Valentine - Ice Cream Shake

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing another Valentine card! The card is cut 5" x 6 1/2" from blue cardstock. Yikes, I actually cut into a 12" x 12" Valentine paper pack. I have been trying to use papers from the scrap stash. When I discovered this Miss Elizabeth's Bryce & Madeline Valentine 12" x 12" paper pack in my stash, I knew it was time to cut it! This was bought at Dollar Tree many years ago. I cut the stripe paper so the birds and hearts could be part of my card.

Cricut Cartridges:
Nifty Fifties - Ice Cream Shake is cut 3" wide. The image has a small star on it, but using the contour feature, I eliminated the star. Image is pop-dotted on the card.
Tie the Knot - Small heart is cut .3" high. I added the heart to the glass.
Valentine's Day - Happy Valentine's Day sentiment is cut 5" wide and is used on inside of card.

Blue crinkle ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.

Valentine - Love you to the Moon

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 I am back with another Valentine card. I enjoy making Valentine cards using pinks! This card measures 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. The pretty patterned K&Company Valentine papers are left over from previous projects. You may remember seeing some of these papers before. 

Cricut Cartridges:
Valentine's Day - Love you to the moon and back is cut 3.25" wide. It is pop-dotted on the card. This is one of my family favorite sayings--just had to include it on a card!
Holiday Cakes- Happy Valentine's Day is cut 3.75". This is the Cricut Valentine sentiment that I use most often. This image is used inside the card.

Crinkled ribbon bow is from Little Scrap Pieces. Thanks Karen--love this pink ribbon!
I hand cut the little hearts out of the paper and added them on the right side.

Valentine's Day Mailbox Scene

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! 

I am back with another Valentine card! This is another one of the Valentine Dimensional Scenes cards that are available in Cricut Design Space. The card can also be made using the Make It Now feature which will make the card size 9" x 6.6". 

Cricut Cartridge:
Dimensional Scenes XOXO
Rather than using the Make It Now feature, I cut the card at 4.75" wide x 6.48" high using similar colors as shown in example. Papers are from the scrap stash. It was hard to find 6 different shades of brown paper but I finally found enough to use!
Holiday Cakes - Happy Valentine's Day is cut 3.50" wide and used on the back of card.

I did not add foam dots between the sides of the card, but the bird and envelopes are pop-dotted.

Card Challenges:
CardzTV -  Ch 1 Valentine's Day Card
DL.ART -  Ch 173 Valentine
FCCB - Ch. 269 Valentine's Day
My Time To Craft -  Ch 314 Love is all around.

Hope you enjoy this card! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Cricut Valentine Dimensional Scene

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I recently noticed the Dimensional scene cards in Cricut Design Space and wanted to try this card. I used the Make It Now feature which gives the colors for each layer. I used colors that are similar to the featured project instructions. I had trouble with several of the colors not being the color that it should have been. For example the face and body were shown using a blue paper. After adjustment with some of the colors, this is my finished card. Foam dots are recommended to give this card the dimensional look, but I chose not to use the foam dots.
Card measures 9" high.

After viewing this card again today in Cricut Design Space, I noticed colors for some of the layers have been changed to a more correct color representation. Hopefully the Make it Now page will work out better now!
