[kurdth1]

[mIsSaLeXaLeXi]

i want one in green :)

[tmansoccer12]

im goanna go find a video where they actually know what they're talkin about.

[MommaMel57]

So glad I watched this. I didn't even know where the stylus was. I was wondering why it didn't come with one :)

[nunyadambizznezz]

Hello, just an uneducated husband shopping for his wife who has a question. I'm not bragging but money is not really a problem for us. Still, I don't like the idea of having to buy so many cartridges, etc. This gypsy looks like it's getting closer to the answer. I take it you can load all of your cartridge patterns on it and download more to it from online, something like an IPOD removes the need to carry or buy CDs? That's cool, a step in the right direction....but...

[nunyadambizznezz]

@nunyadambizznezz what I was thinking would be the ultimate development for this thing would be the ability to load pretty much any image or say draw your own image to have the Cricut cut it. I don't see why that couldn't be a possibility. Photoshop software can identify images and cut around them why shouldn't this thing be able to do the same? I looked at them last year and decided that would be developed down the road so I waited to buy it for her......

[nunyadambizznezz]

@nunyadambizznezz

Seems the only reason they haven't developed that is to keep you coming back for more of their shapes, i.e. cartridges, or now maybe their own downloads. If Cricut doesn't open their machine to cutting shapes other than what they design and sell to you, another manufacturer will develop something that does. I always beware of products that you must always keep purchasing something from the manufacturer in order to use it.

[nunyadambizznezz]

@nunyadambizznezz

So my question is, are you aware of any product, Cricut or other, that allows you to cut pictures from say Word Art, or say a drawing you made on a tablet or scan in? While I may sound cheap about not wanting to constantly buy cartridges or downloaded images, I'm not really cheap. I would pay $1,000.00 easy for the properly developed product. If nothing exists that won't keep you coming back to the dealer I'll (she'll) just have to wait. Thanks for any info!

[DrunkBunny]

@xxMyamxx I just got a Cricut Expression, new in package factory sealed, off ebay for $167. Now I have to find something to do with my Cricut Personal :)

[milagros711]

HI Robyn you are the best can you create a video to create a word book with the Gypsy?

[dottieeeee]

just go for it, mess around with the item and go from there

[PlnkWlntEr]

I hate you!

[angel619SD]

I received mine from HSN yesterday! I love it! I have already stored/linked all my cartridges on it already. Got my 700 rewards points as well. How exciting!

[robynstamps]

No, you can only use the Cricut cartridges.

[Cath2891]

ooo look how shiny it still is :) you may have answered this already, but, I was just wondering does this only work with the expression?

[robynstamps]

Yes, it should work with all the Cricuts. :)

[sashasquashi]

how much was it

[robynstamps]

They are selling for $299.

[DrunkBunny]

@sashasquashi I got mine this week off ebay, new in sealed package (just like Robyn's) for $99! :)

[sashasquashi]

@DrunkBunny awhh yes thank you , i will be getting one for me soon

[babadeedee214]

oh.. and Robyn.. as I was reading through the post I noticed there seemed to be a repeated expression..You are so lucky!.. well I for one can say you have definitely earned this by being SO GENEROUS! So you deserved this blessing because you are such a blessing to all of us! YOU GO PINKIE!

[robynstamps]

Thank you so much!

[babadeedee214]

I just saw this on HSN with this outrageous bundle and I went straight to your blog to see if you had one.. and sure nuff YOU DO!! oh this is great now you will be able to take it with you when you are watching your kiddos..Thanx Robyn for being on the cutting edge of all that is Cricut!

[ckreege]

What a great new toy!! Can't wait to see more info about it. TFS

[anir0ks]

because I know how technology can be. What is Cricut going to do when these crash?

I know they're trying to keep from people using other people's cartridges but this seems like it is going to be a pain if that happens.

[dizzyrus1001]

wow i want one does anyone know when this will come to the UK and loving your pink bug never seen 1 that colour before and aint you the lucky one getting it before they even hit the shops in america looking forward to more vids thanks for sharing xxxxx

[mscheungca]

Great job Robyn! Look forward to see more Gypsy videos.

[smhellie]

so cool

[BCFPOSaint]

Hey Robin thanks for the vid! You said M's didn't have it. Where did you get it? Everyone keeps telling me they won't get it until October.

[robynstamps]

They will be available on HSN on September 24th & M's gets them in October. Mine was given to me by Provo Craft because of all the videos I make using their product.

[BCFPOSaint]

Of course I knew that lol. I've been watching since video 1 lol. Spaced out there. Any luck with video 140? I was still curious-LaShaun

[RedWolfScraps]

AHHH...so jealous. I have mine preordered from Michaels..I cant wait!!! Hopefully this week!

[mommunson]

OMG I have never heard of this where have I been?this is great. cant wait to see more.thanks for sharing.

[sil2289]

So what is the difference from using your cricut with or without the Gypsy. What's the purpose of this machine?

[robynstamps]

For one thing, you can store ALL of your cartridges. Also, it is portable so I can plan my projects while I am in the car, on the plane, or waiting at my kids' activities. :)

[sil2289]

Thank you so much for your response. That's great!

[lucielu5804]

AHHH! I am sooo jealous! I can't wait to be able to buy a Gypsy! You are sooo lucky! :)

[Craftdogfun101]

Lucky you :)

[bnlnkids]

great video, as always, robyn! thanks so much for the up -close look and personal opinion. :)

katty - once a cartridge has been downloaded to a gypsy device, it can no longer be downloaded to any other gypsy devices. so as long as your friend hasn't already downloaded her cart to her own gypsy device, and has no plans of ever doing so, then i suppose you could "borrow" her cart and download it to your own gypsy device. hope this helps. :)

[Kattyxotica]

Oh wow, good to know.

[cherrygirl016]

i dont get what it is?

[Kattyxotica]

Hmmm... I wonder if you can borrow a cartridge that you don't have from a friend and download it to the Gypsy.

[sular99]

oh my...that is soooooo cool. i saw a little video in michaels on it but didn't understand....now i want one lol.

[CraftJunkieToo]

You stinker!!!! You lucky duck.....heheheeee....how awesome for you. Can't wait to watch you play and show us more and more good stuff. Thanks Robyn - you rock girl! Ü

[ladiiekay]
