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.

I like the way this turned out! Of course, it has pinks! Hope you enjoy!

Happy Birthday to you

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a birthday card made for a friend. Papers are K&Company Classic K Bailey Floral. Card measures 5" x 7".

Cuttlebug:

Anna Griffin Mix & Match Embossing Folders and Dies - Laurel Emblem Frame folder is used for the embossing on the floral paper. I sanded a bit of the embossing to give more of the white look on the paper. Happy Birthday to you is one of the embossing folders/dies included with the set.

Inside of the card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Splendid Soiree - Lace Place Mat - blue paper

Anna's Elegant Embellishments 2 - "make a Wish" is printed with the Cricut Midnight pen.

I like the way the card turned out and my friend was happy!

Vintage Florals Iris

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a card made using Anna Griffin products! Card measures 5" x 7" and is cut from white Bazzill card stock. Other papers are Recollections.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Vintage Florals - I enjoy playing with these pretty floral images from the digital print and cut cartridge. Iris is cut 2.5" wide x 3.62" high. 

Anna's Splendid Soiree - Lace Invitation is cut 4.75" wide x 6.64" high. This includes the purple mat, yellow doily, and white mat. Rather than using these images as an invitation, I chose to use it as the front of the card. The doily image has slots on each inside corner for the white mat to slide in. I eliminated those slots. 

Anna's Flourish Cards and Embellishments - The sentiment "Wishing you all the best" is written with the Cricut Midnight pen on the white mat.

Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - The butterfly is cut 1.45" wide x 1.65" high.

For added details, I added a strip of lace and a yellow crinkle ribbon bow.
I am happy with the finished card! Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is already the last Tuesday of January and time for another fun challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas! Ch 302 is Anything Goes with a Die Cut. I am playing with my new Cuttlebug Anna Griffin die and several Anna Griffin Cartridges. Card is cut from white cardstock and measures 5" x 7" when folded. Papers are from The Paper Studio.

Cuttlebug folder is Anna Griffin Flower Bramble. I really like the looks of the white embossed image on the pretty pink plaid paper.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Flourish Cards and Embellishments - Decorative Icon image is cut 4.50" wide x 2.78". This image is cut from the pink, green, and white papers. It is pop-dotted on the card.

Anna's Elegant Embellishments 2- The word Celebrate is written on the white mat using the Cricut Midnight pen.

Anna's Splendid Soiree - Bow is cut 1.50" wide x 1.19" high.

Anna's Elegant Embellishments - Flower is cut 2" wide x 1.68" high. I pop-dotted the flower on the card. 

Inside of card.

For the inside of the card, I cut the Lace Place Mat from Anna's Splendid Soirees cartridge at 5" x 3.75". Happy Birthday to You from Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 is written on the white mat.

I love Anna Griffin's cartridges and I am really pleased with this card.

Valentine - Bow Favor Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Valentine's Day! I have been busy again making more treat boxes. The pretty double-sided patterned paper is K&Company Circus Valentine. 

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna Griffin Splendid Soirees - Bow Favor Box is cut 11.50" wide x 4.65" high. When completed this box measures 2 3/4" wide x 2 7/8" high. This was cut at the largest size for a 12" Cricut mat.

I like how the bow is cut out of the box so that it stands out. I used the reverse side of the patterned paper for the bow.

Valentine's Day - Tag is cut 1.75" wide. Pen work is made with the Cricut Midnight pen.

For the sentiment I used Smile from Mary's CardzTV Mixed Messages Stamps. To attach the tag to the bow, I used DMC Memory thread for the bow. The candy is placed in a bag and tried with ribbon.

I smile when I see chocolates--how about you!
