Happy Birthday to You!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After doing yard work yesterday morning, I needed a break in the craft room. Playing around with pretty patterned paper from Craft Smith Tea Party, this is what happened! Recollection solid papers and Recollections Shimmer Cardstock White Gold papers were used on card. White card measures 6 1/2" x 5".

Elegant Edges - Square Lace Edge Frame sized to 2.5" wide x 3.111" high for the light and dark pink paper frame.

I love the way this turned out! Hope you enjoy!

Folded Paper Frame Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Folded Paper Frame card that I made using the tutorial at Split Coast Stampers. The frame starts with a 4 1/4" square of patterned paper. I chose pretty double-sided patterned papers from a K&Company pad which were left over from previous projects.  After scoring and folding, the square adds a 3D effect to the card. My cream card stock card measures 5" x 6 1/2".

 

Of course, I had to add pretty Cricut images to my card!

Cricut Cartridges:

Flower Shoppe - The flower is cut at 2", 1.75", 1.50", 1.25", and 1". After a spritz of water and partial drying, I slightly bent and curled the petals to form the flower. A gold gemstone is glued in the middle of the flower. I think the flower looks good in the frame.

Birthday Cupcake

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With a fast approaching birthday for my Mom, I  wanted to try a new card style. Browsing through card tutorials at SplitCoastStampers, I chose the Flap Fold Card. I do not have a 2 1/2" circle punch or die, so my thoughts turned to my Cricut machine. Maybe I could make the card with it! Well, this is my results! Card is cut 4.25" x 11" from blue DCWV textured cardstock. Using Cricut Design Space, I added score lines at the 2.5" and 6.75", then added a 2.50 " circle to cut the opening in my card. From there, it was playing with Cricut images to complete the card!

Cricut Cartridges:

Love You A Latte - Strawberry Cupcake is cut 1.25" wide and is pop-dotted on the scallop circle.

Elegant Edges - Circle Scallop is cut 2.3" wide x 2.28" high.

Once Upon a Princess - Cupcake Heart is cut 1.75" wide. It is pop-dotted on the card to hold the flap down.

Elegant Embellishments - Birthday is cut 2.25" wide.

Straight From the Nest - Cupcake corner is cut 2" wide. This was cut to use on the flap, but it seemed too large. Since it was cut, I added it on the inside sentiment mat. A hand written sentiment will be added.

Martha Stewart Daisy Dots was used for the decorative edge on the flap.

Music card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I was able to play with my Cricut Explore this afternoon after several days of being away from home. My Mom had knee replacement last Tuesday and I stayed at the hospital with her. Surgery went well and she is improving daily. She is now doing more therapy closer to our home.

I missed playing along with some of my favorite challenges last week. This card is 5" x 6 1/2" cut from green cardstock. Patterned papers are The Paper Studio Girls Live to Rock.

Cricut Cartridges:

Elegant Edges - Circle Frame is cut 3" wide from a yellow sheet of the Paper Studio pad. There are shades of yellow on the frame. Because I wanted to place the frame on the patterned mat, I handcut the pink paper for the black out of the frame.

Nifty Fifties - Record group is cut 2.25"h. Cuttlebug Script folder is used on the small yellow piece on the record for a little dimension...not seen well in my photo.

A Folk Art Festival Clock

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been hibernating in my craft room for the past few days while my area has been dealing with wintry weather. Thankfully it was rain/sleet/snow and no freezing rain so we had no problems with electricity outage. I did not see a snowflake at my house, but some areas close by received 2-3 inches of snow. Snow is seldom seen where I live, so I know there were excited children who were seeing snow for the first time and some of the older folks were just as excited too! I probably would have built a snowman or snowlady!

What better way to pass my time than to play with my Cricut Explore! My card measures  5" x 6 1/2" and is white cardstock. The pretty pattern papers are from DCWV Pressed Petals paper pack.

