Sending You Love Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Mother's Day card. Since losing my Mom in February, this type of card is kinda hard to make. Card is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white cardstock. I am using patterned scrap papers from DCWV Fresh Floral Stack and solids are Recollections. I am using Mary's CARDZ TV Sketch 8. I will be giving this card to my grandkids to give their Mom.

Cricut Cartridge:

Using Insert Shapes in Cricut Design Space, the floral paper is cut 4" wide x 5.25" high. The purple circle pattern paper is cut 1.5" wide x 5.25" high. Yellow strip is cut .75" wide x 5.25" high. Green mat is cut 2.5" wide x 3.25" high and the white mat is cut 2.25" wide x 3" high.

Spring Fling  - Flower Bunch is cut 2.21" wide.

Florals Embellished  - Happy Mother's Day is cut 3.5" wide x 1.89" high. This is used inside the card.

Sentiment "Sending you love" is from Mary's Encouraging Thoughts stamp set at CARDZ TV. I used a purple ink. Thank you Mary for the pretty stamps and sketches!

BBTB2 - Frame Challenge

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks for stopping by today! It is Monday and time again for a fun Cricut challenge at BBTB2. I am so excited to be part of this team with all the amazing and talented designers. Our challenge this week is to use a frame on a card or layout! Many of the Cricut cartridges have frame images and you can use a frame from any cartridge.

My card measures 5" x 7" and is cut from Colorbok white cardstock. The pretty double-sided patterned papers are scraps of K&Company paper pads. I love these papers and colors and the double sided papers work well together. I tore a bit of the floral paper at the top, inked the torn edges, and placed a scrap of plaid paper under it for added interest.

Cricut Cartridges:

Elegant Edges- Page 68 Oblong Frame is cut 4.25". I used the Oblong feature on shift cut at 4.25" for the blackout image. This is cut from a pretty pale green vellum paper. If you look closer, you may be able to see the floral patterned paper under the frame. I added a pink vellum under the little cutouts of the frame, but it does not show well in the photo.

Walk In My Garden - Page 98 Rose is cut 2.37". This is one of my favorite rose images.

Florals Embellished - Page 60 The word Grandma is cut .75".

Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots Folder is used on the green vellum. The embossing added a bit of white to the dots!

Other supplies:

Rosette is a 3/4" wide strip of the plaid paper. Paper is scored, inked, and folded to create the rosette. With the pink on the outside, the rosette has a unique look of its own. I added a strip of lace under the rosette. The pearl button is from my stash. I like using buttons on the centers of rosettes- easy to glue the shank in the opening.

Recollections pearls

Dew Drop Versa Magic Gingerbread inking

My Sheri Crafts Ch. 84 April Showers Bring May Flowers to Mom

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Yay! It is Saturday and time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 84 is April Showers Bring May Flowers to Mom! Time to celebrate those special ladies in our lives! We are asked to create a Mother's Day card/project and add flowers!

My card is 5"x 7" white cardstock. Designer papers are K&Company Sweet Nectar Speciality Paper. I was inspired by a sketch from PageMaps June 2008.

Cricut cartridges:

Flower Shoppe - Page 17. The flower is called sunflower but I thought it would accent the flower in top left corner of the paper. I used image 1, 2, and 4 each cut at 3". Page 22 -- Mum leaf cut 1.5". I used a water spritz and crunched the flower cuts to make the flower.

Florals Embellished - Page 51 - Phrase Mom cut at 1".

Other supplies include Offray yellow ribbon, Recollections gemstone, and inking.

Be sure to stop by My Sheri Crafts and see all the gorgeous projects for Moms that our guest designer and talented design team have created for your inspiration. We appreciate your visits and comments at our individual blogs! Now it is your turn to make a Mother's Day project--remember to add flowers!

Fantabulous Cricut Ch #75 - A Splash of Color

Thanks for dropping by today! I would like to say Welcome and Thank You to my new followers!

Today begins a new challenge at Fantabulous Cricut. Challenge #75 is A Splash of Color--Use the color yellow on your project. This was a fun challenge for me and I know you will enjoy it too!

My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is layered with a colorful patterned paper from a Colorbok pad. I am featuring a cut from one of my newest Cricut cartridges, Florals Embellished. It is Bird 5 on page 69 and is cut at 3 1/2 inches. I love all the layer features on this cartridge--just adds so much color! It is a good way to bring in the yellow even if I have not seen such a colorful bird before! The white mat is cut 3 3/4" x 4 1/2" and the corners were cut using the Martha Stewart Flower Shower corner punch (Punch a Round the Page set). I wanted just a hint of yellow to show so the white mat is layered on the same size yellow mat. Using the corner punch again on a small piece of the tangerine paper, I was able to add the little flower on the punched edge of the white mat.
Sentiment block is hand cut from a piece of vellum look paper at 2" x 1 5/8". The sentiment is stamped with a dollar stamp from Michael's. I have had the Prima flower for a long time and thought it would work nicely on this card. Orange and green gemstones are from Recollections - a Halloween pack that I bought during a clearance! Inking is Dew Drop VersaMagic gingerbread.



Hope you enjoy my card! Please visit FCCB to see this week's challenge and the beautiful projects by the design team. Don't forget to visit each of their blogs for more inspiration! Now it is your turn to play along with us! We would love to see your paper projects for the Splash of color challenge using yellow! The challenge ends midnight Sept. 4th (mountain time).

I am also sharing this card at The Sisterhood of Crafters. The challenge is Flower Power-use a flower.
