CHICAGO–(EMWNews)–The wildly popular furry monsters from Sesame Street will soon be
available to users of Provo Craft’s
Personal Electronic Cutter, thanks to a new partnership with Sesame
Workshop, the non-profit educational organization behind the Sesame
Street show.
The Sesame Street cartridge features everyone’s
favorite characters from Sesame Street that children and adults of all
ages have come to know and love, including Big Bird, Elmo, Cookie
Monster, Bert and Ernie. The classic Sesame Street fonts are also
available on the cartridges, giving Cricut users more than 750 patterns
to choose from. The Cricut will cut
the designs on a variety of materials, from card stock to vellum to
vinyl, at the click of a button.
“Sesame Street has been the gold standard for
nearly 40 years, and its characters are loved by both children and
adults alike,” said Tonia Conger, Provo
Craft’s director of marketing. “We
developed the Sesame Street cartridge to give Cricut users the ability
to bring Elmo and his friends into their homes and to use their
imagination in recreating their favorite scenes.”
The Sesame Street cartridge will be on display at the Craft & Hobby
Association’s annual Summer Convention and
Trade Show in Rosemont, Ill. Also on display are several other new Provo
Craft products, including a Hello Kitty®
cartridge, the new Cricut
Jukebox device and the DesignStudio™
software. Attendees are welcome to stop by and preview the products as
well as meet with walk-around Elmo, who will be making a special
appearance at the booth (#1009) during the show.
Provo Craft also welcomes everyone to stop by their booth and
participate in “Make and Give,”
a program in which guests create free coloring books featuring Sesame
Street characters to be donated to destitute children in Africa through
Tifie Humanitarian.
The Sesame Street cartridge will be available at arts & crafts retailers
nationwide in late October 2008, with a suggested retail price of $99.99.
