ADORE this cartridge. I use this thing for more designs than any other cartridge I own, not that I own that many. It is SO versatile, and this is coming from a mom with two boys and NO girls. I use it for my own scrapbook (kind of a physical journal I’m putting together about me, and the only place I really can use my girlie supplies!) AND for our family scrapbook. There are a few birds, pretty flowers, and awesome borders, accents… I mean, I could go on. I LOVE the versatile shapes, including scalloped circles, ovals, squares, rectangles… There’s a branch with flowers that I absolutely love… I simply don’t have enough time to sit and write all of the things I love about this cartridge!

The alphabet does have a dreamy quality to it, but it also has a decidedly Western feel to it (cut it in brown), which is perfect for accenting pages for my family and my boys, too. It also has a fancy alphabet that is so incredibly beautiful, I use it to accent and label all of my supplies.

All in all, if you’re debating over this cartridge vs. another one, I’d say go for this one, hands down! I think Cricut may have lost themselves some business with this one because, seriously, I don’t even care about buying more cartridges now that I have this one.

I highly recommend this cartridge because it contains so much more than most cartridges do and its almost all good. You get a nice font that can be altered by tall, shorty, fancy, shadow and some peculiar “letters” that don’t make sense to me what they are for on the accent/frame feature and the accent blackout feature. Then you also get a shape that is changed by border, holes, corner, frame, shadow and blackout. The thing is that for the letter B you have a shape that is changeable by what I previously stated but then on the letter C the shape is completely different under each feature. For example you get a butterfly with a trailing scroll for tall/border feature, a side view butterfly with holes for shorty/holes, a butterfly with scrolls shaped into something of a corner, a scalloped square with side view butterfly with in the square for accent/frame feature, a butterfly that is a little bigger and solid for the shadow feature, and a scalloped plain square for the accent blackout feature, but as I said on the letter B it is just straight variation of a leaf. This happens sporadically throughout the set.

Trust me when I say there is a LOT packed into this cart that is very usable for cards, scrapbooks, home decor, stencils, stamps and much more depending on you imagination.

I wish Provo Craft would put up graphics of each of the 50 pages from the booklet that comes with the cart. I think they would sell a lot more carts and consumers would know exactly what they are going to receive for their money!

So far this is among my favorites. Wild Card is another great one especially for card creators!

I have over 30 Cricut cartridges and this is one of my favorites. I love the font and I love the shapes and I use it a lot. I highly recommend this cartridge.
