Easter Cards

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have looked at many images in Cricut Design Space trying to decide what I wanted to put on an Easter card. Remembering an Anna Griffin Cut and Emboss folder in my stash, this is what I decided to do. I liked the design so well, that I chose to make 2 similar cards using the same Cuttlebug folder. Cards measures 5" x 7" cut from Recollections cardstock.

Cuttlebug: Anna Griffin Mix and Match Embossing Folders and Dies -Calligraphy Frame and Happy Easter folder. I used Recollections Shimmer Cardstock White Gold for the embossed mat.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 183 Tags, Tags, and more Tags

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are back with a new fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Raquel chose Ch. 183 Tags, Tags, and More Tags. She asked that we make a project that features a tag. I seldom make tags, but after viewing the Diagonal Double Pocket Card tutorial at Split Coast Stampers, I knew the card would be a good way to include tags!

The card starts with a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper. I used pretty double sided papers from K&Company Sweet Nectar paper pad. The tutorial that I followed does not allow for the card to be opened. However instructions are given so the card can be opened. With the enclosures for the tags, I like the way that I made the card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Lacy Labels - Thinking of you label is cut 3" wide.

Gypsy Wanderings - Cupcake tag is cut 3.75" high.

Sentimentals - Tag is cut 2.25" wide x 3.75" high. I added another layer cut at 2.34" wide x 3.86" high for a shadow cut. Using the Add Text feature, Happy Birthday was printed on the tag using the Pink Crystal Pen.

Create a Critter- Flower is cut .95" wide x .74" high. The flower is added on the Happy Birthday tag.

The two tags shapes were also cut from cream paper. I glued that paper to the back of tags so a space to write a personal message will be available.

Pearls and ribbon from my stash were used to complete the card.

 View with tags lifted.

Visit My Sheri Crafts to see all the pretty tag projects by the design team. For more information, please visit our individual blogs and don't forget to leave us some love! Now it is turn to play along with us. We look forward to seeing all the pretty tag projects!

Easter Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

The past week has been really busy. With all the recent heavy rains and flooding in our area, I have moved my parents in my house with me. Water should not go into their house, but the road became impassable last Saturday. Water had been rising 6 inches daily, but the last couple of days only 4 inches each day. Predictions are for the nearby river to crest on Thursday. Even with that date, it will probably still be several weeks before they can return home. Many acres of farmland are under water and lot of that land had already been planted with corn crops. Several families have moved out from the low-lying areas. My Cricut playing has been limited, but I hope to be playing more in the upcoming days.

I wanted to make a small Easter box for candy and to use as decoration. Since I have not bought any Easter candy, I am using peppermint in it now. Papers are from the pastel scrap stash. I decorated each side of the box using Cricut images. Eight cartridges were used!

Cricut Cartridges:

Cindy Loo - Basket is cut 11.50" wide.

Classroom April- May - Happy Easter is cut 2.75" wide. A piece of acetate is glued to the sentiment to hold in the box.

Create A Critter - Rabbit is cut 2.25" high.

Easter 2010 - Chick is cut 2.25" high. 

Easter Magic - Blue, yellow, lavender egg is cut 2.25" high.

Teresa Collins - Bunnies and Chicks - bunnies and chicks border is cut 2.90" wide x .30" high

Pink twine from Diana at DL.ART is used for the four bows on each corner. Thank you Diana for my recent win!

Dressed Up Turkey

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Inspired by the current challenge at BBTB2, I began a search in Cricut Design Space for a turkey. I chose to dress this 3D turkey for dinner! Glad to see the blog is back with challenges!

Papers are from Prima The Second Wind. I wanted to use pretty Fall colors to make a fancy bird. I like how this turned out!

Cricut Cartridges:

A Spring Garden

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are still having a wet Spring, but those Spring showers bring May flowers! I played with my Cricut Explore to create a little garden scene. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. All papers are from the scrap stack - a good way to use to all those smaller papers for these smaller cuts.

Cricut Cartridges:

April Showers - Phrase "Spring Garden" is cut 2.50"w.

Celebrate with Flourish - Sun/Cloud is cut 3"w.

Create a Critter - Tulips cut 1.50"h., Butterfly is cut .75"w.

