Mother's Day Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With a little Cricut play time, I made a Mother's Day Card. Card is white cardstock and measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Patterned papers are K&Company. I love working with the pretty K&Company paper. I am using Mary's Sketch 3 at CARDZ TV. This is a fun sketch and I like how it turned out. Be sure to check out all the pretty sketches that Mary has shared.

Cricut Cartridges:
Spring Fling - Daisy flower is 3" high. This cartridge features the pen work. I used the Cricut Midnight pen.
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Mother's Day sentiment. Using the insert shape, the sentiment is written on a 3.50" wide x 3.75" rectangle shape. This is used inside the card.

Cuttlebug Kassie's Brocade folder is used on the white mat. I added purple rhinestones on the flowers and the mat.

Sending you love is from Mary's CARDZ TV Encouraging Thoughts stamp set. A perfect sentiment to add to the Mother's Day card. Thanks Mary for the recent win of stamps!

Purple crinkled ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Love the color! Thanks Karen for the pretty ribbons.

Spring Hello

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After a rainy day on Wednesday, today is a gorgeous Spring day. Some of the backwater has receded and my folks were able to return to their home last Saturday. They were with me for 4 weeks....they were ready to get back to their own routine!! No water got in their house---just could not travel the road.
 
I decided to make a Spring card and play along with a few challenges! The card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. Pretty patterned K&Company papers are from the scrap stash. 

Cricut Cartridges:
Kate's ABCs - Girl with umbrella and rabbit is cut 3.25" high.
Walk In My Garden - Daisy is cut 1.25" high. I cut three daisies and added them behind the grass. I trimmed off some of the stems to have varying heights.  
April Showers - Spring Banner is cut 3.26" wide x 1.00" high.
Bits and Pieces - Hello Tag is cut 1.7" wide x .74" high.

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder is used on the white mat. Yellow crinkle ribbon is from Karen at Little Scraps Pieces. Thanks Karen for the pretty ribbons! I added a few pink gemstones for a little added bling. 
 
Challenges:
BBTB2 - Umbrella
Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 263 April Symbols
Double D Challenges - April Showers Bring May Flowers
Little Scrap Pieces - Saturday Linky party
