Artbooking, Artistry & You Are Here Physical Cricut Cartridges Still Available!

If you have an Expression or other older Cricut machine that does not use Design Space, you probably know that Cricut no longer makes Cricut cartridges. This means that as the inventory in our warehouse is depleted, you will no longer be able to purchase the physical cartridges. It is getting harder and harder to find cartridges to use in these machines. For that reason, you are when you find a cartridge you want to own, you need to buy it while you can!

***If you have a Maker or Explore, you are in luck – all of our collections, even formerly retired sets – are now available using my affiliate link!***

Good news: You can still get your hands on three of they physical cartridges: Artistry, You Are Here and Artbooking!

Even better news: Remaining cartridges are on clearance at 50% off retail price.

Each of these cartridges is fully loaded with 700 images including at least one complete font. When you buy one of these cartridges, you also get a bonus of three coordinating stamp sets. Let’s take a look at each of these cartridges and the coordinating stamp sets.

Artistry

This
collection includes a trendy “filled” font with upper and lower. Plus it has lots of images including basic shapes, overlays, banners,
titles & more. The included stamp sets include lots of great sentiments that work for both cards and scrapbook pages.

You can see all of the images in this amazing collection by opening the handbook using the link below. I have a few of these in my personal inventory, plus you can still purchase it directly from the Close To My Heart website.

The Artbooking collection is a favorite for Scrapbookers. It includes complete layouts and
mini albums designed to let you select the size once and cut everything proportionally. As you look at the images below, you can see the completed project in the top row with some of the elements shown below. Stamp sets create coordinating embellishments, journaling spots and sentiments.

Happy Camper Layout using You Are Here Cricut Collection

The first time I flipped through the handbook for the new You Are Here Cricut cartridge, I was drawn vintage trailer camper. It was so cute that I couldn’t wait to cut it out. Add to that the “Happy Camper” title and we have a winner!

For this layout, I also used several other images from the cartridge. Thanks to the recent updates in Design Space, it is easy to see what images were used. I pulled up this list by clicking on the project in the My Projects list. If you’d like to use one of these images, the best way to add them to your project is to click Insert Image then type the image number (including the hashtag) into the search bar.

When I started this project, I knew I wanted the camper to be teal and white. So I started with our Lagoon and started playing around with other colors. The color scheme I ended up with was Lagoon, Peacock, Sorbet and Pewter.

Our new two toned cardstock gave me more options while sticking to those colors. For example, I used the actual Lagoon color for the trailer, but used the lighter back side for the awning and trees. In this picture you can also see the difference between the Pewter on the trailer door and tires vs the lighter shade in the title.

Rather than make the layout completely with solid cardstock, I used the Peacock patterned paper from the Enchantment Fundamentalpaper pack. I love how this paper adds some fun detail without introducing new colors to my pages.

I hope you enjoy this layout and are inspired to find time to create too. You need that in your life!

Sweet Memories from our Salt Lake City Convention

Today, I wanted to share with you a special picture that deserved a special layout.

In June, I traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah to the Close To My Heart Convention. I spend four days with some of the most lovely people in the world, many are in the photo above. These are my people, the Scattered Hearts team and our leader, Tina Sutton (holding the white heart in the front row).

In addition to catching up with old friends and meeting new ones, a highlight of convention is playing with all the new products. This layout was one of our projects and it uses papers, embellishments and stamp sets from the new 2017 Annual Inspirations Idea Book. I love how this layout has lots of layers created by a combination of papers, stickers, Cricut-cuts and pearls.

Scattered Hearts Cricut Blog Hop: Beach Vacation Scrapbooking Layout using the new You Are Here Cartridge

Today’s post is brought to you by the Scattered Hearts Team! I’m proud to be a member of this leading team at Close To My Heart. This team is full of amazing artists and I have a real treat for you today: a blog hop of projects made by team members using the Close To My Heart Cricut collections.

If you arrived from Pink Cloud Scrappers with Lori, you are on the right path. My project is this beach layout using images from the You Are Here cartridge and stamp sets.

The hardest part of this project was deciding where to start since this cartridge has 700 images. They are all travel related and I love to travel, but the sand castle really won me over so my first You Are Here page has a beach theme.

If you’d like more information about this project, continue reading. If you are ready to see the another Cricut project, hop on over to Scrappin with Heather to see what she’s made.

Project Details

One of the things I love about this layout is the use of our new two-toned cardstock. The front of each sheet is the original color, but the back side is a slightly lighter shade. I love how it works for the sandcastle — using two different colors in our palette would have made the contrast too bold. But cutting the layers out of the two sides of our new Toffee paper made it just enough to highlight the details.

You can also see the difference two-toned makes in the Lagoon water. Our paper still has a white core which helped me create the waves in the ocean.

This layout also introduces our new Color of the Year, Bashful. This beautiful soft pink is so trendy and was the perfect addition to my beach layout.

We have a full lineup of Bashful items including Cardstock, dye and pigment inks, reinker, glitter paper, albums and even the pearls.Don’t they add so much to the cute beach bag on this layout? You will also see this trendy color pop up in other products through out the year.

The You Are Here cartridge is part of a bundle that includes a paper pack plus three great travel stamp sets that coordinate with the images on the cartridge. This tag was made from a cut on the cartridge and stamped with one of the includes stamps. Toffee paper and ink were used to get the soft tone-on-tone look which was perfect for this layout.
