Nowadays, paper crafting has been made easy with tools that were developed by art enthusiasts to aid kids and adults in completing their own art works. One of the latest tools that anyone can employ is by using a stamped cartridge, which can aid in paper cutting and reshaping.

The Stamped Cricut cartridge was developed by Heather Lancaster, an art fanatic. Paper crafting was also one of her hobbies since a little girl and she made her own changes to improve the art. Some of her favorite artworks include scrapbooks, stickers, and paper arts. She admits that she loves to collect different kinds and colors of papers, and her passion over her collection opened new ideas to create her very own cartridge for the world to use in the pursuit of their own art hobbies.

The stamped cartridge includes letters, numbers and some basic symbols. They have their own unique designs, which are regarded as classic but stylish. Over-all, the patterns would simply be viewed as slender and elongated, and are very ideal to use if one wishes to conserve spaces between characters. Letters can either be type in lowercased or uppercased, and there is a shift key in the keypad overlay that allows this kind of feature. The sizes of the characters can also be changed with the use of a real dial size button on the keypad.

Moreover, there are foundation keys that provide basic and solid base for the artwork. With the help of these foundation keys, the user can either opt for a rectangular shape or tag shape base pattern or combinations of these. The foundation key can also be combined with other exceptional features of the stamped cartridge, such as smooth, shadow, shorty, and blackout. These special features give a chance for users and art enthusiasts to enhance their project in an easy manner.

This unique cartridge can be used in a variety of Stamped projects. These include greeting cards for special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries, Father’s day, Mother’s day, and Halloween. Other uses of the stamped cartridge include notebook covers, scrapbooks, personalized picture frames, photo albums, posters, invitations, party banners, and personalized collectible items.

This Cricut Cartridge features foundations keys. This can be used to create a solid version of the shapes in the cartridge. This can be useful for creating thank you cards, or layering shapes to create your own special card. Combine them with the other creative features on this Cricut cartridge, or other Cricut Cartridges for unique gift cards!

The 6 creative features on the Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge are:

1. Layers
2. Phrase / Layers
3. Card
4. Book Cover
5. Shadow
6. Blackout

Blackout is featured on all Cricut cartridges so I will not talk about it here. Shadow is another common creative feature and it creates a solid version of the shapes which is useful for layering. Layers splits the shapes into it’s most basic shapes allowing you to cut each shape in a different color, or texture. This allows a very 3D look to your project and it is easy to do! Phrase / Layers will cut a phrase and the background for that phrase allowing another way to add a layered custom look to your scrapbook.

Card and book cover are similar in that they create a large solid block with a small cutout shape. The holes, however, are located in different spots allowing them to be used in different ways. With Book cover, the holes are located on the left hand side of the card. You can run string or ribbon through the holes and create a neat book scrapbooking project. With Card, the holes are located in the middle of the card which allows it to be folded neatly in two and attached to whatever you wish.
