Close to My Heart Artiste Cartridge with LARGE stamp set photos- Available August 1

Close to My Heart and Provo Craft have teamed up again to create another fabulous, "gotta have it" cartridge!  This one is called "Artiste" and will be available for purchase HERE.

Check it out below:

Below is a sample handbook page.  What is neat is that each page/key has all matching elements.  So, as below, it's all about clocks.  The next image down shows one of the handbook pages for Halloween.
To see the whole handbook, click HERE, where you can also download it.  What's nice also is that when you get the cartridge, it comes with two handbooks - the regular one AND one that shows how to assemble the 3-D objects (very handy!).

In the package from Close to My Heart, there are also three coordinating stamp sets
There are also coordinating pieces of chipboard that match the stamp shapes in the package.

So, the Artiste cartridge, three stamp sets and chipboard retails for $99 plus tax and shipping and can be purchased HERE.

I've made quite a few projects with this cartridge, which I will be showing here and on Everyday Cricut as the ordering date gets closer.  You are going to love it - I do!  I actually like it better than last year's Close to My Heart cartridge, which although also fabulous, didn't have the holidays spelled out like this one does.  I always love the holidays! Plus I love all the 3-D objects on this one!

Do you like it?  Are you planning to get it?  I'd love to know your thoughts!

    I haven't bought any cartridges in quite some time, but this is definitely one I will buy! Awesome with all the boxes, pocket books, etc. And the cricut does most of the work for you. Wow! Love that you did the whole book so we could see all the cuts. TFS!

    I'm so excited about this cartridge! The best part, (aside from the images), is the assembly handbook. When I bought my Gypsy, TBB&M was pre-loaded. I've had to blunder my way through some of the construction. I really hope I'll be able to add this to my collection!