Freshly Picked - Garden Gate is cut 2.50"h., Hoe is cut 2"h., Hat is cut 1.25"w.

I enjoyed creating the little Spring Garden. Working with the Cricut Explore makes it very easy to find the images. Although, I do take a lot of time choosing which image is better for my purpose--so many pretty images to choose from! I would like to work in my flower beds but we had rain during the night. Now I hear thunder! Maybe a day to play with the Explore!!

Challenges:

Down on the Farm Scene

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Mother's Day! Hope you are having a great day!

It was a rainy day here on Saturday. After housecleaning and laundry, I was able to play with my Cricut and design this card with the farm scenes. This really took a lot of time with the cutting and layering but I am happy with the results. I enjoy living in the country and enjoy the country scenes!

The card is cut from a piece of white Colorbok cardstock at 8" x 9" and  folded in half to make a 4" x 9" tall card. The background paper is Recollections Light Blue Distressed. I was happy to find this in my stash and thought it would be good for the sky. All other papers are from my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Country Life - Looks like I am showcasing this cartridge as I added many of the images to the card.

Page 43 and 44 - Hen 1 and Hen 2 cut 1.25". I first cut the images smaller but the paper kept tearing in the Cricut so I had to increase the size.

Page 52 - Apple tree cut 2.75

Page 58 -  Barn cut 2.75"

Page 58 - Phrase Down On The Farm cut 1".

Page 63 - Windmill cut 2.50". Of course it had to be cut in yellow and green!

Page 72- Countryside on shift cut 2"- one was cut on flip. This is the greenery at the bottom of card. Using the layer1 on shift, cut two greenery at 1".

Page 73 - Wildflower image on shift for the green grass cut 1.5". This is the 2 light green grasses at fence.

Create a Critter

Page 29 - Sun cut 1.5"

Page 69 - Red Flowers (Accessory key) cut 1.5"

I used lots of inking which was a tough job with the smaller pieces. I had more on my fingers than on paper!

Challenges:

My Craft Spot - Ch 55 - Down on the Farm (farm animals, barn, country, etc.)

Simply Crafts -  Create a Critter Cartridge - Sun

Hope you enjoy my card!

Double Twisted Easel Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am happy to share my very first Double Twisted Easel Card. Yay! Another card style marked off my "To Do" list! Several tutorials can be found on You Tube. Thank you Kimmy for the video you share!

The card started with a 8" x 8" piece of dark green cardstock. I used a pretty shamrock paper for the layers. A different shade of green is used for the shamrocks and mat base.

Cricut Cartridges:

Simply Charmed - Page 32- Leprachaun 1 is cut 2.75". Page 33 Pot of Gold is cut at 2.75".

Elegant Edges - Page 62- Image Clover and shadow cut at 3.25".

Create a Critter - Page 58 - Phrase Lucky is cut 1".

A Child's Year - Page 31- Icon feature on shift for the Shamrock. It is cut 1".

Cuttlebug:

Script Folder used on the white mats behind the leprachaun and pot of gold.

Divine Swirls - Leprachaun's hair. Swiss Dots on the hat, jacket, and the black pot.

For a bit of interest, my little guy has green eyes. I placed a small piece of green paper under the eye cuts and added a bit of red for the mouth. He is pop-dotted for dimension. The shamrock is also pop-dotted and placed under his hand to look as though he is holding it!

The pot of gold is a bit large but don't we envision big pots of gold!! I also made a smaller version but decided to use the larger size. I think it resembles the rainbow fading in the distance! How do you like my gold! I used some Recollections gemstones!

I chose to use the clover image from Elegant Edges for its shape for the white and green mats. This piece is pop-dotted and is used to hold the two easel stands in place. Green buttons are from my stash. I used a white pen for the stitching on the word Lucky! Pretty gingham bows complete the look.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! It is Monday again and that means it is time for another fun challenge at Fantabulous Cricut. This week our challenge is all about 3" x 3" Valentiney cards. Yes, that means a tiney card. I cut my card from red cardstock at 3" x 6" and when folded in half, it measures 3" x 3". This is the first time that I have made such a small card, but I am pleased with the look.

