Happy Birthday

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

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.

Cricut Cartridges:

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.

Anna's Roses - Roses are Print and Cut images. Two large roses (upper left rose and lower right rose) are cut 2.63" x 3.093" high. Rose in center is cut 2.346" wide x 2.75" high. Small rose on lower left side is cut 1.25" wide. I trimmed some of the stems to place the roses in position that I chose.

Anna's Window Ledge Cards - Happy Birthday Banner is cut 3.50" wide.

Anna's Fantastic FlipCards - Corner is cut 2.25" wide.

Cuttlebug: 

Anna Griffin Matelasse - Folder is used on patterned paper mat.

Anna's Corner Pocket Dies - There are three dies in this set which are recommended for the Empress Machine. I was able to cut and emboss this rose die with the Cuttlebug machine. One of the dies is larger and may not work with Cuttlebug. Oops!

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

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

Happy Birthday to You!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After doing yard work yesterday morning, I needed a break in the craft room. Playing around with pretty patterned paper from Craft Smith Tea Party, this is what happened! Recollection solid papers and Recollections Shimmer Cardstock White Gold papers were used on card. White card measures 6 1/2" x 5".

Cricut Cartridges:

Insert Shapes - Square sized to 6.25" wide x 4.75" high rectangle for the patterned paper used on base of card.

Elegant Edges - Square Lace Edge Frame sized to 2.5" wide x 3.111" high for the light and dark pink paper frame.

Small Talk Frames & Tags - Frame is cut 3" wide x 2.996" high from the white and aqua papers.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2  - "Happy Birthday to You" is written with the Cricut Pink Crystal pen on the white paper of the frame.

Anna's Roses -  Rose is cut 1.539" wide x 1.805" high. This is a print and cut mage. I think the pretty rose works well with the patterned rose paper.

Martha Stewart Swirling Lace edge punch is used on 1.5" strip of pink patterned paper. I added a Michael's adhesive trim. Pretty sequins are a win from SpiegelMom Scraps.

I love the way this turned out! Hope you enjoy!
