A few weeks ago I got an e-mail from a company called Papercraftingpro.com.  It was for a 2 day trial membership in there buying program.  After that it is 9.99 on month to order from them.  On there website they have Yudu, Cricut, Gypsy, Cuttlebug, Quickkutz, CGull Totes, Zutter BIA, Yourstory and more.  There was also a 15% discount coupon off the first order. The prices that they offered just seemed to be to good true so I did a search of them on the net.  I read that a few people had ordered from them on the Cricut.com MB and received there orders.

I told my friend Lana about this site and that they had really great prices but that I was a little nervous to order form them.  I told her I wanted the Yudu and they have it for 137.00 and with the coupon it would be 15% off.  We decided that we would order the Yudu and share it and split the cost of the machine.  It is something we both wanted but we are not going to make T-Shirts or screen print everyday.  Sharing it just makes sense to us and we each would buy our own accessories like ink and stuff.  We paid through paypal with a credit card.

This is what we ordered, and I am not kidding about the price.  This is really what we paid, it is a screen print of the invoice.  Even ohmycrafts.com does not have these kind of prices on the Yudu, Speaking of Winter Cricut Cartridge or Dinosaur Tracks Cricut Cartridge.

Whooooo HOOOOOOO YUDU!!!!!!!!!!

Today our order came!!!  The only thing that I did not like was that they opened the Yudu box and stuck everything else that we ordered in the box.  Nothing got damaged or anything but the order does show shipping for 2 boxes and they only sent it in one.  The price we paid though can not be beat anywhere so I am not going to complain.   No where can you find the Yudu for 137.00 and buy 3 packs of emulsion sheets and 3 mesh screens for what we paid.  One pack of emulsion sheets at the store are 19.99 and one mesh screen 24.99.  I was amazed at the price of the Gyspy.  It is listed at 195.00 and $9.16 shipping.

Since I have to work for the rest of the week and Lana has the next 2 days off she is going to try it out first and tell me what she thinks of it.  I have next Sunday and Monday off so I am going to try and make something then and play with the new cartridges.

New cartridges have been added to Design Studio and the Gypsy.

Here are the new cricut cartridges added.

1. Destinations.

2.  Designer’s Calendar

3.  When It’s Cold Outside

4.  Snow Friends

5.  Very Merry Tags

6.  Dinosaur Tracks

7.  Pagoda

8.  Old West

9.  Elmo Party

To update Design Studio you have to download the current font pack here.

To update your Gypsy you have to connect it to your computer and sync it.  People on the cricut.com message board state that they are having trouble syncing it and had to uninstall the Gypsy Sync software and then download and install it again.  The Gypsy then syncs fine.  If you also have trouble you may want to try that as well.  I updated my Gypsy and my friends and did not have any trouble.

Sorry for the delay in posting this.  There are some new cricut cartridges that are available for pre order.

The first 3 are special editions.  I have heard them referred to as mini cartridges because they don’t have full content on them.  I have also heard that they will be available only for a limited time.  Once they are sold out, they won’t be available any more.

Snow Flakes

Snow Friends

Very Merry Tags

Dinosaur Tracks

Old West

Pagoda

I have to admit, that the last 3 are not really something that I am interested in.  I found that www.ohmycrafts.com is having a bundle pre order sale.  You can can the Snow Flakes, Snow Friends and Very Merry Tags for $69.97 or Dinosaur Tracks, Old West and Pagoda for $139.00.  They have a 20% off any order coupon (enjoy is the code).  I am not usually a pre order type of person but I might just do the first snow and tag bundle.
