the best! I would use it also to print and cut out activities for learning for him. I do have a small space and my cricut air2 gets stored away when not in use and hard to bring in and out and set it up anywhere. I usually set it on the ground. My son could even help me use the xtra and maybe it will spark an interest of crafting for him too.😊
I hope so! 😃
I have watched your video 3 or 4 times already..since I rent a room don't have much room with my wheelchair and furniture...I love the thought of Bing able to make all the items this machine does....I am a creative person and have tons of ideas in my head...I get all excited when you say all that machine can do...thanks for making me smile and get excited about what day making more and more projects..God bless you!!
Thank you Jennifer Maker for your unbiased review, it helps me so much to choose right stuffs and saves me money too.
As I am a pre-school teacher I do a lot of paper crafts. I am super excited for Joy Xtra for the paper size I will be able to use in it. My new craft addition will be print then cut stickers. Also I will continue working on regular vinyl and HTV's.
It will be one of my dream come true if I could be the winner of this Joy-Xtra!
Thank you for all your inspiring videos. God Bless you ALWAYS.
Jennifer, I have just started watching your videos and have found each one so very helpful. I appreciate that you are independent of any manufacturer so your critiques are unencumbered. Thank you for all of your tips. I am telling everyone about you!
I have 10 grandchildren ranging from 13 to 1 year of age and my husband has a business that needs lettering on his store front windows- I could do so much with a Circuit Joy Xtra! And tuning in to your videos would make it all the more fun! Thank you for today's episode!
Oh, so wonderful to hear and I appreciate you being here with me!!! 💗
Men have all kinds of toys, now women can have a new toy to have for their crafting. This is another toy that I can put in my DreamBox 2! I love the print and cut feature. It will make making gifts and ornaments easier to make along with my scrapbooking and making all different cards. Cannot wait to have one!
Yay!
I JUST bought a Joy. I am a new book binder and I plan on using it to make the covers for my books. Hearing you say that you thought the Xtra was the perfect one for beginners and newbies was it for me! I will be returning my joy and waiting for the Xtra.
I would love to win this giveaway but either way, that Xtra in mine! Thank you for the review.
Oh Jennifer….I’m SO EXCITED!! I very recently began using my Cricut Joy….I also have a Silhouette Cameo 2, but was a bit intimidated by it. I purchased the Joy on a super sale at Michael’s, and LOVE IT! It would be awesome to get the Joy Xtra now, so that when crafting with my Grandchildren - I can teach them to use and practice on my original Joy, while I create special sticker sets for their collections!! The print-then-cut feature will be SO AMAZING for this!! I HOPE to finally get a small card-making business going!!! Thank you for bringing such “JOY” to us, while inspiring us with your talents! 😘
This is great and exciting news! I was able to retire last year so I’ve stepped up my paper crafting as small side hustle to help ends meet. My son in law found a Joy at a yard sale and gave it to me as a gift. I like it, but it’s always been too small and was disappointed when it would not cut and scan. Thanks so much for your detailed tutorials! It’s much appreciated! I look forward to watching more tutorials on your channel.
I’m so excited about this new Joy! I would use this to make my own labels for my kitchen stuff, make stickers for our Jeep group (waterproof sticker kit…yes please!!), make the most adorable outfits for our Shiba pups and so much more!!
I think that it’s small size makes it perfect for traveling and on the go use.
Omg, making custom outfits for dogs is one thing I hadn't thought of!! That's such a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion. 🙂
I would use this to make custom t-shirts for my family when we do our annual group cruise.
This new Cricut Joy Xtra looks amazing! I love how small a portable it is yet it can create a lot of awesome projects! The Print and cut feature of this machine is definitely a big plus! At my job i'm constantly crafting. We love creating a themed door for each season and hanging decorations that fit the season along with different hanging signs and banners for parties. I've made birthday signs and holiday banners for the different occasions we celebrate. This machine would make crafting so much faster and would give us the opportunity to create different projects.
Totally! 😃
As an older Australian I think it would be ideal to carry to the desk to use especially when you have arthritic hands like myself , thanks for the chance to win one of these great machines❤
My 2 youngest just started pre-k and kindergarten. So labeling everything they own(more less😂) this would really be a big HELP!! I don’t own any of the Cricuts. Now that I have no kids at home I’ve been looking into buying one(although being on a fixed income and single parent it’s hard to have/save xtra money) to start crafting to keep me busy. It would also come in handy for school projects such as birthdays, holidays, events, and even some homework projects. Thank you for your generosity and giving people a chance to possibly own one!! Many blessings to you and your family! Thank you for your time!
