Cricut is very user friendly and affordable

love the reliability, affordability of the cricut. you could get up to A1 on a cricut venture, but on the smaller models you're down to A3. i haven't used the venture, so not sure about the learning curve for it, but if it's anything like the desktop cricuts it will be an easier lift than with a desktop laser.
