Happy Birthday

I was excited to receive my Anna Griffin Corner Pocket Dies! Of course, my first card had to be pink! Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cut from Recollections pink cardstock. Patterned background paper is Cricut Anna Griffin Rose Medley.

Shapes -  Changing the square shape to a rectangle, the card was cut from the pink cardstock at 10" wide x 6.5" high. Patterned paper for card base is cut 4.75" wide x 6 .25" high.

Banner, small rose, and middle rose are pop-dotted on card. 

I am loving the looks of this card! Hope you enjoy!

Get Well Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have enjoyed time in my craft room today and will share the card that I have just finished. Card measures 5" x 7" and I used pretty scrap papers from Anna Griffin. You may recognize the papers from previous projects. I noticed the current challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches and thought this sketch would be fun to work with the small leftover papers!

Cuttlebug:

Feel Better Soon (set of four) embossing folders --- Get well soon is embossed on the light pink paper. Needing a Get well card, I was inspired by the challenge at Cuttlebug Mania. I have so many embossing folders and never used some. I like the small sentiment!

Anna Griffin Matelasse embossing folder is used on the darker pink strip.

Swiss Dots folder is used on the white mat.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Window Ledge Card - Card is cut 10" wide x 7" high from white card stock.

Anna's Elegant Embellishments - Tag is cut 3" wide using the green and white papers.

Anna's Fantastic Flip Cards  - Roses cut 1.79" wide x 2.069" high. I cut 2 of the image. Butterfly cut 1" wide. Two images are cut with one cut on flip. These are print and cut images.
Using Insert Shapes - Square was changed to a 4.75" wide x 6.75" high rectangle to cut the floral background mat of the card.

White and green mats are pop-dotted on card. A white crinkle ribbon bow is added to the card. I used pink inking around the edges of paper.

I like the way the card turned out! Thanks for your visits and comments!

My First Screen Divider Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

For this card, my friend Cathy challenged me to make a Screen Divider Card. This is another new card style for me. I chose to make a Spring birthday card for a friend. I looked at tutorials and card examples on Pinterest. I followed along with the video directions by Dawn O. Papers are Colorbok white, Recollections green, and Anna Griffin patterned paper.

Rather than cutting the card and panels using a hand cutter, I added the measurements in Cricut Design Space and let my Cricut Maker do its magic!

Cricut Cartridges:
Using Insert Shapes in Cricut Design Space, I added a square and sized it to 11" wide x 5 1/2" high. It is scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", and 8 1/4". Fold card in center, then outer sections back on itself.

Insert Shapes for the panels - 2.25" wide x 4" high for patterned paper panel, 2.42" wide x  4.15" high for the green panels.

Lacy Labels  - Label #M3D540 - I used a portion of the larger label of the group and the slice feature to remove the lower part of the four white sections. I did not have a suitable punch so I tried it with my Cricut. 

Anna's Vintage Florals - Carolina 2 -Larger group of flowers, Clusters - white and pink group.

Anna's Vintage Phrases - Happy Birthday and Fun with Friends

Anna's Planner - Rose Dot Flag cut 2.25" wide x 1.859" high

Anna's Fantastic FlipCards - Butterfly 1.15" wide x 1.162" high

Martha Stewart Swirling Lace Edge Punch used on the top of the screen divider.

I like the way this turned out. Of course, I had to use my favorite colors - pink and green. I think it will be pretty displayed on a desk or tabletop. Hope you like it and maybe you are inspired to try this different card style.

My First Bridge Fold Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Browsing through card styles and tutorials on Pinterest, I noticed a cute card style that I have not made. Using the photo tutorial from Song of my Heart Stampers, I decided to give the Bridge Fold Card a try. There are many tutorials and photos available. I saw this card style also listed as a U Fold. While this is a new style for me, I think this was posted in 2017. I have not been looking at Pinterest often, have I! I challenged my friend Cathy to make a card using the tutorial. We are challenging each other to try different card styles and it has been fun!

