This is the hardest category of all. That's why it's taken so long to get this post up. I keep changing my mind as to which is the best. I love each of these so much and have found such fun things on them.
Here are the contenders for the category of Best All Around Cricut Cartridge of 2010:
Here are the contenders for the category of Best All Around Cricut Cartridge of 2010:
1) Celebrate with Flourish: I reach for this cartridge time after time. I love the word art and the swirls. Available only at Walmart and cricut.com.
2) Wrap It Up Cartridge: I like to call this new and improved "Tags, Bags, Boxes and More". It has images, word art, tags, boxes and a shaped card feature. It is packed with goodness.
3) Birthday Bash: This sneaky cartridge looks all cutesy on the outside, but it's shaped card feature ALONE is worth the cost. The cards below were made using this cartridge and you'd never know they came from something called "Birthday Bash".
5) Lacy Labels: A sure fire winner also! Each of these four layered labels are fantastic. What's even better is that you can use them just as labels and leave out the word art. Available only at Walmart and cricut.com.
6) Can I just group all the Martha Stewart Cake cartridges in here (Martha Stewart Elegant Cake Art, Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art, Martha Stewart All Occasions) ? Seriously, any of these cartridges that you pick up is a winner. Just for the border function ALONE makes the cartridges worth it. When a set of punches costs $25 retail for one design, you consider that you have at least 10 border designs on the cartridge, the choice becomes easy. Love her fonts, word art, the whole thing! Remember, all cake cartridges work in ANY machine - so go to it paper crafters!

Birthday Bash!
So many cute images that are versatile for loads of events! As you can see above, I used it to make Christmas Cards! The shaped cards feature alone makes this a worthwhile cartridge!!
