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.

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

Challenges:

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 150 It's Cherry Pie Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 150 is 'It's Cherry Pie Day"! February 20th is Cherry Pie Day and Design Team member Sarah asked us to include a cherry or pie on our card or project. 

My card is made using white Colorbox cardstock and is cut with my Cricut and Cricut Folk Art Festival cartridge. Red Recollections paper is used for the main cut. There are many pretty images on this cartridge. I really need to use the cartridge more often!

Inside of card.
The cherries, swirls, and flowers are the cutout pieces from the front of card. I added these cuts to the inside to dress it up a little. I did not add a sentiment at this time, but the card can be used for several occasions.
Be sure to visit My Sheri Crafts to see the pretty cherry projects from the design team and our guest designer. Stop by the individual blogs for more details. We look forward to seeing all your pretty projects! Several Ooh La La awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer.
Thanks for stopping by! I appreciate your comments!

Another Folk Art Festival Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I had a request for a sunflower and the color purple. I decided to try another shaped card using Cricut Folk Art Festival. This is the results!
Cricut Cartridges:
Folk Art Festival - Page 71 - The purple card base is cut 5" using the Font Shadow image on shift. I used the Font Blackout on shift to cut the white mat. The image is rounded on all sides so I hand cut the left side to the same shape as card.
Walk In My Garden - Page 100 - Sunflower is cut at 4". Page 91 - Flowerpot is cut at 1.25".
Phrases - Page 22 - For the inside of the card, I Love You is cut 4". My photo goofed.
Cuttlebug:  Polka Dots folder used on the white mat.
Recollections gemstones used on the corners.

Thanks for looking!
