If you haven’t gotten a Mother’s Day gift yet, don’t panic just yet. All hope is not lost when you have Amazon Prime two-day shipping.
And honestly? Sometimes, it really does pay to procrastinate a little bit.
Because not only will you still get your gifts on time if you order from Amazon with a Prime membership, you might just save some money too, thanks to Amazon’s great deals.
Are you shopping for a crafty mom? Well, we have just the gift, and we’re sure she’ll love it.
The Cricut Joy, described on the box as “Your DIY Best Friend,” is the smallest smart cutting machine from Cricut, and it makes the perfect first Cricut for anyone unsure if the device is for them.
It’s pint-sized compared to the rest of Cricut’s lineup but has a lot of the same basic functions. Rather than the 13-inch x 13-inch cutting mat that the Cricut Explore 3 and Cricut Maker 3 employ, Joy’s cutting mats are either 4.5-inch x 6.5-inch or 4.5-inch x 12-inch, so essentially, you’re locked into the 4.5-inch width. That isn’t necessarily limiting, though.
The Cricut Joy can cut vinyl for stickers and decals, iron-on vinyl for T-shirts, matless Smart Vinyl and Smart Iron-On, adhesive paper labels, but the real star of the show is greeting cards.
Cut cardstock elements to put together birthday cards, thank you cards, and even just-because cards, or use Cricut’s specialized card mat with its cutaway cards for an even quicker, easier cut.
All of this is done through Bluetooth and Cricut’s intuitive Design Space app, where you’ll do all of your designing before the machine works its magic.
Right now, at just $99, the Cricut Joy matches its lowest price ever on Amazon, and you’ll likely still get it in time for Mother’s Day.
Cricut Joy Machine & Digital Content Library Bundle
In addition to the machine, a cutting mat, the standard blade, and one Cricut-compatible pen, this bundle includes 30 images you’ll be able to access without a subscription to the Cricut Design Space app.
