Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge

I am having fun playing with the Artfully Sent Cricut Cartridge. There are so many different projects on this cartridge! With over 700 cuts which come together to make over 400 projects.

Take a look at this pop up card:



There are 6 different function keys on this cartridge. I used the pop up key.


The size was set at 5 inches for both the card and the liner. The cartridge is set to go together without changing the size. The daisy white cardstock (a pack of which comes with the cartridge) was cut using the pop up function and "env 11" key (page 47 of the cartridge booklet). The liner was cut from glacier paper the same way but with the shift button pressed. One thing that I noticed with this cartridge is that although it does make little tick marks to help you fold properly, it really needs to be scored. Make sure your creases are very crisp especially the pop up portion. 

The card is decorated using snowhaven paper and silver geometric washi tape. The stamp sets are the October stamp of the month and the Best Christmas Stamp set

The second function key is the Scene key. 



I cut this card at 5 1/2 inches. The recommended size listed in the booklet is 7 inches. But you can change the size. I prefer a smaller size card. 5x7 is just too big for me. This one is 5 1/2 by 4 1/4 and it is just perfect. 

To cut this, take a look at page 34 of the booklet. Size is 5 1/2 inches. Press scene then "v" and cut. The wreath is also cut at 5 1/2 inches. Press scene, shift, "v" and cut. 

When you are working with a paper that is two sided on the scene function, the inner part of the card needs to be face up on the cricut mat in order to get the cut on the right side. 

The inside of the card was just hand cut and the flowers were cut from the Artiste cartridge. I loved how the shape matched the paper. 

I used Pathfinding paper to cut this card. The wreath is cut in chocolate and the flowers in glacier. I really love the glacier color and seem to be using it a lot. the stamp set is Casual Expressions, and the ink is chocolate. 

I'll post more about the cartridge later. In the mean time, have some fun with paper.
