I was gifted with a barely used Expression with Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. I got a mat for it and several cartridges. I realized last week that the tags on the Plantin Schoolbook will let me type words in them in stenciled letters and allow me to make really neat signs and tags. It even cuts a shadow to fit behind it. Fast and easy and looks great. I had planned to use my dies and make some signs but I suddenly realized what this feature did on that cartridge. I can't figure out if any other cartridges have something like this with a different font and other shapes. Below is a picture so that you can see what I'm looking for. This isn't mine, I found it while trying to see if any other cartridge had the feature. I'm sure in Craft Room it can be done but I'm not going there. My desktop computer is too old and slow and looks like my tablet won't download the program so it will work. Besides, I don't want to deal with Provocraft any more than I have to. If anyone knows of a cartridge that does this with different fonts and shapes, please let me know! There are SO many cartridges and googling just isn't helping. Maybe because only one cartridge HAS this feature...

Thanks but it didn't show stenciled letters or end caps when I tried it. One of the ladies on my other message board found out that Mickey Font did the same thing as Plantin Schoolbook, except it was a dog bone (yes!), ticket and license plate. I was all over that dog bone and love the ticket shape and license plate. It doesn't seem to do stenciled letters but since I'll be sandwiching it with the shadow backing that isn't so bad since I'll have something to glue the insides of the a's, etc. to. I really like those shapes, in fact, I have tons of dog bone dies, several ticket dies and license plate dies so I found an auction on eBay for a new one with free shipping and won it last night. I paid a lot less for the new one that one person had a used one, probably linked, and NO box. And even that was much cheaper than the person that is trying to sell a used one for $39.99, oh and "free shipping". I just loved the end caps tag with stenciled words feature in Plantin Schoolbook. I'm so surprised that there aren't more. I was hoping to find one with script or more girly type letters but I guess they expect you to use Craft Room or Design space. I can't use Design Space, I have an Expression. I'm not going that route, I have an old slow desktop computer. it doesn't seem to work with my tablet and I don't want to be tied to a computer when I'm crafting, seems too much like work! Besides, I'm not going to link my cartridges and then have problems trying to use them in the future.
