Cricut 29-0003 6-by-12-Inch Adhesive Cutting Mat, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Even after the stickiness is long gone, these are great for craft projects, especially using Xacto knifes & glues, etc. They also keep beads from rolling around. They last longer if you wipe them down with a wet wipe after each use to remove the dust & paper bits. I love these mats!

Designed for use with a Cricut 29-0001 cutting machine, this set of two adhesive pads comes in handy when creating intricate paper crafts. The cutting mats feature printed rulers and markings, as well as a tacky surface that gently adheres to paper to ensure smooth and accurate cuts. Using both mats allows for cutting one item while working on another. The self-sticking pads can also be used for storing the paper or vinyl that has already been cut. The reusable mats measure 6 by 12 inches each and last for 25 to 40 full mat cuts depending on the paper used.

Cricut 29-0270 12-by-24-Inch Adhesive Cutting Mat, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When you buy the expression machine - it doesn't come with this sized mat! You're reading this right, it DOES NOT INCLUDE a 12x24 MAT! Which is annoying because you need this mat to do projects larger than 12". This isn't an every day mat, this is really best used for projects over 12" (especially for the price point)
Couple of things to keep in mind -
Make sure you adjust the blade depth that's appropriate for the material you're cutting - example, don't use a 6 for vellum. This will cut into your mat, and will ruin your mat. It seems like that is the quickest cause of mat destruction.
Don't leave your material on the mat for ages - it may actually keep your material STUCK on the mat (oops)
Keep the plastic protector on the mat when you're not using it
You can flip the mat around to use it - (the arrow doesn't have to point at the machine, when your mat is not sticky, flip the arrow to face you.
Another tip i've heard - wipe the mat with some water to make it tacky again
LASTLY!!!! These mats are kinda pricy, because you NEED it to use the machine - so keep checking your local ads for their 40% (or 50% if you're lucky) coupons to get these mats.

Cricut 29-0386 12-by-12-Inch Tacky Cutting Mats with Measurement Grids, Set of 2 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I always have backup Cricut products on hand and Amazon has the best selection of items, in stock & the best prices. These mats are sometimes hard to find in stores and I received mine in a few days (I have the Prime membership though).
You can wash and dry the ones you have and alternate using 2-3 mats to keep them in use alot longer. You can also make them less sticky by placing a clean white t-shirt over them to reduce some of the stick that can tear lightweight paper or vellum.

Designed for use with the Cricut Expression machine (sold separately), this set of two cutting mats offers a simple way to accurately trim paper, vinyl, and other media for use with crafting projects. The durable units feature a thin layer of tacky adhesive, which gently grips materials and holds them flat to prevent tearing or shifting during trimming. Printed with easy-to-read rulers and measurement markings, the mats remove the guesswork from cutting, which means fewer mistakes and less wasted paper. Best of all, the reusable units last anywhere from 25 to 40 full mat cuts (depending on the type of paper cut), making them a smart and efficient addition to crafting collections. Generously sized to hold a variety of paper or cardstock for scrapbooking, card-making, and other paper crafts, each cutting mat measures approximately 12 by 12 by 1/5 inches.

Cricut Spatula Tool Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I kind of want to give this item a low review simply because I do not believe it should be extra. It should be something that comes with the machine.. But that has nothing to do with its purpose or function. I use mine all of the time. If I am cutting I am using the spatula to remove my cuts. It always works great and when I use it I rarely tear anything.
For thin papers or extra sticky mats this is a must!

Cricut 29-0002 Replacement Cutting Blades for Cricut Cutting Machines Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not sure if it's just in my head, but the sharpness of the replacement blade seems duller than the original blade that came with the machine???!?
I've debated getting the deep blade to replace the standard (that has more settings - this only goes up to 6). Still debating because I'm not impressed with the replacement blades - i do have the deep cutting blade which is great for thicker items like felt, and foam. For the price, I'd expect more than 2 - I've just replaced my blade after having the machine for 2 months (I'm not a scrap-booker), I can't imagine how often a scrap-booker will go through a blade.
Amazon has great prices for them - it's been hard using the store coupons for the Cricut accessories. So far only Hobby Lobby will accept them. Michael's refuses to because it violates their agreement with Cricut.
You HAVE to use their blades to make your cricut work - so the real debate would be where to buy them, and how to get them at the best price - keep checking out Amazon, I've noticed the pricing has fluctuated in the last 2 months by a few dollars.

If the quality of cuts from your Cricut cutting machine begins to decrease, it might be time to replace the cutting blade. Two replacement blades are included in this blade set. The Cricut replacement blades can be used in either the 29-0001 or 29-0300 machines. The durable custom-designed blades deliver sharp, precise cuts and will last for 500 to 1500 cuts, depending on the type of material being cut. Be careful when handling the cutting blades, as they are extremely sharp, and always unplug the Cricut machine before replacing the cutting blade. Detailed instructions for removing the old blade and inserting the new blade can be found in the user manual that came with the machine. The package of two replacement cutting blades measures 4-1/2 by 3 by 1/2 inches.
