[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Yami, you sold me on this Cricut machine. Once funds get better here, I'm buying this one. Right now, funds are extremely extremely tight. We just found out last week that my hubby needs total shoulder replacement surgery, and our central air condition unit is still broken. When it rains, it pours here. 😕

[@annacooremans485]

I will keep you in my prayers!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@annacooremans485 thank you, Anna. We appreciate all the prayers.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Praying for your hubby! We have had our share of "rain" here too so I totally get it.

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

@TheLatinaNextDoor thank you, Yami. We appreciate all the prayers. Sorry, y'all have had y'alls share of "rain" too.

Sorry to read about your difficulties… I hope things get better for u and the family. ❤❤

[@vivianbunch1963]

I really love this new machine! Thanks for explaining and demonstrating it so well! The simplicity of use is it’s best feature👍

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Glad it was helpful! I agree with the simplicity aspect of it.

[@Lisa-js9ss]

I love my joy and my maker 3 and now owed this one! I love having the smaller joy for smaller projects!

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Agreed! The smaller one really does make it easy to make those quick and smaller projects for sure!

[@patriciakirkpatrick7933]

I got a cricut joy 5 months ago! I'm not tech savvy and still don't understand how to use it! I would love to make ornaments for gifts. The one you have looks nice. 🤷‍♀️

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Perhaps this video can help! I made some pretty ornaments among some other DIYs. It's with my Maker, but the Design Space portion and application are the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXqpdZqlZZuMfs0

[@mallorypower41]

I agree with you. I sold my cricut joy…it was not bringing me joy! 😂I felt it was difficult to use so you’re not alone. I’ve used several of the other cricut machines with no issues. I just ordered this xtra because I like that it uses design space instead of the cricut joy app. 🤞🏼Here’s hoping it’s a success!

[@patriciakirkpatrick7933]

@@mallorypower41 good luck!

[@Desertbearsangel]

I’ve been on the fence about buying a cricut but I think you just gave me the shove I needed and this one won’t take up so much room. Thank you Yami for the review, I truly enjoy your videos.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

I am glad this was helpful. I definitely like that this one has more capability yet still being rather small and affordable!

[@tracewalker8772]

Wow that’s a pretty cool machine, I love the size of it! Great review Yami, I’ve been eyeing the Joy so I’m glad I saw this first!💕💕💕💕💕

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

I am actually glad you waited! This one definitely has more capabilities than the Joy.

[@KayXoXo4]

I knew that Cricut came out with the HUGE new cricut machine but this little thing is amazing..I have a explore 2 but sometimes I wish I had a smaller one to get out for my crafts. I think I'll be getting the Xtra. Thanks Yami for the review ❤

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Yeah I saw that machine also! It is huge! LOL! I think I will stick with this one for now. 😉

[@annacooremans485]

Thank you Yami for sharing ❤️ I enjoyed your demonstration and review!

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

You are so welcome! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch! I don't usually do these types of videos but I was really curious to see for myself how well this machine did. I was pleasantly surprised!

[@joycemariepopp1311]

I bought the Cricut Joy thinking I could make sentiment strips for my greeting cards. After my purchase I learned it could not print and cut. I'm definitely excited about this new machine.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Glad you are excited about this!

[@justakidd..]

Just ordered! Thank you. You made it so simple. I have a maker but want something small and not have to deal with the mat all the time. 😊

Hi Yami can you please show us how you did the leaves on the white pumkin you see my husband brought me the cricut for xmas this year will 2 years i have it and still havent used it i think know i know i will use the joy

Love it! Thank you for sharing. My grandson would love this machine and can help grandma with stickers he likes to make and give them out to his friends and family…I have the joy and sometimes I’m work on it and he stands there looking and asking questions. I have shown him something and he is amazed on how fast I can whip up a sticker project…❤️

[@artsylady3187]

do you have to CALIBRATE the JOY machine....because my Xtra machine would not calibrate.....

[@emmaperez8679]

@@artsylady3187 I had to call Cricut because I had same problem the machine was defective and I did a zoom call with them to show them and they sent me a new machine and it works great. They will send you a replacement and a return label you can print and mail the defective one back to them.. love the joy xtra … good luck..

