I got this on black friday - was going to return it, but I'm glad I didn't. It's pretty spiffy.

BEFORE I started on any projects - I made sure to test the cut/size that I wanted is proportionate to what I wanted the layout to look like - and I would test on plain old printer paper. Also the Fit to Page function is helpful in making the envelopes that's the largest possible. I used the fit to page function ONLY for the envelope.

ACTUALLY - First step should be to make the envelope, and then make the card and the components for the card. I did it completely backward and got really miffed that my card was too big to fit inside the envelop.

This cartridge allows for so many possibilities, mixing and matching. It includes a font, cards, card liners, envelopes, envelope liners, frames, sayings, and icons. Works amazingly with my Expression, making the envelopes first, "Fit to Page"--then the cards sized accordingly. This is my favorite cartridge by far.

I ordered this specific cartridge for my wife because I didn't want her spending $90 for it at Michael's. The cartridge is everything she had hoped for. She has about 10 cartridges already (only got the machine last month) and this is by far her favorite.

Provo craft is getting better and better at making content that is more appealing and some cartridges are just packed with more than most carts and this is one of them. There are approximately 20 cards and 10 envelopes with liners to make the envelopes even fancier if you like. There are about 100 different phrases, frames, icons that range from leaves to quote bubbles and there is also an alphabet and a black out feature. you just cant go wrong with this one. It is one of my two favorites so far, the other is Storybook. I am really looking forward to the 4 or 5 new ones that are to be released sometime in March or April, but you never know until you see the booklets exactly what you are getting.

As a side note I thought I did not want this cart when I first looked at the pics on provo crafts site which look like a bunch of cards and that's it. This is why you must get a look at the booklet that comes with the cart as that will show you what you are going to get. Why they don't put more pics on their site?

I am totally thrilled with this cartridge! The possibilities are endless! It's not just card bases and envelopes-- they have phrases, frames, alphabets, etc. and you really CAN create the sample cards shown on the back of the box and more! I have one of the original Cricut machines (the one going up to 6" only), but the cards are of a decent size when using the largest size allowable on this machine. That was my major concern-- would the cards be too small with my machine? I am so satisfied with this cartridge and this will definitely enhance my handmade cards. It gives them a very professional look.

This is SUCH a fun cartridge!! My only complaint would be that in order to do the envelopes, the cards sometimes have to be smaller than I would like to fit on the page. Regardless, I love the designs!!

I purchased this cartridge for my mom for Mother's Day. She's really into scrapbooking, but she seems to enjoy making cards even more and she loves this cartridge. It's her favorite one. I'm happy with this purchase too since I saved a ton of money buying it from Amazon (free shipping too!).

I bought this on Black Friday for $20, and I'm very happy I didn't spend more. I'm limited to the 6x12 mat on the original cricut. This makes most cards too small to be practical. If I don't want to make an envelope to put the card in, I can do a few more sizes, however a lot of the cards are odd shapes, so they won't fit in a standard envelope. If you have a Cricut Expression, I think this cartridge could be pretty cool. But we warned, the book and images don't do a great job explaining how to put the cards together. If you want quick and easy, this isn't for you. If you're creative and can make your own designs, AND have the Cricut Expression, the possibilities seem endless.

I find that I use this cartridge pretty often. It has a ton of useful sayings and a lot of good images. It can be difficult to figure out which size envelope will fit the card. It's easier to make the envelope first, measure it and then make the card. This is a common difficulty with this particular cartridge.
Here are some things I've made with this cartridge:

This is a great cartridge. it's fun to make such different designs for cards. I highly recommend this cartridge to others.
