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.

Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Sentiment "With Loving Thoughts" is written with the Cricut Lavender pen on the white label.

Inside the card!

Cuttlebug Matelasse folder is used on the Purple patterned paper on front of card. The Matelasse Border is used on the light purple strip on front of card.

Happy Birthday sentiment circle is from an Anna Griffin cardmaking kit.

Lots of pop-dots used on front.

I am pleased with the results of the card! Hope you enjoy!

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:

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.

Mother's Day Bouquet - Red flower is cut in 5 layers - 2.25", 2", 1.75", 1.50" and 1" wide. I spritzed the images with water, then crumpled up and let partially dry before forming the flower. It is pop-dotted on the card.

Anna's Lace Card -Red and White

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I wanted to make an anniversary card for a special couple..not just any anniversary but one that only occurs every four years. Yes Leap Day! I chose a couple of the pretty Anna Griffin Cricut cartridges for the images. Card measures 5" x 7" and is cut from white Colorbok paper and red Recollections paper.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Heart card is cut 20" wide x 11.82" high. This size includes an envelope. I like the pretty cut out hearts on the front and decided to leave it as is. I cut a second red liner and used it inside the card.

Heart Border is cut 4.50" wide and used inside the card. 

Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments - Anniversary Sentiment is written with the Cricut Midnight pen on the rectangle shape. The rectangle was cut 4.25" wide. The sentiment is used inside the card. Love the sentiment!

I am pleased with the results of this card. It was fun making the card with just the red and white colors.
