Welcome to Glenda's Cards!
Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone has enjoyed a fun day! I had crafting time and was able to work on a card for some fun Patriotic challenges. I have not had much time to participate in challenges lately and I enjoyed working on this card!
The card is my first triple twisted easel card. Searching on You Tube, I found a video by alissandme who shares great instructions on making this card. The card is made from a 8 1/2" x 11" white cardstock. It is scored and folded down the center at the 4 1/4" mark. For all the details, view the video. Several videos are available on You Tube.
Patterned papers are Recollections and most of the solid papers are from the scrap stash.
Cricut Cartridges: Working in Cricut Craft Room
Independence Day - Looks like I was trying to showcase this cartridge because of the many cuts I used.
Flag- cut 1.75", Firework2 cut at 2.5", Liberty Bell cut 2.75", Banner1 (half-circle) cut 1.5", Banner4 cut 2". Two of these were cut to use as the stops for the side panels. Freedom cut .875".
Wild Card
Page 59 - Star was cut 3.75 from vellum for the middle panel. I did not want to hide all the patterned paper. Red and blue star was cut 1.75". Phrase Celebrate was cut 4.25".
There are no shadow cuts available for the two words that I used so I hand cut a shadow for the words...something I did for scrapbooking before I heard of a Cricut machine!
Cuttlebug:
Star folder was used on the red and blue star.
Other supplies include Pop dots for the Cricut cuts, 3 Girl Jam ribbons, and Versa Magic gingerbread ink.
