A little history about the maker of the Cricut Christmas cartridge. Provo Craft began in 1963 in Provo, Utah as a small retail store and has grown over the years, expanding dramatically to become a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of craft and hobby products to the paper crafting, scrapbooking, arts and crafts, home decor, and gift industries. Innovative designs and quality materials have allowed Provo Craft to receive more than 67 awards from leading industry publications.
Almost all of the Cricut Christmas Cartirdge can be used with the various Cricut machines. There are several different models of the Cricut Personal Electronic Cutter. The first is a compact machine that cuts a range of ½-5½ in half inch increments, and was released in 2006. The Cricut Expression Personal Electronic Cutter was released in 2007 and has a range of Ό-23½ in quarter inch increments. It also adds many new features, such as cutting the mirror of an image, or many of a single image. The Cricut Create Personal Electronic Cutter was released in 2008, and combined the compact nature of the original machine with the added features of the Cricut Expression.
In 2010, Provo Craft released the Cricut Cake Personal Electronic Cutter, which has all the functionality of the Cricut Expression machine, but was FDA approved and food safe with a washable stainless steel interior ideal for cutting edible materials such as fondant and gum paste. The Cricut Cake Mini machine was released late in 2010 and is a smaller version of the full size machine.

All Cricut models use adhesive cutting mats to hold the material in place. These mats are available in 6x12, 12x12, and 12x24 sizes.
models require cartridges manufactured by Provo Craft. The cartridges retail for approximately $20 to $89 and allow the Cricut to cut the letters and/or shapes on each cartridge. Cricut Design Studio allows further manipulation of the cartridge data.
