I have a Cricut machine but am planning to get a ScanNCut2. I love the features of my Cricut and enjoy creating and downloading projects on it, but I also love to use my stamps to create cards. I like to have matching dies for my stamps but they are really expensive. I'm looking forward to buying a ScanNCut2 to be able to cut around stamped images and also experimenting with all the other things that it can do. In the long run, I think it will be less expensive to buy a ScanNCut2 instead of buying matching dies for stamps. At least that's my rationale and justification for getting one! :o)
