I have found that the website for Hallmark Scrapbook will have the cheapest prices for all of the cartridges. Last Christmas, I bought 12 cartridges and only spent about $150 (qualified for free shipping icon_smile.gif )

If you watch that site, they will have several specials on the machines as well.

I purchased my expression machine off ebay for about $200 thumbs_up.gif and it came with 2 cartridges. I had the baby (original) machine before that -- I bought that one at Sam's Club for $225 thumbsdown.gif (but it came with 3 cartridges, 4 cutting mats, the tool kit and 4 extra blades).

you just have to be patient with the purchase ... when the timing is right -- you will know icon_biggrin.gif

Hope this isn't a stupid question, but how do you clean the blade after using it to cut gumpaste or fondant?
I have a Cricut, but haven't used it yet because I don't want to ruin the blade. Anyone?

I just got the Cricut Expression (craigs List) but I thought I couldn't use it for gumpaste unless I had the deepbut blade? Not the green one but the purplish/blue one.....I would love it if I could use it now without waiting for my blade.....thx

Depends on how thin you can get your gumpaste . . .

This may be a common sense question, but...

If I use the Cricut with gumpaste, can my sis use it for scrapbooking still? Just wondering if switching mediumns has an effect on the machine.

It's a Cricut (pronounced just like cricket, the bug) and it's a computerized system for cutting paper. Clever cake people have adapted it for use with cutting gumpaste and fondant. If you do a search on "Cricut" (not circuit), you will find a TON of reading about this wonderful tool. You can also go to www.cricut.com

i am also very intrigued by the cricut and spent last night reading about it. it sounds perfect for those of us whose fine motor skills aren't so fine.
what i haven't figured out is getting one for under $150.
i'm assuming that the $99 machines were bought on sale - please correct me if i'm wrong.
