Our take on the Cricut Joy 2 Die Cutting Machine Essential Bundle

The Cricut Joy 2 is Cricut's compact die-cutting machine, and this Essential bundle pairs it with the starter tools and materials most new owners need. It cuts vinyl, cardstock and iron-on in small formats and handles simple one-color drawing and label jobs. It is the smallest and simplest machine in Cricut's lineup, so it suits card makers, labelers and gift crafters rather than anyone cutting large projects. Compared with the larger Explore and Maker machines it trades width and material range for a small footprint and a quicker learning curve.

Questions and answers

What is included in the Essential bundle?
The bundle pairs the Joy 2 machine with starter tools and materials for first projects. Exact contents vary, so check the box list before buying.
Can the Cricut Joy 2 cut large designs?
No. It is built for small formats, so designs wider than its cutting area must be split or scaled down. For posters or large decals, the Explore or Maker line fits better.
Does it need a computer or phone?
Yes. You design and send jobs through Cricut Design Space on a computer or the mobile app, connected over Bluetooth.
Is it good for beginners?
Yes. Setup is simple and the machine is forgiving on vinyl, labels and cards, which makes it a common first Cricut.
Can it cut leather or wood?
No. It handles vinyl, cardstock, iron-on and similar thin materials. Thick materials require the Maker machines.
Does it work without Cricut Access?
Yes, you can use your own designs and images. A subscription adds Cricut's library of fonts and artwork but is not required.
