Cricut Cartridges Provide Creative Design Capabilities

By Helena Stone


Design idea possibilities are limitless when people own a Cricut personal cutting machine. The machines are equipped with Cricut cartridges that contain a library of shapes that can be used to create crafts quickly. The size and directional capabilities of phrases allow users to be expressive. Letters can be sized up to 5.5 inches, which offers creative control over all creations.

A wide range of fonts are available with the purchase of multiple cartridges. The modules allow people to be expressive at any moment in time. The machines are capable of using ordinary computer paper to create marvelous designs, but scrapbook enthusiasts love the versatility of this craft machine because it provides options for using card stock, thin plastic sheets, vellum, and vinyl to create projects that are unique one of a kind items that personalize gifts and make gift giving a very personal gesture.

The personal cutting machine capabilities alternate between selections made on six mode options that are loaded on the machine. Users also have four function modes to switch between and a menu selection process makes all selections easy to manipulate. The machine can be operated in any location, and no personal computer is required to produce or print out craft items.

All machines are equipped with cutting mats sized a foot square. The Plantin Schoolbook is a font cartridge that is provided with machines, along with a shape module. Year after year, more modules are added to the products lists so the opportunities for creative ideas are virtually never ending.

It is exciting to learn of new modules as they are released, and users find new cartridge lists under categories such as the Imagine series, seasonal, and Everyday. The categories create a path of design options that increase the number of styles, fonts and shapes each time. Digital images are produced quickly and effectively transfer designs such as flower, borders, and accents.

Many designs offered in previously issued offerings are bundled into new module units to provide the owner of the Cricut with a combined source of images and designs that were identified as favorites in the past, but are no longer available. Some images have not been seen for a while because the original cartridge was retired or were offered for a limited time.

Collecting retired modules is a favorite past time for scrap booking enthusiasts. There are many craftsmen that create sites to share crafting ideas with other owners of this fabulous cutting machine. Completing each list of Cricut cartridges is considered quite an accomplishment among people who use this machine to create crafts each day.
