The Cricut Imagine – Machine Cuts, Writes AND Draws

READ ABOUT THE CRICUT IMAGINE HERE!

Oh yeah baby!! And for my next trick…I’ll grow a money tree in my back yard! 😛 I am really excited about this new machine. It’s the reason I haven’t plunked down money for any other kind of machine. I need to try this one…you hear that DH? I NEED THIS MACHINE!! Truthfully, he already knows the wallet pain is coming. Someone told me about this machine and I’ve been hording nickels since then. (Except for that little shopping excursion on HSN…but that’s different those were little purchases…we hardly even need to count those.)

Let me now do my weird little Cricut dance…be glad this isn’t television.

P.S.  I haven’t seen it in person yet, but I’m guessing that anyone who wants the abilities of this machine can also achieve them using the Cri-Kit gel pens and/or the Cricut markers.  So, don’t panic.  It’s cool, but that ability to draw and cut with your Cricut already exists.

    Seems to be interesting. I wonder if HSN will be the first place to get it since they were the first place to get the Gyspy. It say's on thier site(Cricut) that it is coming in Sept but to buy it,that will have to wait intill next year for me (maybe a b-day gift to myself). In Sept, I have plans to buy the Gypsy since Aug will be my last payment for my laptop.

    Oh no, my husband is going to have heart failure. I will have to learn more about this machine, but the likely hood is that I will want it!:) Sara sent your link as one of the ladies on the blog hop. Nice to meet you and looking forward to the hop.

    Oh Yeah, I am on line for this bad boy. I have been wrestling with print and cuts since my blue wishblade. I just hope we can import our own graphics. And I keep saying I have my money ready because I have been saving for the long awaited ecraft cutter for a year now and for sure ProvoCraft is getting that money. I am so hoping there will be a video demo from CHA next week. I have my fingers crossed that this will be an October birthday present. Can you tell I am psyched? Have a great night! Lysa

    OK I am going to fall out. My husband will stroke. I already want it. I have been dreaming of something like this. Wow very cool. Now the issue will be, when will I be able to afford this?

    I was really excited about the ecraft when I first saw it b/c they had a wide format one, I wonder if the Imagine will be a wider format? Also the other thing I liked about the ecraft was not needing a mat, wonder if the Imagine will be like that? My point is I'm guessing this is PC's answer to the ecraft. I would rather go with a cricut cartridge based machine since I've invested so much money in carts already, but if this is JUST a machine that can print and cut and does everything like the expression already does, I won't be buying ( and my DH will be grateful!). Have you heard anything about being able to draw on a tablet and the Imagine will cut it? (I read this somewhere)

      Finecrafter, I haven't heard anything about the Imagine being able to cut using drawings from a tablet, but that would be GREAT! I'm excited to hear more about it. :) ~Joy~
