In the Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book, Close to My Heart introduced the Cricut® Artbooking Collection (Z3169).

Cricut® Artbooking Collection with a physical cartridge (Z3169) - this bundle no longer produced

The collection was re-worked for the Annual Inspirations Idea Book and Catalog 2015–2016 to include the Adventure Cardstock Combo Pack (rather than three packages of Dimensional Elements). Other than substituting cardstock for Dimensional Elements, the collection is exactly as before with the same images and stamp sets. A full description was on page 120 of Annual Inspirations 2015-2016.

This was the original configuration of the Cricut® Artbooking Collection as it appeared on page 59 of the Autumn/Winter 2013 Idea Book and Catalog 2014–2015.

Cricut® Artbooking Collection (Z1906) - this bundle no longer produced

When you purchase the Cricut® Artbooking Collection (Z1906) you will receive the cartridge, the overlay (keypad overlays are no longer automatically included with other recent Cricut® cartridge releases), the handbook, three My Acrylix® D-size stamp sets and three different 12" x 9" Dimensional Elements: Framework (Z1900), Snapshots (Z1901) and Signage (Z1902). The Dimensional Elements are also available for individual purchase so when you use what is included, you have the opportunity to purchase additional sheets.

With the release of Artbooking, Close to My Heart created a video series Artbooking Made Easy. CTMH released a new video approximately each week from September 2013 to April 2014 with tips and tricks for using the collection.

This is a complete list of the videos so you have them in one easy to find location.

While I knew I personally would not use all of the tips shared in the videos, I learned new things over the past few months. Fortunately I believe the YouTube videos and Jeanette Lynton's blog posts will remain available indefinitely, so I think this page will give you a [hopefully] easy reference to find all of the videos and posts.
