Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge Images

Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge Images

As promised here are all 700 of the images on Close to my Heart’s Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge. Did you know that on a 12" x 12" mat on the Cricut Expression, you can cut almost every image in 47 different sizes? That’s almost 33,000 options! (And even more on a 12" x 24" mat.) Can you imagine how much 33,000 punches would cost not to mention the storage space you’d need? Wow! When I figured that out, I realized what a great deal this was!

Check out all of these great shapes including boxes, bags, tags, banners, borders, a font, cards, envelopes, flowers (3-D and flat), and all of the incredible images that coordinate with CTMH stamp sets!

Plus, remember,
when you purchase the Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge, you’ll also receive three exclusive D-size stamp sets and three sets of Dimensional Elements (chipboard) designed to perfectly coordinate with images on the cartridge. That’s a retail value of over $140 for just for $109.95! Stamp on your Cricut shapes, cover your Dimensional Elements with a Cricut shape, or cut, stamp, and then cover!

Plus, when you order a minimum of $55 this month, and get the cute August Stamp of the Month for only $5.50, you will also get a FREE A sized alphabet stamp set called A Typeface.

I can't wait to share all of the amazing new products with you. Of course there are EIGHT new paper collections and new stamp sets, along with lots of wonderful new embellishments, but I must share the biggest news of all.

It has EVERYTHING including boxes, bags, tags, tons of different card shapes, envelopes, banners, a font, flowers (flat and 3D), and TONS of images that coordinate with our stamp sets! Yes, you don't have to cut out those intricate shapes anymore with scissors! Just select the size of the shape that is shown on the stamp set carrier sheet and your Cricut will cut as may as you like. Then just stamp your image directly on the die cut image. Soooooo much faster, simpler, and easier
It is such a great deal too because not only do you get the cartridge, but you also get THREE coordinating stamp sets and THREE sheets of new Dimensional Elements (chipboard) die cuts—all for only $109.95! It is an incredible deal. Plus, as a hostess with a gathering total of at least $300, you could even get the bundle for 1/2 price! Now, that is a steal!
