I saw in the comments on Monday that someone wanted more projects with older cartridges so I thought I would make a fun card using the Cricut Pack Your Bags and Birthday Bash cartridges. The lobster is from Pack Your Bags and the card itself is from Birthday Bash (a great source of cute cards!). They're over a year old (so not super old) but I also used the waves from the Going Places cartridge, which is like 2007 or so.
I've always loved this lobster on the Cricut Pack Your Bags cartridge, but struggled to find a good sentiment to go with him. Enter the
Close to My Heart "Under the Sea" stamp collection ($13.95). Take a look below:
To get the stamp above to work, I had to cut the stamped sentiment away from its lobster. That's ok since I plan to mostly use it in this way.
Again with this wiggle eyes, I know...LOL! But I like how fun he looks this way!

Cute card! Thanks for sharing!
More than one cartridge per project is fine with me. I always enjoy seeing what different cartridges have to offer.
Thank you for using some of the older cartridges. The card is cute and I have birthday bash and have struggled to use it. Going to get that one out and dust it off. Thanks for inspiring me
Really adorable. I love it when you use lot's of carts on a card. I have too many carts...I always feel bad that I don't use them enough...I tend to pull out the same ones all the time. Lee-Ann :)
Cute lobster card! It is appreciated showing ideas with older cartridges!! :-)

I am addicted to google eyes! LOVE using them! I don't so much mind using 2 carts on the same project. I've used up to 3 before mostly for frames, backgrounds and then the focal object.
This such a super cute card :). Love the wiggly eyes! I don't mind when you use more than one cartridge.

I love using lots of carts on a card. Using 2 or more makes it interesting. I also love it when you use 1 on a card. It makes me think out of the box to do a whole card from one cart. I just love all the inspiration ya'll give us. I look forward to the posts everyday.
I don't mind mixing carts at all, especially since I use CDS and have a jukebox.
cute card. i mix carts all the time when scrapping. thanks for using some of the older carts.
Cute card again but you always do cute ones and I am never disappointed when opening this site.
Vute Lobster, I think that's an oxymoron, isn't it? He's really adorable! And mixing carts is the only way to quite often.

Sooo cute! For the most part, I don't mind when you use more than one cartridge for a project. I know I could probably figure something out to make it work if I needed to. Plus, it shows some of the cartridges I don't have and then maybe I'll get one! :) Thanks so much for the ideas!
I don't mind at all when you use more than one cartridge for a project. It just inspires more creativity, which is what paper crafting is about. carjo40@gmail.com

I don't mind you using two cartridges, it gives versatility. Now that I use a gyspy it's even easier to use two cartridges.
And I love the LOBSTER...TFS

I think it's great when more than 2 carts are used. It shows us even greater versatility when you mix and match!
This is so adorable! I love the teal poke a dots base too. I really like when you use more that one cartridge. I feel like I am getting more use out of what I have when I do so I know you are too. I just wish I could get every new one that come out. LOL Thanks for the chance to win this one. It really looks like a very useful cartridge.
When a card brings a smile to your face, you know you have done it right. This card made me smile, first thing this morning. Soooo cute.
This is so cute - and what a fabulous sentiment!! I LOVE it!
I actually prefer it when you use more than one cartridge on a project. It provides more inspiration simply due to the nature of the creativity that's involved by combining images and/or elements.
very cute card. i need to go through my cartridges and use some I haven't touched in wahile. Thanks for the inspiration.
i love new ideas thank you for this one. pms ohio
I don't mind using more than one cartridge for a project...Why not if it does the trick...
What a adorable card, love the colours combo and the sentiment is just perfect.
Very cute and perfect sentiment.
That card is so stinking cute!! Love!!! So creative!!!
Tianna
I like it when more than one cart is used. Shows more of what's available. Really cute card. Thanks.
I think it is a great idea to do projects with older cartridges and more than one cartridge. I always use more than one. They mix and match so great together and if you have the Jukebox, you don't have to keep removing your cartridges if you are using several cuts or change your mind about a cartridge. Great tool!
Use as many as it takes to get it perfect! Your card is adorable!
How adorable! I love the Lobster! I think using more then one cart and showing how you can "mix it all up" is great, keep it up

What a cute card. The colors are so bright and cheerful! I usually don't mind using more than one cartridge. I will then use my jukebox or my gypsy to save having to switch out cartridges.
Cute card, love this cart. TFS.

