BBTB2 - 3-D Halloween Treat Container

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Jeri asked up to create a 3-D Halloween Treat container using any Cricut cartridge. Several cartridges have 3D boxes. I have been playing with Wrap it Up and chose the cute pumpkin box for my project.

Purple Recollection paper was used for the box and the other papers are from my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridge:

Wrap It Up - Page 59 Pumpkin box is cut at 9". Using the Cricut Craft Room and playing with the sizes, I used the Basic and Layer cuts so I would have the four different colors that you see. Phrase Happy Halloween is cut 1".

Candy corn ribbon is Paper Studio. Curly Ribbon used for the bow and tag.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #94 - Snow Fun

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at Fantabulous Cricut. Challenge #94 is Snow Fun- use a snowflake or snowman on your card or project. I started with a white 5" x 6 1/2" card and layered it with the snowflake patterned paper. Papers are from my stash but I think it is The Paper Studio.

Cricut Cartridge:

A Child's Year -Page 55- Snowman is cut at 3.50". This is one of my favorite snowman cuts. I love the silhouette cuts on this cartridge. We seldom receive snow in my area, but if we do and it is enough, we will be making a snowman.

Martha Stewart - Aspen Snowflake edge punch.

Ribbon is Walmart Holiday Time and the Rhinestone Snowflakes are Darcie. I thought the shimmering colors of the snowflakes would be pretty on the card and I need to use more items from my treasure chest!

Be sure to visit FCCB and see what the talented designers have created for this challenge! Now it is your turn to play along with us. Remember to follow the theme and you must include a Cricut cut on your card or project. We look forward to seeing your project! Deadline for entry is midnight Sunday, Jan. 22.

Colors of Fall

Hi and thanks for your visit! I love the colors of Fall and enjoy making cards with a Fall theme. I was excited to receive the Cricut Simply Scarecrow cartridge so of course I had to choose a scarecrow for my card! Card is 5" x 6 1/2" and layered with same size patterned paper.
Cricut cartridges:
Simply Scarecrow-- Lady scarecrow is cut 4". Crow is 1.75". Three images of the crow are available on this cut but I used only the larger one. Fall is cut 1.25". These cuts were done on the Expression2.
Wrap It Up - Page 45 - Fence is cut 4 3/4". My first cuts of the fence and grass were 5" which put the fence a bit too wide for the card. I resized and cut 4 3/4" for the fence, but used the 5" cut for the grass.
Stretch Your Imagination - Page 44 - Pumpkins cut 1 1/2" and 1" using the blackout function.
Page 48 - Leaves were cut using varying sizes.
Cuttlebug:
Distressed Stripes on the fence and  Divine Swirls on the pumpkins!
I used lots of inking, 1/8" and 1/4" pop dots for the dimension, buttons, and raffia for the bows.

Challenges:
Celebrate the Occasion - Ch 36 Fall
Cooking With Cricut - Ch 57 Scarecrow, Hay, Crows and sketches.
Paper Playtime - Ch 58 Say It With Sentiment, and use buttons and bows
