Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is beginning to feel like Winter in my neck of the woods! I am not quite finished with my outside Christmas decorating, but it too cold for me to be outside. I needed a little Cricut play time anyway!

A Quilted Christmas - Snowman

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

My free two week subscription with the newly purchased Cricut Explore has expired so I have been  linking some of my cartridges. I had never linked any of my cartridges to any system. I have many more to link. It will surprise me how many cartridges that I own and have never used.

Today I am sharing a Winter card made using several cartridges with some images that I have never used. The card measures 5"x 6 1/2" and is white cardstock. The background patterned paper is from my recently purchased The Paper Studio Pine St. Square paper pad. Green plaid used on the vest is from a new pad from the Paper Studio Winter Wonderland.

Cricut Cartridges: 

A Quilted Christmas - Snowman

Winter Frolic - Phrase "Brrrr"

Winter Woodland - Red Bird

Winter Wonderland -Holly Berry

Teresa Collins Dec 25 - Snowflake - inside card

3 Birds of Parade - Phrase "Baby, its Cold Outside" - inside card.

Cuttlebug Folders are Snowflakes and Polka Dots. I hand cut the snow banks and added the embossing for texture. I added Stickles Frosted Lace on the snow banks but my camera did not capture that effect.

Tiny snowflakes are the negative cut from the Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake edge punch. I added red rhinestones to the snowflakes for a bit of bling.

Snowman and Hollyberry are pop-dotted on card for dimension.

A Quilted Christmas - Sleigh

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

I am sharing another card using Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge. Looks like Christmas will be here before I can use all the pretty images on this cartridge! The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is layered with a red stripe paper from K&Company Yuletide Paper Pack. Snowflake papers are from the same pack.

Cricut Cartridges:

A Quilted Christmas - Page 38 - Sleigh with presents is cut 3.5" using papers from the scrap stash.

Joys of the Seasons - P. 75 - Merry Christmas is cut 1.5".

Other supplies:

Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake edge punch is used on the green snowflake paper. Using the Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake corner punch, I cut a corner to get the larger green snowflakes for the top corners of the card. We may not actually see green snowflakes falling, but I wanted to add a bit more interest to the beige paper with the green snowflakes.

Versa Magic Gingerbread inking. Martha Stewart red dot paper tape was bought last Christmas.

A Quilted Christmas - Borders

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing again with Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge. I am loving this cartridge. There are many pretty images and fun features available. Today I am sharing two cards made using the card feature and borders.

The top card is using the poinsettia Border 4 found on page 72. The lower card is using the gifts/packages Border 8 found on page 76. Both cards are cut at 5.5" from red Recollection paper. The liner is cut from a gold shimmer paper from Holiday Time.

I used Cricut Celebrate with Flourish to cut the sentiment Merry Christmas. It is cut at 1.75" from red and 2 different shades of green papers. The shadow is cut from the gold paper.

Simple cards and I like the finished look of the borders!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 99 Tis the Season

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another inspirational challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 99 is "Tis the Season" - create a card/project which represents what you celebrate during this time of the year. My card celebrates the Holy birth of Jesus, the greatest gift of all, and what it means to us.

Using Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge, I chose to use one of the card features-this cuts the silhouette out of the card. I like the manger scene. The image is Joseph on page 51. The card is cut 5.5" from Recollections red cardstock. The images cut out very well at this size with the finished card measuring  5.5" x 4 5/16". Using the card feature on shift will cut the liner for the card.

I added the star from Cricut Christmas/Noel. It is cut at 1.5". 

The star and card liner are cut using a gold shimmer paper from a pack of Holiday Time Designer Paper. My photo does not capture the shimmer of the paper very well.

Visit My Sheri Crafts to see the inspiration by the design team and our guest designer. For more details on the projects, please visit the individual blogs. We love your visits and comments on our blogs!

Now it is your turn to play along with us! We look forward to seeing your cards/projects! Remember several Ooh la la awards will be given!

A Quilted Christmas - Chimney

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Recently I purchased Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge and finally found a little time to play with it. This cartridge has some wonderful images on it - hard to choose which image to start with- but I chose the first image on the overlay. Love Santa coming down the chimney! 

Visiting Card Creations By Lorraine, I noticed that Lorraine had an excellent video on how to make a shaped card using this chimney image. She is so talented and inspiring! I wanted to give this shaped card a try! Thanks so much Lorraine for sharing your lovely creations and videos with us!

This image is on page 29 in the handbook and I cut the images at 5" using Cricut Craft Room. The chimney on shift has some very tiny little berries which did not cut well so I used Stickles for some random berries. On layer 1 shift, I used Hide Contour in the CCR to be able to cut the holly in green and the boots in gray. Layer 2 shift shows small cut pieces that may go on the candle flame, but again this is so tiny. Using the hide contour feature I cut only the white for Santa"s waistline. Gold Stickles were used on the candles.

Other supplies include the Martha Stewart punch for the fern greenery. Thanks Lorraine for reminding me that I had the punch! The Poinsettia flower is Making Memories that has been in my stash for several years. 

I had so much fun making this shaped card and like the results! Thanks again Lorraine for the inspiration! Now I may be able to make more shaped cards without the use of the Gyspy, Design Studio or CCR.

Now head on over to Card Creations By Lorraine and check out Lorraine's amazing talent! I am sure you will be inspired!
