Cricut Cartridge
4 Easy Ways to Find the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials
How can you get your hands on one of Cricut’s most sought-after cartridges, the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials?
It’s easy, if you know the right tricks. Don’t plan on going to a regular store and finding the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials, though, because you won’t find it.
Cricut sold the Accent Essentials cartridge exclusively with the Expression machine, so you won’t find it on store shelves. If you’re not one of the lucky people who purchased the Expression machine, you’ll have to be a little creative in your search for this exclusive cartridge.
1. Have a “Cartridge Swap”. Invite your fellow scrap booking and paper craft friends together. In the invitation, have a list of the “Most Wanted” cartridges. All of the guests will bring their cartridges that they are willing to swap, hopefully using the “Most Wanted” list as a guide. At the swap, you can trade cartridges for a limited period of time, such as 2 weeks. During those two weeks, you can tackle numerous projects and decide for yourself if the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials is a cartridge that you want to have in your permanent collection.
2. Visit an online auction site. Thanks to the Internet, you can get in touch with sellers literally all over the world. Online, you can find people who have the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials but don’t want it and are willing to sell it. If you don’t want to navigate around large auction sites, there’s even a simpler option for you. Visit www.cricutcartridges.net to see an up-to-date listing of Cricut Cartridges listed on eBay. The cartridges, their price, and shipping information is posted for you without you having to do a search on eBay.
3. Check out the local classifieds. Lots of people list items for sale in the newspaper or in online classifieds such as craigslist. If you can find someone locally who is selling the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials, you will even be able to look at the product before you buy it. Classifieds are updated every day, so keep checking back if you don’t find what you’re looking for on the very first try. You can also post in the “Wanted Items” section that you’re looking for the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials. You may be contacted by someone who didn’t think to post their cartridge but is willing to part with it.
4. Visit online scrapbooking forums, message boards, and groups. You can search through posts or create a post of your own. You can bring up the possibility of swapping some of your unused cartridges for the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials, or you can offer to buy someone’s unused copy. If you are willing to purchase a used cartridge, make sure you put that in the post. The likelihood of someone responding to your query is greater since the entire site is dedicated to your target audience.
Whether you’re looking to trade a cartridge for the Cricut Cartridge Accent Essentials or you want to buy it outright, it’s simple to find what you’re looking for, if you know where to look.

Where can I find large rubber stamps?
Rubber Stamp Making Kit Video Instructions
How would you “de-stink” some rubber stamps?
They have to be cleaned. Covering up the cigarette smoke smell won’t work. Use a solution of dishwashing liquid-about a teaspoon of Dawn preferably, a cup of ammonia (any type will work), and 1 gallon of hot tap water-not boiling.
Soak them for about 5 minutes in the solution. Gently take a washcloth or similar soft cleaning cloth and very gently scrub them lightly. Rinse very good under warm/hot water, and lay with the “engraved” side down on a clean towel. This was the solution told to me after a house fire, and it works. (I had lots of heavy soot and smoke damage).
Ranger Ink also makes a great rubber stamp cleanser available at craft stores that sell rubber stamps. It is scented, but not designed for smoke.
