cricut expressions????

[chickers089]

do all cricut cartridges work in both machines??? I got 4 for christmas and didn't know if they'd work in the expressions.

They work in both Leanne.. so you can use with either. Yipee!! We can chirp together

[chickers089]

wish I could chirp bigger though. I got the Tags, Bags, & Boxes cartridge for Christmas and would like to make bigger tags bags and boxes, lol.

I have both bugs and the boxes aren't much bigger with the expression unless you use a 12x24 mat with that paper. A lot of the boxes on the smaller bug are cut at 5x 11.5 inches and they cut the same on the big bug. Some of the boxes are bigger, though, using a 12x12 mat but not all of them.

I love that the cartridges work in both bugs.

Do you know which "boxes" cut bigger? Hmmmm...wonder if there is a "list" with all of this info on it?
I signed up for the "Cheat Sheet" at cricut.com, but it was kinda confusing to me.
Maybe since I am just a "beeginner" it just seems confusing ~ LOL!:rolleyes:

Awww that is so cute and sweet....my daughters are 17 & 18, but they sure would've loved Barbie purses, too! However, they are still into "borrowing" all of my crafting "fun"
