If you haven't experimented with Cricut pens already I HIGHLY suggest it! Not only is it extremely satisfying to watch our Cricut draw our perfect shapes and typography, but incorporating pens, especially glitter gel pen embellishments, is the perfect way to elevate any project.
If you're looking to customize cards, create unique to/from gift tags, or draw out a perfect line drawing for a project, using these Cricut pens is a fantastic way to add value to your work and make it look that much more detailed and expensive (even though it wouldn't be because these are on a killer sale right now!)
If you're in the market for some of the miscellaneous Cricut accessories, or your in the business of bulk-buys, these are
some awesome scores. I personally haven't experimented with rotary cutters yet but if you're wanting to try it out there's a great rotary cutter kit on a great sale AND the Cricut self-healing mat is also on sale at 50% off. If you've ever wanted to try out some of the Cricut "extras" and accessories, right now would be the time to buy so you can test out some new products without breaking bank!
Finally, for any of you crafters out there with an Etsy shop or a small craft business too, if you're in the market of buying and selling, some of these discounts, especially the discounted bulk-buys might be an investment to consider as well. This 100 pack of standard grip mats is currently over $100 off!
If you don't already have a case for your machine, I'd definitely suggest one. A lot of people struggle keeping their machines clean, and their craft rooms organized so if you have a case, that's a great way to protect your machine from dust, scratches, nicks, and accidental breaks. And, it's also great to have if you don't use your machine daily or you don't have a lot of space in your craft room (maybe you don't have a craft room at all) and you want the freedom to be able to pack it up when it'd not in use, and know it's well protected.
Or, if you're a pet owner like me- I for one, can't seem to trust my cat around anything expensive, he seems to always find a way to get cat hair absolutely everywhere, he loves playing with cords, and he's not a very graceful animal. I've had animals knock over expensive equipment before and break it, and even though I'm not interested in unplugging and packing up my machine every day since I use it quite often, it'd be great to be able to set it in a case with the lid mostly closed on my desk when I'm not using it, to protect it from crazy pets, and their endless supply or hair and dander. It'd be nice to be able to pack up my Cricut if I'm going out of town for a while, or if I'm going to be transporting it if I bring it to a friends house for a crafting weekend or when I move again, knowing my very expensive machine is very well protected.
Almost all Cricut cases are currently half off right now, here are a few below, or you can check out the rest
here.
If you're a fan or iron-on and haven't ever used premade iron-on designs, TRY IT! There are so many adorable designs that Cricut has right now for half off or more that are just a few bucks to buy! Though it's true you CAN make your own iron-on designs like the ones you see below, you would need a machine that can do print and cut designs, a printer, printable transfer paper, an EasyPress, heat press, or iron, and ironing board, and/or htv/iron-on vinyl in every color you wanted to incorporate into your design... it can be a lot. Layer designs can take a ton of time, and print and cut designs can be very finicky that if you're looking for a low-cost, low-effort way to doll up some of your favorite blanks (check out my favorites
here) then these are a fabulous solution! Some of my favorites are below but you can check out more
here.
For the majority of Cricut-users, vinyl and paper are the staple materials to have on hand and what better way to buy then when at least 50% off? I've got to say too, I'm used to catching awesome deals on vinyl on Amazon, but it's rarely, almost never 50% off or more and Cricut right now has so so many different samplers, packs, and bulk-buys of vinyl you can buy now for at least half off. Some of my favorites are the sparkly/holographic vinyls and best of all DISNEY!

Finally, we have your miscellaneouses! Although not technically a real word, it did seem the most fitting for what's below- all the other awesome materials Cricut machines can cut and make stuff with, that's NOT vinyl or paper. Although there weren't a ton of deals on infusible ink and some of the more expensive materials, they had a decent selection of a little bit of everything. From foils and wood veneer, to leather and some infusible ink, check out what other materials are on sale below and see if anything catches your eye that you haven't worked with before. After all, there's no better time to experiment with new materials than when they're 50% off or more!
