Beyond Birthdays" Cricut Cartridge - Good All Year Long!

By Mark Cartis

Cricut cutting machines use cartridges to create the cutouts and Beyond Birthdays is a shape cartridge. Crafters can also use cartridges that have fonts, solutions, licensed and classmates. Cartridges tend to have themes like birthdays or be focused on an event like Mother's Day. However Beyond Birthdays is not like this as the cartridge goes beyond just one theme and covers a large variety of them. This makes it great as a general use all year round cartridge.

Its creator is Cecelia Harris and she has decided upon a great gathering of greetings, symbols, phrases, icons and of course shapes. The manufacturers have also added creativity devices like framed in square or oval, shadow and shadow blackout and card in square and rectangle. This cartridge is perfect if you want to design a gift wrap, make a scrapbook, create a greetings card or cut out personalized invitations.

The following events and special occasions are included on the cartridge, baby showers, birthdays, graduation, weddings, mothers and fathers day, july 4th, valentines and so many more. Greeting cards are a great way to reach out to people and with this Beyond Birthdays cartridge you can create a personal card for any occasion you can think of and say whatever you want, sorry, congratulations or thanks!

There are so many different projects you can take on using the Beyond Birthdays cartridge. For example how about getting a simple and plain calender and using the cartridge to personalise it into a great desktop calender? Each month can have different signs and inspiring words on it and the main picture can relate to a person's birthday that month. Don't have any birthdays that month? How about a family picture or using the theme of your children. The possibility in designs is endless and it would also make a great Christmas gift.

Alternative to it being a desktop calender use it as a reminder board pinned to a cork board or theme it around children's appointments and after school activities.
