Our take on the 3 + Smart Material and Tools Pastel Variety Bundle
This bundle pairs the Cricut Maker 3 smart cutting machine with a pastel assortment of Smart Materials and tools, so you can start cutting, scoring and drawing right out of the box. The Maker 3 cuts 300+ materials, from delicate fabric and paper to heavier stock, and works with the full Cricut tool and blade range. It suits crafters who want one machine for vinyl, fabric, paper and thicker materials, and who value the bundled supplies over buying them separately. Against the Explore line, the Maker 3 adds more cutting force and fabric support; against a bare machine, the bundle saves you a separate materials run.
