Today we are going to take a look at the Cricut Cartridge,
"Just Because Cards" in a different format than my other cartridge overviews. I had a difficult time getting to know this cartridge because the completed card images in the handbook are itty
bitty. I had a hard time envisioning a completed project and since
the phrases are more specific to card captions I did not invest a lot of time playing with it. Now, after doing a boat load of investigating, Just
Because Cards has become a much more exciting cartridge. I hope you will think so too.
This is a long blog entry because I show all of the pages from the handbook and, in all but 2 cases, provide an example of a completed card created by one of the many talented crafters I discovered on the internet. The photos vary in quality, size and angle but I think it is really valuable to show you what you can do with real life examples. Under each photo, I include the artist's name and a link to the source where you can more information including step by step instructions, and many more of their amazing creations!

It took me 3 days (working when the kids were occupied) to locate all of these samples. It was a lot of research but I learned so much. I am really impressed with all of the Cricut focused sites I found during my treasure hunt and encourage you to pop over to see more of their work - it is so inspiring!
With each page you get the following:
- the primary image and all of its layers
- the phrase and its shadow
- a "sticker" which consists of a circle layer and an icon layer
- a stencil which consists of a mat and a negative cut of the phrase (negative meaning an identical sized mat with the phrase cut out so when you stack it on the mat, the phrase is filled with the mat color)
- the cuts for the card and for a mat/ border / accent to layer on the card.
Here is a list of all of the images and phrases on this cartridge with
their page numbers. If you find any errors in the spreadsheet, please
let me
know so I can correct them. If you would like to share this information
on your blog, instead of copy and pasting this info, please paste a
