Print and Cut Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been a while since I have posted on my blog. December was a busy month! With a graduation and Christmas wedding in my family, I found little time to blog. I made some Christmas cards but I have not shared yet. Today I am back with my first card of 2018!

Cricut Cartridges:

Alexis Mattox Quick Cut Cards - Card is cut 8.50" wide x 5.50" high using one of the blue papers from Recollections Blue Ombre paper pack. 

Snow Angel - Snowy Village Background is cut 4" wide x 5.25" high. This is my first time to use one of the pretty print and cut images from this cartridge. I added the Girl and Squirrel image (.878" wide x 1.486" high) on the background image using the flatten feature in Cricut Design Space. This allowed the two images to print as one image. New try with that feature too!

Snowflake - cut 2 different sizes- Small snowflake is glued to the top of background and second is used inside the card.

Using Pen Pal Text, Warm Wishes is written with the Cricut Turquoise pen on a 2.514' wide x .611" high inserted shape.

Inside the card:

Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Sentiment "With Loving Thoughts" is written with turquoise pen.

I like the way my January birthday card turned out. Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hello Crafting Friends! It is time again for another challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas! Challenge 321 is Summer Foods. With so many yummy Summer foods, this should be a fun challenge. My card measures 4 1/4" wide x 5 1/2" high. The card image is cut using Craft Smith Wedding Neutrals. I cut the liner using Recollections pink paper. 

Cricut Cartridges:

Alexis Mattox Quick Cut Cards - Ice cream card is cut 9.8" wide x 13.185" high. This size does include the envelope. The Cricut Midnight pen was used for the drawings. This is my second time to use the nice cartridge. I really like the addition of the pen work on the image.

Inside the card:

Imagine More Cards - Happy Birthday is cut 3" wide x 2.15" high. The gift box is cut 1.906" wide x 2.2" high. These are print and cut images. I never bought the Cricut Imagine machine. I am happy that the Imagine images are available with the Cricut Access Subscription.

Make a Wish - Birthday Boy Cards

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a birthday card that is really quick and easy to make! Recently I purchased a Cricut Mystery Box which included five digital cartridges. I have not had time to play with many of the images yet, but I am really liking this image. Solid papers are Recollections and patterned paper is DCWV Floral Stack.

Cricut Cartridges:
Alexis Mattox Quick Cut Cards - Make a Wish card is cut at 10" wide x 13.31"high. You will notice the front of the card has cut out areas and also some pen work areas. I used the Cricut Jade pen. I like the green and pinks together.
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 - Sentiment Happy Birthday to You is printed with the Jade pen on a 3.50" x 4" inserted shape. I added a layer of pink paper under the sentiment. This is used inside the card.

A small butterfly is added on the front of the card.

Also needing a birthday card for my grandson, I decided on another quick cut card using red, white, and blue papers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Alexis Mattox Quick Cut Cards  - Birthday boy is cut 5.5" x 8.50". This size does not include the featured envelope. I used the Cricut Midnight pen for the writing on the front of the card.

Inside of card:

Cricut Font and Basic Shapes - Happy Birthday is cut 4" wide x 1.602" high.

Life's A Party   - Baseball is cut 1.50" wide x 1.48" high. 

Both cards came together pretty quickly. Glueing is what takes the time! I do like the results.
