What can I make with my Cricut Expression?

By Michael Gray

What materials can a Cricut Expression® machine cut? The Cricut Expression can cut a wide range of materials including cardstock, vinyl, vellum, fabric, chipboard, and even thin foils.

How do I get free Cricut projects?

The best way to get the free files for these Cricut projects is to go right to each project. But you can also just go to my free resource library and download the projects you’d like. I keep all of my projects in my free library for you to use.

Can you make your own designs with Cricut Expression?

Yes, you can upload your own images to use with your Cricut! If you’ve used any older versions of cutting machine software, then you may be intimidated by uploading your own images into Cricut Design Space. With my older Cricut Expression machine, this was not even a possibility.

Is the Cricut Expression still good?

While the Cricut Expression 2 doesn’t compare as favorably with the newer Cricut machines, it’s still undoubtedly a good craft cutter and was very ahead of its time when it was first released. It cuts well and is easy to use — the two most important components of a good cutting machine.