Cricut Cartridges:
Folk Art Festival -Clock is cut 2.50"h.
Elegant Edges - Scallop Mats are cut 3.5" h. from brown Recollections paper and a beige paper from the paper pack. I hand cut the rectangle white and brown mats.
Home Decor - Memories cut 2.75"w. I debated on the sentiment to use on my card with the clock. Sometimes we think we have all the time in the world, but soon that particular time or event becomes a memory. Thinking of sweet memories, this could be used as an anniversary card or maybe a birthday card.
Cuttlebug:
Houndstooth folder on the brown scallop mat.
Dotted Swiss on the white mat.

A small crochet doily and pearls finish the look.

I used some of the left over patterned papers for the inside of the card. I will add the sentiment later.

Day 12 - Valentines

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing another Valentine card. Now this is my type of Valentines--pinks and chocolates!! Images are cut using the Cricut Explore and Design Space. The card is white cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". The pretty chocolate candy patterned paper is from K&Company Cupid Speciality paper pad. I love K&Company double-sided paper. All the Valentine paper that I have been using is some that I have had for a few years and I have plenty more Valentine paper!

Cricut Cartridges:

Valentine's Sweets digital set - Box of chocolates cut 3.25"h.This is one of those images that I just had to have--knew it would work good with the paper. Have you ever bought something just to use on one certain paper!!

Elegant Edges - White and pink mats. Love the cut out hearts on this image. Mat was cut 4"h.

Doodlecharms - Heart charm. This image is found on page 85 of handbook. I cut it at 1.75"h.

I am still trying to learn new things about the Explore. For the heart charm, I used the word box, Cricut Alphabet and Cricut wine pen to write the word Love on the white heart. I think it turned out good!

To attach the heart charm, I attached memory thread to the heart, formed a heart with the thread and wrapped it around the pink gemstone. EK corner punch was used for the corner papers.

Inside of card.

Cricut Valentine's Sweets was used for Happy Valentine's Day seen inside the card. Can you see that it is four layers to this image? The chocolate candy on the white mat was part of the Valentine's Sweet box of chocolate.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 116 Back to School

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today is the start of a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! It is my turn to choose the theme for the challenge. With the start of a new school year fast approaching for my grandkids, I began thinking of school projects. Challenge 116 is Back to School! Include a school bus or school house! It must be school related!

For my project I chose to make a 12" x 12" scrapbook page! The paper pack is DCWV School Days. The white background sheet was trimmed down 1/4" on each side and layered on the red dot paper. I cut out the middle section of the red dot paper and used that part for the border cuts on the photo area. Just a way of using more of the paper! The sketch is my play with a Page Maps Nov. 2011 sketch.

 

Cricut Cartridges:

Elegant Edges - Page 25 Border on shift cut 2.25" from the solid red paper. Page 47 Border on shift cut 1.25" and the second one cut at .50" from the red dot paper.

Nate's ABC's - Page 22 Bus is cut 1.5"

Other supplies include the yellow Baker's Twine on the photo mat and 3rd grade is a sticker from the stash. I started scrapbooking before Cricut so now I have two drawers of stickers that are being forgotten. Time to use some! 

After the first day of school photo is placed on the photo mat, my grandson will print his name under the photo. A perfect way to preserve his handwriting at that age!

Be sure to visit My Sheri Crafts and see all the pretty projects by the design team and our guest designer. For more details, please visit each individual blog. We appreciate you leaving us blog love!

Now it is your turn to play along with us! We look forward to seeing your school projects. One person will be chosen to be our next guest designer and several Ooh La La awards will be given.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun and inspiring challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 100 is It's A Wrap--all about decorating packages, bags, or tags for Christmas! Several months ago, I purchased Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2 cartridge. This was the perfect time for me to try out one of the images that inspired me to buy the cartridge. I thought the tea cup would be a wonderful gift/container for friends!

The tea cup and saucer are on page 29.  I cut it at the recommended size of 9"  from a piece of K&Company Yuletide double sided Christmas paper.

Using Cricut Elegant Edges, I cut the snowflake image on page 47 at 2.87" and used it as a doily on the saucer.

Other supplies include Making Memories paper poinsettias that I have had for several years. Inking is Versa Magic Gingerbread.



 More tea cups!
