So, today saw some changes to the Cricut subscription. Not only has the subscription been rebranded as Cricut Access and the yearly cost lowered, a whole lot of fonts have been added!
Many of the fonts are from existing cartridges that until now haven't been part of the subscription. But there are now lots of new fonts added too!
Why Cricut Access? Because when you sign up you immediately have access to Cricut's library of over 30,000 digital images, over 300 fonts and over 1000 Make it Now Projects! And the content is always increasing.
The price of the yearly subscription has been lowered from US$99.00 to US$95.88. That works out at $7.99 per month.
The price of the yearly UK subscription has been lowered to £71.88. (That works out at £5.99 per month.)
US account holders will also get 10% off all purchases at www.cricut.com and in Cricut Design Space. That's on top of any existing sales!!
UK account holders will get 10% off their purchases made within Design Space. At this time this does not apply to purchase made at the UK Cricut site. (http://uk.cricut.com/shopping)
Note: Those that already have an existing years subscription also qualify for the 10% discount!!
And as a subscriber you'll get to access new images, projects, and exclusive designs before anyone else.
You'll notice some changes in Design Space that reflect the changes. (Currently in the desktop version only. The iOS app will show the changes at a later date.)
Any images, cartridges, projects, patterns and fonts that are included in the subscription will be marked with a little "a" icon.
The drop down fonts list has been enlarged so you can see more fonts. Again, if the font is in the subscription it will be marked that way.
The Make it Now projects will also show the little icon if they are part of Cricut Access.
As will the images in the library.
Use the filter to view just the images that are part of Cricut Access.
The cartridges list will also show the Access icon.
Use the filter to select just those cartridges that are part of Cricut Access.
There will be more details coming soon in a FAQ document from Cricut.
In the mean time you can check out this short video by Cricut.
Please note, the list does not show a preview of the font. Just the name of the font.
If you're seeing a price next to the fonts check that you're signed into Design Space. Sign out and back in if necessary. If they still appear with a price check that your subscription is current.
You might want to bookmark that page, as so far I haven't found anywhere on the Cricut website that has a direct link to that page. They sure don't make it easy sometimes!
Not all of the cartridges are listed, so if you want a full list of cartridges (whether they have a handbook or not) you can find my list here: (Please click the "Join this Site" to become a follower if you find the list useful! Then I'll know whether to keep updating it.)
Also new on the Cricut website is a list of all the carts/images that are included in the Cricut Image Library Subscription. Again, it's hidden so here's the link:
I wanted to know which carts weren't included so I went through the list and came up with these carts:
