Sweet Hoilday Wishes

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks to a couple of my favorite card challenges, I have made my first Christmas card for this year. Never too early to get started, I guess. Christmas season will soon be here! Card is cut from Recollections cream cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". Papers are from left over projects.

Cricut Cartridges:

Santa's Village - After seeing the new updates to Cricut Design Space, I was excited to try the adding patterns to image layer feature. Christmas Grandma with cookies is a print and cut image. It is cut 3" wide. I used the new pattern feature to change the color/pattern of the plate.

Baby Steps - Simple Elegant Frame is cut 4.68" x 3.42". I used only the smaller inside frame. 

Winter Frolic - Phrase Sweet Holiday Wishes is cut 2.4" wide.

Challenges:

Cricut Birthday Cake

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Always needing birthday cards, I decided to combine two challenges to make this card. The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is cut from a blue card stock paper. The patterned cake/cupcake paper was left over from a previous project. Remaining papers are also from my scrap stash. Although I own many Cricut cartridges, I purchased a monthly subscription to try in Cricut Design Space. After a search for a birthday cake through numerous images, would you believe I chose a cake image that I actually own!! In fact, of all the cartridges that I used for this card, Decorate! Celebrate! is the only one that I do not own. I was happy to use Cricut images for those images depicted in the sketch.

Cricut Cartridges:

Just a Note - Birthday cake is cut 2.25" wide. 

Decorate! Celebrate! - Small green banner is cut .78" wide x.85" high.

Plantin Schoolbook - Oval is cut 4.75" high.

Pretty Pennants - Pink pendant banner is cut 6" high.

Cuttlebug:

Happy Birthday folder is used on the white oval.

Red, White, and Blue

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with red, white, and blue papers again! The card is white cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". It is layered with red paper and then a pretty Paper Studio patterned paper. The patterned paper was left from my previous patriotic card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Independence Day - Bicycle is cut 3.75" wide from the red, white, and blue papers.

Stand and Salute - Banner Frame with scallop edge is cut 4.25" high. This cut did not have any layers so I hand cut the white for the background and added a strip of red paper under the star cut outs.

Life's A Party - Celebrate is cut 3.75" wide.

Cuttlebug folder is Stars...used on the white mat.

Edges of papers are frayed and inked. A red/white button from my stash added the finishing touch by running some Sew Easy fancy floss through it and making a bow.

Hello Pink and Lavender

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After seeing the pretty and inspiring projects from some challenge blogs, I wanted to play along! Pink and Lavender --Yes, some of my favorite colors! Usually I choose a Cricut image first, but playing with a sketch and colors, it took me awhile to decide on the Cricut image. There are so many pretty images available. This is the results!

Card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. Of course, I had to use some of my favorite K&Company papers! I sure need to be looking for another one of the pretty paper pads. This is my second, maybe third, pad. Can you tell I love these papers!!

Cricut Cartridge is Lacy Labels. The Hello label is cut 3.42" wide, 3.78" high. It is pop-dotted on the card for added dimension. Can you believe I only used one Cricut image! 

Adhesive pearl strand and purple crochet flower are from Recollections. Small pink paper flowers were found at a flea market. Edges of background papers are frayed.
