Cricut owners - How many carts do you have?

[123SA]

Big Bug and 22 carts...I use it 4-5 times per week (at least). Favorites: Paper Dolls, Mickey Font (the only fat letter font right?), Stamped

Wish List: I don't really have one...maybe opposites attract, going places, locker talk. Not sure about the Pooh carts -- we are not big fans of Pooh, but I have a ton of photos from the past two trips. New sports carts, I'll need to see them first.

I just took the 5 carts I got for Christmas out of the box today. I haven't used 50 states, My World or Fab Finds yet.

Ok - I have the 2 Cricuts, big and little, and 9 carts. I am happy with them, so I have no need to get any others right now.... however, if any new ones were to catch my attention.....well, my free days on the ban could be put to good use!

Both bugs and (face turns red) 33 carts. I still want to get Paper Dolls and My Community. Not to mention Design Studio... but first I have to completely re-do my scrapbook room and move a computer in there, since my laptop is a mac and I can't use the software on that.

I can't say which cart I use most... I was sitting here thinking about it and I use them all so much. I would say I use Stamped probably the least and then Speaking of Winter (but only because it's a seasonal font). ALthough I absolutely LOVE Speaking of Winter.

I also have a Sticka that I used b.b. (before bug). It is a vinyl cutter but I always ran paper through it and it's hooked up to my computer. (It works just like a wishblade.) But like the wishblade it is much more time consuming to get your cuts exactly how you want them. I love my bug(s)!

The software is amazing once you get used to it! I've got that, too...it's awesome

Ladies, are my heros! So many carts.

I only have the small cricut and 11 cartridges.

I do want to get Joy of the Season and Stretch Your Imaginations.

BAMB, I just got My Community, I'll bring it next time.

 

[TiggerFamily]

I have both machines and 19 carts and Cricut Design Studio. I have all the carts I want that are out right now, I'm waiting for the 2 Pooh ones to come out. I'm also hoping for a sports one. I have ACM gift cards burning a hole in my pocket waiting for the new carts to come out. I LOVE MY CRICUT.

 

[DisneyIsTerrific]

Well, I want lots of carts, but only have 6 right now. The carts I have are: George, Base Camp, Animal Kingdom, Mickey & Friends, Mickey Font, and PaperDolls. I haven't used the PaperDolls one yet as I just haven't had the time to play with it. I'm hoping to get to it this week though!

I have lots on my wishlist: both princess carts (even though I only have a son), 50 States, Locker Talk, My Community, My World, Going Places, Doodle Charms, Printing Press, and I will definately be getting at least 1 of the Pooh cartridges and maybe the sports one, depends on what sports are on it. My son doesn't do the common sports so finding things for his sports pages are harder.

Now I have to ask..... I've been holding off on buying a Cricut because I decided I'd rather spend the $$ on a Wishblade. Why is the Cricut seeing more use than the Wishblade at your house?? What am I missing?? Please talk to me about this. Maybe I should stop "wishing" for a Wishblade and start planning for a Cricut!

FWIW, it seemed like a better idea to spend more up front on the Wishblade and get almost limitless fonts (with the TTF available on the internet), than to get a less expensive machine up front, but to have to continually spend $$ on new cartridges.

.............................P

For me, it is SO much easier using the cricut to cut something than the wishblade. I've got a nice selections of cricut fonts and actually having access to 1000's of fonts to choose from was much more of a pain than I thought. I would spend forever trying to figure out the perfect font to go with my LO and it was just too time consuming. And since I have 2 little girls running around, a Dh with his own business and so on, my sb time is limited. So I didn't want to spend anymore time than I really had too.

Cutting and welding fonts is actually pretty easy on the WB, but shapes are a different story. It was just impossible for me to figure out how to do that really. Plenty of people do it. But I would rather spend the time it would take me to figure it out and then actually making whatever shape- scrapbooking. That's really what it all came down to for me, would I rather figure out software or craft. And crafting won hands down for me. And the nail in the WB coffin was the Create N Cut software. I think it is just terrible, really. So confusing to work with.

