Best Cricut Bundle Deals in 2022

In: Cricut

Are you new to Cricut and looking for the best Cricut Bundle Deals? Whether you’re purchasing a new Cricut Machine or EasyPress, or already have your Cricut, we’ve got you covered on the best materials and tools bundles to get you started on your Cricut adventure!

Best Cricut Bundle Deals for 2022 main

Maker’s Corner Crafts is reader-supported. If you make a purchase through one of my links, I can drink more coffee at no additional cost to you. Thank you for the coffee! As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. Learn more here.

I’ve selected Cricut Bundle Deals for those who want to focus on specific types of projects and by machine. My selections will fit if you already have a machine or are buying one for the first time.

This post is comprehensive. I recommend using the Table of Contents to select the types of deals by project or machine type that might be of interest to you so that you can get information specific to your needs.

Tip

You can save money and get free shipping on your bundle with a Cricut Access subscription. All you need is Cricut Design Space and a Cricut login. Cricut Access is great to have. It provides thousands upon thousands of graphics, phrases, projects and templates for you to make unlimited projects. You can even use most of the graphics commercially!

About My Recommendations

There are a few important things to note when selecting a Cricut Bundle deal. First, you get the best bang for your buck when they are on sale. Second, not all bundle deals are steals; some are a wash and a couple are more expensive than buying materials individually, especially when they are full price. I recommend waiting for Cricut Bundle Deal sales–they happen frequently and are worth the wait. This includes bundle deals for machines and materials. If you’re in a hurry to buy, most bundles will still be an overall deal, they just won’t be as substantial.

Also, some Cricut Bundle Deals don’t really give you the materials you might need or want. Therefore, you might find my recommendations different from others you may have read on other sites. You’ll find a few Cricut Bundle deals that I do not recommend, but I have designed some individual purchases that are a sort of “make your own bundle”, if you will. I believe these will give you more of what you’ll use as a first-time user than the bundles that I’ve recommended against.

Bookmark this page if you plan on waiting for a sale so you can come back and find your best deal again!

Below I will cover the best overall Cricut Bundle deal, and the best deals for specific project types and the best deals by Cricut machine and EasyPress machine. Let’s get started.

Best Overall Cricut Bundle Deal

Cricut Everything Materials Bundle Deal

Most times when buying a new Cricut machine, we aren’t sure what types of projects will be our favorite. In fact, we may find that we love several types! To find out what we like, we will need a little bit of everything in order to get set up. This will include tools and materials.

The Cricut Everything Materials Bundle is perfect for our needs for all Cricut machines including Cricut Maker series, Cricut Explore series and Cricut Joy. This includes all the tools you will need and vinyl, Iron-On (HTV), cardstock, foil, a variety of specialty materials, pens and more!

If you’re on a budget, the Cricut Essentials Materials Bundle is also a good buy. This will get you started with tools, Iron-On and vinyl which will set you up for you with lots of practice projects.

Although these bundles don’t include Smart Vinyl, I don’t recommend Smart Vinyl except for the Cricut Joy until you know the colors you will use the most. If you do want to get Smart Vinyl, you can always add on when you purchase your bundle. Good colors to choose are black and white at a minimum. If you want to expand, choose red, blue, gold and silver.

Note: If you will be using the Cricut Explore 2, you can’t use Smart Vinyl. Also, don’t forget your machine!

  • Foil Iron-On Sampler, Bejeweled
  • Everyday Iron-On Sampler, Elegance
  • Adhesive Foil Metallic Sampler, Bejeweled
  • Premium Vinyl Sampler Removable, Elegance

Cricut Bundle Deals by Project Type

For Vinyl Crafters

Premium Sampler Bundle Deal

I recommend the Premium Sampler Bundle for those of you who like to work with adhesive vinyl. This bundle has a wide array of popular colors lots of removable vinyl and transfer tape. Removable vinyl is great for beginners to practice with.

If you don’t have transfer tape already, buy some additional as this comes with two 48″ rolls. You will also need to get a tool set and a trimmer for this Bundle if you don’t have them already.  Also, do yourself a favor and get the XL Scraper while you’re at it. You’ll appreciate it so much more than the smaller scraper!

