Unboxing the New Cricut Joy™

Thank you Cricut for sending me a Cricut Joy™ to test out and share with my readers. As always, all opinions are my own.

I’m sharing all about Unboxing the New Cricut Joy™, what it can do, and all the supplies and items that comes in the box from Cricut.

I received the new Cricut Joy™ a few weeks ago. I’m always so excited to get a new machine, but just like maybe you a little terrified to get started and learn a new machine. Why is this? I’m happy to report that my machine only sat a week and then I put my birl girl underwear on and opened it up! I’m excited to share with you me Unboxing the New Cricut Joy™.

Since I’m cooped up at home like most of you I even recorded a video. Just like I did back when I unboxed the brand new Cricut Explore SIX years ago! I can’t believe it’s been that long, but it has! Also, don’t mind me looking like I’ve been stuck at home forever. Clearly this is as real as it gets here.

I will tell you that my favorite feature of this machine is the fact that you can take it anywhere and how it cuts up to 20 feet long!!!!
