This is a tough category - so many cute animal cartridges to choose from! I'm finding it hard to decide which ones even to narrow it down to, at this point.
Here are the contenders for the category of Best Cutesy Animal Cricut Cartridge of 2010:
Here are the contenders for the category of Best Cutesy Animal Cricut Cartridge of 2010:
1) Give A Hoot: This earth friendly cartridge has some of the cutest woodland animals out there. Not only that, some "green" word art in a funky font completes the cartridge.
2) Create A Critter: Loads of all kinds of animals using one of the easiest layering formats Provocraft has ever put out. Every layer just stacks on top of the previous one - no little bits to contend with!
3) Simply Charmed: This is like a cuter, more updated version of the cartridge Doodlecharms. Sure, lots of the characters have some goofy faces, but they can also be cut without those faces. Many, many cute images.
4) Hoot 'n Holler Lite Cartridge: Owls are all the rage and this cartridge has some of the cutest owls out there and lots of owl-icious layered word art to boot!
5) 3 Birds on Parade: This cartridge has loads of these cute birds, all doing different things - going on trips, celebrating the holidays, etc. Lots of fun word art on this one also! A must have for someone who loves birds.
Let's hear a drum roll, please.....the winner of the Best Cutesy Animal Cricut Cartridge is the......
These little layered animals are just too stinking cute and there are just so many varieties - that's what makes this cartridge my pick for cutest animal cartridge! Complementary phrases and accessories complete each animal. The sheer variety in the animals makes this my hands down winner!
Which is your favorite? Can't wait to hear!

I must say, Create A Critter is my all time favorite cartridge. Not only are they cut but probably the easiest layering too.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your pick here! I think CAC is one of my ALL TIME favorites!!! The animals are so fun and cute :) Love the accessories too!
ReplyDeleteYes, CAC is my favorite too. I have used it a ton!!
ReplyDeleteI sure agree with you on this one. I really didn't want this one but got a great deal and then my first card was so cute that I hooked!

Definitely Create a Critter! And I just got it for Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteYou picked the right one-how can you resist those critters
ReplyDeleteThis is I got Create and Critter and Give a hoot , havent had time to use them. I live their owls and other animals. Caint wait to use it on a birthday card.
ReplyDeleteCAC is still my favorite cartridge..it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteI recently got Create a Critter as a gift and I love it! You're right...the layering is super easy and I love that!
ReplyDeleteI just got Create A Critter for Christmas and I can already tell its going to be my all time favorite cart - so I have to agree! Though I think Simply Charmed will come in a close second - it looks like a cute cart!!
ReplyDeleteI've got to agree with you on this one :) But the Simply Charmed comes in a very close second ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree! I just love CAC, all of the rest are definitely super adorable though:o)
ReplyDeleteTotally Agree. I love my CAC!!!! Never thought of Simply Charmed as a Doodlecharm upgrade. May have to look at it again since I don't have DC.
ReplyDeleteI agree - very cute.
ReplyDeleteSandra
I totally agree w/ you!! This is now my goto cart. I love it because you can make a super cute card very fast.
ReplyDeleteAgain, I don't have either so I would say create a critter or give a hoot but if i had to choose it would be create a critter.
ReplyDeleteHow can you choose just one they are all way to cute!!! Thanks for sharing . I need Create a critter in my Library.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about Create A Critter. There is so many things you can do with this cartridge. None of the others begin to offer what this one does IMO.
ReplyDeleteI have seen so many cute things done with CAC. It is high on my "to buy" list.

I totally agree with your choice! Create a Critter is a definite must have. The cutouts are adorable and easy to layer.

ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this one, Create-a-Critter, because of the simple layering.
ReplyDeleteGloria H
I totally agree! This is one of my favorite all time cartridges :)
ReplyDeletemichelle
I would wholeheartedly agree that Create A Critter is the best animal cartridge because of its variety. A very close second...well almost a tie for first is Hoot 'N Holler. I LOVE OWLS!
ReplyDeleteI agree CAC is one of the best of 2010 and a must have cartridge. I also think Simply Charmed is a close second. Thanks for your take on the best of 2010. It's been fun reading your reviews.
ReplyDeleteCreate a Critter, hands down.
ReplyDeleteThe only one of these that I have is Give a Hoot which I love, but I've seen SO many cute things from Create a Critter that it has moved to the top of my wish list... Love your "Best of" blogs. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou are right - definitely create a critter. Love the cuteness and love the pretty easy layering!
ReplyDeleteI love your pick!I think CAC is the best of the group, and it is one of my favorites of all the carts, as the layering is so quick and easy. Keep up the great choices, Joy! This is fun. BethAnn M.
ReplyDeleteI know this doesn't pertain to this posting but did you announce the winners of the Varsity cartridge? I didn't see a posting for the winners.
ReplyDeleteAnother great choice! I love Create a Critter (don't have it, but love it). Now I have two carts on my "to buy" list from your top 10. happy Wednesday, J
ReplyDeleteI don't have either one of those carts. They are super cute!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree...I just had to get this cart seeing all the cute things you made with it.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving this series you are doing, Joy! I have to agree, Create a Critter is my go-to cart for animals. The easy layering is a plus!
ReplyDeleteI think you are right on the money with your call. I am really enjoying your reviews. Thanks for taking the time to do this, with all your projects, I am sure it is taking a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteWhoa....Yikes....hard decision to make...I have 'em all and love 'em all 2.....Glad you had to make a choice would've been hard 4 me...I just got the face stamps for the Critters from PeachyKeen.com and they are so darn cute..and add that extra touch to all the little critters....You are awesome to take the time to do these awards.

At first I thought Create A Critter - I've had that one the longest - then I remembered how much I love Simply Charmed....then I realized I LOVE 3 Birds on Parade...Yes, you're right! A tough decision. Kudos to Provocraft for these fun carts this year! I love them all!
ReplyDeleteCAC is by far my favorite animal cartridge! I also like Give A Hoot.
ReplyDeleteI agree, all are cute but Create a Critter is the best. Thanks for the brief summary on each.

ReplyDeleteI need that cartridge, I am just beginning so many still to get. I agree though it has very cute animals.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. It is my favourite cart. I use the critters for all my layouts and cards. Maybe I need to get the owl cart. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJan
All the cards & layouts showcase the images well. The animals are so cute from any of these cartridges. I can see how it's hard to choose one. I agree Create A Critter does have really great & adorable images.
ReplyDeleteI just so agree with you. I love the cute little critters in this one and if only provo craft would make all they cuts this simple to deal with life would be good...
ReplyDeleteI love Creat a Critter. Those animals are adorable. It's on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. I think the Create a Critter is stinking cute. Enjoying your picks.
ReplyDeleteHoot n Hollar looks like a really cute one! I have been looking at it for a long time:)

Well I have to agree with you on this one. I have Create a Critter and use it often. I am not a card maker but have actually made a few of them with this cart. My next favorite would be the Simply Charmed. They are both so darn cute.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you enough how much I (and obviously other) appreciate you putting these favorites list together. This is fun checking in everyday to see what the next pics are.
i DON'T HAVE IT BUT WOULD HAVE TO AGREE THIS WOULD BE THE ONE I'D PROBABLY BUY, JUST DON'T DO ALOT WITH THE ANIMALS. LOVE THE CAT ON Y OUR ONE CARD. REALLY ENJOYING YOUR SELECTIONS.