The premium sampler bundle includes
  • Premium Vinyl™ Sampler Removable – Tropical 12×12 (6 sheets) (2 ct)
  • Premium Vinyl™ Sampler Permanent – Pastels 12×12 (6 sheets) (2 ct)
  • Premium Vinyl™ Sampler Removable – Rainbow 12×12 (6 sheets) (2 ct)

  • Premium Vinyl™ Sampler Removable – Variety 12×12 (12 sheets) (2 ct)
  • Transfer Tape 12×48 (2 ct)

Premium Vinyl Bundle – Permanent Deal

If you want permanent vinyl and a lot of colors, consider the Premium Vinyl Permanent Bundle. You will need to purchase a tool set and a trimmer, and I would buy additional transfer tape. This is a great buy at less than $1.00 a square foot when it’s on sale for $99.99 or less. As above, do yourself a favor and get the XL Scraper while you’re at it.

The premium vinyl bundle – permanent includes
  • Premium Vinyl™ – Permanent Black 12×48 (2 ct)
  • Premium Vinyl™ – Permanent White 12×48 (2 ct)
  • Premium Vinyl™ – Permanent Red 12×48 (2 ct)

  • Premium Vinyl™ – Permanent Kelly Green 12×48 (2 ct)
  • Premium Vinyl™ – Permanent Greige 12×48 (2 ct)
  • Premium Vinyl™ – Permanent Blush 12×48 (2 ct)
  • Premium Vinyl™ – Permanent Purple 12×48 (2 ct)

  • Premium Vinyl™ Shimmer – Permanent Shimmer Black 12×48 (2 ct)
  • Premium Vinyl™ Shimmer – Permanent Shimmer Silver 12×48 (2 ct)
  • Transfer Tape 12×48 (1 ct)

For Iron-On (HTV) Crafters

Are you really into Iron-On projects? I have two options for you! One is a Cricut Bundle Deal, and one is a set of products that I recommend. If you really want to focus on Iron-On projects and are a beginner, select one of these options and purchase your machine separately. You will get the most bang for your buck with a great selection of Iron-On in a ton of colors. Once you find the colors you use the most, you can purchase them in rolls. These options also work great if you already have your Cricut machine!

Everyday Iron-On Sampler Bundle Deal

The Cricut Bundle Deal that I recommend is the Everyday Iron-On Sample Bundle. You will get tons of different colors. You’ll learn which ones you will use the most as you make lots of Cricut Iron-On projects, which you can buy rolls of later on.

The everyday iron-on sampler bundle includes
  • Everyday Iron-On™ Sampler – Classics (3 sheets) (1 ct)
  • Everyday Iron-On™ Sampler – Elegance (3 sheets) (1 ct)
  • Everyday Iron-On™ Sampler – Neon Glowsticks (3 sheets) (1 ct)
  • Everyday Iron-On™ Sampler – Basics (6 sheets) (1 ct)
  • Everyday Iron-On™ Sampler – Tea Party (3 sheets) (1 ct)
  • Everyday Iron-On™ Sampler – Neutrals (3 sheets) (1 ct)
  • Everyday Iron-On™ Sampler – Grasslands (3 sheets) (1 ct)
  • Everyday Iron-On™ Sampler – Coastal (3 sheets) (1 ct)

Bulk Everyday Iron-On Value Pack Rainbow +

The other option I recommend is the Bulk Everyday Iron-On Value Pack Rainbow 12 Count. I also recommend getting a black and white Iron-On sampler to go with it, as you will use a lot of black and white Iron-On. Consider getting two packs when these are on sale so you don’t run out quickly.

The bulk everyday iron-on value pack rainbow includes

12 sheets (6 colors, 2 each) 12″ x 12″ (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) of:

  • Red
  • Pink
  • Royal
  • Purple
  • Green
  • Yellow

For either of these options, you will need to purchase a tool set and a trimmer if you don’t already have these, and I also recommend the XL Scraper.  This will save you lots of time and headache scraping and cleaning your mats!

Iron-On projects work with EasyPress 3, EasyPress 2, AutoPress, heat presses and household irons. For best results, use an EasyPress or heat press. It makes everything so much easier!

For Infusible Ink Crafters

What I Don’t Recommend

If you’re looking to work with Infusible Ink, there are two Cricut Bundle Deals, of which I recommend neither: the Cricut Infusible Ink Everything Bundle and the Cricut Infusible Ink Essentials Bundle. These bundles aren’t good deals and they don’t include any tools. (Update: As of 9/29/22, I am no longer able to find either of these bundles on the Cricut Shopping site.)

Also, most people don’t work exclusively with Infusible Ink and sublimation. Usually we will work with Iron-On and Infusible Ink. These two bundles don’t offer any Iron-On.

