Die Cuttin' Divas - Ch. 316 Feminine in honor of all Mothers

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas! Mother's Day is fast approaching and for Ch. 316 we ask that your card/project be Feminine in honor of all Mothers. My card is 5" x 7" cut from white cardstock. This will be my first Mother's Day without my Mother. She went to her Heavenly home in February.

Die Cuttin' Divas - Ch. 300 Blue and Silver

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas. Ch. 300 is Blue and Silver with any die cut. 

I am playing with Cuttlebug folders and dies that were in a recently purchased Cricut Mystery Box. My card measures 5" x 7" and is cut from silver cardstock. The blue paper is from Colorbok Pearlescent Paper pad.

Cuttlebug:

Anna Griffin Mix and Match Folders and Dies - I used the Versailles Frame on the 5" x 7" blue pearlescent paper. The Get Well Soon die was used on the silver paper. The frame is pop-dotted on the silver card. This set has 4 beautiful frames and 12 sentiment dies. I can play for awhile with all these goodies!

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Elegant Embellishments 2 - The tulip flower is cut 2" wide x 2.2" high. This is my first time to use this pretty image. Actually it is only the second image of this recently purchased cartridge that I have cut. I do like the way it turned out! I added a blue crinkle ribbon on the flower. Thanks Karen at Little Scrap Pieces for the pretty ribbon.

For the inside of the card:

Anna's Elegant Embellishments - The tag image is cut 4.24" x 4.24" from the blue and silver paper.

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.

Elegant Embellishments - Butterfly is cut 2" wide using 4 patterned papers.

Anna's Flourish Cards and Embellishments - Perfect Day Sentiment is printed with the Cricut Copper Pen on an inserted rectangle shape. 

Elegant Edges - Heart scallop rectangle label is cut 4.53" wide.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Mother's Day sentiment is written on the heart scallop rectangle label with the Cricut Copper Pen. This image is used inside the card.

Needing a couple of Get Well cards, I have been playing with my Cricut and some pretty Anna Griffin images. I made two cards using the same focal image on each card but with a little mix of the colors and sentiment tags. Each card measures 5" x 6 1/2".

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Butterfly and Flower background is cut 4.75" using shades of purple.

For the inside sentiments, I used Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments - Warmest Wishes- on each card.

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.

Inside of card!

Challenges:

My Sheri Crafts Ch.164 Long Time No See

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Saturday everyone! It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Raquel has chosen Ch. 164 - Long Time No See! She asked that we create any project that falls into the category of Hello, Thinking of you, Miss You, etc.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments -  I cut the card using Cricut Design Space Make It Now feature. The card measures 5" x 7". Papers are white Colorbok and the Paper Company Purple/Lt. Purple double sided paper. This is a very pretty paper with different fiber colors running through it. You may see a bit of red.

I choose to add two extra mums which are cut from the dark purple, layered on white. These flowers were placed down the center of the card.

Elegant Embellishments - Tag is cut 3.50" wide from the purple paper and 3.34" wide from the white paper. Using the Write feature in Cricut Design Space, Thinking of You was written on my selected tag.

Note: The Make It Now photo of the card shows a sentiment and tag, but those images are not given in the Make It Now instructions. 

Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch is used on the strip in center of card.

Anna's Garden Flourish Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

This is a pretty card image found on Cricut Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments. The card is cut from white Colorbok cardstock and the red paper is Recollections. Card is cut 9.96" wide x 7" high. It is called Flourish Card on the cartridge. I think this is such a pretty cut! I chose not to add any images to the face of card. It is a get well card to be mailed.

Inside the card, I used one of the pretty sayings found on the same cartridge. I used the Write feature with the Cricut Explore to write the sentiment on the white mat. The flourish is found on Cricut Elegant Embellishments.

I like this card so well that I wanted one in pink!

Solid pink paper is DCWV The French Country Stack and the patterned paper is from Paper Studio Country Road.
