Snowman

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been building another snowman! This is one of my favorite Cricut snowman! We seldom see snow in my area so I can only play with paper. This card measures approximately 5 1/2" x 5 1/4". Papers are from the scrap stash and I still see lots more paper in that stash. This all started with the frame!

Cricut Cartridges:

Disney Pooh and Friends - Snowflake frame is cut 5.6" wide x 5.25" high. This consists of 3 layers that I used - blue, white, and red. This is my first time to use this frame cut, and I am glad I did!

Christmas Kitsch - Snowman is cut 3" high. This snowman is the one for the shaped card in Design Space. I only cut the snowman because I wanted the layer colors for this image. Snowman is pop-dotted on card.

3 Birds on Parade - Phrase - Baby it's Cold Outside is cut 4.50" wide. This is used inside the card.

Cuttlebug Snowflakes is used on the white mat behind the snowman. I cut that mat by hand and place it behind the frame. Some cut out snowflakes are randomly used on the mat.

Lace Poinsettia Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

During the recent Black Friday sale at Cricut, I treated myself to three of the newer Anna Griffin cartridges. I love her work! I was so happy when the cartridges arrived. Love the Christmas Cards!

Using the Anna's Christmas Cards cartridge and the Make It Now feature on Cricut Design Space, the card I am sharing is the first one I made. Gold foil paper for the background is from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions 2011. Had that a long time!! Other papers are from my scrap stash! Card measures approximately 5 1/2" x 4" when folded. I added my extra touches with the red crinkle bow and red and gold Stickles on the leaves and flowers.

 

Inside of card.

Cricut Christmas Kitsch is used for the Merry Christmas sentiment. I cut it 3.50" wide.

Santa

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Twas a few days before Christmas and I am still playing with the Cricut! This card is cut using a stripe paper from Craft Smith Olde Time Christmas paper pad. While shopping recently I saw this pretty paper pad and just had to buy it. It has a linen look to the paper. Guess I have a weakness for papers! Maybe Santa will bring more papers!

Cricut Cartridge:

Christmas Kitsch - Santa Card is cut 19.16 wide x 7" high. This size includes an envelope. When folded the card will measure 5 1/2" high x 4 1/4" wide. I added a Gelly roll pen doodling on the hat.

 Inside the card!

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the designer paper to line up with the front of the card.

The pretty stamp is from Cardz TV Home for Christmas which I won recently at CardZ TV. I think the stamp added the finishing touch. I used handcut mats--red larger mat is cut 3.25" x 2.25" and white mat is cut 3" x 2". In placing the sentiment mat, the mat should not be showing when the card is folded.

Outside of card.

Hope you enjoy the jolly Santa card! I made a similar card last Christmas. You can view it here.

I am back with another Christmas card! Playing along with a few challenges, the front of the card is mostly white. The card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". White Colorbok cardstock is used.

Cricut Cartridges: 

Christmas Kitsch - Snowman Simple Cut is cut at 2.88" wide 4.50" high. For the layer, I used a scrap of light blue patterned paper from Recollections Happy Holidays. I added a little inking on the snowman. Snowman is pop dotted on the card.

Inside of the card!

For the inside, I added a bit of color with the patterned paper from Happy Holidays paper pad. Merry Christmas which is also found on Christmas Kitsch cartridge is cut 3.75" wide. Love the font!

Red Hat Lady Birthday

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I made this card for one of my friends who is also a Red Hat Lady! It has been awhile since I have played with red and purple and I enjoyed working on this card!

Cricut Cartridges:

Christmas Kitsch - The present card is cut 5 1/2" from red Recollection paper and the liner is purple. It was fun to make this card using a different theme than Christmas. You may want to review some of the nice card features on the cartridges.

Heritage - Hat on stand is cut 3" wide.

Cricut Classic Font - It's Your Day is cut 2.07" wide x 2.28" high.

Storybook - Birthday Girl is cut 4.75" wide.

Cricut Christmas Kitsch - Santa

The card is cut from Recollections Happy Holidays at 5.5 inches. The paper is not double-sided but I cut a piece of the same paper to use inside of the card.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing more cards made with the Cricut Christmas Kitsch cartridge. The holly leaf card is on page 46 and is cut 5 inches which makes a 5 inch square card. I made an envelope for the card. Paper is from K&Company Visions of Christmas. I love the double-sided paper in this pad.

 Inside of card.

By reversing the remainder of the 12x12 sheet of double-sided paper, I made the following card using the same Cricut images.

Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you enjoy seeing these cards that are made with the same cartridge.

Cricut Christmas Kitsch - Holly Jolly Christmas and Ho Ho Ho

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

This is another card made using Cricut Christmas Kitsch. The card image is found on page 34 and is cut at 4.5 inches. Just a note about this image---Using the same size for cutting the layer images produces much larger images than the card size. I am unsure if this is just my cartridge or maybe all Christmas Kitsch cartridges. I use the Cricut Craft Room to layout my images so I was able to resize the layers to fit the card. Papers are from K&Company Yuletide pad that I have had for some time--in fact, this is my second pad of this same design.

The second card is on page 70 and is cut at 4.25. One thing I like about this cartridge is the recommended sizes are printed on the pages. I used coordinating solid papers for the words.

inside of card

Merry Christmas (page 88) is cut 2.5 inches. I think these cards turned out pretty using double-sided papers. The cards can be easily mailed.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch 147 Oh Christmas Tree

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for a fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Sue has chosen the theme "Oh Christmas Tree". She asked us to make a card/project for Christmas which must include a tree. I must say it has been over a year since I have participated in any challenges. I am happy to be playing again! Many thanks to Sheri and the design team for bearing with me during this difficult time.

Recently I received the Cricut Anna Griffin Christmas Kitsch cartridge. I enjoyed working with the pretty card features on this cartridge to make these cards.

The shaped tree card image 15 is found on page 29. Using pretty double sided paper allows for the look above. Oh Christmas Tree sentiment is from Cricut Winter Frolic.

Above card is the image 28 found on page 55.The word peace is found on Winter Wonderland cartridge.

I used image 29 for the deer/tree card which is found on page 57. Tis the Season is found on the Winter Frolic cartridge.
All cards were cut 5.5 inches. I used Christmas papers that were purchased a couple of years ago.

Visit the design team's blogs to see all their creative tree projects. Remember you must make a Christmas card/project which includes a tree. We look forward to seeing your pretty cards!
