CRICUT MARKERS-QVC

[ScrapperMoose]

I was watching a scrapbooking show on QVC and saw that the Cricut now has markers! It's the same machine as the one I bought when they came out last year, but now they are selling it with markers. Does anyone know how to buy JUST the markers? Surely we don't have to buy a whole new machine just for the markers feature! Lisa Bearnson simply pulled out the blade and replaced it with a marker and made the cutest flower. Where can we get these markers??? Thanks!!

I was reading on the Cricut message boards earlier this morning. The word there is that QVC is test marketing the markers right now. The markers they sell are exclusive colors, but in June Provo Craft will be releasing other colors to the general public.

Found this on Provocraft's site:
Cricut:
There has been some confusion about a Cricut bundle currently available on QVC. Some people have read on the QVC site about a "Cricut II." Let�s be very clear--it is a second �bundle� or "offer" with QVC and not, repeat, it is NOT a new machine. (This is not referring to Cricut Expression, nor is Cricut Expressions a part of this offer.) The "second" exclusive QVC Cricut bundle will include the regular first generation Cricut, with some color modification; it will have green highlights on the shell.
Included with the machine are:
1 - Set of pastel inks (Rose, Tide Pool, Thistle, Kiwi, Butter, Cocoa, and Black Raven). All but Black Raven are exclusive to QVC.
2 - Cartridges: Cuttin� Up (exclusive to QVC) & Printing Press.

Inks or markers expand the possibilities and versatility of the Cricut. You�ll be able to use the cartridges to draw your favorite shapes! Cricut Color inks will be shown at this summer's CHA show in Chicago. We will have more details (colors, sets, individual availability, etc.) at that time.
