Cricut Artiste? To Buy or Not To Buy?



I would love to pose a question all of you fabulous people who read my ramblings.  I haven't a bought a new cartridge in a while and I've recently become very interested in the Cricut Artriste cartridge.  It's fairly expensive, but seems to have a ton of really good cuts.

Have any of you tried it?

Do you feel it's worth the money?

Do you know where I can get a good deal?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments on the matter and/or see pictures of anything you've made using it.  I am also considering Wild Card 2.  (I'm in love with that owl wearing glasses...)

Blessings,
Cheryl

  1. I had the same struggle with the Art Philosophy and I can honestly say it's one of my favorite cartridges. So, knowing that, I went ahead and ordered the Artiste bundle. I hate to say that I have had it over a week and have not had the time to "play" with it yet, but it's true! I have seen lots of awesome projects, so I know once I get some time to "get my craft on" I will make some fun stuff.

  2. I love Wild Card 2 and if you have 5 mins to check out my blog you will see lots of different projects with it as I couldn't leave it alone for long.
    I bought Artiste (which is no easy feat when you live in the UK!)as I am a great fan of boxes and 3d items. I haven't had time to play with it too much yet but know I will get lots of use out of it!
    I generally don't have the 'latest' carts because of availability and cost,but pleased I have these.

  3. I bought the Art Philosophy set and I have used that cartridge more than all of my other carts combined! I just LOVE it! It seemed expensive when I was considering buying it, but the stamps and cart, you will get lots of uses out of it! Have you looked on YouTube to see projects that people make with it? I would say that you would enjoy it since it seems very similar to the AP set. =)

  4. When that cart first came out there was a blog hop showing all the cuts. Here is the blog for one of the ladies who did it.roxybonds-scrappin.blogspot.com/
    I know it made me want to order one. But I am trying to be good and use all the carts I have now. cant wait to see what you make with it! Becky

  5. I have over 80 cartridge and I use the Art Philosophy and Artiste more than I use my others. I could sell my other cartridges and be happy with the those two.

  6. I've gotten both of the carts,Art Philosophy and Artiste. I love both of the cartridges, the variety of cuts is endless,eveytime I cut one thing I find another great cut to use. I think it is well worth the $.
