Welcome Fall - Center Step Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am back again with another Fall Center Step Card. With this morning's purchase of the September Digital Mystery Box, I was anxious to play with one of the new Cricut digital cartridge. I cut two card bases when I was cutting yesterday, so why not use it for these new images. The tutorial for the Center Step Card can be found at Splitcoaststampers. Card paper is Craft Smith Fall Embossed.

Cricut Cartridge:

Photo Play Autumn Day - Some of the images available on this cartridge are cuttable images, but most are print and cut images. For my card, I used all print and cut images.

Leaves Banner is cut 3.75" wide x 1.469" high. Using Font Be Mine, the words Welcome Fall was written with the Cricut midnight pen on the banner.

Pumpkins - 3.75" wide x 2.272" high.

Trees - cut 1" wide x 3.347" high.

Acorns and leaves were cut at varying sizes.

Some of the images have a bit more white edge than I like, so I inked some of the edges. The cartridge has pretty Fall images.

Center Step Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with another Center Step Card. The tutorial can be found at Split Coast Stampers. The base of the card starts with white card stock. I layered it with a patterned page from Mrs. Elizabeth Heirloom package that I have had for several years.The dotted yellow paper is leftover from a previous project.

Cricut Cartridges:

Doodlecharms - Cupcake is cut 2.5" wide x 3.25" high. I did not want the candle on the cupcake so that was trimmed off. Cupcake is pop-dotted on the doily.

Lovely Florals - Doily is cut 4.10" high from white and yellow cardstock.

Sentimentals - Tag is cut 2.50" high. Using the Cricut Design Space write feature, the words Happy Birthday are written with the Lovely Florals alphabet.

 

Eyelet lace, ribbon, and pearls are from my crafting stash.

Center Step Card and Die D-Lites

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with some new crafting toys and a new card style. This is my first center step card! A great tutorial can be found at Splitcoaststampers for the center step card by clicking here. This is a fun card style and I do like the results! I am wondering why I have not made one of these cards before now!!

Recently I purchased the Spellbinders Die-D-Lites Window One and Wrought Iron (fence) at a great price. I was excited about playing with the new dies! This is the results! 

The card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and is cut from white cardstock. Papers are scrap papers from previous projects from the K&Company Watercolor Bouquet. You probably have seen some of the papers. I must buy another one of these paper pads-- do not want to run out of these beauties!

Spellbinders Nestabilities Label Four is used to cut the white mat. It was embossed with Paper Studio Bricks embossing folder. Hope you can see the blue, green, and purple inks that I used on the mat. I thought that was a good background for my purple window! A piece of vellum is used under the window opening. Just had to add a little lace curtain to catch your eye!

I had some leftover flowers cuts from previous projects using the Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge. The two different papers are used on the flower which is layered on a lace rosette. Strands of pink pearls and a single flower from a strip of lace flowers complete the flower. The small crinkled ribbon bow accents the flower. Greenery is cut using the Martha Stewart Branch punch. Also, pink pearls add interest to the top of the card.

When I saw the pretty photo inspiration at The Shabby Tea Room, I thought my pretty papers may work. Challenge 182 is Sweet Summertime - Use the pretty colors from photo and a Summertime theme. When I think of Summer, I am reminded of all the gorgeous colors and flowers blooming everywhere! Now if I can get me one of those windows!!
