Accent Cricut Cartridge - Add That Final Touch

Cricut cutting machines need cartridges in order to create the cutouts they can make. You can choose from font or shape cartridges depending on what project you are working on and your style. As well as telling the machine what shape or font you want you can also tell it a size so work that can be tricky and time consuming takes a matter of seconds if you have one of their machines.

There are many different cartridges and they come in different themes and occasions depending on the project.

The cartridge this article looks at is the Accent Cricut Cartridge Essentials which is a shape one. It has other features as well as the shapes including shadow blackout and shadow which can be used to create layering effects. This is a great feature for this cartridge in particular because it has symbols.

The type of shapes on the cartridge are simple shapes but made into different patterns for example there are many different types of snowflake stars. There are also a lot of swirling shapes that are great for giving projects a final touch. There is no particular theme so shapes are varied and can be used any time of the year. Many of the swirls have designs that are paisley that bring a touch of art nouveau or rococo school of design about them. If you wish to use the swirls along with a font you could layer them over the top of letters perhaps the first letter of a story like a faerie tale book does.

The embellishments are elegant in design and add a lovely feminine touch to projects. Colors that work brilliantly with these shapes are pinks, silvers and golds although color is really an artist’s choice and it depends on what the purpose of the project is and what background colors there are. Crafters find that the shapes lend themselves to a minimalist style and are great to accent photos and highlight pictures rather than using over the top designs that overtake the picture.

This makes Accent Cricut Cartridge a great choice for wedding projects, scrapbooks, albums, invitations and so on.
