Fall Decorated Plate

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Recently I have been playing with a few vinyl projects. I bought this pretty charger plate at Hobby Lobby and wanted to decorate it with vinyl for a Fall decorating project. Of course, I used my Cricut Explore to cut the images from vinyl.

Cricut Cartridges:

Simply Scarecrows - Happy Harvest is cut 6" wide x 4.07" high.

Thanksgiving - Pie Box - I ungrouped the image and cut only the pumpkin. It is cut at 1.75" wide x 1.60" high.

Designer's Calendar - Leaves are cut 1.50' wide, 1.25" wide and 1.00" wide.

Vinyl is from CraftEVinyl.

I am pleased with the finished project! My biggest problem was trying to get a good photo because the plate has such a glossy sheen to it!

Happy Easter

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Easter! Hope you are having a blessed day! Let us rejoice! Thank you Jesus!

I am sharing one last Easter card. I have not had much free time for crafting, but I did want to try this image on a card. My card is white card stock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". Patterned paper and solid papers were in my scrap stash.

The Chocolate Easter Egg is a SVG freebie from Miss Kate Cuttables. 

I cut the image on my Cricut Explore at 3.75" high. I have only used SVG files a couple of times and this image cut really well. I used similar colors as shown on the display image. Thanks 

Miss Kate Cuttables for the free image. I like the way it turned out.

Cricut Cartridge Designer's Calendar is used for the word Easter. It is cut 1.25" high.

The pretty sketch at Paper Play Sketches is the foundation of my card. I changed the position for the sentiment but with sketches, it is fun to have your own play on the sketch!

Pretty yellow twine from Diana at DL.ART is the perfect finish for my card. Thanks Diana for my recent win!

Shamrock Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With all the pretty Make It Now projects available in Cricut Design Space, I find it hard to decide which one to try first. With St. Patrick's Day fast approaching this week and needing one more card,  I chose to use this pretty Shamrock Card. Card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and is cut from white card stock. Patterned papers are DCWV Fresh Floral Stack.

Cricut Cartridges:

Make It Now Shamrock Card-- I followed the instructions given for the cutting and some of the assembly. Two shamrocks are cut. Edges of the top shamrock are slightly curled inward and then it is placed on the second shamrock using foam squares. The button is added with DMC embroidery thread and then I made a small bow. I made a goof with one of the shamrocks and cut two more. I added the extra one inside the card.

Family Album - Wanting to add a bit more interest to the top of card and make it my card, I added the small pendants and clover from the Lucky Scrapbook Page. After ungrouping the images, the pendants were cut at 1.50" wide x 1.33"high. Note: These images are not included with the Make It Now instructions.
Designer's Calendar - St. Patrick's Day is cut 3" wide. This is used inside the card!

I cut the plaid background paper at 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and the white background paper at 5 1/8" x 3 7/8". 

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder is used on the white paper.

Iris Folding Clover

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been quite some time since I added Iris Folding on a card and I wanted to play with all that folded paper. My first Iris Folding card can be found Here. I searched through my papers for patterned St. Patrick's Day papers for the clover but found only two papers. I chose to go with different shades of solid green. Card is 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" cut from green card stock.

Cricut Cartridges:

Designer's Calendar - Using Cricut Design Space, I cut the clover shape opening in the white paper at 2.75" wide. I used the free square template at Circle of Crafters for the placement of the different colors of paper on the clover. This pattern has been donated to the public domain.

Basic Shapes - White layer is cut 4" wide x 5.25" high.

Phrases - Happy St. Patrick's Day is cut 3.75" wide.

A Memory Thread bow and green rhinestones are added for a finishing touch to the card. With all the folded papers under the openings, it does make the card a bit bulky.
