Cricut scoops 4 awards in the Creative Bloq Awards 2022 crafting category

The beautifully compact and portable Cricut Joy has beaten bigger machines to win the biggest award in CB's crafting category. Significantly smaller than others, it is ideal for making cards, stickers and vinyl transfers – but still allows you to make continuous cuts, too. It's a feat of innovation and a very handy machine to have around. The Cricut Joy makes cutting simple and easy, and our judges love it for that.

And the winner is... Marselis Table Lamp by Hay. A stunningly designed lamp, which is minimalist and oozes cool, this lamp has functionality the judges couldn't ignore. It is capable of tilting and swivelling in different directions to create the perfect direct light source. It's innovative and high-quality, the qualities we look for at the Creative Bloq Awards.

Cricut wins again with the EasyPress 3, the newest iteration in the iron-on range of machines. The introduction of bluetooth capability has blown the judges away, with the ability to control the machine via app making the process even more intuitive and simple to master. It's a brilliantly-designed machine, too, with the perfect functionality to replace the iron you used to use (or the previous EasyPress iteration, of course).

The Cricut Maker 3 wins the award for the best cutting machine. This multi-faceted machine is fast, powerful and can be used with a range of accessories – what more could you ask for? Being able to cut, emboss, draw and engrave at the touch of a button has transformed the crafting process, it has a massive 10 times the force of any other cutter on the marker, so it's no wonder it was picked by our judges.

Brother ScanNCut is a powerful range of machines that can be used without a PC, making this product one of the most innovative craft releases we've seen in recent years.
