My Sheri's Crafts - Ch. 195 Winter

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Sue is hostess of  Challenge 195 - Winter. She asks that we create a project that has anything to do with Winter: Christmas, snow, hot chocolate, etc. 

Some time back, I was lucky to win a SVG certificate from FCCB sponsored by The Dreaming Tree. So many pretty SVG files are available on the site and it took me awhile to choose. I chose the lovely Christmas Bendi Cards SVG bundle. As it was a Christmas selection, I am just now playing with the file. This is also my first try with a Bendi card. I love the image and how great it all went together. I used black for the Santa sleigh against the snowflake background paper that I had chosen. I used sizes as given in the instructions. I am really pleased with the results! Many thanks to FCCB and The Dreaming Tree

Decorated Christmas Plate

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After seeing the pretty intricate images from a recently added cartridge in Cricut Design Space, I went shopping for a red charger. This one was bought at WalMart.

Cricut cartridge:

Intricate Seasonal Art - Let's Be Jolly is cut 7" wide x 6.44" high. The three layers of the image are cut from red, green, and white vinyl. The vinyl is from CraftEVinyl. Intricate is definitely the word for these images. I  was weeding for quite some time but I finally got it applied to the plate. 

I like the results and will be using the plate in my Christmas decorating.

I have a cute snowman card to share today. One day I am making Thanksgiving cards and the next day, I am playing with Christmas images. These holidays are fast approaching and I am behind with my cards! This card is cut from green Recollections cardstock and measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" when folded. I used The Paper Studio Winter Wonderland paper pad for the patterned papers. Solid papers are from scrap stash! I am using the cute sketch at Paper Play Sketches.

Draw + Cut Holiday Tags

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am having fun with my Cricut Explore machine and a recently added cartridge in Cricut Access. My card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and is cut from Red Recollections cardstock. Patterned papers are from The Paper Studio Yuletide Joy paper pack. I am using Mary's Sketch 10 at CARDZ TV. Although the sketch is a wonderful way to use some of those pretty scrap papers, I forced myself to cut a new sheet of paper!

Cricut Cartridge:

Draw+Cut Holiday Tags  - When I saw this pretty ornament, I knew that I would be putting it on a card. The Merry Christmas Ornament Tag is cut 2.48" wide x 3" tall. Cricut Midnight pen is used for the writing.

While cutting the ornaments, I chose to cut one layer from scrap piece of patterned paper. I tried a red pen from Pilot PreciseV5 in the pen holder on the Cricut machine. It worked great!

I added a bow made with DMC Memory Thread to each ornament. The ornaments are pop-dotted on the card for dimension.

I love the sketch and the ornament--hmm, I may have chosen the designs for my Christmas Cards this year!
