Cricut cartridges EVERYWHERE! How to pick which ones to buy?? Which are the best ones? This is a question I get asked all the time and I thought it would be fun to put together a series of posts about my favorites of the last year, broken down by category. Now, there was no tallying or polling - this is purely my opinion and just for fun! But, it may help you narrow down the choices for you as you roam the crafting aisles and/or websites, looking for that great Cricut cartridge deal!
I am ready to announce the awards for the best Cricut cartridges released this year! There were over a 100 to choose from, so it required some study. I am going to be releasing these by category, showing the winner and the runner ups.
Check out the links below...
The categories are:
1) Most Elegant
2) Best Font Cartridge
3) The Most Cutesy Animal Cartridge
4) Best for the men/boys in your life
5) Best for the girls in your life
6) Best Cartridge for Card Makers
9) Best Cartridge for Moms
10) Best Year Round/All Seasons Cartridge
11) Best ALL AROUND
I will have samples from my winners and runners up for your consideration! I can't wait to see what you guys think of my choices! First two categories will be up this afternoon....so check back!

ReplyDeleteOk it is later. Much later. Still anxiously awaiting the first fav. Can't wait to see if yours are the same of close to mine!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you have for us
ReplyDeleteI value your opinion about the Cricut cart,s to it will be so fun to see which carts you like the most. I also love seeing what you do with the carts, so that will be fun, too.
ReplyDeleteI have also had some holiday meal disasters. Not fun either cause not everybody likes peanut butter and jelly. We have had more problems with very over cooked ham. I will not make a ham for holidays, in fact I only buy ham slices for sandwiches. Yep, you're right, I'm a big chicken.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for your picks for all the great categories of cartridges. You are correct, this is exactly what I've wanted to know. I don't have a lot of extra money for cartridges and would love your input.
I know you said once that Storybook was one of your favorites and that sold me. I do love that one and am tickled you are doing this. You are a pro and we novices value your advice.

Since I haven't bought a new cart in months, I'm anxious to see your choices.
ReplyDeleteAs most of us probably can't afford to purchase all new releases...this should help refine some of the searches to what we may be looking for..thanks for taking the time to give us a breakdown

I think you would pick The most cutesy animal cartridge and maybe best for the girls in your life and if not I can't wait to see what you pick.
ReplyDeleteThank you

ReplyDeleteI have this cart, but haven't used it to its fullest capabilities. I was happy to see what you did. Thanks for the ideas.

Love this segment! My favorite Christmas cartridge is Jolly Holidays - not that I'm tryng to influence your decision lol
ReplyDeleteThanks Joy! I'm new to Cricut and enjoy seeing your reviews by category.

Being new to cricut, I picked a few carts that I thought would be versatile for Xmas. I look forward to seeing if I'm on the right track.
ReplyDeleteSounds great...can't wait to see your pics!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving all the picks.
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of categories. I went through my carts to see if I had one for each category and if I'm choosing what seems to be popular.
ReplyDeleteThis is so helpful, but I must say I hope you include some of my fav's like Storybook, and Doodletype even though they are considered "old".
ReplyDeleteI love your choice of categories. I went through my carts to see if I had one for each category and if I'm choosing what seems to be popular.
ReplyDeleteIt has been such fun to see the cartridge awards. Thank you for taking the time!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Looking forward to seeing you roll out the last 4 categories.
ReplyDeleteWould LOVE to hear your ALL TIME favorites for the categories - not just the 2010 releases. And what would be your pick if you could only ever just use 1 cartridge again.
Can't wait to see what your fav"s are this has been a great year for scrapbookers and cardmakers alike.

ReplyDeleteTHis post has been very useful to me. As a new cricut rookie, I love finding out new tips and tricks. I especially love that you put your favorite carts in a different categories. This helped me to narrow down my wish list and make a great list of carts that will be such a great investment! Thanks! Make more posts like this!

As someone who has only had my cricut for a year, your cartridge explanations have been great. I'm always trying to see which one I should get to expand my new collection. Thanks.
ReplyDeletejarendubois@yahoo.com
I like seeing what you pick for each subject. What I would pick for a teacher would be Locker Talk and Doodlecharms.
ReplyDeleteThese are awsome picks. I have some of these and I love them. The others I would not have thought of as needing in my crafting pocket. TFS
ReplyDeleteI've been catching up on unread posts today. Loved this series. It was fun and pointed out some that I had forgotten about that I'd still like to pick up especially now that some are probably cheaper.
ReplyDeleteDid I miss the link to your choice for number 10-- Best for Teachers?
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your choices and more importantly the explanations and was very anxious to see what this choice was.
