Cricut Buying Guide
- Cricut Joy: The Joy is perfect for small spaces and small crafting. If you want to make cards, labels, and decals (up to 4.5 in. wide), this machine is for you.
- Cricut Joy Xtra: Like the Cricut Joy, the Xtra offers a compact user experience. However, it can cut larger materials (up to 8.5 in. x 4 ft. with smart materials). The Xtra can use the popular “Print Then Cut” feature for projects like stickers.
- Cricut Explore 3: The Explore 3 is a versatile machine that can cut plenty of materials (over 100) and make sizeable projects like t-shirts or signs. It’s a great “middle of the road” option for most crafters.
- Cricut Maker 3: The Maker 3 is perfect for avid crafters and hobbyists. It cuts over 300 materials and includes features like debossing, engraving, and perforating (with blades sold separately).
- Cricut Venture: As the largest Cricut machine on the market, the Venture is intended for small business or large-format use, offering “commercial cutting and writing speeds.”

Hi. I have been searching everywhere to the simple answer to this question! Can you cut Shrinky Dink material on the Cricut Joy? My about to turn 13 year old granddaughter has started making jewelry with Shrinky Dink material (she lives in Hawaii). For her birthday on New Year’s Eve, I thought about getting her a Cricut Joy, but ONLY if she would be able to cut Shrinky Dink material with it.
If anyone knows the answer I would really appreciate knowing as soon as possible!

Hi Jana. This is a great question! Unfortunately, the Cricut Joy cannot cut through shrink plastic sheets used for Shrinky Dinks because you need a deep point blade for that. The deep point blade works with Cricut Explore and Cricut Maker machines, but not Joy machines. It is sold separately to cut through thicker materials for those machines. I hope this helps!