Awesome,thank you for the opinion and the tutorial.Definately looks like it's worth it for a crafter.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Oh yes, I don't see why not, you may just need to use the mat. I was really impressed with the waterproof paper. My kids' bottles still have them on and they still look as good as new! I don't put them in the dishwasher though.

[@glinda8154]

What is the price of the cricket joy extra? I sure would love to have one.

[@michellefarrell4493]

I have one of the first Cricut machines but I would like to update to a new one. I see everything that these new machines can do and I wish I could get one. However, they are a little bit over my budget. Is there any other way that I can purchase one without breaking the bank. How much did the Cricut Joy cost. I do alot of card making and poster making. That Cricut Joy would be perfect for what I need.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

The Cricut Joy is the least expensive but doesn’t have all of the capabilities of this machine, the Cricut Joy Xtra. This one (the Xtra) is only $50 more than the small Joy and it was developed keeping people’s budgets in mind. So it’s way more robust in capabilities without the expense of the larger machines. Hope that helps!

[@carmenhuldavelezsantiagoi8929]

Oh, I love it HuldafromPuertoRico 🎉 MuchasBendiciones!

[@itsapassion]

Grateful to come across your channel! I’m sold on this machine with only one question I can’t find the answer to - are the printing materials only compatible with an inkjet printer? Can you use a laser printer? Thanks for your review and demos!

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Only inkjet at this time. I think it’s because most people have inkjets at home. Hope that helps!

Hey beautiful 😍 ❤ very cool machine thank you for sharing beautiful have a blessed Week ❤

Thank you!

[@tessymerrick7429]

Hi Yami. Thank you for this info. I almost bought a Joy last week! Do you know if this machine can do multi-layered cut outs? I know the Explorer models and the Maker can. Thank you!! ❤

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

It sure can make layered cut outs!

[@jessidunn19kittys]

I knew there was a reason I’ve waited to buy the Joy! I am so excited!

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

I am glad you did! This one is totally worth the wait!

[@geritate3388]

I’ve had my machine for months. I am so frustrated. I don’t think it gives enough directions. I hope I live long enough to use my cricut joy.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

I am so sorry about that! I have quite a few Cricut tutorials on my channel on how to work Cricut Design Space and how to apply their many different types of materials onto products. I used my Cricut Maker for them, however, the main concepts are the same. I hope to be releasing another tutorial video with this machine in particular very soon. Here is the playlist for my previous tutorials kzbin.info/aero/PLl4XrGIDyyz8zJAgqcom71IAqdCh_NG9n

Did you print directly on the gold vinyl? I’ve never seen a printable vinyl in any color other than white or clear.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Yes ma'am! How cool was that!?!?!? 😱

[@kellihull7600]

I wish they’d stop being like Apple, having to buy new everything, they need to make things compatible 😡

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

I can understand that for sure. Sometimes I think consumer needs aren't always clear until a product is out on the market for a while. This ultimately serves those who want something that does more than the Joy but don't necessarily need the robustness of the larger machines and the Joy Xtra definitely fills that gap.

[@angelatanner1730]

I know the Cricket Joy has a magnet on the top rim to hold the blade while you use markers. Do you know if this one has that?

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

Good question! Let me get back to you on this one!

How does this compare to the original Joy? Is it just larger but have all the same features? I love that you make it look so easy, but as someone who has never used any of these types of electronic machines, the project part that you have to do on the computer is the part that confuses and overwhelms me.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

I don't have the Joy, but I will say it has a LOT more features than that one. The most exciting is the print then cut feature on the Xtra that the Joy doesn't have, plus the new paper DOES NOT get stuck in the printer (which used to happen to me all the time when I tried it with my bigger machine and original sticker paper) so that is a HUGE plus! And of course you can use this one to make larger patterns.

Yami thank you for your honest review. I have been on the fence about this one. I have the Joy which my daughter is lusting over. lol I hate the color of it and she loves it. It just clashes with my craft room. Is this one completely white? My room was designed around my Anna Griffin machines (gold and cream, then I added black and white). So that teal. I got a message from HSN that they will have it around 9/7-9/9 (I don't remember the date) But that will make it easier to get. Good luck with the baby! I am so happy for your family.

[@TheLatinaNextDoor]

LOL! Yeah I totally understand the color clash thing. Yes, it is completely white and it was designed that way for that reason.
