Provocraft knows how to keep us interested. We had to skip the Summer CHA 2008, which mean we totally missed the Cricut Embossing Buzz. Well Cathy Davis was not about to let us leave the convention floor before showing us what it is all about. For all you guys who missed it, check out the great stuff you can do with the Cricut. Not only embossing, but also creating your own stamps. Sigh, we own a Cricut, but we still feel like we need to buy one.

Once you’ve made the decision to purchase a Cricut machine and Cricut cartridges is the right move for you, the next decision is what Cricut cartridges to start with.

Each Cricut cartridge holds and stores die cut information. By inserting a cartridge into the Cricut machine, you can choose from any of the die cuts saved on that cartridge to print out.

When selecting a cartridge, you should consider what types of projects you will be completing. That will help you narrow down your choices as you browse the thousands of available Cricut cartridges. There are dozens of Cricut cartridges available for purchase, and they boast a wide range of themes, fonts and styles.

There are Cricut font cartridges. These vary from the Opposites Attract that features font styles that are long, delicate and bold letters and All Mixed Up to favorite characters including Hannah Montana, Hello Kitty, Sesame Street, Pooh and Mickey Mouse. The Mickey font cartridge includes uppercase and lowercase alphabets, punctuation and symbols and several images and font features including tags, charms, silhouettes, shadows and more.
