Cricut’s latest innovation—Cricut Joy Xtra—is finally here, launching in store and online in Canada on September 7, 2023 (find it at Cricut.com, Staples, Walmart, Michaels, Indigo, etc.). This sleek and compact Cricut cutting machine is designed specifically with beginners in mind, aiming to simplify and revolutionize DIY endeavours—and making it perfect for back-to-school season.
Compact enough to fit into any space, the Cricut Joy Xtra seamlessly integrates with your home (or dorm room) inkjet printer to effortlessly print and precisely cut full-colour images. Say hello to full-colour stickers, labels, cards, tags and T-shirts, all made by yourself at home, or on campus! Building on the capabilities of the popular Cricut Joy, the Cricut Joy Xtra takes DIY to the next level, enabling you to create projects as large as 8.5 x 11” on a machine mat and up to 4’ long with Smart Materials.
Back-to-School With Cricut
With endless to-dos and preparation for the big first day, back to school can be daunting for parents, teachers and students of all ages. Cricut can help teachers get classroom-ready with decor ideas for every new holiday or theme, or customize their classroom organization, lesson plans, and activities to bring a unique approach to students’ learning.
On the home front, Cricut adds a touch of fun and organization to your home, easily becoming your go-to tool during evenings of homework and school projects. It’s so easy to personalize and label school supplies (no more misplaced water bottles!), reimagine little ones’ school wardrobes and create customized, unique teacher appreciation gifts all year round.
And, for students, Cricut can help keep you organized all year round, with custom organization that fits your style. Or, you can bring your dorm room dreams to life, from custom decals and decor, you can create a space that’s your own as you embark on your next chapter. Here are a few projects to get you inspired:
- Before and after school drink set
- Classroom storage tower
- Unicorn Backpack
- Alphabet wall border
- A+ teacher card

The Cricut is a die-cutting machine for creating crafts of all sorts. Go to cricut.com/setup and check out the materials you can cut with your Cricut machine. For such a big investment, you cannot afford to lose your way while setting up Cricut. And that is why we have gathered the steps for you. From setting up the machine, setting up the cutting mat, cleaning the mat to downloading the design software, cricut.com/setup is the only answer.
