I must confess I don't really use my Cricut that much  . But I was organizing and cleaning up my scraproom and I have about 25 cartridges that take up space. So I decided to put them in a 12x12 Iris case to save some space. But the manuals don't all fit. The few times that I have used my Cricut I haven't used the manuals. So if anyone has unboxed their carts do you keep the manual as well? |

I keep mine. I have 135 carts and keep them in the iris carts made for the Cricut carts. If I sold them, I would need them, but that is about it. Iris containers come in many sizes. Can you buy one a bit larger?

I use my manuals whenever I use a cartridge. They are the quickest way for me to figure out all the images I can get from one key. Sometimes the image I need is a phrase, or found in the accessories, or seen only if I have "shift lock" in play. When I flip through the manual, I find what I want, where it can be found on the cartridge, and then get started.
But I do not have my Cricut Expression attached to my computer, so the only screen I can look at is a very small one on the machine itself.

Thanks for the input ladies I really appreciate it. I think I am ok with getting rid of the manuals and boxes just to save some space.

I have this problem too. One way to cut down on space with the manuals is to rip out all the pages you don't use. All the basic "how to cut" info and anything in another language. It saves a LOT of space. The books get a lot skinnier.
I tossed all my boxes, and I keep my stuff in an Iris box too.

 , that's awesome! I have under 10 cartridges (can't remember exact number) and they fit perfectly in an old dresser drawer with room for more.

Most of them were $9.99 to $14.99, but somewhere along the line I went a little crazy. They had those holiday sales and I remember getting twenty one Christmas. I bought my bug the first weekend they came out. I used a 40% off coupon before they added Cricut to the list of things you couldn't use the coupon for. I feel like if I buy something on sale, I can justify it! |

I got rid of all the boxes but kept the manuals as I refer to them frequently when I'm using a cartridge.

I am a rebel. I got rid of the boxes, manuals & keypads. Once I got the Gypsy & then Cricut Craft Room came out I didn't need those three things anymore. Manuals I can get at Cricut site. Boxes I never used. Keypads I was a little nervous about but I haven't missed them in six years since I got rid of them. I was nearing 100 cartridges then and I was running out of room. The only thing I kept was the cartridges because I have them linked to my account and keep them in case they might get lost in PC's cloud.  |