We are happy to have Emma at My Creative Time as our sponsor this week. She has so generously let some of the designers use some of her stamps for today's projects. Thank you Emma for your kindness and the opportunity! My stamp set is Classmate Valentines. I chose the cute Happy Valentine's Day Teacher stamp and the apple stamp to go with it.

Card for a Red Hat Lady

This card is for a Red Hat Lady who hosted a party for our group this afternoon. The original date of the Valentine party was cancelled because of the bad weather back then. Our group enjoys getting together so we do not mind if the party was after Valentine's Day. This morning as I was making the card, I was trying to incorporate a cut from Cricut Create A Critter so I could enter the card in a challenge.

Patti at Patti-Lynn Creations  and her sister, Linda at Lindascreativity are hosting a new Monday challenge called Creative Sisters Challenge Monday. Linda is hosting the current challenge which is to use Create A Critter. Be sure to check out their websites for the fun challenges and details! I think maybe one day is left to enter this challenge.

Are you surprised to see no critters on my card? But I did use Create A Critter! The Love stamp is found on page 67 and is cut at 3 1/2 inches. Red Hat ladies love red purses, of course, so I chose the purse cut on page 47. This is the page with the zebra! The purse is cut at 2 1/2 inches. The flower is also on page 47 and cut at 2 1/2 inches. I used the Cuttlebug folders Hearts and Swiss Dots on the mats behind the stamp.

The purple strip along the lower edge is made with the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Trim punch. Lots of inking and a few gemstones from my stash! Gotta have the bling!! The Red Hat Society paper is from K&Company which a friend gave me a few years ago. Love that pack of paper!

Our hostess loved the card! Hope you enjoy it too!

Flaunt It Friday Hello Kitty Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to the Flaunt It Friday's Hello Kitty Blog Hop! If you are here from Jenny Johnson, then you are in the right spot. If you just arrived here and would like to start from the beginning please go directly to Flaunt It Fridays. For this week's challenge we were asked to flaunt the Hello Kitty with Airplane on Page 65 from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cart.

I am so excited to be participating in Flaunt It Friday Hello Kitty Greetings Blog Hop with Janis, Sandra, and the talented design team. We were asked to flaunt the airplane cut from Cricut Hello Kitty but I do not have that cartridge. Wanting to play along, I am using the airplane cut on page 66 from Everyday Paper Dolls. My project is an altered gift bag that I decorated with a Valentine's theme. The white strips are cut using the Martha Stewart Lace Heart edge punch and glued to my patterned paper background. I cut the airplane at 2 3/4 inches using a patterned paper. Ballons are cut 2, 2 1/2, and 3 inches from Create a Critter page 49. The phrase Special Delivery is also cut from Create a Critter page 67 at 1 1/2 inch. Wanting to add a bit of interest to the balloons, I chose Love Struck 2010 for the heart words. A bit of lace and gemstones from my stash and my altered bag is ready for gift giving!

For my second project, I made a tag for the gift bag. The tag is the Smitten Kitten cut on page 45 from Sweethearts cartridge and is cut 3 3/4 inches. The reverse of the tag is the Heart tag on page 32 from the same cartridge. I cut a strip of white paper using the Martha Stewart Heart Lace punch and glued it between the two tags.

 Now how about a little blog candy!!

This pretty pack of Colorbok paper has 30 (8 1/2X11 in) papers, 134 stickers, and 74 punch-outs. Also included is a package of Favorite Findings buttons. All you must do to qualify to win my Blog Candy is to leave a comment of this post. You do not have to be a follower, but of course, I would love it if you were!

Please leave a way to contact you. USA mailing address only.

Our hop will run all weekend long and I will chose the winner for my blog candy on Monday Jan. 10th.

You must leave a comment on everyone's blog to have a chance to win the Grand Prize Giveaway which is the Love Always stamp set sponsored by Pink By Design. The grand prize will be on Sandra's blog!

Turkey Talk!!



Hi everyone! Welcome to my new followers!

This week at Jitterbuggin', Sketch 24, Let's Talk Turkey, the feature is the turkey! We are to follow the sketch, add a Cricut turkey, and add a button or two or three---

For my turkey, I used the Cricut Cartridge Create a Critter cutting it at 3 inches. To add dimension, I embossed the turkey with the Cuttlebug folders Swiss Dots and Houndstooth. Added a bow and eyes from my stash. Hmm, maybe this dressed up turkey does not realize what is for lunch!!

