MyCutSearch Tip

Hi Everybody!
The creator of MyCutSearch has given me ANOTHER great tip to share with you guys. I hope you guys are enjoying these tips, there will be more to come!  Make sure you head over to their Facebook page HERE, and tell them Crazy About Cricut sent you, and what you like about their site!  Here's the tip for today:


I am hoping that all of you that own an Imagine will be VERY happy with the MyCutSearch Tip for today!  Over the long weekend I was able to do some catching up on information for the website, and I now have ALL of the Imagine cartridges that are available up on the site and databased!

Now, I don't own an Imagine, so had to do some thinking when it came to all of those backgrounds and patterns that are included on the cartridges.  How in the world was a going to "categorize" those?  Then I started to think about how I look at paper when I go to start a project.  Sometimes I know I want a specific color or pattern.

So let's pretend you were getting ready to scrapbook a layout of a summer picnic.  Wouldn't a gingham check pattern be nice to use, since it would look like a traditional picnic tablecloth?  So go to MyCutSearch.com and type in

You should get this for your search results



That's right . . . that is a preview of all of the Imagine handbook pages that have a gingham check pattern.

Here is a larger view of one of them.



















Some of the other patterns you can search for are floral, stripe and polka dot.  I hope that all of the Imagine owners like this feature and find it helpful!

MyCutSearch Tip

Here is a quick MyCutSearch Tip
for you.  For those of you that don't know, one talented family
created the website MyCutSearch
to help people find images that are on Cricut cartridges. People have
compared it to a search engine for Cricut images. If you want to learn
more about the Mosch Family and why they created the site, you can read
the whole story here
. If you are looking for an image of a kite,
you can type in the word kite to the search bar and hit search, and MyCutSearch will show you a
preview of all of the Cricut cartridge handbook pages that have a kite
image on them.
Now, if you cannot see the images when they are this small, you can
click on any one of the images to get a larger preview, like this . .
.

Still need it larger?  Click on the LARGE preview, and you will
see that one page even larger.

Now on to the tip . . . what if you type in your search item, like we
did for kite, and when you click on the preview it brings you to a
totally different page of a cartridge that was not on the original
 search results?  What is wrong   is most likely an
internet cookies issue, and you need to delete internet cookies.
 Sometimes the cookies will hold on to a past search for some odd
reason, so by clearing the cookies you are wiping the slate clean so
that you can do your new search.  We have this and other tips on
our page.

I hope that this helped you to learn something new about MyCutSearch, and how you can use it for your papercrafting needs.