What I Do Recommend

I recommend that you try Iron-On vinyl and Infusible Ink rather than just Infusible Ink. I would look to either the Everyday Iron-On Sampler or the Bulk Everyday Iron-On Value Pack – Rainbow and add on Cricut Infusible Ink. There are so many to choose from, and you can select the Infusible Ink that you like best. Also, add a tool set and a trimmer, and the XL Scraper if you don’t have these.

Household Iron or EasyPress?

When working with Cricut Infusible Ink, a household iron won’t cut it. It doesn’t get hot enough to transfer the Infusible Ink to the hat, t-shirt, bag, or whatever you are trying to make. Also, irons don’t heat consistently across the plate which is critical for successful transfers. Therefore, you will need either a Cricut EasyPress or a regular heat press when using Infusible Ink.

If you want to make mugs or hats, you will need a Cricut MugPress or a Cricut Hat Press. For tumblers, I recommend a convection oven / toaster oven. You don’t want to use a convection oven/toaster oven that you cook food in as it is dangerous due to the gases that are released in sublimation.

Cricut Bundle Deals by Machine

Sometimes we want the ease of buying a Cricut machine, tools and materials all in one. This can be especially helpful if you aren’t familiar with all that Cricut has to offer, or what you may need to start with. Many times, however, these deals are not the best option.

The good news is that it’s not difficult to buy a machine and add on a bundle that’s already put together. Below you’ll find recommendations that may be different from what you’ve read in other articles. I’ve done a lot of research with respect to what’s included, what you will most likely use as a beginner, and what is the best bang for your buck.

Cricut Maker Series & Explore Air 3 Bundle Deals

Although there are two Cricut Maker Series Bundle Deals for Cricut Maker 3, Cricut Maker and Cricut Explore 3, I don’t recommend them because they aren’t cost effective and don’t have the best selection of materials compared to other options.

Compare the Cricut Maker 3 series bundles and Explore 3 bundles.

Cricut Everything Materials Bundle Deal

I recommend that you go with the Cricut Everything Materials Bundle and buy your Cricut machine separately. This option will give you a nice sampling of materials and all the tools you need so you can try your hand at many different projects.

The Cricut everything materials bundle includes
  • Foil Iron-On Sampler, Bejeweled
  • Everyday Iron-On Sampler, Elegance
  • Adhesive Foil Metallic Sampler, Bejeweled
  • Premium Vinyl Sampler Removable, Elegance
  • Dry Erase Vinyl
  • Stencil Vinyl
  • Vinyl Chalkboard
  • Foil Poster Board Sampler, Bejeweled
  • Glitter Cardstock Sampler, Brights
  • Cardstock Sampler, Princess
  • Transfer Tape
  • Pen Set, Classics (5 ct.)
  • Scoring Stylus
  • True Control Knife, Blue
  • Cutting Mat Variety Pack, 12″ x 12″ 3 pk
  • Tools Basic Set
  •  Portable Trimmer

Cricut Explore Air 2 Bundle Deals

I have separate recommendations for the Cricut Explore Air 2 from the above: one for everything and one if you’re on a budget. In this subcategory I’m actually recommending machine+bundle deals!

Explore Air 2 Everything Bundle Deal

If you’re looking to get a variety bundle that gives you everything you need for your Explore Air 2, go for the Explore Air 2 Everything Bundle Deal.

The Explore Air 2 everything bundle includes

I also recommend the XL Scraper. It will save you a lot of headache!

Cricut Joy Bundle Deals

The Cricut Joy is a great machine for beginners, in case you are looking for a machine recommendation. It’s super easy to use and a lot of fun. It’s also priced just right. I love mine and keep it on my desk for easy access!

I have 2 Cricut Bundle Deal recommendations for the Cricut Joy based upon what you might use it for. Both of these recommendations require buying your Cricut Joy separately. However, these recommendations are simple: a Cricut Joy and a Cricut Bundle (you’ll need just a few extras)! Try to grab these deals on sale. Cricut runs sales frequently.

Cricut Joy Mixed Materials Essentials Bundle Deal

My first recommendation is the Cricut Joy Mixed Materials Essentials Bundle. This is a great bundle to try a variety of projects as it comes with a little bit of everything to get started. You can usually get it for a great price if it’s on sale too. If you don’t have any tools you’ll want to add a tool set, a trimmer, and transfer tape to complete your set. Also, you will want to add a Cricut Joy StandardGrip mat for cutting small pieces of vinyl or Iron-On. Don’t forget your Cricut Joy!

