Today we are going to take a look at the Cricut Cartridge, Florals Embellished. To be honest, I have been procrastinating on covering this cartridge because it has so many images that are difficult to define other than labels like "big flower," "flower with 8 layers," "side profile of flower with stem" which is not very helpful in a "cheat sheet." I knew that in order to really dissect Florals Embellished I was going to have create a visual reference rather than a literal one. I invite you to print out the Image Quick Reference PDF I provide for download to help you navigate all of the beautiful artwork you get with this cartridge.
In this post we will look at:
- the Sample on the back of the cartridge box
- a visual reference of all of the primary images and a PDF download
- a visual reference of all of the phrases and a PDF download
- handbook page information
- a link to the handbook PDF
- the cartridge table of contents with page numbers
This sample is just a sprinkling of the images, phrases and silhouettes included on the cartridge but it does reveal that the phrases are very mother-centric and also gives you a sense of the font they use.
Below is a view of all of the primary images on the cartridge. Each includes a small view of the overlay with the image's button location highlighted in red. I find this detail to be extraordinarily important. I cannot tell you how challenging it can be to discern which button to push when there are similar designs on one cartridge. And when you start cutting layers and using feature keys, the identification process can be even more difficult.

Next, let's take a look at all of the phases on this cartridge. Below you can see all of the phrases in color and already layered which gives you an idea of what they look like completed.
This next view of the phrases is in black and white and the layers are separated allowing you to imagine the phrases using your own color palette.

I
made the flower above using my Imagine. Instead of piecing different
colored paper on my cutting mat, I used a sheet of white cardstock and designated
colors for each layer which Imagine then printed. Below is the handbook page for this flower. Lets take a look:
This image has a total of 7 layers to cut including the shadow. To duplicate this image, that means 7 different colored sheets of paper. The result is a beautifully detailed embellishment. There is also a phrase (as discussed earlier) and a two layered silhouette. Below is an example of the silhouette which I found on the
Created by Honeybee blog. It is just 2 layers and is simplistically elegant.
Here is a link to the
Florals Embellished handbook PDF. Below you will find a "table of contents" for Florals Embellished. It has
every image and phrase you will find on the cartridge along with its
corresponding page number. If you find any errors in the spreadsheet,
please let me
know so I can make corrections. If you would like to share this information
