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!

P.S. Still haven't decided on "the one"? Check out the links to the right to browse all of the Cricut cartridges!
I just recently got a cricut and went kinda crazy on eBay buying carts for $15 or so a piece. I’m not sure I could pick just one as my favorite. For fonts hands down Storybook. Shapes I use Dress up dolls, celebrations, beyond birthdays and tags, bags and more. I love my new cricut
I love them all!! I go nuts over them and have purchased way too many. I have to work outside the home and can’t wait for my workday to be over so I can spend a little time in my scrap/craft room. I am so far behind on Cricut projects that I want to do and with every new cartridge I fall even farther behind as I have another 100 fantastic ideas of what I want to do with it. I am Cricut Crazy!
As of right now I dont have a favorite.
I recently purchased a cricut expressions and I love it. I have also purchased approx. 30 cartridges. Do you know if there is a master list of what is on each cartridge. My problem is I am not yet familiar with them to know what each contains. It would be nice to be able to search for an item and know right away what cartridge it is on. If there is such a thing can you please email me and let me know where to find it.
Thank You and have a nice day!!!

I don’t have this one yet, but I think “Walk in My Garden” would be GREAT! I’m new to Cricut, and have just begun to play around with it. So, as a beginner, I don’t have much experience. Since I’m 60 years old, and nearing retirement age, I’m collecting things to keep me busy! I have grandchildren, all girls, so I may do some “girly” stuff, too! Thanks for your website and great prices. I will make purchases soon!
I like Animal Kingdom….I have recently been looking for barnyard animals for my son’s birthday party and could not find any until I bought my cricut (a few weeks ago) and found this cartridge. And since we recently took him to the zoo…it has been a win, win cartridge in our house.
I really like the “Everyday Paper Dolls” my grand-kids love that they can make a paper doll the way they want it. I have really enjoyed all my collection though.
i just love Stretch Your Imagination, i had the cricut original for a year before i took it out the box. my mom bought it for herself and (she doesn’t even do paper crafts) she never used it. after i saw an infomercial i fell in love, so i asked if i could borrow it and she gave it to me with four cartridges i was so excited. since then i use it all the time and last year she bought the create and has never used it (maybe i’ll get that one too, LOL) anyway i am new to this whole message scene, so bear with me, but i do love your site, thanks for all the tips and tricks and specials, oh yeah and the chance to win!!!!!!!!!!
Hands down, Graphically Speaking has more options than any other cartridge EVER. I also love Life’s a Beach and the best font truly is Storybook, although Mini Monograms gives you great options with letters in boxes and circles making them easier to attach.
Right now I have three favorite cartridges. (they could change next week) They are Alphalicious, the new seasonal Summer Vacation and the very new Cricut Lite Carousel cartridge. I seem to use the font on Alphalicious over and over again and I love all the summer themed shapes on the Summer Vacation and Carousel cartridges. They have shapes for travel, amusement parks, camping, the circus and lots more.
I would also love a master list or image list of what is on each cartridge. It would make it so easy to find what I am looking for. I’ve have tried searching the internet for one but to no avail. Thanks!!!
I can’t say I have just one favorite I like them all.Which ones do I use the most? Cutt up,Doodletype,Paper Dolls, Everyday Paper Dolls,Christmas,Sportsmania,New Arrival,
Life’s a Beach, I just got Paisley and Cindy Loo and Once apon a princess but haven’t used yet.
I catch myself using DoodleCharms quite a bit for my Girl Scout Troop and their crafts =)
My favorite ones are: PAGODA, GEORGE, PAPER DOLLS, POOH, MICKEY , ALPHALICIOUS AND LIFE IS A BEACH. Some others I have hardly used and there are still some I want. Think I have about 80 but I seem to go to the same ones all the time.

Paper Dolls, Stretch your imagination, from the nest, life’s a beach, pooh font, christmas cheer, cindy loo, create a critter! I love so many of them:)

I LOVE A Child’s Year! I wasn’t sure how I would use it when I got it, but it was so cute I couldn’t resist! I’ve been amazed at the things I’ve been able to do with it! As for alphabets, I would have to say Storybook.
As I school teacher I love Designer Calendar and Paper Dolls. Just started collecting others for school like Printing 101. Oh and just bought Wild Cards which I haven’t used yet. I love them all great for Bulletin Boards and class projects, but use them for gift cards, scrapbooking and other crafts. Haven’t seen one yet that I didn’t want. Had to put myself on a budget only buy two a month. Sometimes that works sometimes not I only have about 25 and have at least 10 on my buy next list.

