Cricut Explore Air 2 Giveaway and Major Online Sale!

If you’re wondering, “should I get a Cricut Explore Air 2 or another Cricut machine,” this post will help! I’m sharing all about the Cricut Explore Air 2 machine, outlining a few amazing sales going on right now, and sharing a giveaway for a FREE Cricut Explore Air 2!

Should I get a Cricut Explore Air 2?

Hey gang! Today I’m partnering with Cricut to promote a fab sale they are having on their Explore Air 2 series, as well as sharing how you can win one for free! This is a great giveaway that doesn’t come along too often. The Explore Air 2 is a fantastic machine that would make a great gift or could jump start you into Cricut crafting if you’re new to it!

I often hear people say that they are worried about investing in a machine and not using it too much. Or getting a Cricut machine and being intimidated by it, not knowing how to really get the full worth out of the machine and its capabilities. Don’t be! It’s a great machine that’s easy to learn. Let’s chat a bit about it.

Details About the Machine

The Cricut Explore Air 2 machine is the first Cricut machine I got. It’s perfect if you primarily want to cut vinyl, iron-on, and paper, which covers the vast majority of hobby crafters. However, the Explore Air 2 cuts much more than just vinyl, iron-on, and paper—it cuts over 100 materials…here are a few of them!

list of the materials you can cut with your Cricut

The Cricut Explore Air 2 cuts (and writes, using the Cricut pens!) up to two times faster than previous Cricut Explore machines. You can quickly and efficiently make beautiful custom cards, t-shirts, home decor items, baby bodysuits, party decor, and much more.

Cricut uses the free Design Space software to help you design things on your computer, tablet, or mobile device. Now a designer? You can use thousands of images, fonts, and readymade projects for a small fee. You can also upload your own fonts, images, and files to Design Space! (Check out my free .svg cut file gallery!)
