Cricut Access is a subscription plan that unlocks over 400 fonts and 100,000 images and cut-ready projects in Design Space. Cricut Access also gets you a 10% discount on all product purchases (even sale items) on Cricut's website, other exclusive discounts, cricut.com/setup and licensed products from the likes of Disney, Marvel, and Hello Kitty. Cricut Access even gets you Priority Member Care, with 50% less wait time. You can get all of the details here, but overall, it's an extensive service for those who use Design Space.

It's worth noting that you can't save your favorite Cricut Access designs and use them after your subscription runs out.

Design Space is software you use on your desktop or mobile device to create projects with your Cricut. Design Space is free to use, and it's not optional: it's the only way to operate a Cricut machine. You do not need Cricut Access in order to use it.

There are some limited free fonts, images, and ready-to-make projects already in Design Space that you can use without a Cricut Access subscription at all. You can upload free fonts and images from the internet and you can create your own.

What exactly does a Cricut do?

The machine connects to your computer or smart phone via bluetooth or with a cable if needed. You can then create your own designs or download designs. Cricut has software called 'Design Space' where you can edit and adapt designs before asking Cricut to cut them out.

You can upload your own designs too! Find out how to upload images to Cricut Design Space in this handy video tutorial.

When your design is ready you simply press a button and the Cricut has a small blade which moves around the material you are cutting following the lines of the design you have created or downloaded.

The material is secured via a 'sticky' mat so it doesn't move as the blade moves around allowing a perfectly clean cut.

Find out how to clean your cricut sticky mats so they last longer and can be used again and again in this great tutorial from Emma Jewell.

There are many, many wonderful YouTubers who have created great step by step videos for you to use! We asked Christy Cain a Cricut Expert from the USA to tell us why she uses Cricut machines. Also take a look at her great introductory video.
