Don Juan
The Don Juan Cricut Cartridge is one of the most sought after carts and with good reason. Though at first glance it may appear to be just another font set like doodle type. It includes some pretty nifty shapes and words for you to use. Along with under pressure, puzzled, marquee, stitched, shadow, and under pressure shadow creative features.
Instead of the usually choice of upper or lowercase for every letter each is either one or the other. Which can leave you feeling that your finished item will look a bit like a ransom note. Fortunately the lowercase and uppercase letters are the same size and the mixture of the two gives a unique look, while still being pretty cool looking.
If you want a different look you can use the under pressure button to make the letters more boxy and give them a shadow. The shapes available include lips, a house and sun. While the words included are season’s, and, to, you&me, greeting, the, from and &. Along with a few phrases you did it, just because, thinking of you and thanks.
The mixture of upper and lowercase letters can take some getting used to but once you do the Don Juan set will become a firm favourite. As not only can you use it for funky titles there are lots of interesting shapes and the phrases are great for card making.

Don Juan Cricut Cartridge Reviews:
“I Love Love Love this cartridge. I scrap with about 9 other ladies and two of them have gone out to purchase it so they can use it outside of our big group. I do agree some of the letters are a little too funky… but you can usually tell what it is regardless. I had to seek out this cartridge because I didn’t get a create – thanks to websites like this, I was able to find it.”
“I like the it,,it came with my cricut create that I got for Christmas,,and I realy do like it,, I wasnt sure at first because you cant change the fonts to capitalize, but it does make your scrapbook page look fun.Over all i like it”

i love this cartridge
i feel using this cartridge has been very useful and helpful
I got this cartridge with my Create. I didn’t think it would be all that useful, since it came with the machine, and in my experience, those kinds of things are usually not as nice. Well, I have to say that I love the font. It’s very clean and a little funky, since it mixes upper and lower case letters. The only think I don’t like is the letter “L.” It’s weird. If it bothers you like it did me, use the “under pressure” feature to get a more normal looking “L.”
I love Don Juan. At first I didn’t think I would use it much as it came with my cricut create and didn’t expect much but I have gone back and used Don Juan over and over again. The letters are fun and really brighten up my pages.
I absolutely love this cartridge. The font is really cool and I use it a lot, especially on kids pages.
I agree with Carlene, I love the graffiti look to it, with the mixture of upper and lower.
It is really good for male pages, but the “L” is weird. Since it is such a graffiti like font,
I use another “L” from a different font, if it really bothers me
I love this cartridge. It is the first one I got. It is so easy to use. My kids love it too.
I love my Don Juan cartridge. I got it as a bonus with my Gypsy and have already used it a couple of times. I would recommend this cart to anyone who’s lucky enough to get one.
My son and Daughter-in-law gave me the Cricut Create for my Mother’s Day/Birthday this year but I just now used it as I didn’t think it had anything that I would like on it but boy was I wrong (that’s what you think since it came with the machine). The “t” I don’t care for but maybe I have to get to know the machine and I will like it better. I would like a Capital “T”
This cartridge is versatile, but childish.
I like the pre-made greetings, but what annoys me is how you cannot change the caps. Some letters are small and some are permanent capitals.
i like this cartridge it is the first one and only one i have at this point cant wait to get more
I have this cart since it came with my cricut create and I love it but I do have to agree with Randa about not being able to change the caps and I also agree with Linda that the L is a little weird. but I have made some birthday cards with this cart and I do like it.

My new favorite!! hunted, begged, pleaded, finally ‘bought it now’ on e-bay. Well worth it; cards, titles, you name it. I love this cartridge!

As others, the Don Juan came w/ my Cricut Create. I’m new to the Cricut world, but I do like the cartridge. I also wish that it would allow caps for the alpha, but I’ve made do with the “under pressure” feature. This helps with the look when you need caps.
I am not crazy about the cartridge it doesn’t allow you to do much with it. With my creativity I’ll make it work for me!
