New Disney Cricut Cartridge

[Stitch]

Calling all Cricut fans!

Provo Craft is releasing a bunch of new cartridges like Wedding, Baseball, Indie Art and others. They are also releasing a Winnie the Pooh one and a Pooh font!

Here is a picture of what the cartridge will have on it. Look for in coming in the next month or so.

Ok, as much as I love my Silhouette, these Disney cartridges give me Cricut envy.

My friend just found a cricut Disney crown here. The woman in the shop was excited because Disney cricut products had just been released in the UK.

Yeah, I saw this about 3 weeks ago on the Cricut boards. I believe it's going to be released in at the beginning of March.

I will defintely be purchasing the Pooh cartridge with all the characters on it, but to be honest I'm not all that excited about the Pooh Font. I can use one of my other fonts and be just as happy and I'm not much of a fan of the "Disney Baby" characters.

Hopefully the next Disney cartridge they plan to release after Pooh will be either a Disney/Pixar one or.... one with characters from movies more suited for boys like Peter Pan! They are long overdue getting us a Tinkerbell!

God, Melissa and I think so much alike it is positively frightening. Excuse me, I need to call my shrink.

Censoring will not allow me to type what I want to call you here!

Are there any Cricut cartridge (or any other programs, for that matter) that can be purchased that has the fancy scroll fonts like the one used for the WDW title ???
PS It was nice chatting with you and the others earlier this week !!!

The only systems out there that will let you cut the Disney font is an electronic die cutter. This requires a computer to operate. Some electronic die cutters are:

Wishblade - SRP: $449.99
Silhouette - SRP: $369.99

Those two are the most popular, but there is also:
Pazzles Creative Cutter
Klic-n-kut
Craft Robo
There may be one or two more, but I am blanking on what they are called at the moment.

All these die cutters work with Windows based computers (though some have issues with Vista). Currently none are designed to work with a MAC (it's a conspiracy I tell you...but that is another thread.) but by installing patches and usually Adobe Illustrator will make it work.

The advantages of the electronic die cutters is you don’t have to buy anything discs or cartridges to get new fonts or images. The die cutters will cut just about any font installed on your computer or found on the internet. It will also cut images…each machine is different on what type of image file it will cut.

The disadvantages are cost for one…these little buggers are not cheap! They are also not the best at portability, since they need a computer to work.

IMHO if you were to invest in a electronic die cutter your best bet is the Silhouette. QuicKutz customer service is awesome and it seems to be the easiest to use.

A much cheaper option to get titles created with the Disney font is to print it out on cardstock and cut it out by hand…it’s a lot more work though.

I hope this helps!

There is a piece of software called Sure Cuts A Lot (SCAL for short) that will cut all your true type fonts out on your cricut. I've done the Walt script and it worked great. Same with the Minnie font. No need to get the Mickey Font cartridge from Provo Craft. Check out Craft Edge: Scrapbook Software to Cut True Type Fonts and Shapes with Cricut for more info.
