A Sample view appears on the back of each cartridge box and usually
shows a portion of the images that can be cut with the cartridge however Kate's ABC's shows all of the primary images in its Sample. That the artwork on this cartridge is not limited to sugar and spice and everything nice. You can embellish a lot of different
subjects including:
- baby
- garden
- tea
- home
- Easter
- Mother's Day
- Love
- nature
- girlfriends
- shopping
- Get well soon
- Thank you
- invitations
- relaxation
- birthday
- summer
- picnic and more....
This cartridge also includes 26 phrases that coordinate with the letters of the alphabet. I can't think of how you would use those phrases other than in a alphabet book or in a decor project. Fortunately there are additional layered phrases like "BFFs," "Playtime" and "Tea Party". Many of the layers include artwork that is designed to create dimension but many images can also be used on their own. Below are all the phrases that are included on this cartridge with their page numbers.
It used to take me forever to flip through the handbook to find that
perfect phase to use in a card or to title a layout but then I created this phrase
reference sheet which has made the process a lot easier. You can
download a PDF copy of the Kate's ABC's Phrase Reference
Sheet by clicking the link below. If you would like to share this

This is a page out of the handbook. On the left you see what you can make by pressing the red key on the keypad below. You use the various Creative Feature keys to build the final image.
I have added letters to each of the squares to explain how to build the primary image, the phrase and the font(s).
- A - this is the primary image plus a copy of the overlay/ virtual keypad highlighting the key the page references in red.
- B - this is the base of the primary image
. All the other layers will be stacked on top of it so only the bonnet, cats and buggy tires will show through. The example is cut with brown paper but you can use whatever color you would like. For example, cutting B in white would create a white bonnet, cats and tires. Cricut will cut B when you select the red key on the key pad. - C - this is the grass layer
and should be stacked on top of B. Cricut cuts this when you select the red key and shift - D - this layer is cut by selecting the red key and the Layer 1 creative feature button. D cuts the girl's jacket, the bonnet ribbon, the creases on the stroller sun shade and the flowers on the grass and her bonnet.
- E - this layer is cut by selecting the red key, the Layer 1 creative feature button and shift. E cuts the stroller, her jacket pocket and the stroller tire rims.
- F - this layer is cut by selecting the red key and the Layer 2 creative feature button. F cuts the skin of the little girl (face, hands and feet).
- G - this layer is cut by selecting the red key, the Layer 2 creative feature button and shift. G cuts the girl's hair and the cat's collar.
- H - this layer is cut by selecting the red key and the Phrase creative feature button. H is the base layer.
- I - this layer is cut by selecting the red key, the Phrase creative feature button and shift. I is placed on top of H to create dimension and add contrast (you would cut this layer with a different colored paper than H).
- J - this layer is cut by selecting the red key and the Baby Girl Font 1 creative feature button. This is the cartridge font "negative" inside a scalloped square.
- K - this layer is cut by selecting the red key, the Baby Girl Font 1 creative feature button and shift. This is the shadow of cartridge font "negative" inside a scalloped square and goes under J.
- L - this layer is cut by selecting the red key and the Baby Girl Font 2 creative feature button. L is the lower case.
- M - this layer is cut by selecting the red key, the Baby Girl Font 2 creative feature button and shift. M is the upper case.
- N - this layer is cut by selecting the red key and the Baby Girl Font 2 Shadow creative feature button. N is the lower case shadow.
- O - this layer is cut by selecting the red key, the Baby Girl Font 2 Shadow creative feature button and shift. O is the upper case shadow.

There are so many cute cuts on this one. Makes me want to have a little girl! Thanks for another great review.
ReplyDeleteI know! This cartridge is packed with awesome images. I have a little girl but she's more of a tomboy so I can't use this cart very much with her photos. I do use it a lot for cards and I also use the isolated images with other projects.
