Regular Materials With Cricut Joy : Can I Only Use Smart Materials?

After the initial excitement over the new Cricut Joy settled down, my first and most important question was “but can I use regular materials with Cricut Joy?”  Before investing in this cute little machine, I wanted to make sure that all my current materials could still be used and I wanted to ensure that I wouldn’t be limited to using only Smart materials that would be released only for the Cricut Joy.  If you are on the fence about whether you want to add the Cricut Joy to your craft table and are currently struggling with using regular materials with Cricut Joy, this tutorial is for you!  The short answer is…YES!  I will show you how you can still use your regular materials with Cricut Joy, just in case you are like me and don’t want to be limited to only using their Smart materials.  But truth be told, their Smart materials are pretty fantastic too and I found myself purchasing an arm full on the day the Joy released.