What really made up my mind was figuring out that I used the WB 10 times in 2 years and the cricut 23 times in 9 mos. So that's why I use the cricut more. But if you're more computer literate (not too hard b/c I can basically do is turn it on and surf the net ) and want to spend the time figuring everything out, then it would be a real $$$ saver.

So is the expression not as portable? I figured it was heavier (and bigger obviously) but I thought I could still carry it around when I went to crops.

ETA: I'm so glad I'm a perfectly normal cricut cart collector.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

I see people bring their Big E to crops. They almost all had them on top of a rolling cart. Seemed to fit just fine on it. And then one person carried theirs in.

 

[rileysmommy]

I have the little bug and 12 carts, with one more on the way (the rebate one). I have George, Alphalicious, All Mixed Up, Stamped, Printing Press, Beyond Birthdays, Tags, Bags, Boxes and More, Animal Kingdom, Doodlecharms, Dreams Come True, Happily Ever After and Mickey and Friends. I also have the Design Studio.

On my wishlist is the new Pooh and Friends, Stretch Your Imagination and we'll see what else they are coming out with. I am also thinking about getting the Expression and selling my little bug but haven't completely made up my mind yet.

 

[ariel & eric]

Well,

I have the little bug and only 4 carts. I would like some more of the fonts and the sports carts when they come out. I wish I could find a place to buy the carts with cash so DH won't know about it. If I use the credit card, I'd bbe busted.

 

[happycampers]

Okay, I did finally open up the Expression I picked up when HL had their famous "exclusionless coupon". So, I have those two machines and the Cuttlebug.

As for carts, I have:
Accent Essentials
All Mixed Up
Alphalicious
Animal Kingdom
Base Camp
Christmas Cheer
Doodlecharms
George and Basic Shapes
Mickey and Friends
Mickey Font
Mini Monograms
New Arrival
Opposites Attract
Plantin SchoolBook
Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More
Tear Drop
Walk In My Garden
ZooBalloo
That's 18.
We'll see which two I get when that rebate comes in.
That will make 20.
I've got a couple in the package from Christmas. I can't decide which to keep: My World or Making the Grade. One's going back, so whichever one I keep will make 21. Any advice?

 

[Lisa]

I love My World, use it often. I would recommend that one.

 

[KimAshton]

I have none. Mind you I don;t have Circuit. I want one though but I cannot think about spending the money. If I can find one cheap i might.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

happycampers--I'm no help with the "pick a cartridge" thing! I have Makin' the Grade (DH bought it for me), and I didn't think I'd like it, but I love the font. However, "My World" is on my wish list now, too!

 

[hopemax]

I love My World too. I used the ships for a pirate swap group, a boat for a transportation swap group and I used a pagoda for my Mulan stuff for the character swap. And there are a bunch of things I can use for vacation pages to non-Disney locations.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

So my sweet dear eldest DS says to DH, "guess how many carts Mommy has, give up, you'll never guess - 27 - She has TWENTY-SEVEN carts."
So me, being all defensive stutter, "Well, someone else has 31"
DH says he didn't know it was competition and did I really have to try to win?



Then he starts saying Thirteen Hundred and Fifty, over and over. Yup, that is about how much money I have invested in carts. I did get most of them under $50, but he likes to round up. Yeah, I don't get manmath either.

So, about that cart My World.

 

[bigbabyblues]

I have the regular Cricut and 3 carts-----Mickey Font, George, and Keystone (the one that came FREE with the Cricut from Walmart on Black Friday).

 

[hopemax]

Wait, AWM...didn't your hubby just call and get you some carts? He has no business complaining.

Mine is impressed I haven't bought any since November. I think that means I can get away with buying one soon. Not now though, as I hit Recollections again today; our store had 60/70% off. (it's okay, it's on my allowable list)
