			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Paper crafting usually starts by learning the basics, and one of the best way to do so is by using a cartridge, called George and the basic shapes.</p>
<p>This cartridge was invented by Cecelia Harris, who has been a devotee of art throughout her life. She has several passions prior to paper crafting, and this include reading books and lettering. In fact, at a young age, she already developed her own lettering designs that became a great influence to her very own Cricut cartridge set. She also loves cooking, sewing, and doing cross-stitch. These hobbies have also been helpful ways to enhance her passion for art. Now, her George and the basic shapes cartridge has been a valuable art tool, especially for beginners who are just starting to love paper crafting.</p>
<p>This cartridge contains the usual shapes and figures, such as triangles, circles, squares, stars, diamonds, and rectangles. It also includes letters of the alphabet, numbers from zero to nine, and one-word designs and phrase patterns, such as “the”, “from”, “to”, “I love you”, and “thinking of you.”</p>
<p>One of the unique features of the George and the basic shapes cartridge is that it includes a charm feature, which enables users to upgrade the design of their craft. There are also other special features, which include the sign, slotted, silhouette, shadow, and shadow blackout, which are perfect for users to give more accents to their work. The sizes of the patterns and designs can be enlarged, depending on the purpose of the project. Users can even combine the patterns to create a single art project, and there are special buttons on the keypad overlay that combine patterns at once. There is no need for manual cutting, because the machine does the job. All the user will have to do is to press button that corresponds to the design and pattern he wishes to apply.</p>
<p>This cartridge has also unique foundation keys that allow users to create several layers in their project. These foundation keys are actually responsible for the solid base or shape of the project. A user can opt for either a square-shape base or an oval-shape base, or combine any of these to make the project more attractive.</p>
<p>The George and the basic shapes cartridge can be used in making greeting cards for birthdays, graduations, Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, and other special holidays. It can also be used in making posters for campaigns, prom announcements, and product advertisement. Other special purposes of this cartridge are invitations, scrap books, banners, door hangers, school projects, and personalized items.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Just a few months ago, I was talking to a teacher friend of mine who had recently bought her own Cricut machine (after my careful prodding). She was telling me about how great and efficient the machine was and how it helped her, not only in her teaching career, but in her personal life as well. Always being good with crafting things, she is an avid scrap-booker and card-maker. She always gives the best cards at Christmas and even won second-prize at a card-making contest last year! Her Cricut machine has saved her a lot of time and effort in the tedious sketching and cutting of different styles, fonts and designs. However, she told me that she wishes that the Cricut makers would come up with a more elegant cartridge that she can use to make bridal and wedding cards for our increasing number of friends who are tying the knot. That’s why I am both pleased and excited to announce another great new cartridge from the creator Cecilia Harris: the Cursive 101 Cricut Cartridge!</p>
<p>The Cursive 101 Cartridge boasts beautiful and classic fonts and features. With its own instruction manual, the creative features include: puzzle, tile, notebook, shadow and shadow blackout designs. This cartridge is perfect for more serious and “grown-up” cards, and other arts and crafts handiworks. With the Cursive 101 Cartridge you’ll now be able to make cards fit for a queen.</p>
<p>Planning a posh, high tea party? Hosting a bridal shower for your best friend? Just feeling oh-so-quaint and Victorian? The Cursive 101 Cartridge is the way to go!</p>
<p>But don’t think that this means this new cartridge is boring. With the special features, you can make almost any kind of card for any occasion. Make puzzle cut-outs for your kindergartener. Or spell the name of your Scrabble-obsessed friend in tiles. You can also use the notebook feature to label your planner or other writing materials. You can even go ultra artistic with the shadow and shadow black out designs, and use them for casual house party invites. For only $89.99, you will be able to make a lifetime worth of cards and other creative crafts for friends, family, and of course, yourself. So what are you waiting for? Get your own cartridge now while supplies last!</p>
<p>As for me, I’m purchasing 2 of them for our next Cursive 101 projects – one for me and one for my teacher friend. I foresee fun, cursive-filled days ahead.<br />
