It uses a fine-point precision blade, much like the Explore Air 2 and the Maker , to cut tons of intricate shapes. It can cut vinyl, iron-on, card stock, label paper, construction paper cardboard, Infusible Ink transfer sheets , papers, and more see the full list of materials the Cricut Joy can cut here.
Like the Explore Air 2 and Maker, the Joy can write for you. Everything is scaled down for the little Joy. But the writing feature is really great on the Joy , especially since you can use ready-made label paper! I actually used the label paper to make some return address labels—I just had the Joy write out my name and address and then cut the labels out.
Another great feature the Cricut Joy brings is mat-less cutting! Yes, you heard me right! I have cut things both ways on the Joy, and both are easy.
I also want to highlight another great feature the Joy has. While it cuts a much smaller maximum width—5. It can do a single image up to 4 feet long. I really love this. You just need to use one of the Smart Materials for this—I used white smart vinyl.
I simply typed all of the letters out on my canvas and then sent it to my Joy. I went about my business as it cut, checking on it every few minutes. Not having to use a mat or switch out the vinyl to make more cuts was super handy. One of the coolest things about the Cricut Joy is that it comes with a mat specifically designed for making greeting cards. The card cutting works by cutting a design into a card stock sleeve. Then you insert a different-colored card on the inside of the sleeve, making the design pop.
When quarantine first started, Ramona and I made a bunch of cards for her to draw in and send to friends. Speaking of Design Space, even though the Joy has some different capabilities and is much smaller, you still use Design Space. The Joy is tiny and works really well with your mobile device, though it works with computers, too. It comes with 50 ready-to-make projects just like the other machines. And a free trial of Cricut Access! If so, there are a few Cricut tools I definitely recommend adding to your crafting lineup!
You could also bundle a few of these as a special gift for a crafter in your life. I hope these things help you decide which machine to buy to best fit your needs!

I'd love to have you, and I promise I don't send too many emails ;. Are you wanting to be a serious crafter and start a business or are you a hobbyist? So ask yourself, what am I going to use my new Cricut Machine to make? This guide and the answer to that question will help you come to a final decision.
Whether it is your first machine or your third. The Cricut Joy, Explore 3, and Maker 3 are smart and fast. They are designed to be the top of the line and a machine that can crank out a lot of designs quickly. Not only that but the fine point blade precision of this machine is unlike anything else on the market right now as well.
The Cricut Joy is the best thing in my opinion for smaller projects. The Cricut Maker 3 and Cricut Explore Air 3 both cut about 10x faster than the generation before them. Both of the machines are much faster than any of the other Cricut options.
The Maker has a rotary cutting blade that allows you to cut through the fabric which is a total game-changer, in my opinion. The Maker also has a knife blade that can cut through wood and leather surfaces as well! One of the other biggest differences between the Maker vs.
There is a shelf for you to have your electronics on hand and also the option to plug in your phone so that you can keep charging it and using it at the same time. These are actually the two newest machines that Cricut has introduced. While there are several similarities. There are a few key differences as well.
For crafters who are casual users looking to increase their speed and time spent on their Cricut machine, the new Explore 3 is a phenomenal choice.
