So today I connected my Gypsy to my laptop so I could transfer a picture I had made in Photoshop to see what it would look like on the Gypsy. So I opened Cricut Sync and it told me there was a download available for my Gypsy for support content I guess. It was a long download took a few min to download and then at least 10 min to install so whatever was in it was big.
Well, when I was just scrolling through the cartridge list to see if anything new had been added I came across a few I had not seen before, 1 I know for sure is new it’s the cartridge that comes with the 10 DVD Ultimate Creative Cricut set. The one that is supposed to have 6000 images on it. It is big that’s for sure on the left side of the Gypsy screen when you are looking at the content it has 6 buttons, each one is numbered Bonus 1 through Bonus 6 sometimes and other times they just have an image from the overlay, it looks like there is a little bit from every cartridge available currently. It is a huge sampler cartridge.
It appears that all the cartridges listed on the Ultimate Creative site are now on the Gypsy cartridge list. These are some that are the size of seasonal cartridges and are made up of images from current cartridges available. So think of them as mini samplers.
- Spring Fever Holiday
- Spring Fever Seasonal
- Spring Holiday
- Spring Seasonal
- Summer Bliss holiday
- Summer Bliss Seasonal
- Winter is in the Air Holiday
- Winter is in the Air Seasonal
Now I also found 2 more that are not listed on the Ultimate site but may be coming out for the Cricut Cake Mini as samplers.
- Cake Everyday Sampler
- Cake Seasonal Sampler
So like I said these all have images from other current cartridges on them, looks like they will be marketed to new Cricut owners so they can try a little bit of what’s out there.
I know I would like to see some samplers, it would be neat if the new design software Cricut Craft Room online would somehow gather information about what specific cuts are being played with the most and then maybe make some samplers from that data. Just a thought 
I did take a few pictures of the gypsy screen showing the cuts from the newly listed ones but they really aren’t of great quality and since they are just images from other cartridges I figured I wouldn’t post them unless someone requests me to.

Hi there
I was reading your page and I see where you upload a picture to your Gypsy, I know this is a crazy question but why do we do that and what purpose does it serve, it sounds as though there is one of many more functions I can learn, I really would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Well Beth I was where you are on what to use it for at least until recently when I was thinking about some things while using my Gypsy. I always use it out in public and I wish I had the actual booklets on the darn thing because sometimes I want to see what Provocraft meant for the image to ulitimately look like finished, I also like to see what the layers are as well.
So I had been planning on posting about this soon but I am in the process of taking the booklet PDF’s and compressing them down to load on my Gypsy. When I was done I was going to share with everyone.
Now one thing I am working on is quality, I cannot get them small enough and of great quality so the ones I have done so far are small a few Kb each page but they are a little blurry. However I can still get the gist of what I am looking at. That’s to say it works for what I wanted. But I am still working on it.
I think Provocraft intended the photo app to be for sharing photos with friends (like see my baby girl and the like) as well as maybe loading photos of layouts your trying to mimic or inspiration layouts so you can look while designing.

Thank you so very much for your reply, there is always something new to learn, I agree with you about the Ultimate DVD’s I would love to own a couple but not all of them, might be nice if they sold them individually.
Once again thanks