I love that I can make larger iron ons for shirts with the Xtra! And with 13 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, I can be the cools grandma who makes stickers. 😊 Thank you for the chance to win the Xtra. 💕
I was going to.purchase the Joy next month but saw the newest Joy and got so excited!! I would share it with my fellow scrapbook girls "sisters" when we get together several times a year! In fact, in October we have an event planned. The one girl is very good with the original machine and still uses her Gypsy! Using this for cards, scrapbooking, stickers and getting my feet wet making shirts woukd be what I would use it for!! Good luck to everyone that enters! Thank you!
I have wanted a Cricut since they first came out! I just found out there are many different types of Cricut machines now! I’m so glad I came across your video! I’m going to watch your other videos to learn all I can before making this purchase!
Thank you Jennifer!
You're so welcome! 😊🌻
I absolutely have been eye balling the cricut joy because sometimes I just don’t want to pull out my whole maker 3 for a t shirt for my 3t/4t wearing toddler. The extra would make that so much easier especially since his twin wears a 4t/5t and I could make both! They also both love when I personalize their things so this would be perfect for those smaller everyday projects. What a nifty new design and revamp on a compact cricut cutting machine. I look forward to more tutorials!
The Cricut Joy Xtra would be a perfect addition to my crafting arsenal. The size would make it perfect for my desk at the office where I could work on craft projects during my breaks!! Making stickers/labels for office files would be amazing! Vinyl labels for our filing cabinets would also be appreciated by my coworkers. Maybe even attractive signage for office doors and cubicles?! We also have so many keys at work that need more pleasing keychains to replace the tired old paper tags. And that's just off the top of my head. So much creativity to unlock!!!
I've been eyeballing a Joy for quite awhile now. I'm so glad I waited, to say the least! I love that the Xtra is bluetooth and still very portable. To start, I would learn card-making and print & cut for stickers on this little baby. And I love, love that there is prismatic glitter iron-on, as I do love the bling! Thank you for your wonderful video and total honesty in your review. You are my go-to for how-to videos!
Awww, thank you so much for watching! 💗
That’s awfully sweet of you to gift this to someone. I’d use it to take to scrapbook retreats. I love my Explore Air2 but this would be so much easier to transport. Thank you! Good luck everyone
My absolute pleasure, best of luck to you! 💗
I would love one of these to use for making some of my smaller projects such as stickers for my bathroom wall and decals. Sometimes hooking up the maker 3 just for one small decal and such can be a pain. I really would get alot of use out of this machine
Good luck!
My Joy so wants her Big Sister!! I love that I can cut card bases when I need one. I don't have to have a bunch already pre-cut. The new materials are awesome!!
haha, Love it!💗
I love to make things for others. I have made basic stickers for family, friends and co-workers. I cant wait to try the different printable stickers and share my creations. This machine is just the perfect tool for that!!
It really is! 💗
Thank you for your review. Very helpful! I have started bullet journaling and using planners so this would be great for that and for making for stickers for my kids' extra-curricular activities for them and classmates to use. Thank you again.
I love this new Cricut Xtra and I am looking for a machine to have my grandchildren work with. I know they would love this as much as I do.This new one is just a great new addition to their other machines. They love making things and want to work along side me when I’m creating. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity to win one. I would love to see their creations come alive! Nice size that they can be able to take it wherever we go as well!
Perfect. Exactly why I hesitated buying the original Cricket Joy - I thought the print and cut was a missing necessity! Not only will I be using it for cards, 3-d paper projects, but hubby wants me to have one so he can print out stencils for wood engraving! My heart is happy! Thanks for a really easy to understand review for this newbie user!! ❤
Glad I could help!
I do art (sometimes for personal use and other times for friends or as commissions) such as digital art, emotes etc. I've always wanted to branch into making physical items due to my love of stickers and making small crafts and a cricut would definitely be a life saver. I've been looking into cutting machines but they aren't very available in my country as it's not commonly bought. I recently found out about the cricut joy as I saw it in a local store however when looking over the fact that you need to do a workaround to get a "print and cut" function and the size of the mat was not very big it didn't feel very worth it but after a while your video showed up on my feed and I'm amazed at all the features they packed into this upgraded version. Wishing happy crafting to everyone here in the comments section.
Happy crafting!
