Thank You Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Looking through some of my older Cricut cartridges, I came across this card image. I do not know why I have never made the card before, but I decided it was time to try it. Card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Patterned papers are from Prima The Second Wind 12" x 12" paper pad.

Cricut Cartridges:

Damask Decor   - Damask Card is cut 8.50" wide x 5.50" high. 

Hopeless Romantic Font - I wanted to make this a Thank you card. Using the font, I cut the letters at 2.92" wide x .883" high. Letters were glued in the open space on front of card.

Inside the card:

Anna's Flourish Cards and Embellishments - Thoughtfulness sentiment is written on an inserted 4" x 4" square paper with the Cricut Midnight pen. Isn't that a pretty and meaningful sentiment!

Country Carnival - Country Rose is a print and cut image. Size measures 1.391" wide x 1.278" high. I think the flower printed out pretty.

I am happy with the results of the card!  Hope you enjoy!

Fall Birthday - Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is a lovely Fall Day in the neighborhood! I played with my Cricut Explore this morning to make this Fall Birthday card. Papers are leftover from previous projects. I have not bought any Fall paper for this season..yet! I have so many papers and paper pads that I am trying to stay out of the craft stores. Patterned papers are K&Company and solids are Recollection papers. Card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" when folded and is cut from cream Recollections card stock. I was inspired by the pretty Sketch 3 at CARDZ TV.

Cricut Cartridges:

Cricut Damask Decor - Pumpkin is cut 2.25" w x 1.97" h. An extra pumpkin image is cut at 2" wide to be used inside the card. I used only the pumpkin.

Using Insert Shapes in Cricut Design Space, I changed a square into 2.69" w x .59" h rectangle for the sentiment. Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder is used on the mat.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Birthday is written on the rectangle with the Cricut midnight pen.

Inside the card.

Using Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments, the sentiment Loving Thoughts is writtten on a 3.83" w x 3" h mat. The cream mat was cut using the Insert Shapes feature.

Challenges:

It has been a while since I have entered challenges. I am pleased with my Fall card. Hope you enjoy it too!

Stripe paper on the inside is from K&Company TC Halloween and Fall paper pad. I also added a small piece of the same paper at the top corners of the card under the pumpkin.

BBTB2 - All Shaped Up

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun and inspirational Cricut challenge at BBTB2!. Our talented design team sister Stephanie asked us to make a shaped card. Use any Cricut cartridge and any theme.

I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to play with Damask Decor and try one of the card features with the shaped front! I used Martha Stewart Holidays double-sided papers that were in my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Damask Decor - Page 70 - Card feature is cut at 5.5" in  CCR. Layer 1 is the dark green paper under the tree. The completed card measures 5.5" x 3.5". An envelope image is also available but I have not cut it yet.

Christmas/Noel - Seasons Greetings is cut .75" for the inside of the card.

 

Inside of card!

 

This is a simple card but I do like the results. Most of my actual time was spent on choosing which double-sided papers to use. But I always take a lot time choosing my papers! Maybe if I would quit buying papers, I would not have too many choices!

Be sure to visit BBTB2 and see all the pretty and creative card shapes by the design team. For more information on the projects, please visit the individual blogs! We love your comments!

We are looking forward to seeing your creations! Remember you must use the Cricut! Just a reminder that our challenges run for only one week so get crafting! One person would be chosen to receive the Project of the Week award!

BBTB2 - Birthday and Pearls

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Monday! It is time for another fun challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Stephanie is the hostess this week and she chose the theme Birthday and Pearls!

Many of the Cricut cartridges have a card feature with pretty and unique shapes. I chose to use a card feature for the base of my card for this challenge. Papers are K&Company double-sided papers which work really well for the card feature.

Cricut Cartridges:

Damask Decor - Page 64 - Gift. Using the Card Feature on shift, the image is cut at 5" for the card base. Card feature without shift is cut using another patterned paper for the top of the card.The gift shaped card will be a nice birthday card!

Wild Card - Page 61 - Phrase Happy Birthday is cut 6.5". This sentiment is seen inside the card. A personal message could be written on a mat and placed on left side of card.

Other supplies:

Seems like I am on a rosette kick lately! I wanted to dress up the front of the card and I found this small rosette which was too small for a prior project. It is made from papers from the same paper pack. Love these double sided papers because they coordinate so well! The rosette is cut 3/4" and measures 1 1/2" finished. I hand cut a small banner to place under the rosette.

Pearls are from my stash. Inking is Versa Magic Gingerbread.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 80 Warm Wishes

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Saturday everyone! It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 80 is Warm Wishes which is brought to you by design team member Sandy. With the weather being cold this time of the year, Sandy wants us to wish our friends warm thoughts and wishes. Some examples would be warm soup, baking, and hot cocoa! I chose to use a teapot for my project!

Cricut Cartridge:

Damask Decor - Page 61 Teapot card feature is cut at 5" using a pretty double-sided paper from K&Company! I used another co-ordinating paper from the same paper pad for the teapot layer which was cut at the same size. This card requires a larger size envelope. I was able to find an envelope in my stash that worked for mailing to my friend!

The rosette is 12" x 3/4" paper and is scored at each 1/4" using the Martha Stewart scoreboard. I found this pretty button in my stash and thought it would be perfect for the finishing touch on the rosette. The shank of the button was glued in the rosette opening.

The sentiment is a rub-on from my stash and is placed on a piece of vellum. Lots of inking and gold Stickles complete the look!

Be sure to visit My Sheri Crafts to see the lovely projects filled with "Warm Wishes" made by our guest designer and design team members. We love your visits and appreciate your comments! We look forward to seeing your projects. A guest designer will be chosen and several Ooh La La awards will be given!

I am playing again with Cricut Damask Decor. This time I chose the pretty cut for the pumpkin. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" and is layered with a plaid K&Comapny paper. This image can be found on page 68. I used the main images, Layer 1, and Layer 2 cut at 4 1/4".

Damask Decor Teapot Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! I am so excited to share my fabulous new blog design! I think this is perfect for a Red Hatter! Thank you so much Sheri at My Sheri Crafts. Sheri is such a sweet and talented friend! I love the design and colors! I appreciate and love everything about the new look!

I have seen so many beautiful cards made using the Cricut Damask Decor cartridge. Thank you ladies for sharing your work--I just had to buy the cartridge. As I was looking through the handbook and saw the teapot card, I knew this would be my first image to use!

The teapot is on page 61. Using the card feature and shift, I cut the card at 5" from a pretty double-sided K&Company paper. The teapot was cut 5" from a floral paper that is also in the pack.

I planned to cut the envelope but I cut the card too large... the 5" envelope would not fit on a 12x12 sheet of paper. Cut and learn!! lol  I have been working a little with Design Studio-finally--and I was able to hide the fold lines on the card! Yay for me! Next time though, I should try the envelope first!!

Needing a birthday card, I added the sentiment using a Michael's stamp. Flower is Recollections Mulberry Paper Flower. I added pearls for that special touch! Lots of inking!

I love the way this turned out! Hope the recipient will enjoy this card!
