A Spring Garden

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are still having a wet Spring, but those Spring showers bring May flowers! I played with my Cricut Explore to create a little garden scene. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. All papers are from the scrap stack - a good way to use to all those smaller papers for these smaller cuts.

Cricut Cartridges:

April Showers - Phrase "Spring Garden" is cut 2.50"w.

Celebrate with Flourish - Sun/Cloud is cut 3"w.

Create a Critter - Tulips cut 1.50"h., Butterfly is cut .75"w.

Freshly Picked - Garden Gate is cut 2.50"h., Hoe is cut 2"h., Hat is cut 1.25"w.

I enjoyed creating the little Spring Garden. Working with the Cricut Explore makes it very easy to find the images. Although, I do take a lot of time choosing which image is better for my purpose--so many pretty images to choose from! I would like to work in my flower beds but we had rain during the night. Now I hear thunder! Maybe a day to play with the Explore!!

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Either/or both a sun or cloud

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 212 Something you would find in a garden.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 120 - Stitch Time

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hello blogging friends! It has been awhile since a post from me. My card is late, but I found a little time to participate in  My Sheri Crafts Challenge 120 - Stitch Time. Sue asked us to make a card or project that includes a sewing theme or stitching on the project.
My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" cut from DCWV paper. Other papers include Colorbok Kraft and K&Company papers.

Do you ever purchase a crafting item and then never get around to using it? Well, I do! I decided it was time for me to try out the Sew Easy stitch piercer tools that I bought some time ago from Michael's. I used the scallop piercer on the edge of the brown paper and the stitching is done with the Baker's twine blue lagoon. Luckily I found papers and colors that would work with the color of the twine. The paper actually has a stitched look. So the stitching was the beginning of my card! Maybe not perfect stitching, but ok for my first try!

Cricut Cartridges:

Thanksgiving - Pumpkin is cut at 1.75".

Freshly Picked - Page 49 - Farm Fresh sign is cut at 2.75".

Cuttlebug:

Polka Dots folder is used on the white mat. Divine Swirls is used on the pumpkin.

A little twine bow and a piece of burlap complete my card. I like the blues and greens with my pumpkin for a Fall look!

Be sure to visit My Sheri Crafts and see the pretty and inspiring projects by the design team and our guest designer. For more information on the projects, visit the individual blogs!

Now it is your turn to play along with us! You must include a sewing theme or sewing on your project. Several Ooh La La awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer. Please note there is a limit of 3 entries per person per challenge.

Challenges:

The Shabby Tea Room - Ch. 186 'Oh My Pumpkin'.. project inspired by the photo, include burlap and/or twine and a pumpkin(s). 

Just an update---My husband is taking chemo treatments and we travel a lot back and forth to the hospital. I try to craft and blog as I can, but it has not been much lately. Thank you for your continued support of my blog and also for your prayers!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 95 It's Picking Time!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Are you ready for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Our challenge this week is "It's Picking Time". Our design team sister Charlotte asked us to include an apple or a pumpkin on our project.

Cricut Cartridge: Working in Cricut Craft Room

Freshly Picked - Looking through this neglected cartridge, I found this cute pumpkin featured on page 68. You will notice the card has a bit of shape rather than a rectangle. Using the Layers2/Shadow key and cut size 5.25", I welded two of the shapes to make the card base. The patterned designer papers are cut at 5" using the main and main/shadow keys. The pumpkin and leaf are cut 5" using the layers key. Sorry I did not record the size of the green background mat.

I thought the pumpkin sign was just too cute not to use. It is cut at 2.75".

Page 49 -  for sale is cut 1.50".

Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots - Leaf,  Divine Swirls - Pumpkin.

Other Supplies:

Brads and raffia bow are from my stash. Pop-dots used on the pumpkin and for sale sign.

Patterned papers are K&Company Tim Coffey Halloween & Fall. Solid papers DCWV.

I had fun playing with this Cricut cartridge. It also has a seeds packet and a frame cut on the pumpkin page. For a project that I made last year using the apple frame from this same cartridge, please click here.

Visit My Sheri Crafts to see all the wonderful and inspiring apple and pumpkin projects made by the design team and our guest designer. For more information, please visit the designer's blog and leave a little love! We enjoy reading your comments!

Now it is your turn to play along with us! Remember your project must include an apple or pumpkin.

Several Ooh la la awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer!

Apple Harvest

It seems forever since I was able to participate in a challenge. There have been so many great challenges lately and I have been missing all the fun. I finally was able to get a card done this weekend for a couple of challenges!

My card is 5" x 6 1/2 " white cardstock and is layered with a pretty Recollections pink patterned paper.

I was trying to include apples and a wheelbarrow into my project. I opened Cricut Freshly Picked cartridge for the first time and saw this apple frame. Well, immediately I decided to frame a wheelbarrow! Have you noticed the interesting frames on this cartridge...some would be great on scrapbook pages.

Cricut Cartridges:

Freshly Picked - Page 28 - Apple frame cut 4". Page 54 - Hat cut 1 3/4". For Apple Harvest, I used the Words feature on page 28 for the Apple and Words feature on page 59 for Harvest. Both were cut at 1 1/4".

Walk in my Garden - Page 107- Wheelbarrow cut at 1 1/4".

Cricut Essentials (preloaded on E2) - Page 45- Corner cut at 1.25"

A Child's Year - Page 49 - Apples cut 3/4"

Lots of inking! Hat and phrase are pop-dotted! Patterned papers are Recollections (24 in pack). I love all these colors. For the reds and kraft color, I use papers from my scrap stack. I used both the Expression and E2 on this card.

Challenges:

Bitten by the Bug2 - Walk in my Garden wheelbarrow. Of course, if you do not have this cartridge, you can use a similar cut from another cartridge.

Cooking with Cricut - Ch.# 53 - Apples and Honey

Link Up for Pink - Linking party - Pink as main color for Breast Cancer Awareness
