Happy Birthday

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Always needing birthday cards, I was inspired by the popcorn box challenge at Die Cuttin Divas to incorporate a popcorn box in my project. Tickets or money to buy movie tickets and popcorn seems like a good present that could be easily enclosed with the card for the birthday person.

Card is 5"x 6 1/2" cut from white cardstock. Top layer is a gray embossed paper from Craft Smith Embossed Neutrals pad. Other papers are scraps from other projects.

Cricut Cartridges:
Family Album - Red and white shaped mats are cut 6" wide. Phrase Movie Night is also part of the mats grouping. The border of Stars is cut 6.48" wide using yellow and a gray paper. I ungrouped these images from the rest of the scrapbook page in Cricut Design Space and cut sizes that would fit my card.
Movie Night - Pop Corn box image is cut 1.50" wide. Cinema ticket is cut 1.8" wide.
Picturesque - Swirls in the upper corner and the one under Happy birthday.
Cricut Font and Basic Shapes - Happy Birthday is cut 3" wide. 

Challenge: 
Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 237 National Popcorn month -include popcorn box or inspired by a movie.

Fall/Turkey Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

Today I am sharing another Fall card. Because I enjoy the colors of the Fall season I like to play with pretty patterned Fall papers! Papers are scrap papers from a K & Company pad. Card measures 5" x 6  1/2" from a cream Recollections paper. All images are cut using the Cricut Explore machine.

Cricut Cartridges:
Celebrate with Flourish - Turkey is cut 2.50" wide.
Cricut Font and Basic Shapes - Cream colored square is cut 3" wide.
Designer Calendar - Leaves are each cut 1" wide.
Gypsy Wanderings - Patterned paper open square is cut 3.10" wide.
Splendid Soirees - Lace doily is cut 4.75" wide.
Thanksgiving - Bountiful is cut 3" wide; Harvest Blessings is cut 5" wide--used inside card.

Wow! I used six Cricut cartridges on this one! Cricut Design Space makes it easy to find the images! Although, sometimes it is hard to choose which pretty image I do want to use!!

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots is used on the cream mat. Banner for the Bountiful phrase is hand cut.

Dressed Up Turkey

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Inspired by the current challenge at BBTB2, I began a search in Cricut Design Space for a turkey. I chose to dress this 3D turkey for dinner! Glad to see the blog is back with challenges!

Papers are from Prima The Second Wind. I wanted to use pretty Fall colors to make a fancy bird. I like how this turned out!

Cricut Cartridges: 
Home for the Holidays Fall and Winter -- Turkey is cut 6" wide, 3.35" high. I used a white Gelly Roll pen to add a little detail. Twine and gemstones complete the look. Pop dots are used to separate the two feather pieces.
Create A Critter - Gobble is cut 2" wide, .58" high.

Challenge:
BBTB2 - Turkey
FCCB - Ch.262 Autumn/ Fall