Thanks for the reviews on this new Cricut machine! And also thank you for your generosity of giving it away!! If I had the Joy Xtra, I would bring it to my school....we are constantly using someone's machine to create bulletin boards, stickers, clothes and special projects but it's always a to-do for someone to have to lug their Cricut and cords and materials - this new portable size would be so much more ideal!!!
I totally agree, the size is perfect! Thank you so much for watching! 😊🌻
This is AMAZING! I am newer to the Cricut world and your ebook and tutorials have been LIFE changing. Thanks for all you do and all the education. Everyone makes it seem so easy. However when you’ve never done anything it feels so complex. So Thank you!!
I'm so glad!💗
Thank you so much! Your videos are really helpful. I'm new to cricut. Your video convinced me (correctly) that the Joy Xtra is exactly what I need to help me with law school. It helps me prepare for mock trial by allowing me to create powerful visuals that juries and judges can understand in a second, rather than minutes. For business owners outside of crafting products, this may help you as well in creating materials that communicate what you need to the public. I'm really blown away by the possibilities. Thank you again for showing me how to utilize this compact, but multifaceted product.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much for this amazing 🤩 honest review. I am a mom of a toddler and we are currently living in Macau 🇲🇴 an special administrative region that belongs to China. I want to create beautiful things for my daughter’s birthday 🥳 or daily life , but here there is NOTHING handmade 😞 as this country is the biggest world factory , I want to bring something unique and some color to our lives. We will use the cricut joy extra to create wonderful projects and share with our 🇨🇳 Chinese friends the true precious value behind handmade gifts ! 😊 sending you love from the other side of the world !
Your instruction videos are the best. I know that I can find out anything I need on how to create using any of the Cricut cutters, and by the way, I have almost all of them. You are so detailed in each instruction, and I so appreciate this because I need visual as well as reading. Sometimes I get overwhelmed when making a new project, and you always get me through it. I love to do wedding invitations, (and yours were beautiful.) It took me several times before I got the Wedding Cover folder made correctly, but if I hadn't had your instructions, I don't think I'd be able to make it now! I also love to do t-shirt transfers cutting with my Cricut maker and fusing with my hand held Cricut press. I am so pressed for space, that I would really love to have the new larger Cricut Joy xtra. So compact but can do up to 81/2 x 11" material. Thank You Jennifer for helping to make it so easy!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊🌻
I'm so excited!!I am brand new to Cricut world. Been watching all of your videos to try to get an idea of what kind of machine will be a good fit for me. Starting a solo business to get my art into the world and am convinced, with your help, that the Cricut is the way to go. I want to print and cut stickers and vinyl lettering as well as be able to print things out for sublimation cups and shirts. This would be such an amazing machine for me to start with and I'd be so grateful if you picked me:) Also thank you for being honest with the products that you try out. That's the most important thing for me right now in trying to get a machines to get started with. I really don't have anything yet besides my printer, creativity, and my art supplies to paint and draw things. Again, thank you for considering me:)
The Joy Xtra is so portable, I'd take it to my daughter-in-laws house. Once a month or so, my DILs and I get together to do some crafting. We could have so much fun with the Xtra, and by the time we were done, we could have labels and stickers on everything!!
REALLY CANT WAIT TO GET ONE. Have so many ideas going through my crafty mind… stickers for my Granddaughter and Christmas presents for all my family… shirts cup decals, stickers, labels, oh my too many to list💕
All great ideas! 😊🌻
Love that it has print and cut and larger sizes. Full sheet 81/2x11.
I would use it for t-shirts, cards, and many stickers. I am excited about the smart glitter iron on.
The best is that I can take it with me when I visit my granddaughter and she can use it when she comes to see me.
I love your reviews - honest and fair!! Thank you!!
I have wanted a Cricut for as long as I can remember to make labels stickers and laminates for my children and their classmates. Your videos are so inspiring.
I have my son and daughter who love stickers to put on their cars and my grandchildren who loves stickers and my students. So I will definitely used the joy to make stickers and to create awesome gifts for my family and friends.
Thank you so much for your review!!! I’ve been watching organization videos on TH-cam all day and one of the girls took out her cricut joy to make labels for her bins. All I could think of was that I NEED THAT CONTRAPTION!!!!! My daughter and I love to label things and this machine would be perfect!! I also want to use it to make decals and stickers. I have been thinking about switching from silhouette to cricut because it’s so hard to find silhouette accessories and cricut seems more readily available. So this would be great to start with. Thanks again!
