I was over at a scrapbook forum yesterday and saw a pretty interesting discussion about people's most favorite Cricut cartridges. Here were the top cartridges, based on popularity:
Storybook
Graphically Speaking
Home Décor Solutions
Life is a Beach
Opposites Attract
Stretch Your Imagination
Wild Card
Paper Doll Dress Up
A Childs Year
Pooh Font
Home Accents Solutions
Walk in my Garden
Tags, Bags, Boxes and More
Stamped
There weren't an overwhelming number of people who replied, so I though it would be fun to ask all of my Cricut friends here.
What's YOUR favorite Cricut cartridge (or cartridges)? Just post your comment below...I'd love to hear it!

My favorite Cricut Cartridge is the “Wild Card”! er um.no its the “Plantin” one… hmmm or was it Home Accents? Gosh It might be Calligraphy”. I love them all!!!!!
Doing projects for Elementary School gives me great opportunities to use every one I have.
Plantin School Book
Graphically Speaking
Home Decor
Celebrations
But I’m dying to get A Childs Year
I am looking for the cartridge that has lions tigers & etc. I think it is called Wild Animals
Definately Paper Doll Dress Up and then Wild Card, Stone Script, Tags Bags Boxes and More and George are the ones I use daily.
Favorite Cricut — Sports Mania
My favorite is the Micky Mouse one. They make the best cards. I even send them to adults and they keep them for keep sakes.
I bought the Life is a Beach for all our cruise pictures.
Have a Niece who has a cricut also and we trade cartridges all the time.
One cricut wasn’t enough for the both of us. We both have the 6″ and the 12″.
If they make a 24″, I am sure I will want one of those too.
Also, thank you for your videos. they are very helpful.
A Childs Year
Paper Pups
Walk In My Garden
Stretch Your Imagination
Christmas Cheer
Paperdolls – the dolls are cute, but the possibilities are limitless with the accessories. I’ve done a cowboy party with the cowboy hats as a welcome sign and the boots for decorations on the end of toothpicks. The wedding accessories could almost do an entire scrapbook by themselves. By far – my favorite cartridge.
Shirley, you’re welcome.
Thanks everyone for your replies. Keep them coming!
Sophia
I love them all but my favortie is Paper Doll Dress up and I can’t wait for Everyday Paper Dolls to be released.

Wildcard…..it has so much more to offer than many of the others.
I LOVE “A Child’s Year”! My next favorites are: Lyrical Letters, Walk In My Garden, Doodlecharms, Stand & Salute, Plantin Schoolbook, New Arrival, and and and and…
My favorite cartridges are Graplically Speaking, Animal Kingdom, Keystone, and I’m sure I will love the Beach one if I ever get it.
I love Storybook because it has so many things to offer in one little cartridge! I use it for EVERYTHING; however, I also LOVE Campout. We travel a lot and it seems I use that one a lot for wildlife and such.
I would have to say that Mickey and Friends is my favorite, followed closely by Life is a Beach, Hello Kitty and Animal Kingdom. I’m looking forward to working with the Christmas cartridge next, so it may all change, lol.
I love Zoobaloo: you get lots of animals, backgrounds + cute letters and Paper Doll Dress Up: it has a dragon, dinonsaurs, super hero outfits, my 6 year old son loves this cartridge too! They are both packed full of content and well worth the money!
Walk In My Garden and Campout. I am new at this but loving it so much. I am 83 so it is never to late to learn something new.Hope to get cartridges soon. Thanks
I love the United States cartridge. I use it with my grandchildren to do their reports for school. They get excellent grades in history when they take the extra effort to make their projects look so gooooood!
Life is a Beach!
I love all my cartridges but my favourites are Stretch your imagination, Christmas Cheer and I fiind the shapes and cut outs very useful in Storybook.
What a challenging question because I love them all for different reasons. Topping my list is definately “A Child’s Year.”
i love the stretch your imagination cartiage.
I like the paperdoll cartridge, because Ive loved paperdoll from the time I was big enough to stand up to the window and trace models from the pattern catalog and make clothes from them. I make “Little people” for my sister who teaches kindergarten.
I love all my cartridges I have 29 so far with about 50 more I wand plus the Gyspy. But if I have to choose I think it would be Animal Kingdom,Locker Talk for school projects I have 10 grandchildren so that comes in real handy. Life’s A Beach,and Potpourri Basket.I Love My Cricut and Cartridges.
I’m new at all this, but so far one of favorites is Graphically Speaking (love the Jumbled effect.) Also, Storybook (great design elements), and Potpourri Basket. Am looking forward to getting the New Lyrical Letters and also Christmas Solutions, and on, and on. and on……………….
So far I have 60 cartridges and with each new one i swear it’s my favorite! LOL!
If I have to pick – they would be:
Accent Essentials Storybook Wedding Solutions Animal Kingdom
Life is a Beach Home Decor Solutions Paper Doll Dress Ups
That is until I get another new one.
