Well I haven't really done anything with what I have made...I just always wondered how they made the diecuts look so cute with the different colors...well it is called the layer button! So neat what it can do!

The layer button is on every cartridge...but it is on the side with the shift key...it is one of the Creative Feature keys.
I got alphalicious, sweet treats(layer button), zooballo(layer button), cuttin up, and stretch your imagination(layer button).

Stretch your imagination is a great card cart! I have sweet treats too but haven't played with it.

Well I loved sweet treats when I saw it. But when I got it I was thinking I would never make them as cute as they looked on the box...but you can!!!

Congrats Girl! I really want my own! I occasionally get to play with my aunts, but she only has two carts 
. I was still able to do a lot with just that! I can't even imagine what the possibilty would be with 5! Have FUN

I was looking for a video to show how to use the layer button, but couldn't find one. If anyone finds one, could you post the link?
Thanks!!!

Is this what you all are talking about when saying "layer"?

if you go to the cricut website they have lots of tips and tricks on there. I LOVE my cricut! Also, if you look in the back of the book the cartridge came with it shows you how to use the creative feautres and what it can do. HAVE FUN!!

I get most of my cartridges on eBay at tremendous discounts and only from sellers w/ free shipping. Whenever I do an alphabet, I use the shadow layer to give it some oomph! Aren't they fun to play with?

I love the shadow feature and use it all of the time!!! The thing is you have to be willing to play with them to see what all you can really do. All 5 cartridges I order had free shipping too!