It's my pleasure! 😊🌻
Jennifer, I just want to start off by saying you have taught me how to set up my new Cricut machine, taught me how to use iron on vinyl for shirts and all your inspiring emails have brighten my day!
It would be a dream to have a Cricut joy extra. I have a Cricut maker and let’s just say it has been REALLY HARD to take it out and, set it up, start crafting especially with when the machine is big and my projects are usually small. Even when I get your inspiring emails to make things and not worry about mistakes, the idea of doing all that just tires me out. I was planning on getting a Cricut Joy because it is very compatible but is was very small and had less access to what I wanted to make. But a Cricut Joy Extra would be perfect for me. I could make print the cut stickers for my toddler students and cut without a mat. The idea that I can cut bigger yet still be small and have a beautiful white color. I really hope I win!
Good luck!
Love the crucut joy Xtra! I home school my youngest granddaughter and this would be perfect for making her stickers. Our craft room is upstairs and after my last 2 brain surgeries in March, I'm no longer able to climb stairs. This is the perfect size for my desk in my bedroom. Tfs and the wonderful info you provided. God Bless 🥰💜
😊❤️❤️
I would love this to be able to make full sheets of stickers for gifts as well as custom birthday cards and other quick projects that I could teach my nieces to do. So fun!! Thank you for sharing this video!!!
Good luck in the giveaway! 😊🌻
Hi Jennifer,
Watching this tutorial was just as refreshing as watching the others. There is always something new that I will learn. Awesome. I am in love with the Joy Xtra because I'm a Special Education teacher and ABA Specialist in Queens, New York. That means that I work with children with learning disabilities and children who are Autistic. They are the cutest kids to serve. My students depend on Visual Support on a daily basis and I find that they are super motivated with the use of colors. I print, cut and color everyday and this new machine will be a great resource not only to me but to the students. I see myself doing much more with regards to their visual directions, schedules, rewards, stickers, activities and the list goes on. My students will be so excited with this addition to the classroom. I will continue to do my best for my students whether I'm lucky to get this machine or not through this great chance. Please, please continue to do your great work since I do depend on your tutorials regularly.
I would make labels and stickers for my kids. Spreading happiness helps everyone enjoy the day !
Hi Jennifer! I’m super excited about the Cricut Joy Xtra! I work at a senior center facility as a activities/crafting coordinator and many of the elderly love scrapbooking, card making and creating lots of other things. I would use the Cricut Joy Xtra in our art room at the facility to teach them how to make cards, stickers and so much more with the machine. I think it would be such an enjoyable and fun experience for them. Thank you so much for all you do! Have a blessed day!😊
Oh, I bet they just love you and they would certainly love the Joy Xtra 💗
It's so versatile!! Will be a great addition and help enable me to create stickers, magnets and cards for my crochet business!!
Thank you so much for watching! 😊🌻 Good luck with the giveaway!
I would love the Cricut Joy xtra as it is so portable. Taking it to the grandkids house to make stickers would make such a special time for us and give them a new way to craft a they love it so much. Such a great new option - love it.
I’m so excited for this new product! I would use the Cricut Xtra to make stickers and t-shirts for my students and coworkers!
This is awesome! I’m a 4th grade teacher & would love to make signs for the classroom. We’re not allowed to put paper on or near doors due to fire codes, but vinyl works. I would also love to make water bottle stickers as prizes for my students. Thanks for sharing this, Jennifer!
Good luck in the giveaway! 😊🌻
What a great addition to the Circuit family! This is exactly what I need to make special projects, including cards and stickers. I love the versatility of being able to use a larger format. Looking forward to making bigger stickers and cards.
Yay! 😃
I'm an activity director at a nursing home. I would use it to create items for my residents. We also have an activity store where they earn activity dollars so they can shop. I would make many items so they can purchase with activity dollars they earn. They miss being able to shop at stores so I make that happen at home. ❤
I would love the Joy Xtra plue I love watching your video. If I win I would watch your videos to make things. You have so much helpful ideas to show us. I have learned so much from you Thank You.
This is an absolutely perfect size machine and price point! I have been watching your videos and website projects for awhile. I haven't purchased a Cricut, yet. I make small/mid size custom projects on paper/cardstock. I print symbols off the internet, stickers, I alter from the store that I customize myself, pulling from many different sheets that the colors don't match, to make daily living schedules for home and school. This unit will give me the ability to create the schedules needed with a more polished look that we hand carry for independence, and will look a whole lot better than my DIY! lol.
Thank you so much for watching! Good luck with the giveaway! 😊🌻
