Amazon Prime's Big Deal Days event has brought about some great discounts if you've been eying a Cricut digital craft machine but didn't really know where to start. The retailer's savings on Cricut's best bundles (these package a craft machine and materials to get you started) are genuinely good value. These even include deals on the new Cricut Joy Xtra and Cricut Venture.

Below I've listed some of the best Cricut bundle Prime Day savings I've found. These will get you started in Cricut and contain a machine, materials and tools. If you need more info on Cricut, read my guide to the best Cricut machines (we also have guides to the best Cricut accessories and the best Cricut materials).

The Cricut Joy is the perfect beginner craft machine and good for kids and adults. It's ideal for card making, which is why I've chosen this bundle over the similarly priced Joy Essentials Bundle.

The Explore 3 is Cricut's best entry machine for all-rounders, its sits below Maker 3 (it cuts fewer materials and is slower) but above Joy and Joy Xtra (it's larger). This is big discount on a very good machine, with everything you could need.

This looks like it's only at Amazon, with Cricut itself not running this Maker 3 bundle (and its own bundles are more expensive). A genuine Amazon Prime Day deal for this leading craft machine.

The US gets the Card Insert bundle, but in the UK the best deal is on the Starter Bundle that includes pens, card stock as well as vinyl sheets. If you just want the machine, Amazon has reduced Cricut Joy by £44 from £189.99 to £145.99.

The Mug Press is a personal favourite but it's a specialist craft machine that prints designs made on Maker 3, Explore 3 or Joys onto mugs. This is a good offer, but remember you'll need a digital craft cutter to use it; I'd recommend the Joy for small mugs and the Explore 3 for all mugs (though the new Joy Xtra will work too, see below).

Cricut Joy Xtra is the brand's newest machine (it only launched four weeks ago) so this deal is extraordinary. The machine is a larger version of the Joy but not as big as the Explore 3; making it a good entry machine or if space is tight.
