The Cricut cutting machine is great for cutting out shapes or fonts rather than having to do it by hand. But both types of machines need cartridges and the Beyond Birthdays Cricut cartridge is a shape cartridge. As well as shape and font you can get licensed, solutions and classmate cartridges. Cartridges tend to be themed or focused on a particular event but this one is not. Beyond Birthdays has something for everyone.
On the cartridge are phrases that are inspirational, symbols, greetings, icons and shapes that are great for paper craft projects. It was made for any occasion by Cecila Harris and can be used for a wide variety of projects like gift wrapping, greeting cards, scrapbooking, photo albums, invitations, place settings and more.
This cartridge is great for all year use and for crafters that perhaps cannot afford to buy several individually themed cartridges. There are creative opportunities also from the added features of framed in oval, framed in rectangle, card in square, card in rectangle, shadow blackout and shadow.
There are several special occasions covered by the phrases, symbols and shapes so whatever occasion you need it for it will deliver. Wedding, baby shower, holidays, graduation, birthday, mother’s and father’s day there is something on the cartridge that covers it. If you want to make a Valentine’s card, send an invitation for a July 4th party, say good luck in an exam, say thank you to a friend or just want to connect with someone and say hi, you can do it with the Beyond Birthdays cartridge.
If you are looking for a project to use this cartridge on other than a card, invitation or scrapbook how about a desktop calandar? You can add decoration and phrases to a simple one so that it is personalized or get a plain one and create your own. Use pictures of family, or people who have a birthday that month and embellish it with shapes and icons. Or give yourself an inspirational phrase each month to think about. If the project comes out too good for just a desktop put it on a wall and display it or make one that would work great as a reminder board for the kitchen or office.
