Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 326 Sci Fi

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas! Ch. 326 is Sci Fi (Aliens, UFO, Space).  I had no idea what I would make until I found this cute spaceship image in Cricut Design Space. I am using papers from the stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Crazy Cute Cards - Spaceship Card is cut 25.68" wide x 11.095" high. Size includes the envelope. Finished card size measures 9.75" high. 

Stencil - Blast off is cut 1.50" wide x . 699" high. 

Card opened.

Just a simple card, but I think it turned out cute! I have no need for this card at present time, but Happy Birthday or any appropriate sentiment can be added on the black section. Great for a younger guy or maybe an older guy!

Today begins a new fun challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Ch. 313 is Any Shape Card! 

As you know, I use my Cricut Explore machine a lot. Cricut cartridges and Cricut Access have a variety of shaped cards. The hardest part is selecting which card to try! I chose a card that I have not made previously. Papers are Recollections and White Colorbok.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 190 Travel

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! I am the hostess for this challenge and have chosen Ch. 190 - Travel. All you have to do is add a way of travel on your card or project. This can be a car/truck, bicycle, airplane, or any means of transportation. 

I enjoy using my Cricut Explore. When I first saw this image, I knew that I would have to try it!

Cricut Cartridges:

Crazy Cute Cards - Station Wagon Christmas Card is cut at 21.26" x 10.29". This cartridge is available in Cricut Access. I used the  recommended size for the image found on the handbook page. This size does include the envelope. Handbook states the Finished Card height is 3". The actual height is 4 1/2" which includes the attached tree. Finished envelope measures 4 3/4" x 9 5/8". Papers are from my stash stack.   

Wild Card - Merry Christmas is cut 3" wide x 1.22" high. This is used inside the card. I placed the words at a lower position on the card so they are not seen through the open part of the windows.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 185 Down at the Beach

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are back with another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Our talented design team sister Sue has chosen the theme for Ch. 185 Down at the Beach. She asked that we make a project with a beach, seaside theme. Looking through recently added images in Cricut Design Space, I chose to do this beach chair set using pink, purple and white papers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Crazy Cute Cards - Beach Day Card is cut 21.01" x 23.45". Because this is my first time to use the images, I viewed the online handbook for the measurements and instructions. This size includes the chair, beach bag, and envelope. Finished size for envelope measures 5.5". I tried to follow the pictures for assembling the chair. I think it is done correctly--looks ok to me!

Summer Love - Beach Sign is cut 4.5" wide.

When I Was a Kid - Beach Day is cut 4.50" wide. This is used inside the beach bag. I left space for a personal note.

Cricut Spring Flower Pot Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

While searching through recently added images in Cricut Design Space, I noticed this pretty card and just had to try it. I chose to use similar colors as in the displayed card, but added my own touches! Paper is from Colorbok Cardstock 8.5" x 11" paper pad which has been in my stash for several years. 

Cricut Cartridges:

Crazy Cute Cards -  Spring Flower Pot Card is cut 27.10" wide x 10.73" high. This is my first time to see this image so I searched for information in the Cricut digital handbook. Cutting size and assembly instructions are listed. The cutting size also includes an envelope which requires larger sheet of paper than the pad I was using. I will mail my card in a white envelope.

Stamping - Just For You is cut 1.57" wide x 1.09" high.

For the finishing touches on the flower inserts, I used Mary's sentiments from CardzTV Encouraging Thoughts. The pretty Crinkle ribbon bow is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Love using my recent wins from Mary and Karen!

Hopefully I have all of this folded correctly....anyway, it looks like I do! Love that the card will stand!