Thanks, Cricut!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Storybook cartridge was designed by Deena Rutter, and its characters are based on storybook-style lettering and are inspired by fairytale images. The shapes on this cartridge are best used for crafting children’s greeting cards, notebooks, reading and alphabet flash cards, bulletin boards, and scrapbooks (which may be made to look like personalized storybooks). Storybook’s shapes can also be utilized in coming up with props for children’s make-believe games or parties. For instance, a princess-themed party is never complete without wands and tiaras, which can be given a fun twist by personalizing each with the initial of each child. Apart from these possible projects, the cartridge’s images may also come in handy when decorating playrooms, daycare centers, and preschool classrooms.</p>
<p>The cartridge includes all the letters of the alphabet, numbers 0 to 9, and the ampersand. Each character comes in different fonts based on lettering styles commonly used in children’s books. Apart from appearing in various fonts, each letter and number also comes with assorted accents, such as icons or graphics, borders, frames, corners, and shadows. These icons include flowers, leaves, butterflies, birds, plants or trees, vines, swirls and curlicues, basic shapes like hearts, and basic symbols such as exclamation points, question marks, and parentheses. Of course, no storybook is ever complete without the requisite images in fairytales, so the cartridge includes illustrations of crowns and mirrors as well as the phrases “Once upon a time,” “Happily ever after,” and “A wish came true.” Other words included are “the,” “and,” “To,” and “From” as well as common phrases, such as “Thank you,” “Birthday Girl, and “Birthday Boy.”</p>
<p>The Storybook cartridge offers the following six features: Tall/Border, Shorty/Holes, Fancy/Corner, Accent/Frame, Shadow, and Accent Blackout. The Tall/Border feature refers to shapes that are drawn to look thin and tall and to accents that may be used as borders. Shorty/Holes enables users to work with shapes that look squat and with the shapes’ corresponding icons that are drawn with holes. The Fancy/Corner feature is for users to work with letters and numbers that are written in a calligraphic style and with shapes that are used as corner accents. For more elaborate fonts, the Accent/Frame is the best feature to use. This feature also gives users the ability to use shapes that are drawn to look like frames. Shadow refers to the boldfaced versions of the Tall/Border lettering style, and if this feature is used with the corresponding icon of a letter or number, the icon’s empty spaces are filled in. Just like Shadow, the Accent/Blackout feature is the boldfaced versions of the Accent/Frame lettering style and frame. Using this feature causes the empty spaces of the frame shapes to be filled in completely.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Disney Pooh and Friends Cricut cartridge is brought to you by Provo Craft and Novelty, Inc., the creators who also came up with the Disney Pooh Font Set Cricut cartridge. Just like the Disney Pooh Font Set cartridge, the shapes on Disney Pooh and Friends can be used for various arts and crafts projects, such as name tags or labels, greeting cards, invitations, calendars, notebooks or journals, bulletin boards, posters, signs, thank you notes, scrapbooks, and personalized storybooks. These shapes can also be used as decorations in children’s rooms, nurseries, classrooms, playrooms, and daycare centers.</p>
<p>The images available on the Disney Pooh and Friends cartridge include well-loved characters, such as Winnie the Pooh himself, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, and Kanga and Roo. Other shapes are images of the different characters’ names; beehives; bees and various other insects; honey pots; books; the moon and stars; the sun; butterfly nets; fences; flowers, trees, plants, and leaves; fruits and vegetables; watering cans; wheelbarrows; clouds; raindrops; lightning; umbrellas; kites; sailboats; signposts; snowflakes; snowman Pooh; balloons; presents; a cake with a candle; basic shapes like squares and circles; pirate caps, witch’s hats, Santa hats, party hats, and top hats; logs; bonnets; and bridges. Minor characters from Winnie the Pooh also make an appearance, such as Lumpy the Elephant and Gopher. Apart from these fun graphics, the Disney Pooh and Friends cartridge offers a bonus of various frame and border shapes.</p>
<p>There are six creative features available on this cartridge, namely Layers: 1 and 2, Layers: 3 and 4, Icon, Icon: Square/Circle, Shadow: Base/Icon, and Blackout. Note that the images included in Disney Pooh and Friends are a bit more complex to work with, which is why there are layering features. To come up with a complete image, users must first click on a base shape then click on the Layers: 1 and 2 feature to fill in the base with the first and second layers. Next, users should enable the Layers: 3 and 4 feature to lay in the third and fourth layers on the base. The Icon feature is for users to work with icons, which are extra accent images that come with each shape. Icon: Square/Circle refers to icon images that are drawn on either a square or circular background. The Shadow: Base/Icon feature refers to the silhouettes of the shapes and icons, while enabling Blackout will cause the empty white spaces in base shapes to be completely filled in.</p>