You can cut two card bases from a 8.5" x 11" piece of cardstock if you are cutting with a hand cutter.

Using my Cricut Maker, I was able to make the template using shapes in Cricut Design Space.

Card is cut 8" x 4.25" from a Recollections pink shimmer cardstock. It is scored at 1.25", 2.5", 5.5" and 6.75". 

Four strips of pretty Anna Griffin floral paper were cut at 1" x 4" for the side mats on the card. 

Looking at the lower photo, the card is laid flat so you can see the position of the patterned papers. Green mat is cut 2.75" x 4" for the center section. 

The lower bridge strip is cut 5.5" x 1.25" from a solid coordinating paper. Patterned paper is cut 5.25" x 1".

 Card opened flat

Cricut Anna's Window Box Cards - White sentiment mat is cut 2.042" x 2.334". Best wishes is printed on the pink mat with Cricut Midnight pen.
Cricut Anna's Fantastic FlipCards - Roses cut 2.321" wide x 3.4" high.

Cuttlebug Folders:
Textile on the rose floral papers, Swiss Dots on the two inside rose strips.

Sentiment mat and roses are pop-dotted on the card. White pearls were added. I used pop-dots to join the bridge strip to the card. Card will lay flat for mailing.

It makes me happy to try different card styles. I really like the way this turned out! Hope you do too! Maybe you would like to try this card style...good way to use some of those pretty scrap papers.

Happy Birthday

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Needing a birthday card for a friend, I chose to play with my newest Cricut cartridge. Card is 5" x 7" cut from Recollections purple cardstock. Patterned papers are from Anna Griffin Amelie pad.

I have this ongoing debate about purchasing a Cricut Maker. Whenever I saw the Anna Griffin rose Maker on HSN, I thought now is the time to buy. However after adding it to the shopping cart several times, I decided against the purchase. I am still using the Cricut Explore and it works fine for me on projects that I do. Just to say that I did shop, I purchased the new Anna's Scoring Wheel Tricks cartridge which was designed for the Maker. This is my first card using one of the image, but my Explore did good enough for me on the scoring. Maybe one day, I will purchase the Maker! HA!

This card design can be found in the Anna Griffin category in Cricut Design Space. I customized the design to suit my needs.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Scoring Wheel Tricks -- Drapery Fold

Anna's Elegant Embellishments - Flourish border is cut 7" wide x 1" high from the solid lavender paper.

Anna's Print and Cut Library Vol. 1 - Two large roses on the front. Smaller roses used inside the card.

Anna's Fantastic FlipCards - Butterfly cut 1".

Inside card:

Anna's Summer Soirees - BBQ Label is cut 5.5" wide from the purple patterned paper. The white label is cut 5.25" wide from the white paper.

Mother's Day Explosion Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

I have another Mother's Day card to share with you. After viewing pretty explosion cards and some are called pop out explosion cards, I wanted to try making one. There are many tutorials available on the construction of this card style.

 

My project started with a card base cut at 4.50" x 9", when folded makes a 4.50" x 4.50" card. The pretty double-sided papers are from Anna Griffin Rose Medley pack. The paper insert is cut 8.50" x 8.50". This is the folded part that is used inside.

Cricut Cartridges:

Fantastic Flip Cards - Heart Embellishment is cut 3.285" x 3.054". I cut 2 of the cut out hearts and one of the solid hearts. Sentiment "I Love You" is written on an inserted 3.5" wide x 2.25" rectangle of the pink solid paper which is used inside the card.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Mother's Day is written with the Cricut Midnight pen on the scallop pink heart embellishment.

Anna's Print then Cut Library - Rose is used on the Happy Mother's Day heart.

 

I cut a 1.25" wide green band to wrap around the card. 

Cricut Create a Critter - Word Mom. This is applied to the second heart embellishment. It is pop-dotted on the band. 

Outside of card with the band.

I really like the way this turned out and of course, I love the pinks and greens! Hope you enjoy!
