C'mon GiGi, tell us what you really think! What the hell is guy using for a squeegee? A Rock? Man, too funny. Royster's probably right, he's making money hand over fist.

Oh i'm just jealous that his scissor are girlier than mine.

When he started making those little tiny cuts, with his pink handled safety scissors... well I just had to write him a little note?

What keywords did you use to find this? "Middle aged Gay Man, Cricuteer, Jukebox, scrapbooking" LOL That's funny

GG is my newest hero.

(and I HATE Cake Boss! Also Patty Stanky the Millionaire Matchmaker. And CriCut in general.)

Why is everyone so bent out of shape over this guy? He is not selling these to sign shops. You guys sound like teenagers, grow up.

This is for scrapbooking people who want custom designs. Maybe mock him if he was displaying his wares at a sign convention. Do you really want these people in your shop spending hours on deciding what font to use, what color, explaining how to install the graphics properly, etc? Cmon, be glad that this product exists. This thing is not going to replace Mimikis, Graphtec, Mutohs etc

I dont' know what part of this post is more ironic - the part where you post something factual ("This thing is not going to replace Mimikis, Graphtec, Mutohs etc") or the part where you totally miss the point ("Maybe mock him if he was displaying his wares at a sign convention.")

The problem those of us who do this for a living have with the CriCut is that people ARE out there using it to try and get into the sign business. And in doing so are pricing out window jobs at 20% of what we charge.

That is my point, he's not at a sign convention. Looks like a scrapbooking or craft show

This is like saying that you are threatened by people at flea markets. They are not making site signs, vehicle wraps, etc. They are usually selling copyrighted logos and "stickers". I doubt there is a sign shop with a storefront that makes all their signs with a cricut

Circleville Signs · #38 02-08-2010, 10:36 AM

Point. Missed.

Awesome! Now I don't have to deal with the people that I absolutely hate dealing with.

I was in the local art supplies store this weekend and was looking at all the Cricut stuff and was blown away by the prices of everything...

I will say that they filled in that scrap booking niche perfectly! That's the only thing I'm surprised about that didn't come sooner than it did.

Still trying to figure out why he said the transfer tape was double sided.

I'm saying if you want to bitch, bitch at Cricut. Not some guy peddling his wares at a craft show

Every product at Home Depot and Lowe's can potentially put every handyman, painter, drywaller, electrician, etc out of business.

The cricut people are not the ones putting you out of business.

Marlene · #42 02-08-2010, 10:51 AM

if I become a Circuteer, will that "groovey" music play when I weed my vinyl off the wax paper?

There a big difference between a d.i.y. project and devaluing the marketplace. I don't see many people with no construction experience buying a hammer and a bag of nails and passing themselves off as a carpenter as you do the cricuteers.

Again-point missed.

Maybe not in Jersey :)

Pat White · #45 02-08-2010, 08:48 PM

Dammit Chris I want my 7 1/2 minutes back!!
What a douche.... used a rock to squeegee the premask then wonders why it's not lifting off the release liner. Maybe because he didn't do it first thing in the morning...?
:roflmao:

BadAss · #46 02-08-2010, 08:58 PM

WOW!!! I am sooooo glad I don't have to apply my big stuff with that tiny squeegee

GAC05 · #47 02-08-2010, 09:34 PM

I'm still looking over the Cake Circut.
I wonder if it will cut magnetic material?
The stuff they show it cutting looks like it is about the same thickness.
Could be useful....

I don't think you would need much of a blade or pressure to cut that fondant, I doubt it would hold up to magnetic!

fandant on a door would probably cause less damage then magnets... hmm. and it would provide a tasty lunch time snack!

trakers · #54 02-08-2010, 11:46 PM

He should be called "Cricut Carl", that is a snappy name.

It looks like a Mattel toy. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Of course after spending $250 today on a friggin roll of black vinyl and transfer tape the Cricut is looking better all the time.

ProWraps · #55 02-08-2010, 11:54 PM

ours comes on friday. ill let you know heh. i have a 24" plotter she could use but i didnt want her to have to mess with the computer etc. this thing probably does have its place for ease of use and whatnot. ill soon know!

note to fred: if i start posting scrapbooking posts, please delete my account IMMEDIATELY.

FYI, update! NEW! business hours are only 5 am to 8 am so the atmosphere is dry. Rest of the day will be spent using your magic markers.

netfryer · #58 02-09-2010, 12:08 AM

W-O-W, i LOL'ed. Where can i get some of that 3mm vinyl? Might be good for MX wraps!

fisheye48 · #59 02-09-2010, 12:56 AM

did anyone else catch this?? you can take that on and off your wall for up to 2 years...but the "transfer tape" has a grid on it to line it up?

ProWraps · #60 02-09-2010, 01:38 AM

bro, there is so much wrong with that vid, that is why i posted it. 6 millimeter vinyl. need i say anything more? heh.