Very cute. So fitting for Summer!
Thanks for the chance to win!!
I don't mind using more than one cartridge on projects. I don't always have just that one cartridge featured so more than one means there is a better chance I have another cartridge that I can substitute if needed. It's great that you feature older cartridges sometimes too. I sometimes need to be reminded what's on those cartridges.
Love this card....so cute!
I love when you show multiple cartridges used together for a project. I tend to use one at a time and that opens up lots of possibilities for me & makes me think about other combinations!
Thanks for the chance to win. I like using one cartridge.
sdybash@carolina.rr.com
When you demonstrate the use of different cartridges, it helps me to be more creative in using the ones I own. I rarely have the exact cartridge being shown, but the overall concepts are beneficial to my projects. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love when you use more than 1 cart and especially the older carts. I can't keep up with all of the new ones. Thanks for the reminder too about cutting stamps apart!Fun card you made!
I love it when you use two or more cartridges as it helps me justify having so many. If one cart had it all, then it would be a sad world indeed. You use awesome colors. Thanks for sharing!
Really cute, and I love that you used a slightly older cart. I think it's fun and can open up a lot more options when you combine different cartridges!
Good morning! I don't mind at all when you use more than one cart...shows how well they all work together!
Thanks so much for the chance to win. Love being a subscriber...altho you wear me out with all the energy you must have to do this every day!

I don't mind if you use more than 2. I just got my cricut so probably won't have them all, but I like to see different things.
Don't mind at all if you use more than one cartridge. Like it even better if I have all the cartridges used! Thanks for the many wonderful ideas!
So cute.

Love that lobster cut. I thought it was a crab. No I don't mind your using more than one cart. It shows us more cuts we may have missed. Your work is always an inspiration.
DawnRI
Never thought a crab could be so cute. I,too, use google eyes a lot. I think it helps make the character more distintive.

How could you not use the wiggly eyes for him. They look perfect on him! No, I do not mind when you use more than one cartridge on a project. I do it all the time myself. It's what makes the projects what they are!
What a cute card. Love the wiggley eyes. I've never thought about cutting my sentiments away from the image before. I've always just masked them but sometimes it doesn't work so well. Thanks for the suggestion!
Love this card. I love that you are using the older carts. I forget about all the goodies on them.
The card is totally cute. Plus have that cricut cartridge and that stamp set. I love love combining 2 or more cartridges per-project
Another darling card! Using a variety of cartridges is a great way to enhance cards! Love it! Love ideas with 'early' Cricut carts!

Adorable card!!!
Love the lobster, I would love to win. I used 2 different cartridge when I make a graduation cards. I used Accent essentials and recess.
I love your Pinch of Love card. Thank you for making something with an older cart - I, too, would like to see more things made with older cartridges.
Sorry to criticize, but your card has a crab on it, not a lobster. Or am I seeing it incorrectly? Too cute for words though. I'm going to make this one.
Thanks for using an older cart. I do have the Birthday Bash but will have to find a lobster or crab on another one, maybe Create a Critter. So cute.
Bev on Oxford
Thanks for your generosity in giving away the cartridge. What a different card!!
This crab card is adorable, I love the colors and the wiggely eyes. I have many carts and use more than one all the time, so I say go for it!
What a cute card. I love that crab.

I don't mind if there are more than 1 cartridge used, it still inspires creativity. Someone may not like the lobster but go ga-ga for the circle card or vise versa.
What I do mind is that Joy is enabling me to buy more stuff. First it was the Superman Cartridge, now it is this stamp set. Stop it Joy, I'll need to get another job to keep up! LOL! :)
No I dont mind when u use more then 1 cartridge,If I dont have one of the carts,I search for something similiar on a different one!!! This an that looks cool!!
There are so many wonderful ideas and so many uses. I love the colors!
I don't mind if you use more than one. If I don't have a certain Cartridge I can probably find the same cut on another cartridge.
Using more than one cartridge has the advantage of making one re-examine all the features of those cartridges that may have been forgotten!
Cute lobster card.
Valerie in Elkhart
love the color of the card and the scalloped edging.
Super cute card, perfect cut for the sentiment. I definitely don't mind when you use more than one cartridge. I tend to under utilize the images on my carts, so it's great to see projects that show off the little gems I may have overlooked. Thanks for the chance to win!

Don't mind at all when ou use more than one. There is always a way to modify with the ones I have :)
Iit's great that you use more than one cartridge, we need to make good use of all that we have in our collections. It also helps to show how versitile the cartridges are.
