You have received a Cricut Joy machine - LUCKY YOU! Welcome to the Cricut family. Let’s help you get started.
First, let’s see what’s in the box!
Getting Started
How do I set up my Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker machine? Completing machine setup automatically registers the machine to your account. To set up your Cricut Explore, Explore One, Explore Air, Explore Air 2, or Cricut Maker machine, follow these steps: Windows/Mac 1. Plug in the machine and power it on. If you did not complete setup when you connected your machine to your computer for the first time, re-connect your machine, go to design.cricut.com/setup or select New Machine Setup through the Design Space account menu, and follow the on-screen prompts.
Your Cricut Joy machine comes with everything you need to get started. You will even create a simple sticker at the end of the new machine setup process.
First, let’s setup the machine:
Now that you’re all setup and have cut the sample image, let’s talk a bit more about Design Space!
Design Space
During setup, you were able to play around a bit in Design Space. Pretty cool, right? All Cricut cutting machines work with Design Space, an app that allows you to select images that you can then turn into projects. We have lots of helpful articles and videos to guide you through making everything from cards to vinyl decals to t-shirts. Watch my favorite YouTube playlist here to understand how it works:
Once you get the hang of Design Space, you’ll want to cut and write more and more things! Lucky for you, there are more than 50 different materials Cricut Joy can cut, including our innovative and easy-to-use Smart Materials™.
Smart Materials
These clever crafting materials work without a cutting mat, so you can just load the material directly into your Cricut Joy machine and go. Smart Materials come in a variety of material types, including Smart Vinyl™, Smart Iron-On™, Smart Label™ Writable Paper, and Smart Label™ Writable Vinyl.
With Smart Materials, Cricut Joy can cut an individual, continuous shape up to 4.5 inches wide and 4 feet long, and repeated cuts up to 20 feet long! For all other materials, the size of your mat would limit the size of your design.
Insert Cards
One of our favorite innovations design specifically for Cricut Joy are the Insert Cards.
Insert Cards come in 10 and 12 packs of pre-scored cards, coordinating liners, and envelopes. The cards slide onto a Card Mat so that Cricut Joy cuts the card design on just the front flap of the card! No need to score or cut a coordinating envelope. You don’t even need to use glue because the card designs include a way to secure the card insert without the mess!
We’ve written a handy Card Mat Help article that will assist you in the basics. Learn more, here.
Here's a helpful video to get started with the card mat.

It likely goes without saying that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month – an opportunity to pause for a cause, break out the pink, but most importantly, reflect on the staggering fact: 1 in 8 US women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime. Let’s be clear: A cure could not come sooner.
This month at Cricut, we’ve decided to harness our passion for crafting for a higher purpose – to come together as a community and encourage the fighters, support our survivors, and remember the women and men we’ve lost.
Every day the Cricut Community rallies to support one another through all of life’s challenges. We lean on one another when we need love, support and encouragement. One of our own, Jennie S., experienced this first-hand. In 2016, she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 40. Today, Jennie is in total remission and she credits her incredible support system for helping her get through it.

Jennie’s story represents just one of hundreds of women in our greater Cricut crafting community. Outlook 365 new look. We see so many of you out there, showing support in the form of personalized T-shirts for the hometown race or a special sign for a best friend who is facing chemo. We’re humbled and so proud to be part of a circle that supports and inspires in beautiful and colorful ways. And our hope this October is to help make what you already do, do even more in the fight against breast cancer!
This October, we will donate up to $60,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation through the sales of our products and the use of breast cancer awareness artwork. The mission of the Breast Cancer Research Foundation is to advance the world's most promising research to eradicate cancer, with 90% of donated funds going directly to medical research. We’ve made sure all breast cancer awareness artwork in Design Space® is free for the month of October, so go ahead – make your heart out.
As a part of Cricut's overall donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, we have agreed to donate when Cricut members create using the breast cancer awareness artwork in Design Space in a project. Here’s how it works:
