Question on Cricut Cartridges

3lynns · **Question on Cricut Cartridges**

Do all of the cartridges have at least one font? Or are there some that are only shapes and sayings? I thought that they would have at least one but wasn't sure. Thanks!

I honestly can't remember. At first I was thinking that they didn't and then I remembered that the Tags, Bags, one you could cut letters to go on the tags. Aggh! Where is Jess when you need her?

no...there are font carts and shape carts.

but some font carts have some shapes on them like the George cart has basic shapes on it

If you want to see what the carts have on them go to Cricut.com and click on the products tab and then on cricut cartridges. You can look at each one and they will show you the back of the case to see what it has on it. But...not EVERYTHING that you can cut is shown on the case. Like Paper Dolls has a TON of extras on it that you can't see by looking at the case.

Let me know if I can help iwth anything else. Oh...you can download a free sample copy of the cricut software...you can't use it with your cricut but you can play with it to see what it does and on there you can open up each cartridge and see what you can cut and play around with the software.

HTH

Oh very cool! I will have to dowload that just to see. My sister was asking about that and so was dh.

I have looked at most of them but wasn't sure if each had a font or not. THanks for that info. I am so overwhelmed by how many there are!

I am also working on getting sample pages done for all of the cartridges...it is slow going as people have signed up over on the cricut MB to do it and only a few people have completed them so far. Here is the link if you would like to check it out...I really like these especially for carts like paper dolls because you can really see what you can do. I printed it out and put it in page protectors in a binder so I can flip through it.

The paper dolls cheat sheet was very helpful :-) I'll have to see the others.

My problem is that I have lots of shape/character carts and the only font I have is George. Luckily, my friends have the opposite, so I borrow their fonts a lot.

There really is a TON you can do with each cart! It isn't until you get the cricut bug and just HAVE to get all the carts as soon as you see something you love that you get in trouble
