I watched the shopping channel today (I'm not sure which one) and I think the program was called scrapbooking made easy...maybe. I am looking for the title of what they were using. It was a electric die cutter thing. It was called ---cut. I can't think of it for the life of me. Can anyone help?

Are you talking about the Cricut? It is great. I have had one for about 3 years. It has an amazing amount of versitility.

I believe you are talking about the cricut. They sell them at Walmart and Michaels, as well as the cartridges to go with it. I love mine and hope to use it more as my kids get older.

The Cuttlebug is like the Cricut...but you have to crank the wheel. It is cheaper too. There are some other die that you can use with it that aren't Cricut or Cuttlebug, however, I can't remember the name. Stampers, Ink is on Shawnee Mission Blvd and they have some dies there to use with it.

Hi, K.! Could it have been the Cricut? I know the shopping channels sometimes have this product, plus there are a lot of infomercials for it as well. You load a cartridge, put your paper on a tacky sheet, and it cuts for you - can even use scraps of paper, etc. I want one too, but can't afford it right now! Hope this helps - let me know if you get it and like it or not! K. :)

Hi K.,
The cheapest place I have found the main Cricut unit is at the Walmart in Arnold, Mo. (and the supplies are the same cost at any Walmart).
Example: at Michael's a cartridge is 89.98, at Walmart the same cartridge 59.98. That's a huge saving! My friend and I went in on the main unit together to save even more. It really is worth the money! Have a good day, S.

It's called a cricut and I checked on the deal on tv and it is cheaper to buy it at someplace like Walmart. I have one and LOVE it! THe cartridges aren't cheap but there are many options with just one cartridge. Great for scrapbooking, cardmaking and school projects!

I love my cricut. There are several websites that offer the cartridges & machines (there are 3 different machines) for much less than local stores. www.diecutcentral.com www.cricutmachine.com and www.customcrops.com

I have several friends who have cricuts and we share cartridges to help save money! You don't have to buy special paper, but you do buy mats and blades--just like buying ink for a printer!

it's called a cricut (sounds like cricket when they say it fast) You can get them at scrapbooking stores and our local Walmart carries them as well. They cost just under $100 at Walmart. Hope that helps.

answers from Kansas City on

There are three different cricut machines. www.cricut.com will explain the difference in all of them. I found Walmart to be the cheapest when purchasing the machine. Michael's frequently has weekly specials where the cartridges are $39.99 or 49.99 which is about 50% off. Walmart has them for $59.99 everyday but the selection isn't as good. The cricut design studio is software for your computer that works with your cricut machine and allows you to be so much more creative. My only two suggestions are 1) research the difference in the machines to see which one you want before you invest the $200-300 in one and 2) keep a list handy of cartridges you have and ones you want. I was at Walmart and found one that had been returned but was marked for $20. Knowing that I didn't have that one already I snagged it up!

Its called "Cricut". Its a very cool item for scrapbooking. I have one but want to caution you that it is quite expensive and time consuming to use. Dont get me wrong its great but the cartridges can run anywhere from $49.99-$89.00.

It is called a cricut (pronounced like the bug cricket). I would highly recommend it. Much better than the sizzix machine. Watch Michael's adds, they will run specials on the cartridges.

Hi K., I didn't see that show, but my girlfriend has machine that I am really wanting to get. I beleive it's called "Cricket"?? You punch in everything you want and put your paper into it and it will cut out what ever you want it to! Not sure how much it was or anything, but that's the only one that i know of.

It's called a Cricut. You can go to Cricut.com to see it in action and I believe order it online. No sure about the ordering part. I do know Wal-Mart sells them as well as Michael's Craft stores.

answers from Kansas City on

Was it Cricut? You put in a program and them pick the item you want printed and the machine cuts it out for you. I have one and I love it. The adhesive mat keeps your paper from moving while cutting so you get a nice, clean edge on your item.

Obviously by now you know it's a Cricut.

It's called a Cricut - you can get them in one of two sizes - one cuts 12" x 6" paper and the newer model will cut paper that is 12" x 12". I don't know what they charged for it on the shopping channel, but you can buy one at Michael's or at costco.com - I don't think you have to be a member to use costco.com but will pay a small non-member fee.

It is called a "cricut" pronounced like the insect cricket. It is made by provocraft and can be found at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Walmart. Here is their website for the TV special offer: http://www.4cricut.com/?cid=453591
The other website is: http://www.cricut.com/
I have one of the older ones (not the 12X12) and I love it. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. L.
