School Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am playing along with a few challenges today. It was fun checking all the available Back to School images in Cricut Access and then choosing some images that I have not used before. Card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". Papers are from my stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Wall Decor and More - 123 Card is cut 5.50" x 8.50" from the blue cardstock. First try with this cartridge. 

Chore Chart - Homework is cut 5.25" wide x 4" high from the paper with the lines. That image includes the book, pencil and white background. Also, first time using this cartridge.

Create A Friend - Back to School is cut 2.173" wide x 1.97" high and layered on the book.

Kate's ABC's - ABC flower is cut 1.317" wide x .744" high.

 As mentioned, this is my first try cutting the card. It is folded at the score line which lets the numbers stand up. I cut two of the inside liners for the card from the yellow. The second one is placed on the back side of card to cover the area where the numbers were cut out. Looks ok to me!

School Days Easel Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am combining some Back to School challenges using a sketch challenge! The patterned background paper is from Pressed Petals School Days. I have had this paper pack for a few years. Solid papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Elegant Edges - Using the base Scallop Doily Label image, I welded two labels together to make the card foundation for an easel card. The card was cut in white. Using the single image, I cut one from the patterned School Days paper and one from blue cardstock. The second patterned paper layer was cut using the the top layer image which makes the hole openings. It is layered over the blue cardstock.

Recess - Girl at desk is cut 2" high. Crayon border is also cut from this cartridge.

Beach Time

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are having very hot weather with more days of 100 degrees on the way! I am so thankful for my air conditioner! Inspiration for this card came from BBTB2 and its current challenge "Cool Down by the Sea". Using a search in Cricut Design Space, I chose this chair card image for my project. Papers are white Colorbok and left over pieces from other projects.

Cricut Cartridges:

Life is A Beach - Beach chair card is cut 8.50" wide, 5.9" high from the white cardstock. When folded the card measures approximately 4.25" x 6". A green patterned paper was cut for the chair. A blue sky paper was hand cut for the liner behind the opening. Image Set of 3 Sea gulls is cut 1.35" wide, 1.37" high. I used only one sea gull.

Summer Love - Beach girl is cut 2.10" wide 3.88" high.
