Provocraft is providing crafters everywhere with the ability to produce professional looking handmade crafts that are personal and meaningful. Provocraft has patented a series of machines are easy to use and appeal to even the most novice crafter. People now have the means to make their own personal greeting cards and stunning scrapbooks.

Cricut has produced a line of machines that utilize cartridges and dies to cut out shapes and emboss designs on a variety of materials. These machines do not require a computer or special software to make them work. Leather, cork and tin sheets can be used with Cricut machines as well as the typical cardstock and scrapbooking paper. Just visualize the potential!

The Cricut Expression is the latest Cricut model to hit the market. It can still process a 24-inch piece of paper. That means characters can be made as tiny as inch to as huge as 23.5 inches. New and updated modes and functions allow more combinations of cuts for personalization of paper crafts. The Cricut Expression accepts all of the current Cricut cartridges on the market so upgrading does not all mean purchasing all new accessories.

The Cricut Gypsy enhances the design capabilities of the Cricut Express by making the design functions fully portable. Keep it handy and enjoy the freedom of designing wherever and whenever inspiration hits. Use Cricut's cartridge library to select one or more characters to place on the electronic cutting mat. Let your creatively loose. Then save your design on a cartridge to use on your cutting machine.

The Cuttle Bug does not require electricity, which really enhances its portability. At only 7 pounds, the Cuttle Bug can easily be transported to any location. It is easily used by left-handers because the handle can be attached to either the left or right side. Load the machine with dies and material, turn the handle and enjoy your perfect product. The kid version is called the Cuttle Bug Kids. The Cuttle Bug can still use the kid dies with a special included attachment.

Coluzzle is the first cutting system that Provocraft designed. A special blade is used with sturdy templates to produce clean, quality cutouts for scrapbooking and other crafts. The templates are available for shapes, frames and letters. There are also themed kits available.

Provocraft machines and their accessories are available in most craft supply stores. They go quickly so it is difficult to keep everything in stock. With all of the templates and accessories available, it is hard to display everything. Therefore, online shopping may be the best course for purchasing these products. Online shopping is convenient for comparison-shopping, you get to stay in your own home, and you have unlimited access to all the fantastic products Provocraft has to be designed.
