Fonts that look like Cricut carts!

Hi Folks, as you know I love my Cricut and I adore all the fonts I can cut using Sure Cuts a Lot software.  {For those of you not in the know you can hook your cricut up to your computer and cut the fonts on your computer with SCAL software} I am a big fan of the doodlebats from Lettering delights and come to find out many of the fonts I have purchased from them (for about $3 a pop) have been turned in to Cricut Cartridges! Here is a Card I made with DB Fruitbowl, looks an awful lot like the new Preserves Cricut cart, don’t ya think?

I made this card and envie in minutes!

Letting Delights has a lot of fonts that look just like the cricut Cartridges, I’d think they were copying except the fonts were out before the cartridges so I suspect Cricut has bought the rights to some of them like the font DB Asian Serenity, that was removed from the site after the Cricut Cart Pagoda came out, Luckily I snagged that as soon as it was available, here are two cards I made with that font cutting out the die cuts with my Cricut and SCAL software:

I cut the panda with my cricut and SCAL software using the font DB Asian Serenity
I cut the branch with DB Asian Serenity from Lettering Delights

Now I do not work for Cricut or Lettering Delights so I cannot confirm that the fonts and cartridges are the same BUT of the cuts look identical to me! Here are some of the look-alikes I found:

Some fonts are exact, others have some of the images but not others. Some carts seem to be made from several fonts.

When I looked at Lettering Delights website today I saw many doodlebats were removed, I bet they are being made in to carts as we speak so if you see some you like grab them before they are gone!

Card made with DB fruitbowl and cricut machine with SCAL software.

Back to the original card, I used the sketch from 2sketches4you. This card also qualifies for the following challenges: AIfactory (punch), Clearly I Stamp (Birthday), Drunken Stampers (birthday), Corrosive Challenges (Die Cuts), MelJen’s (Dry Embossing), Penny’s Challenges (fruit), No Time to Stamp (something sweet),  Wee Memories (Punch-it), and YNS (use a border punch)

whew! That was a lot of challenges! Thanks for stopping by and til next time happy crafting!
