Red Hat Lady Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am happy to see the challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas celebrating Red Hat Society Day this week. Needing a birthday card for a Red Hat Lady, this is the perfect challenge! I have belonged to a group for many years now. I enjoy the fun dining outings and travel with the Ladies! 

I am playing along with Melissa's pretty sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches this week. Congrats on 500th Sketch challenge! It took awhile to decide on what to use on the sides. Noticing the Martha Stewart Gifts Edge Punch sitting on a shelf and realizing that I had never used this punch (like so many others), I gave it a try. I do like the results!

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Window Ledge Cards - Card is cut 7" wide x 10" high from Recollections Purple cardstock.

Using Insert shapes - Square is sized to 6.75" x 4.85" and cut from Red Hat Society paper.

White mat is cut 6.75" wide x 2" high.

Anna's Sophisticated Soirees - Flourish Label is cut 2.5" wide x 1.582" from purple paper. To make a shadow using the red paper, the label is cut 2.6" wide x 1.682" high.

Forever Yours - Hat is cut 3.5" wide x 1.723" high from The Paper Company red double-sided paper. This paper has a pretty fiber texture in it..may not be noticeable in photo.

For added dimension, the hat is pop-dotted on the card. I added D.L.ART red/white twine that I won from her blog. Red and Purple Sequins are from a win at SpiegelMom Scraps. Thanks to both of you for the wins!

Celebrate/Birthday

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Wow! We have received snow twice in January. The temperature has been below freezing for the past couple of days. This is quite unusual for my area. While the snow is pretty, I do not like cold weather! A good time to stay in and play with the Cricut! With several recently purchased Anna Griffin cartridges, I have been staying busy.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Ribbons and Bows - This is first time to play with this cartridge. The bow card is found in the Cricut Make it Now section. It is cut 9.991" wide x 7.021" high without the envelope. Patterned papers are from Anna's collections. Other papers are white Colorbok and Recollections pink paper. My bow is cut 4" wide x 2.054" high...not as large as shown in directions. 

Anna's Splendid Soiree - Mandrin Tag is cut 2.226" wide x .694" high.

Anna's Gracious Giftables Bonus Content - Celebrate is written with the Cricut midnight pen on the tag. I added the tag to my card--it is not shown on the Make It Now card.

Inside the card:

Anna's Sophisticated  Soiree  - Flourish Label is cut 4.5" wide x 2.847" high from the white paper.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 - Happy Birthday to You is written on the flourish label using the midnight pen.

Die Cuttin' Divas - Ch. 319 Anything Goes

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time again for another fun challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas! Ch. 319 is Anything Goes. This may be one of the favorite challenges. Our challenges do require the use of a die cut!

 

I am late in making my blog post. We had very severe storms in my area on Sunday night. Just a few broken limbs at my house but many folks have had massive clean-ups with home damages and vehicle damages. My parents' place had lots of damage. Some areas have been without power for more than two days. Thankfully no one was injured. My Internet access has just been repaired. 

My card measures 5" x 7"  and is cut from white Colorbok cardstock. Other solid papers are Recollections and patterned paper is from K&Company.

Cuttlebug:

Anna Griffin Mix and Match Folders - Calligraphy Frame is used on the pink paper. Happy birthday to you is embossed on the white paper. 

Eleanor Laces Cut and Emboss folders are used on the two yellow images.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna Griffin Vintage Florals - Carolina 4 flower group is cut 2.3" wide x 3" high. I cut two images and used pop-dots between the layers.

Inside the card----

Anna's Sophisticated Soiree  - The white chain label is cut 4.50" wide x 2.39" high.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 - You Are So Special is printed using the Cricut Pink Crystal pen on the white label.

Die Cuttin' Divas - Ch. 309 3D Bags, Purses, or Boxes

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Spring everyone! I do enjoy Spring and all the pretty blooming flowers. 

Today is time again for another fun challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Ch. 309 is 3D Bags, Purses, and Boxes. I chose to make a bag with some pretty Spring color paper. The paper pad is Craft Smith Tea Party that was bought a few years back.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Sophisticated Soiree - Flourish Treat Bag is cut 11" wide x 7.05" high. I love the pretty flourish top of the bag!

Although I have Cricut rosette flower images, I chose to hand cut this rosette with my Fiskars cutting board. The 12" inch strip of paper was cut at 1 1/4" wide and folded at each 1/4 inch. I added a pretty pink brad from The Paper Studio Spare Parts. Rosette is pop-dotted on the bag.  I added a little pink tissue paper. A perfect little box for candy and/or small gift for my special friend.

Close up view.
