So…some of you may have seen some new Cricut Cartridge Names on your latest Gypsy Update!
If you are like me–you were probably thinking…what? I haven’t heard of these…have I seen them? What are they? Where are they?
(keep in mind, these cartridges are not on there for free use- but just to add to the list of what’s out there)
Here are the list of the new ones that can be found on the Gypsy
- Winter in the Air Seasonal Cartridge
- Winter in the Holiday Cartridge
- Spring Seasonal Cartridge
- Spring Holiday Cartridge
- Summer Bliss Holiday Cartridge
- Summer Bliss Seasonal Cartridge
- Spring Fever Seasonal Cartridge
- Spring Fever Holiday Cartridge
- Ultimate Creative Series Cartridge (with 6 overlays)
Upon further investigation, I noticed all of these cartridges, although titled with new names–were Compilations of already released cuts from other cartridges. Think Cricut Sampler- 🙂
Well– this rang a very loud bell for me–because I remembered seeing this Ultimate Creative Series cartridge compilation on a website– http://www.4cricutdvd.com/
This site, seems to be owned by ProvoCraft, and airs this special somewhere on tv…??
Here are the details:

My thoughts?
I think it would be a great way to get started in the Cricut World–when I very first started, I LOVED my Cricut Sampler Cartridge, because it had a little bit of several great cartridges. Since, then I have become crazy- and purchased all of those cartridges 😉
But…still it is a good deal for a beginner. For those of you who own tons of cartridges, it is probably not the best choice for you- b/c you probably already own the cuts.
If you own the Cricut machine–and are just interested in these compilations cartridges–they are for sale also- except for the Ultimate one…..for $59 a piece of 2 for $99. I personally think that’s a little steep for a cartridge- but then again, I bought most of the cartridges that are compiled onto those for $13-$15 a piece.
But, again, you can split the cartridge cost into 2 payments.

Wow – that is a really cool package and pretty reasonable for all that you get. As you said, if you are already a cricut user, this may not be for you but if you are new to the cricut, it would be great to have.
You seem to get great prices on cartridges, what are your top favorite sites to buy from? PC’s price of $59 is crazy, no one should buy carts for that price.
When I started collecting carts about 4 mos. ago, I shopped the internet and
purchased some from Custom Cropd and have since been ordering from Papercrafting
Pro who have the best prices I’ve found so far. I have acquired around 30
and have been very satisfied with their service. Hope this helps.
I also find that http://www.cricutmachine.com is a great place to purchase carts really really inexpensive.
Thank you for all of that info. I had been wondering about those cartridges. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain it!!
I thank you so much for the info..I looked at the cuts and found some images that i really would want, BUT not at that price, lol….
I have been looking for the ultimate creative series, and have not been able to find it on tv anymore, do you know how I can get it? I really would like to have the series, if you know of who might have an extra one or selling there’s please let me know
eBay!
The Ultimate Creative Series cart just recently became available on cricut.com (you can find it elsewhere on ebay too). Right now until Nov. 27, it’s an amazing $40 (that’s cheaper than you can find on ebay or anywhere else).
I bought the ultimate sampler cartridge on eBay. I paid thirty eight for it. Most I’ve paid for any cartridge. Before that the most I paid for a cartridge was fifteen. All cartridges received brand new. Love my cricut.
