My Sheri Crafts - Thanksgiving

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today starts a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Sandy chose Ch. 194 Thanksgiving. She asks that we include any of the following on our card/project - Pilgrim, Indian, Cornucopia, Pumpkin, Turkey, or Pie. For my project, I made a Pull Out Card. You can find the tutorial at Mary's CARDZ TV. Base of card is a cream Recollections paper. Patterned and solid papers are left over from previous projects. This card style is fun to make and I like the finished look..also a good way to use lots of Cricut images! I was able to add 4 of the choices for the challenge on this card.

Autumn Celebrations - Turkey is cut 1.75" wide.

Classroom- Oct-Nov. - Pilgrim is cut 2" wide. I believe this is my first time to cut a Cricut Pilgrim image.

Double Twisted Easel Thanksgiving Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Brrr! It is cold in my area this morning! I am not ready for cold weather but maybe I will have more time to play with my Cricut. With Thankgiving Day almost here, I decided to make one more card. This is my play with the Double Twisted Easel card style. If you have not tried one of these cards, you can find the tutorial at Split Coast Stampers. The card starts with a 8" square of Kraft cardstock.

When folded the card will easily fit in a business sized envelope. I think it will be a pretty display for Thanksgiving. Patterned papers are K&Company. Solid papers are from scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Thanksgiving Table Decor- Cornucopia/mat is cut 3.50" wide. I cut a duplicate mat for the pilgrim hat. Mats are pop-dotted on card.

Autumn Celebrations - Pilgrim Hat is cut 2.75" wide.

Classroom Oct-Nov - Happy Thanksgiving is cut 4.25" wide. It is placed on hand cut mats and pop-dotted on the card. Gelly roll pen used on the turkey for a little detail.

Cuttlebug folder Swiss Dots is used on the hat and Houndstooth is used on the cornucopia. A few extra leaves are randomly placed on the base of card.

Autumn Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is a gorgeous Autumn day in my area. Loving these cooler days we are having...not sure how long it will last. Inspires me to make another Fall card. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cut from Recollections cream card stock. The patterned papers are K&Company paper pad..some left over from previous projects. I followed the instructions for the Folded Paper Frame at Split Coast Stampers. The frame begins with a 4 1/4 square of double sided patterned paper. Edges are cut with a corner punch. I do not have the name of that punch. I thought the frame would work well for my pumpkin!

Cricut Cartridges:

Autumn Celebrations - Pumpkin cut 2" wide.

Classroom - October-November - Leaf is cut 1.25" wide.

Gypsy Wanderings - Autumn is cut 3.75" wide.

Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots is used on the cream paper inside the folded frame.

I hand cut the corner papers of the card.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 118 Fall Colors

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today we have a fun and inspiring challenge for you at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 118 is Fall Colors! Marge asked us to create a card or project using Fall Colors - shades of browns, oranges, red, yellows. Temperatures in my area are definitely not Fall yet! Harvest is underway for the farmers. I am looking forward to all the pretty colors of Fall.

For my project, I used my Cricut to make a Fall wreath using a 12 inch grapevine wreath.

Cricut Cartridges:

Mother's Day Bouquet - Two styles of flowers are cut from pretty K&Company SW Meadow papers. The yellow Cricut flowers are attached with brads to a handmade rosette. I wrapped red buttons with burlap and hot glued it in the centers of the patterned flowers. The red button seemed too bright and needed toning down. I do like the look!

Autumn Celebrations - This cartridge was available free in the Cricut Craft Room so I tried a few of the images. The phrase Fall is cut 3". The pumpkins are cut at 2" and 1.5". Leaves are also from the cartridge.

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder is used on the acorn.

A burlap ribbon completes my Fall wreath and now it is ready for the door!

We look forward to seeing your creative projects using Fall colors. Several Ooh la la awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer!
