What is the Expression 2?
The Expression 2 is an electronic cutting machine. With the touch of a button, the Cricut Expression 2 cuts out letters, shapes and words in various sizes using your choice of papers. You can do several cuts at the same time on the same piece of paper.
The Cricut Expression 2 uses electronic cartridges that are preloaded with different designs. Once you choose a design, the machine cuts it into the paper. Cricut Expression’s cartridges contain multiple shapes and pictures to choose from. You can choose the size of your cutout and preview it on the LCD display screen before you make the cut.
You can choose from a wide variety of papers and materials to use with the Expression 2, including vellum, card stock, thin chipboard.
