If you're completely new to Cricut then I'd recommend getting the Cricut Explore Air 3 as your beginner machine, along with the Essential Tool Set, Brayer and a mix of Smart Materials.

By introducing Smart Materials, the process of making crafts on the Cricut Explore 3 is simple and no longer even requires a cutting mat.

Since the learning curve with a Cricut cutting machine can be steep, these are my favorite products to get started with sticker making.
