Dresser Step Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Dresser Step Card. This is another card style that my friend Cathy challenged me to do. I have made this card style before and was glad to make the card for a little girl this time. Many tutorials are available on Pinterest if you would like to try it also.

The First Few Years - Label Classic 2 is cut .75" wide x 2.25" high. I cut three images at this size to be used as the drawers.

Anna's Window Frame Cards - Happy birthday is written with Cricut Pink Crystal pen on a 2.5" wide x 2.75" high rectangle.
Let's Eat Some Cake - Candle is cut .589" wide x 3" high.
Sorry I failed to take photo of the inside of card.

I added a white crinkle ribbon, pink heart brads on the drawers, and small flowers with white pearls that have been in my stash for a long time.

Red Hat Lady Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!
I am happy to see the challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas celebrating Red Hat Society Day this week. Needing a birthday card for a Red Hat Lady, this is the perfect challenge! I have belonged to a group for many years now. I enjoy the fun dining outings and travel with the Ladies! 
I am playing along with Melissa's pretty sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week. Congrats on 500th Sketch challenge! It took awhile to decide on what to use on the sides. Noticing the Martha Stewart Gifts Edge Punch sitting on a shelf and realizing that I had never used this punch (like so many others), I gave it a try. I do like the results!

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna's Window Ledge Cards - Card is cut 7" wide x 10" high from Recollections Purple cardstock.
Using Insert shapes - Square is sized to 6.75" x 4.85" and cut from Red Hat Society paper.
White mat is cut 6.75" wide x 2" high.
Anna's Sophisticated Soirees - Flourish Label is cut 2.5" wide x 1.582" from purple paper. To make a shadow using the red paper, the label is cut 2.6" wide x 1.682" high.
Anna's Elegant Embellishments 2 - Phrase "make a Wish" is printed with the Cricut Midnight pen on the purple label.
Forever Yours - Hat is cut 3.5" wide x 1.723" high from The Paper Company red double-sided paper. This paper has a pretty fiber texture in it..may not be noticeable in photo.

For added dimension, the hat is pop-dotted on the card. I added D.L.ART red/white twine that I won from her blog. Red and Purple Sequins are from a win at SpiegelMom Scraps. Thanks to both of you for the wins!

Spring Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I found a few challenges that I decided to play along with. Sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches. I was able to make use of some pretty pattern and solid Anna Griffin scrap papers by using this pretty sketch. Card measures 7" wide x 5" high.

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna's Window Frame Card - Card is cut 7" wide x 10" high from Colorbok white cardstock. 
Using Insert Shapes in Cricut Design Space, I added a square and changed it to a 6.75" wide x 4.75" high mat from the green pattern paper. Beige Pattern paper is cut 6.75" wide x 2.50"  high.  I cut three squares at 2 1/2" from Anna's floral paper. Strips are cut 6.75" wide x 1" high from the pink and green solid papers.
Anna's Fantastic FlipCards - Print and Cut Floral image is 2.985" wide x 4" high.

I like the results of these pretty papers with the nice sketch. Hope you enjoy!
