My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 111 - Father's Day/Embossing

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 111 is Father's Day. Our design team member Sandy asked us to create a male card or project that includes some embossing on it. My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" cut from white cardstock. Papers are from The Paper Studio.
Cricut Cartridge is Phrases. I decided to take a simple approach to my male card and used a phrase as the focal point.
Page 25 - Happy Father's Day is cut 3" using Phrase 3 and Phrase 3 Layer/Shadow with 4 colors of paper.
Cuttlebug:
Swiss Dots - Father's
With Love 5 Folder Set - Dot border and with love border
Red brads are from the stash!

Through the Window!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I had a little time to play with my Cricut and this is the results. My dear friend gave me the pretty paper pad quite some time ago and I could not make myself cut it until now! After seeing a couple of challenges, I decided to play along and cut the paper. It has glitter on some areas of the paper..not sure if you can see that in the photo. My card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock and layered with the floral print paper.
Cricut Cartridges:
Christmas/Noel - Window is cut at 5". I layered a piece of vellum behind the window panes for the peeking through look!
Mother's Day Bouquet - Flower 3 is cut at 1.25" and 1" from a piece of the floral background paper.
The pretty crinkle ribbon is blog candy from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Many thanks Karen! 
Lace and pearls are from my stash.

Challenges: 
Papercraft Star - Ch. 146 Beauty. I love flowers and see beauty in each of the pretty blooms!
My Craft Spot - Ch. 98 Ribbon & Twine (Use ribbon or twine somewhere on project)
The Shabby Tea Room - Week. 167 Open Window - Inspiration by colors in the photo and add a window.