For the sentiment, I used Lacy Labels for Thanks and the scallop backgrounds.

Reminded of words to a beautiful Thanksgiving song we sing at church, I used the Script cuttlebug folder to emboss the background mat. May we all be reminded daily of our many blessings!!

I recently bought the pretty paper at HL...thought it would be perfect for this card, but almost covered it! Cannot see the cute turkey that is also printed on the paper!!

Challenges:

Jitterbuggin' - Turkey, buttons

BBTB2       - Give Thanks / Thanks

Autumn Days/CAC Owl



I am loving Fall --- well until all the leaves have fallen and then I have to rake!

This card is made using the sketch at Jitterbuggin' this week. The challenge is all about owls! The sketch is optional, but we must include a circle and a square somewhere on the card, add an owl, and a cricut cut.

The card is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 cut from brown cardstock. I added layers using some pretty fall papers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Create A Critter - Owl is cut 2 1/4 inches using several papers; circle is cut 3 1/4 inches and again at 3 inches; Branch is cut 1 1/4 inches.

I handcut the corners to add a different paper on the square. Autumn Day is from my treasure chest but the included ribbon was not the colors I needed. I removed the ribbon and cut a piece of the paper and run it through the metal emblem. I like the look now.

Lots of inking and pop-dotted the owl!

Challenges:

Hope you enjoy this one!! Thanks for your comments!

Bluebird of Happiness

Good morning! Today I am sharing my little bluebird of happiness! See all the bling! Hope the card will bring a smile!

I am excited to enter this card at a new challenge blogspot M.A.G. Challenge By The Page. Melissa, Adrian, and Gloria selected Cricut Cartridge Create A Critter page 45 for this week's challenge. Only circut cuts from the selected cartridge and page listed can be used on the card. Everything else can be embellishments. The choices on the selected page include a bird and alligator. When I saw the little bird, I knew that I wanted to make a bluebird.

Card is 6 1/2 X 5 white cardstock.

Cartridges:

Create A Critter - Bird is cut 2 1/2 inches; Grass is cut 1 inch; Hearts cut 1 3/4 inches; and Smile is cut 1 inch in white and again in blue to offset it since there is no shadow cut for the word.

Paper:

My Minds Eye Home Glitter Book - I love all the glitter on these papers... adds a lot of bling!!

Colorbok Textured Cardstock for the white.

Recollections gemstone for the eye and added a pretty blue flower.

Martha Stewart -- Edge punch and inks

Limited use of Cricut cuts really does challenge me and I enjoyed making this card!! Hope I have the cartridge for the upcoming challenge!!

Happy World Card Making Day everyone!

Recently my Red Hat Sisters and I enjoyed a day of fun and shopping in the historic downtown district of our Main Street Community. At one of the shops we were greeted with a fabulous presentation of food and drinks. A little birdie told the lady we would be dropping by! That was so sweet of her!

Using a sketch from RAQ'S Inspirational Challenge 9/29-10/6, my card is a Thank You card for this friend! I enjoy doing fun cards with a Red Hat theme using Cricut cuts and Cuttlebug folders! I just received Cricut Create a Critter cartridge and knew the cow would be a perfect cut for a collector!

Cricut Cartridges:
Create a Critter- Cow cut 2 1/2 inches. This is my first cut using this cartridge and I found that Layer 1 and Layer 2 are reversed on the cuts. Hope other cuts are not this way! Finally cut a cow!!
Everyday Paper Dolls - Hat cut 3 3/4 inch.
Paper Doll Dress Up - Grass cut 1 1/2 inch; Fence cut 1 1/2 inch

A Child's Year - Sweet Balloon cut 4 inch in Red and handcut purple to go under it.

Lovely Floral---Another new cart! Thank you cut 2 1/4 inch in green and shift at the same size in red.

Cuttlebug folders:
Swiss Dots - Hat
Diamonds in the Rough -- Purple background
Houndstooth - Fence

Martha Stewart: Ink and Daisy Dot Edge Punch (small flowers on background are the cutouts from a previous card)
Added a bow using DMC thread to tie the balloon to the cow's tail. Pop-dotted the fence.
