I’ve been having quite the good time exploring Close To My Heart’s new Cricut Cartridge. It’s got a ton of useful shapes and banners, an appealing and useful font, cards, borders, 3D flowers, and quite a few boxes that aren’t available on other cartridges like the French fry box pictured below. Plus it coordinates with stamp sets made by CTMH. The cartridge even comes with three stamp sets and chipboard shapes that coordinate. This partnership has got me thinking about using stamp sets I already own with my Cricut. I've probably done this in the past but this has inspired me to try it some more, also some computer journaling with it as well. Anytime I can use things I already own with my Cricut makes me a happy crafter!
TIP: When using stamps with Cricut shapes, I’ve found it easier to outline the shapes with my Cricut pens, run the cardstock back through the Cricut, cutting the shapes, and then while the shapes are still stuck on the mat, I stamp the appropriate images. Also, the sizes are listed on the stamp sets, but I’ve found I like cutting the images 1/4-inch and even 1/2-inch larger so that I have a bit of a border around the shape.
