Provo
Craft has recently made the decision to discontinue production of
physical Cricut® cartridges. CTMH has attempted to secure enough
inventory of the You Are Here collection to last us through the duration of our Annual Inspirations 2017–2018 idea book, but effective immediately, all Cricut® Collections that include a physical cartridge are available while supplies last.
CTMH
has made every effort to preserve this product offering for as long as
possible. CTMH has been aware that eventually physical cartridges would
be phased out in favor of the digital business model, and have been taking steps to make the transition easier. CTMH has introduced digital-only
collections as a way to encourage our customer base to make the switch;
CTMH has also introduced a Cricut® Explore Air 2 hostess bundle as an
incentive for Consultants and customers alike to upgrade their Cricut®
machines. Recently, we even started to include image numbers in our
artwork recipes to make it easier to locate images in Design Space.
Tutorial
videos are in the works that will help our customers learn more about
how to use Design Space and the newer Cricut® machines. We all
understand it can be challenging to learn a new system, but also
recognize the benefits that come from using the newer machines,
including greater control over the creative process and increased
flexibility in working Cricut® shapes into your artwork. Though we are
sorry to see our physical cartridges go, we are excited about the
possibilities available with our digital
collections.
I remember 8-tracks going and cassettes being introduced ~
Then cassettes leave and the CD is the latest greatest...Now Pandora
Etc. SO, as we embrace the new Digital Cartridges, its a whole new world!!!! I am just learning AND Trust Me I am loving it!!!! I know, you may have concerns about not being able to be online all the time. You now are able to work offline with your designs as well. That is a huge improvement! There are a lot of fun things you can create - let me show you how!
