Design Themed Parties - Children love a themed party from Disney themes to Pokemon to Princess. Use your cricut to design and make decoration packages for various party events. Design them, and let the machine cut out different sized decorations. Maybe make name tags for the children, even trading cards linked to the theme the children can play with at the party.
Design Cards and Invitations - Homemade cards and invitations are appreciated by everyone as they reflect time and thought. So why don’t you make some and sell them. Local craft stores are sometimes happy to put your designs on display and sell to their customers, taking a cut for themselves of course.
Design Scrapbook Layouts - Scrapbookers always stress over that perfect page layout, or making that final touch that just completes it. Having a Cricut machine gives you a total advantage over over crafters if they do not have one. Make die cuts of scrapbook page layouts to sell or even offer your services to use the large multitude of cartridges to give a scrapbook a great finish. Gives you a chance to do a lot of designing!
Design a Website - Make a website and sell crafted items online. You can get a free blog site and then build it up offering your products there. Make business cards and pass them on with the website address on it.
There are many design and selling opportunities with a Cricut if that is what you are interested in. Just give it a go and you may be surprised how successful you are!
