All About Ashlyn’s Alphabet Cricut Cartridge

January 7th, 2010

Scrapbookers and cardmakers in search of some whimsy can find it bursting from within Ashlyn’s Alphabet Cricut Cartridge. Featuring four exclusive fonts, its many curls and swirls are sure to find a home amongst your personal collection of paper crafts.

Created by Provo Craft, the makers of the Circuit, this cartridge is a welcome addition and expansion of the machine’s already large library. The main font of the collection is done in a delightfully curly brushstroke style and the cartridge contains two different widths in skinny and bold with an additional setting to create drop shadows. If this wasn’t enough, it also contains two more fonts – another loopy font that leans to the right and a more restrained, but still charming block lettering. Beyond just the fonts as indicated by the name “Ashlyn’s Alphabet Cricut Cartridge,” it also contains a number of icons ranging from delicate vines and flowers to chubby teapots to breathtaking butterflies.

One of the best features about this cartridge is the inclusion of special characters for foreign languages. This is perfect if you would like an international punch to your projects or are making a gift for someone who is bilingual or learning a new language. Expanding upon this idea, the cartridge includes phrases in French, Spanish, German and other languages for easy integration into your designs. A beautifully scripted “Bonjour!” is just as festive if not more so than the standard “Hello.”

Cicuts were made for scrapbookers and this cartridge will help fill out just about any layout. The fanciful fonts would compliment photos of your daughter or granddaughter’s latest tea party or add a charming touch to baby’s first photo album. The butterfly icon would fit beautifully on a birthday card and the teapot would be a welcome addition to many invitations. But there are plenty of other uses for your Circut beyond cards and scrapbooks. For example, if you wanted to make your own personalized gift tags to accompany that adorable card, this cartridge even includes several designs to choose from. Or perhaps you’d like to make a custom banner for your party? Ashlyn’s Alphabet would be just right for that job too.

No matter what paper project you have in mind, you are sure to find a use for Ashlyn’s Alphabet Cricut Cartridge to add the perfect phrase or accent to make it memorable.
