Celebrate/Birthday

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Wow! We have received snow twice in January. The temperature has been below freezing for the past couple of days. This is quite unusual for my area. While the snow is pretty, I do not like cold weather! A good time to stay in and play with the Cricut! With several recently purchased Anna Griffin cartridges, I have been staying busy.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Ribbons and Bows - This is first time to play with this cartridge. The bow card is found in the Cricut Make it Now section. It is cut 9.991" wide x 7.021" high without the envelope. Patterned papers are from Anna's collections. Other papers are white Colorbok and Recollections pink paper. My bow is cut 4" wide x 2.054" high...not as large as shown in directions.

Anna's Splendid Soiree - Mandrin Tag is cut 2.226" wide x .694" high.

Anna's Gracious Giftables Bonus Content - Celebrate is written with the Cricut midnight pen on the tag. I added the tag to my card--it is not shown on the Make It Now card.

Inside the card:

Anna's Sophisticated Soiree - Flourish Label is cut 4.5" wide x 2.847" high from the white paper.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 - Happy Birthday to You is written on the flourish label using the midnight pen.

I like the way this turned out! Of course, it has pinks! Hope you enjoy!

Happy Birthday

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With the cold weather we have been having, I have been playing in my craft room. This card is cut from pink Recollections paper and measures 4 1/4" wide x 5 1/2" high.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Flourish Cards and Embellishments - Flourish card is cut 8.50" wide x 5.527" high without the included envelope. This is my first try using this Anna Griffin image.

Anna's Fantastic Flip Cards - These are Print and Cut images..love the flowers! Large double flower is 2.75" wide x 2.396" high. Single flower is 1.75" wide x 1.74" high. Corners cut 1.53" wide x 1.523" high.

Inside of card:

Anna's Summer Soirees - Pool label is cut 3.25" wide x 4.202"high. I recently bought several Anna Cartridges and this is first image to use from this cartridge.

Anna's Fantastic Flip Cards - Sentiment Happy Birthday is written with the Cricut Pink Crystal pen on the pool label. I added an extra flower on the label.

I purchased Anna Griffin Fancy Flips Card Making Kit & Cutting Dies from HSN before I actually got the cartridge. The cartridge kept selling out. I was so happy to finally get the digital images. Guess what.. I have not used the kit!! Well, for this project, the sentiment on the front is from the kit. I spent too much money for the kit to sit on the shelf!!