The cricut joy mixed materials essentials bundle includes
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Vinyl™ Sampler, Elegance – Permanent (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Label™ Writable Vinyl (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Extra Fine Point Pens, 0.3 mm (2 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Metallic Markers, 1.0 mm (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Iron-On™ Sampler, Elegance (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Card Mat, 4.5″ x 6.25″ (1 ct)

  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Iron-On™ Sampler, Classics (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Insert Cards, Glitz & Glam Sampler (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Replacement Blade (1 ct)

Smart Vinyl Essentials Bundle Deal for Cricut Joy

My second recommendation is the Smart Vinyl Essentials Bundle for Cricut Joy. If you’d like a bundle that has a more complete selection of adhesive vinyl, I recommend this bundle. You will want to add the following items to round out your beginner package:

  • Joy Smart Iron-On in red, silver, gold and blue (optional for iron-on projects only)
  • Insert cards of your choice (optional for card projects)
  • Cutaway cards of your choice (optional for card projects)
  • Cricut Joy Card mat for insert cards (optional for card projects)
  • Cricut Joy Smart Label Writeable Vinyl (optional for label projects)
  • Trimmer
  • Don’t forget your Cricut Joy!
The smart vinyl essentials bundle for cricut joy includes
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Vinyl™ Matte Metallic Sampler, Gala – Permanent (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Vinyl™ Sampler, Beachside – Permanent (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Vinyl™ – Permanent 5.5×48, White (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Vinyl™ Holographic Pattern Sampler – Permanent (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Transfer Tape, 5.5×48 (2 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Vinyl™ – Permanent, 5.5×48, Red (1 ct)

  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Vinyl™ – Permanent, 5.5×48, Gold (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Smart Vinyl™ – Permanent 5.5×48, Black (1 ct)
  • Starter Tool Set (1 ct)
  • Cricut Joy™ Replacement Blade (1 ct)

Cricut EasyPress Machines

Cricut EasyPress 2 and 3

There are two Cricut EasyPress bundle deals for the EasyPress 2, EasyPress 3 and EasyPress Mini: the Essentials Bundle and Everything Bundle. As of right now, the EasyPress Essentials bundle comes with more materials than the Everything bundle, but with the 12″x10″ mat instead of the 16″x20″ mat.

Cricut EasyPress Essentials Iron-On Bundle Deal

Courtesy of Cricut.com

I recommend the Cricut EasyPress Essentials Iron-On Bundle in the version, size and color of your choice. Each has a wider selection of materials than the Everything Bundle and it is a better bang for the buck. You can purchase the larger mat on Amazon, and I recommend doing so. I’ve found the smaller mat to be insufficient for projects.

You’ll also want to get a trimmer with this package, and I also recommend an XL Scraper to make your life easier,

The cricut easypress essentials iron-on bundle includes
  • Cricut EasyPress® 3 – 12″ x 10″ (30 cm x 25 cm)
  • Safety Base
  • Welcome Book
  • Materials for a practice project
  • Core Colors Essential Tool Set
  • EasyPress Mat 12×12
  • Everyday Iron On, Navy
  • Everyday Iron On, Gold
  • Holo Sparkle, Red
  • Glitter Iron-On, Gold
  • Glitter Iron-On, Silver
  • Everyday Iron-On Sampler, Classics 12X12(3)
  • Everyday Iron-On, White 12X24
  • Everyday Iron-On Sampler, Tea Party12X12(3)
  • Everyday Iron-On, Red 12X24
  • Everyday Iron-On, Black 12X24

Cricut Autopress

Cricut AutoPress Materials Everything Bundle Deal

Courtesy of Cricut.com

The Cricut Autopress Materials Everything Bundle is mostly Iron-On. If you’re new to Iron-On projects, I recommend getting the Everyday Iron-On Sampler Bundle and buying a trimmer and tool set. It’s less expensive and will give you a wide range of colors so you can find out what you will use the most. Again, I also recommend an XL Scraper.

the cricut autopress materials everything bundle comes with
  • Cricut Autopress™ professional heat press
  • Pressing Mat
  • Control Pod
  • User Guide
  • Portable 13″ trimmer
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, Neon Orange
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, White
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, Gold
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, Silver
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, Gray
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, Red
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, Navy
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, Royal
  • Everyday Iron-On 12 x 144, Pink

There are lots of bundles to choose from, and the ones I have presented represent only a few that are available through Cricut. As you can see, many, if not most, of the bundles I recommend are not “machine + materials” bundles. Most are a recommendation to purchase your machine separately from a “materials and tools” bundle. I believe you will be happy with these options.

If you have any questions, want to make recommendations or have any comments, please comment below. I always love hearing from you! Until then, happy, happy crafting!
