Default Do I Need the W'Blade instead of Cricut??

AACK!!! I am a sick puppy.....but the wishblade can cut continuous words, unlike the Cricut....no additional cartridges to buy...it uses any TT font.

But I already have a Cricut and 6 cartridges! I'm thinkin' of getting the WB, trying it out, and then selling the Cricut. <sigh> I am truly bad.

YES!!!

In the long run i think it will save you much more money. I've wanted a wishblade for about a year, but I just can't bring myself to fork over the cash! I would get it for title making alone!

Can you tell me what special features you can do with the WB. I just checked it out on HSN. Can you do a Shadow feature or cute your letters in tags, ovals, circles, shapes?

Did you see you can do the Flexplan with it and have 5 payments of $89? Yes, I love my Cricut but maybe this is something that can be a companion??

If I were going to buy that type of machine, and DH thinks I should sometime in the "future" - then I would definitely go for the Wishblade first. Besides, the new Wishblade is Pink! LOL! It definitely seems a better value in the long run since you can take basically any image you can design or find and cut it out with the WB and think of all those fonts? I have thousands of those, just think of the possibilities!

DH was trying to convince me that I should buy a Wishblade over a CuttleBug too but I know those are more "companion" machines rather than competitors. Plus I wanted to cut through Chipboard. Besides we can't really afford the WB now. I would have seriously thought of buying the WB soon if it did Chipboard.

Default If you are interested...

Hello-
I am looking to sell my WB. I've only used it for one project and it is quite awesome. We are about to move and I am trying to consolidate.
Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks!
Sarah

I bought the quick kut silloutte because I can download quickkut design, buy .gsd files and design my own. I bought it at my LSS with a 40% off coupon and got a $20 gift certificate so it was a great deal. I like the colors better - not bright pink- so my DH doesn't notice it everytime he walks into the room.

Naughty girl you sound like me (even tho I own neither product). If I were to buy that type of product, I would SO go for the wishblade first. Cricut is still popular so you could probably sell yours pretty easily!