So far, Storybook is my favorite, Have Wild Card on the way, but it’s been back ordered. Oh, and Tinkerbell has some really cute stuff. I guess I just love them all!
beyond birthdays is my number one then comes teardrop oh oh don’t forget Pooh my daughters loves him soooo much! I haven’t opened wild card yet…
I THINK MY FAVORITE IS STORYBOOK …I MAKE GREETING CARDS ALOT USING ALTERED ART AND THERE ARE GREAT ELEMENTS FOR MY ART WITH THIS CARTRIDGE..LOVE MY CRICUT
I love the Mickey Mouse and Friends cartridge. I love mickey and collect everything that has to do with him, so when I saw that there was a mickey and friends cartridge I knew I had to get it. It was the second best purchase after my cricut that ive ever done. Anything mickey I could ever want I could make with it. It is amazing!!!!!
Well, let me see …..there’s Beyond Birthdays, Blackletter, Zooballoo, Paper Dolls Everyday, and so on. I just sent for Storybook and I know I’ll love that one for cards!
I Love anything that has to do with Christmas.
I’m fairly new to using the cricut but my daughter (10) and I have loads of fun using Tags,Boxes &More for making little purses/boxes to put tiny surprises when she has friends over or is invited for a sleepover. She is crazy about the Pups. I love the holidays so Joys of the Season. I’m waiting for Doodlecharms to go on sale and need advice on which font to get. I have Sans Serif/Plantin but that’s mostly good for her school stuff. I’d love something soft and curvy for scrapbooking. I’m still playing with the Mickey cartridge….love them ALL!!!
We like Life’s a Beach and Walk in My Garden. We had a class about “Garden” at our LSS so are more aware of what we can do. I spent 15 years working in the Pacific Islands so have lots of pictures that benefit from Life’s a Beach. S.
I just got my Cricut this week, so I’m not familar with alot of the cartriges. My favorite so far is Everyday Paper Dolls.
RIGHT NOW MY FAVORITE IS JOY OF SEASON. BUT I LOVE ALL OF THEM.
My favorite right now is STAND AND SALUTE!!!! I’m working on memorial day, 4th of July
and my husbands military days! This cartridge is perfect for this.
Like a lot of the other responses I find it hard to pick just one!!!
Ashlyns Alphabet is high on the list but then again so is:
Storybook, Life is a Beach, Stretch Your Imagination, All the Disney, Home Decor,Walk IN
MY GARDEN, Paper Dolls, Can”t wait for the NEW ONE!!! And Animal Kingdom. I Have around 50 cartridges I can’t wait until THE GYSPY!!!! gets released so that I can have all
of them at my fingertips!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Sophia for all you hard work in keeping us informed!!
my favorit cartridges are camp out, home decor, animal kingdom, i do not have many cartridges yet i just got my cricut aug 25
I just got my Cricut and have the Paper Doll cartridge which I just LOVE!!! I used it with my niece who is 8 and we had a lot of fun. I also have the Disney Font and Speaking of Fall, which I just tried and it’s a keeper!! Looking forward to getting Doodlecharms and another Disney one! Think I’ll have to get a Christmas one too!!!
My absolute favorite one of all is Story Book.I have use that one the most. I have about seventeen cat’s and I still want to get the Everyday Paper Dolls. I just love the lettering in the Storybook cart.I just bought the Cricut Expression 2 weeks ago and I love it. I ketp waiting for them to bring the price down and finally they did so I just had to get it.
Storybook
Animal Kingdom
Stamping
My favorite cartridges are wild card , tags and boxes and child’s year.
Being 63 years old and having my cricut for less than 6 months, I have found that I use Stretch your imagination a lot. I only make cards and do not do any scrapbooking. I just got Wild Card and am having a ball with it. I would like to get my hands on a Potpourri Basket cartridge but I cannot seem to find a distributor who has any in stock. I may have to go with Ebay. There are several who now have machines and it is so exciting to see new ideas that they come up with.
Right now my favorite is Wedding, my friends just got married i was invited, i was the photograher and their corrinador?, now as there gift i will give her a scrap book of her wedding. So my favorite is Wedding, right now but I like Calligraphy the best.
Hmm. I just got my Cricut for my birthday about 2 months ago…..I have not used any of them yet except for Blackletter. Helped my brother with a school project…
I have not been able to do anything personal with it as of yet. Getting ready to move to Hawaii in a month (excited).
I have enjoyed reading everyone’s favorite to know what to look for
As of right now, I have:
Every Day Paper Dolls
Paper Dolls Dress Up (waiting to come in the mail)
Blackletter
Animal Kingdom
Home Decor
Plantin Schoolbook
Accent Essentials
Walk In My Garden
and 2 others that I can’t remember….LOL
I am excited….I have spent so much money within the 2 months on everything..
I also have the 6″ and 12″
Hi Sophia I love A walk in the garden, Storybook, United we stand.
I have only had my cricut for about 4 months now. and got my friend Carol hooked on it, we are having a good time with them.
I would love to have A childs year, but no one in our area has them. I live on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and I have cheched here and in Annapolis Md also. Also Dover Delaware . I don,t want to have to use e-bay. Most stores don,t take orders, they only get what someone else orders for them.
