One of the best things about the Cricut Maker is that you can use all of the different tools. The Scoring Wheel is amazing. I used it for this Christmas Village, and it worked amazingly for scoring the Cricut Kraft Board. The scoring stylus just doesn’t score as well as the scoring wheel.

If you have a Cricut Maker, the Knife Blade is a necessity! It is amazing to cut wood with as well as chipboard. You can see one of my favorite chipboard projects here. I used wood cut with the knife blade for this Holiday Card.

    Unless you are using tools that can ONLY be used by a Cricut Maker machine, these same projects can be made by owners of a Cricut Explore machine. And there are some materials that require the additional cutting force pressure of the Maker to use, but the Explore still has an impressive listing of materials it can cut and folks can create amazing projects with.

      Some of these projects can be made on the Explore family of machines. A lot of them do use the tools that are only available on the Maker though.
