Cricut:ZooBalloo

[123SA]

I don't have the cricut...yet. I am going to wait until the new one comes out next month(??) I have been checking out fonts and the ZooBalloo seems cute. Does anyone have it? What do you think?

I have a question about it -- can you cut just the letter without the animal? Or does it all come together?

I have had my Cricut and cartridges for about a month now. I love ALL things Cricut!

I have used the ZooBalloo for the grass, mountain and letters so far. The letters and animals can be printed seperate or together. This is one of my favorite cartidges.

Opps, since I am new with Cricut I should have said I THINK you can print them seperate or together. I know I have printed the letter only. I think it is ALWAYS seperate but you then layer if you want both. Sorry for the confusion.

i have it also, but have never used it. i am new to the cricut thing, but have not had a second to really start playing with it. t-ball and swim are almost over, so then maybe, just maybe i'll get the chance!

You cut your animals and you cut your letters. Seperate. You glue them down together if you want that look.

It is a great cart.

Here is a topper I made using the letters and other features:

Wow -- thanks for posting that topper. I am getting the cricut for my bday. I think I am going to start counting the days. I can't wait!

Feel free to lift away.
I printed the letters out at 1-1/4 inches to fit the 2x8 topper.
It is the tall grass in back then letters than short grass and then the vine with shadow & silhouette.

I love ZooBalloo, I find that I use it a lot. I bought it b/c it was like getting 2 carts in one.

AWM, I *love* that topper! I'm definitely going to have to lift that one.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

It's a great cartridge.
That topper is the very first thing I made with my Cricut.

How do you adhere your letters down? I can't seem to find an easy way. Xyron drives me crazy with the sticky all over my nails and then I use those little glue pens. Any ideas? Sorry for hijacking the thread.


I do want this cartridge.

It's a great cartridge.

2-Way glue pen with fine point and tweezers is what I used.
I'm sure there is a better way, but I don't know it.

 

[SusieStone]

yeah. tweezers would help.

thanks

I love my ZooBalloo. It is definately like getting two carts in one. So many cute things to do with it.

I do like to use my Xyron x for sticking the letters together. I was a bit disappointed when I first used it because of all the sticky. Now, after I pull the strip of "stickers" out of the machine, I trace around them (before removing the clear stuff) with my stylus to help cut down on the stickiness. I pick it up with my fingernails, and feel a little sticky, but not really too bad. After they're stuck down on whatever, I don't feel much stick at all (my first ones without stylus tracing were still sticky). A tweezers would be good. I'll have to try that.

I absolutely love Zooballoo!! Like everyone else has said it is like getting 2 cartridges in one. I think I am going to make an ABC album using this cartridge for DS.

Just my PSA for the day...