I just started collecting Cricut cartridges, so my collection is still small. So far I have really enjoyed : Walk in My Garden, Paper Pups, Doodlecharms, and Celebrations.
My favorite font cartridge is Storybook and my favorite shape cartridges are Home Decor, Accent Essentials and Home Accents. I seem to use them more than the others. But I haven’t bought a bad one yet. I have way toooooo many! I just picked up a couple of the Lite cartridges and can’t wait to use them!
I love Sweet treat the best but all my cartridges are awsome
I don’t have very many yet but so far my favorite is Pooh Font. There are so many I want and several are on your list.
My favorite is Paper Doll Dress-up the kids love it cause they can be anyone they want. But we enjoy all the cartridges we have. Right now we are working on lapbooks for the kids to keep them interested in learning while on summer break.
My personal fav is the tags, bags, boxes and more. I’ve made *purses* for my young grand daughters, my daughter-in-law held a purse party and we made small purses for her to put “goodies” in for her guests…it’s a great cart!!!
I’m really loving the new Cricut Lite ‘Fancy Labels’. Just the thing I was wanting from Cricut! And what paper crafter in their right mind would actually commit to one favorite? Not this crazy crafter!
I love them all but my 2 most favorites are hello kitty greetings and font and wild card..but they are all just as good as another..have had my cricut for 2 years next month and I not only use it for myself but do lots of projects for church also.and OMG all the new ones WOW awesome.cindy loo is my next one .
WOW of the 14 listed, I recognize 3 of them. I don’t have a Cricut myself but I do have access to 4. I’ve bought a few carts and my most recent purchase was Teardrop font and Heritage. Can’t wait to use them now!
I really am having fun with Summer in Paris and Indie Art, Summer in Paris has so much you can use that has nothing to do with Paris, and Indie Art will be great for teenage boys–as well as other ages and people. But teenage boys are hard to find things for.
LIFE IS A BEACH!!! Since I live on the Atlantic Ocean, it’s only natural that I use it most, both for scrapbooking and card making. Still looking for SUMMER VACATION to add to my collection.
Definitely Cindy Loo. What a fun cartridge.
I bought the cricut machine when it first came out, and it sat in my closet for about 2 years before I learned how to use it. I took a couple of classes and then went out and bought the Cricut Expression and absolutly LOVE it! I have use it to decorate my classroom, make projects for students to do, scrapbook pages, and etching. My favorite ones are Storybook and Mickey and Friends. I am a Disney fan. I am always looking for new ways to use the machine and scrapbooking.
I own the cricut create and the cricut expression I have 67 cart I LOVE them all but if I had to choose I would have to say storybook ;alphalicious; and old west are my favorite fonts Dress up paperdolls ;life is a beach;and home decor tops the list I can’t let hertiage or graphically speaking slip by either…. I’m just hooked bad thank God for ebay…
It’s hard to pick just one as your favorite. I really like the Walk in My Garden cartridge and Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More. I also use the Celebrations and my Hello Kitty Greetings cartridges a lot to.
I don’t have a a favorite I like so many but don’t have many as i’m out of work so I ask for them for gifts. just so the cricut lite in the store and really like those.
I LOVE my cricut!! I have several cartridges, and I love them all. from my Kitchen is awesome, as I make recipe books for my family and friends, they make great wedding and shower gifts. Walk in my Garden is fabulos too. I have a want list that is very long, can’t wait to try the lite carts!!
i just bought 2 of the carts. lite the wildlife and botanicals. both are pretty good but my favorites are heritage, camp out, from my kitchen,just to name a few. but really like all of them. it’s really not faire to ask us to pick it just not possible. but if i have to those are mine
as of right now that is.
I have so many i adore, but there is 3 I use the most:
-Just because cards
-hello Kitty Greetings and Font
Although with the gyspy, i tend to use a little of everything!
see you at the CHA people
My favorite cartridge is hard to pick, but the ones I probably use the most are Alphalicious and Making the Grade. I also love Plantium Schoolbook, Accent Assentials, Stretch Your Imagination, Storybook, Celebrations, Home Accents & Mickey Font.
Everyday Paper Dolls
CREATE A CRITTER HAS TO BE THE COOLEST CARTRIDGE IF YOU LOVE ANIMALS. P.S. IT IS NOT ON YOUR LIST AT THE RIGHT.
life is a beach ,childs year , cindy loo ,united we stand ,paper pups
I have so many but I really like Heritage.
Love Home Accents, Lyrical Letters, and Heritage.
Sports Mania is the best for any sports page you need to make! I also really enjoy LIfes a Beach.
It is hard to chose! The one that i use the most is the Old West. We live in Texas and my husband comes from a long line of cowboys / horse shoers. Lot of western pictures to scarp. Paper dolls with the girls i baby set, they love to play dolls.
I am suprised that Create a Critter did not make the top! I love love this cartridge! It is so easy to use and no matter what color scheme you use, it comes out soooo cute! Well it was nice to chat what was my favorite, and I too am cricut krazy! I love to come home from work and head into my craft room and start creating cards!
I love Give a Hoot. Simple. Cute. & Easy. and Once Upon a Princess…very sweet.
I only have two cart. at the moment – Lyrical Letters and Alphalicious, but I love them both! Are there any others out there like Lyrical Letters, where you have 6 completely different fonts on the cart.?
My favorite Cricut cartridge is …. wait for it….. Everyday Paper Dolls – love it!!!
I have just got a crycut from my hubend he also got me planlin schoolbook.accent essentials.animal kingdom havent used the animal kingdom yet im a bit stuck on what to do with them as i have only been crafting for a few months
I have waited a long time to get my cricut and now I am a prod owner with only the basics, but soon I will have from my wish list that keeps growing everyday. The first cartridge that I would love to have is “Sweet Treats”, I make my own card and is seems we have a lot of birthdays. I really can’t wait till I get it. How much fun can one person have with all the cartridges available.
My two favs are Hannah Montana ( I’m a musician and it has lots of great music symbols!) and Paper Doll Dress up!
My favorites are Life Is a Beach,create a critter,and animal Kingdom.
