And once you buy a cartridge — it's yours to keep, even if you don't have a subscription to Cricut Access. I was confused about the actual, physical Cricut cartridge slot on my Cricut Explore Air 2 machine. Because I was completely new to Cricut I did not own any cartridges and did not know what to do with this thing.
But here's the thing, you can link the cartridges that you own to your Cricut Design Space account — which makes all of your cartridges available to you even without the physical unit. Here are the instructions on how to link your Cricut cartridges to Cricut Design Space.
But unfortunately, if you have a Cricut Maker machine, you will need a Cartridge Adapter to make it happen. If you have an Explore series machine or a Cricut Maker, you do not need to buy physical Cricut Cartridges.
You can buy these image sets in Cricut Access or if you have a subscription then many will already be included for you to use. As a relative newcomer to Cricut, I have had no reason to buy a cartridge and use my Access subscription for what I need. Even if I found a physical cartridge on sale somewhere, I still probably wouldn't get it just because it seems like it would be more trouble than it's worth.
I have a legacy machine still works perfectly. I could use a new cartridge by using the keypad and small screen on the machine. However, I think the trend is to move away from the physical cartridges and opt for a Cricut Access membership instead. I think if you reach out to customer service at Cricut they would be able to answer your question. Thanks for the info. I have the older cricut machine and wanted to buy a new cricut, but I worried if it would have the slot for the cartridge.
Now I know. Have a great day! I had the original cricut then got a silouhete cameo, I never bought cartridges I bought Sure cuts alot and used it on both, it works like design studio but better. If you want to use a retired set that is not included in design space then you need to buy it. If you have the maker you need the adaptor to link it but if you buy beware.
And can you imagine, someone linking up the cartridge to their account and then trying to sell it as used? Yes — buyer beware! Unfortunately, this can happen.

Before the Cricut Explore series, the main disadvantage of the cartridge system was that you were limited to what came on the cartridges.
Since cartridges are now completely optional with the newer Cricut machines, this is no longer a disadvantage! You can always upload your own designs or use free SVGs you find online. One major issue is that you can only link cartridges to a single Cricut account. After buying a bunch of cartridges you may feel like you are locked into the Cricut brand, or maybe even with a particular machine. This is great for Cricut, but not so great for sharing with the crafting and DIY communities.
The Expressions can use cartridges without the internet. For the Cricut Explore Air 2, you have to link the cartridge to your account. You cannot unlink or transfer a cartridge to another account. If you have already linked cartridges to Cricut Craft Room to use with a Cricut Expression, they are still available for you to use with any newer machine!
They are actually linked to your Cricut. You can transfer cartridges from your Gypsy to your Cricut account by linking your Gypsy to Craft Room, and syncing the device. All your cartridges will be uploaded to your Cricut account, and be accessible through either Craft Room or Design Space. Make sure your Gypsy is registered to the same email account you use for Cricut. Have no fear, your fonts are here! In order to see the fonts you can use, you first need to have some text placed.
Under the Cricut Angel Policy, you can sell up to 10, finished projects a year using Cricut products and some of their copyrighted material.
Read the full Cricut Angel Policy at cricut. The Cricut Maker does not have a slot for physical cartridges. In order to link physical cartridges to your Cricut account, you have to use either the cartridge slot on a Cricut Explore, or the small Cartridge Adapter that plugs directly into your computer through a USB slot. Yes, but only in the older Expression series, which do not have to be connected to the internet.
For the Cricut Explore and Maker models, the cartridges must be linked to your Cricut account. If you have already linked your cartridges to your Cricut account, they should be all ready to use in Design Space!
You cannot unlink the cartridges, or change what account they are linked to. So be careful buying used cartridges! Yup, just check out the Cricut Store. Many of them are digital only so you might be just as well off buying or using free fonts that you find online.
I have a huge collection of free SVG images if digital files would work for you. I noticed that the older cartridges have an over lay pad. It that used for the newer machine like the explorer air 2? If I use my sisters explore to link my cartridges to use on my new maker will that mean they will be automatically linked to her design space?
Im not any sort of professional but from what i know if you were to sign into your cricut account with her cricut explorer they should link to your account. This is very helpful. I have a expression and lots of cartridges and have been wondering what to do with them. I have been doing a lot of digital things and would like to be able to cut some of those items out with the machine instead of fatty cut.
Really could use some help because I am not sure of where to begin to learn how to cut the images with my machine that were downloaded from digital files. My question is, will the newer cartridges that came out work in the machine? Does that make sense? What I set it at vs what actually came out… thank u. I have lots on cartridges that I love and I do have the Cricut Explore air 2. My cartridges are linked to the design space no problem there.
My question is, I was trying to use the Wild Card cartridge to make a birthday card. The old machines automatically adjusted the sizes so everything fit well. I spent probably 2 hours trying to get a card to fit together and also had to search for all the pieces. Is there any way you can remove people from that service? All the cartridges for my original circuit have become very sticky to the touch. Is there a way to clean them…I tried rubbing alcohol and nail polish remover to no avail.
It adheres to your fingers too. I just came across this issue today when I opened my box of cartridges for the first time in about five years. I was able to remove most of the stickiness by using a hand sanitizing alcohol wipe. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Cricut Cartridges.
