Papers are from the scrap stash and I still see lots more paper in that stash. This all started with the frame!

Cricut Cartridges:

Disney Pooh and Friends - Snowflake frame is cut 5.6" wide x 5.25" high. This consists of 3 layers that I used - blue, white, and red. This is my first time to use this frame cut, and I am glad I did!

Christmas Kitsch - Snowman is cut 3" high. This snowman is the one for the shaped card in Design Space. I only cut the snowman because I wanted the layer colors for this image. Snowman is pop-dotted on card.

Happy Birthday Frog!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Monday was a very rainy day around my neck of the woods! Thankfully we were not in the hardest hit areas receiving 6" to 10" rain. My thoughts and prayers go out to those folks. 

My Cricut machine was busy working on a birthday card for a young boy. Card measures 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. Patterned papers and the white papers are Colorbok. I was inspired by the current challenge at BBTB2 to play with a frog!

Cricut Cartridges:

Disney Pooh and Friends - Balloon is cut 3" high.

Doodlecharms - Birthday hat is cut .78" wide, 1.07" high. I thought the little frog needed a hat!

Gypsy Wanderings - Happy birthday is used inside and cut 4.25" wide.

Paper Doll Dress Up - Frog is cut 3" high. We have so many green frogs around my house. One night recently, I was actually frog hunting in my kitchen...thought I never would get that green jumping critter outside! This Cricut frog image seemed best suited for my little fella!

Plantin Schoolbook - White oval is cut 3.17" wide, 4.22" high.

Something to Celebrate- Celebrate Banner is cut 3.75" wide.

Cuttlebug:

Swiss Dots - Balloon

Happy Birthday - White oval mat. The white oval mat is on an Action Wobble...just a bit more fun for the birthday boy! I was unable to get a photo of the wobble on the card. Each time I tried to capture the movement, the mat would be in place again.

Just a Note -- When I searched for Frog in the Cricut Explore Image search, the frog on Paper Doll Dress Up did not show up. I noticed the frog later while looking through the PDDU cartridge.

Winnie the Pooh

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have many Cricut images that I never seem to use. Today's card features some of those images that I chose to play with...Winnie the Pooh. The card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock layered with a Colorbok light blue paper for the background. Others papers are from stash.

Cricut Cartridge: 

Disney Pooh and Friends - Pooh's house is cut 6.2"w, 4.66"h. Pooh is cut 2.75"h. Pooh word is cut 1.5"w., grass is cut .75"h. I first cut a smaller Pooh Bear, but some of the intricate facial cuts did not do well. As Pooh would say "Think, think". I chose a bit larger size.

Cuttlebug folder - Kassies's Brocade is used on the tree for a bit of dimension and interest. As in cartoons, it does not have to be a plain tree!

Challenge:

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 213 - Kid theme- In honor of Cartoonist Day May 5th

Rainy Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We have been having several rainy days and more on the way. I decided to play along with a rainy day theme. The card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. I was inspired by the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I began the layers with the yellow solid cardstock and I continued with solid colors. This is not my usual style of papers--you know I love patterned papers--but I chose the solids this time. All the papers are from my scrap stack. My younger grandsons enjoy being outside on rainy days but they do not bother with any rain gear!!

Cricut Cartridges:

Everyday Paper Dolls - Boy wearing rain gear and the umbrella are layered together and is cut 3"h.

Disney Pooh and Friends -  Cloud and raindrops cut 3"w.  The cloud is used for the rain puddle. I failed to record the name of the cartridge for the gray cloud.

Cricut Font and Basic Shapes - Rainy Day is cut 1.74" w, 1.18" h.

Paisley - Heart button is cut 1" w. I added a bow with Sew Easy Fancy floss.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch# 71 - It's the Great Pumpkin

Hope you are having a beautiful Fall day! Today at My Sheri Crafts we start another fun challenge. Challenge # 71 is "It's the Great Pumpkin"! We are asked to use a pumpkin on the card or project and this can be Halloween or not. I chose to use a Fall theme for an upcoming birthday card that I will need.

Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cut from brown Recollections paper. Using papers of my stash from previous cards, I cut three strips and layered on top of the card. The dot patterned mat is cut at 3 1/8" x 4 1/2" and is layered over a brown 1" x 6" strip, then pop-dotted on the base of the card. Papers were from Recollections Autumn pad that I have had for some time.

Cricut cartridge is Pooh and Friends. The pumpkin image on page 44 is cut at 3 1/2".

I used a Studio G stamp for the birthday sentiment. Lots of inking, ribbon and gemstones from my stash complete my Fall birthday card.
