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.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been busy with lots of pretty pink and coordinating papers on my projects lately. What should I do with those smaller papers that are left over! Make another card, of course. Patterned papers are from Anna Griffin. I dislike tossing an inch of those pretty papers! This is the results! White card is 5" x 6 1/2".

To add more dimension, I pulled out my Cuttlebug and folders.

Pink Center Step Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am back with another pink card! Can you tell I like pink! This card style is called a Center Step Card. With my last HSN purchase of Anna Griffin Window Box Card Cartridge, I did not sign up for the autoship for the two upcoming cartridges including a Window Frame Card Cartridge. The card base is similar to this center step card. I am happy to see the cartridge will be offered in September!

There are many available tutorials on making the center step card base. One that I have used before is found on SplitCoastStampers. Well, I tried to make one using Cricut Design Space and I am pleased with the results.

Papers are Cricut Green cardstock, Anna Griffin patterned paper, and Recollections pink paper.

Cricut Cartridges:

Used Shapes feature to create the base of card.

Anna's Elegant Embellishments 2 - Lattice Background 4.5" wide x 5. 5" high.

Bow Embellishment is cut 2.25" wide x 1.264" high from two shades of pink paper.
