CTMH
Cricut Collections...What’s the Difference?
For the Cricut
Cartridges...they all are AWESOME!!!! They’re each $79
on MONDAY, instead of $99 and include 3 stamp sets ($60 value) that
match the shapes on the cartridge, plus they give you the size to
cut the shape, allowing you to cut a shape on your cricut then
stamp directly on it to add the detail! Art Philosophy, Artiste and
Artbooking each include 3 sheets of coordinating chipboard shapes that also
match the images on the cartridge, while Artfully Sent includes a 24-pack of
White Daisy card stock to get you started on your card making journey!
These are 4 of the
largest cartridges that Cricut makes...each with 700 different shapes/images
on them!!! Here’s my description of each of these cartridges to
help you see the differences and choose the cartridge that will meet your
crafting needs!
Art Philosophy is for
the all-in-one crafter! It includes overlays, borders, cards,
tags, 3D shapes, boxes, bags, flowers and more!! The 3D items are
single cut in that it only takes the single image cut to quickly and
easily assemble for wonderful 3D gifts and projects!! The shapes
on Art Philosophy are more general in nature. They don’t scream a
specific theme, allowing you to add the paper and/or stamps to create the
theme. All these fabulous features make Art Philosophy great for
scrapbooking, card making and paper crafting in general!
Artiste
is project based...lots of 3-D shapes, mini-albums and layered
pieces! Much more themed with shapes like Cupid, Eiffel Tower,
Skeletons and words like Love, Happy Birthday, Merry Christmas,
etc. With the projects, shapes that go together are
color-coordinated so you know which shapes to cut/assemble. Plus
it comes with an assembly book to help you see where to score, glue and how
to assemble the 3D items, mini-albums, etc. Additionally, the
project-based element has the coordinating shapes linked together so you cut
all the pieces the size you’d like your finished project to be, and they’ll
all be proportionately cut to assemble to that finished project
size! For example, a 3” cupcake box, with base, lid and stabilizer
will all be cut on your Cricut at 3”, then when you assemble the pieces, you’ll
have a 3” cupcake box! This proportional cutting works for all of
the linked projects, mini-albums, cards with envelopes and so much more!
 Artbooking
is all about scrapbooking and mini-albums!! It takes the
proportional cutting to a whole new level, since ALL 700 shapes are linked
together!! What does this mean for you? It means that
if you’re working in a 12x12 album, you can cut ANY of the 700 images at 11”
and it will cut proportionately to your 12x12 layout! To keep it simple,
the Artbooking booklet annotates the 11” suggestion so you don’t have to
remember! What if you’re working in a smaller
size? Simple, just set your Cricut dial to your project size
, and cut all the pieces you need!! If you want a shape a specific size
the use the real dial size and cut it the size you want!
The cartridge has
everything you need for coordinating layouts with overlays, titles, photo
mats, etc and it all cuts proportionally for a 12x12 page!!! With
15 scrapbooking themes, you’ll be able to complete tons of albums in no
time! Each of the themes (Freedom, Friends, Fall, etc) have 28
elements per theme, allowing you to have endless layout
combinations! Additionally, it even gives you an example layout to
show you a great way to put all the pieces together, but with 28 elements,
you’ll have the versatility to mix-n-match and create plenty of completely
different layouts!!
Artbooking
also has 10 mini-album themes, each give you a “recommended” finished
album size then tell you what size to set your dial, you cut all the pieces
and have a complete mini-album to assemble. You can easily adjust
the finished album size by simply changing your Cricut dial and cutting all
the pieces at the same size!
Artfully
Sent is the NEWEST addition to the Close to My Heart Cricut
lineup! This cartridge is designed with the cardmaker in
mind! With 250 different cards, 400 ready-to-go projects and
almost 700 images, this cartridge will have you creating cards for any occasion
with the push of a button, simply choose from pop-ups, scenes, sentiments,
sleeves or pocket cards!
