Last weekend I finally decided to use my Spongrbob cart. My grandson loves Spongrbob so I bought this cart several months ago just for his b-day card. My card didn't turn out to bad, seemed to take forever to make.

I hated every minute of using this cartridge.

What carts have you used that just stressed you out?

Good idea. That was some of my problem with Spongrbob.

either four legged friends. I have trouble figure out what color to cut what layers because the colors they used are horrible!!! I think I am just going to cut out one of each in normal pet colors with notes and put them in a binder so I know.

and any of the disney, sesame street, hello kitty ones. There are so many tiny pieces! Once I get them together they are great but all those little pieces, and if I am making more then one, well forget it I'll figure something else out...lol! I guess I can be lazy sometimes! lol.


bakerchick, thanks for asking this. I'm excited to see what everyone else says too!

The 3D hat from Over the Hill made me cuss like a sailor.

I agree with Spongebob...I used him for my sons Valentine's treat bags and my OMG that was a HUGE mistake. I've cut out the others and they weren't so bad but that Bob made me want to give up a few time...so many small pieces...the Disney carts I agree with too.

OMG the Princesses drove me NUTS! Those tiny little pieces! Ugh! And Pixar ... I did the Monsters cut the other day ... I lost many eyes and many toenails! Never again! I gave up! I had created Wall-E on my G but after the Monsters cut was such a disaster, I didn't even bother cutting it out!

I found this to be a great question. I have had a hard time with Ribbons and Rosettes. I have yet to get my rosettes to fold properly! I have to admit that the Disney carts can give me a run for my money, too – especially with all of the teeny tiny pieces/layers – and that’s on a good day! LOL.

What a great posting! Any of the carts used to make flowers. I am a failure at any of them. The flowers always look like a 4 year old made them. If that wasn't bad enough, now I have Giant Flowers, so I have Giant Failures. Always drool over any posts that have lovely flowers in them. Everyone has beautiful flowers-mine look like blobs.

I never had any issues with the Disney carts until the Pixar Toy Story one. Buzz Lightyear is a nightmare and of course, he is my boys' favorite.

When I made a few road signs with Cars, I was having issues, too. I finally didn't cut them the way they were "suppoed" to be layered and used my Gypsy to alter the cuts and did my own thing. MUCH easier. I think I used about half the paper I would have otherwise with less layers.

I agree about the Disney carts, too many little pieces, but the cards do look lovely after hours of pulling your hair out. Cowgirl is correct about 4 legged friends. Who ever did that cart must have been color blind. I have the worst trouble picking out colors for my cards and I love 4 legged friends but, I go crazy when I want to make something from this cart. A blue dog or cat is unnatural.

I enjoyed reading this thread. I have had trouble with Cars and Tinkerbell but love the outcome.

There are some smaller pieces but they are easy to figure out where they go. if they are too small I've found that the images look just fine without with out them. (unlike with the disney ones where its noticeable something is missing) most of the images don't have a lot of tiny pieces just a lotta layers, I would suggest looking at the handbook and looking at the layers to see how some of the small pieces are formed.

So far mine is still Tinkerbell and Friends. It took DD and I about 4 hours to do Tinkerbell and another fairy. I think they were cut at 3 or 4 inches-way too small, especially those eyes and tiny pieces. I have not used this cart since, but if I do, she will be cut a lot bigger this time!
