Motherfucking Cricut
Yes, there is it is, finally. The F Word. We all knew it would show up eventually, but I don't think any of us suspected it's Grand Debut would be in a post about scrapbook tools.
When I saw the advertisements for the Cricut, I fell in love. And when I saw all the potential fonts, I fell in lust. Must have, MUST HAVE.
So, with the trust of a True Believer, I shucked out not only $300 for the machine, but an additional $80 for my second font. Plus tax. Neither of which I exactly told Mario about.
I hate this fucking machine with a passion previously unknown.
It claims to be engineered for cardstock (and cautions tenderness regarding light weight papers like vellum). So I load in my industry standard Bazzill cardstock, set the machine's cutting blade for MAXIMUM depth....and it just sort of gently kisses the surface of the paper, leaving a vague blush-ish outline of my text.
Believe me, if I WANTED to spend three hours cutting letters out with my X-acto knife, I would have bought a pencil and a $3 stencil to guide my letters, alright? But to spend almost $400 to end up exactly where I began is criminal.
Shame on you. Shame on you.
