My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 183 Tags, Tags, and more Tags

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are back with a new fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Raquel chose Ch. 183 Tags, Tags, and More Tags. She asked that we make a project that features a tag. I seldom make tags, but after viewing the Diagonal Double Pocket Card tutorial at Split Coast Stampers, I knew the card would be a good way to include tags!

The card starts with a piece of 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper. I used pretty double sided papers from K&Company Sweet Nectar paper pad. The tutorial that I followed does not allow for the card to be opened. However instructions are given so the card can be opened. With the enclosures for the tags, I like the way that I made the card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Lacy Labels - Thinking of you label is cut 3" wide.

Gypsy Wanderings - Cupcake tag is cut 3.75" high.

Sentimentals - Tag is cut 2.25" wide x 3.75" high. I added another layer cut at 2.34" wide x 3.86" high for a shadow cut. Using the Add Text feature, Happy Birthday was printed on the tag using the Pink Crystal Pen.

Create a Critter- Flower is cut .95" wide x .74" high. The flower is added on the Happy Birthday tag.

The two tags shapes were also cut from cream paper. I glued that paper to the back of tags so a space to write a personal message will be available.

Pearls and ribbon from my stash were used to complete the card.

Botanical Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

While browsing around in Cricut Design Space, I noticed some new cards that have recently been added to the subscription. I chose one from Botanical Cards and this is my play with it! My finished card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Double-sided patterned papers are from K&Company.

Cricut Cartridges:

Botanical Cards - Flower Card - I used only the overlay of the card. It has flower and leaves shapes that will be cut out, but I used the Contour function to eliminate those images. The overlay is cut 4.25" wide from white Colorbok cardstock.

Anna's Flourish Cards and Embellishments - Sentiment is done with the Cricut Gemstone Blue Pen using the Write feature.

Spring Cottage - Forget Me Not flowers are cut 2.12" wide x 1.34" high. Flowers are pop-dotted on the overlay.

Gypsy Wanderings - Happy Birthday is cut 3.50" wide.

Crinkled ribbon bow is added to complete the look.

Fall/Turkey Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

Today I am sharing another Fall card. Because I enjoy the colors of the Fall season I like to play with pretty patterned Fall papers! Papers are scrap papers from a K & Company pad. Card measures 5" x 6  1/2" from a cream Recollections paper. All images are cut using the Cricut Explore machine.

Cricut Cartridges:

Wow! I used six Cricut cartridges on this one! Cricut Design Space makes it easy to find the images! Although, sometimes it is hard to choose which pretty image I do want to use!!

Autumn Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is a gorgeous Autumn day in my area. Loving these cooler days we are having...not sure how long it will last. Inspires me to make another Fall card. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cut from Recollections cream card stock. The patterned papers are K&Company paper pad..some left over from previous projects. I followed the instructions for the Folded Paper Frame at Split Coast Stampers. The frame begins with a 4 1/4 square of double sided patterned paper. Edges are cut with a corner punch. I do not have the name of that punch. I thought the frame would work well for my pumpkin!

Cricut Cartridges:

Autumn Celebrations - Pumpkin cut 2" wide.

Classroom - October-November - Leaf is cut 1.25" wide.

Gypsy Wanderings - Autumn is cut 3.75" wide.

Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots is used on the cream paper inside the folded frame.

I hand cut the corner papers of the card.

Watermelon for You

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have missed playing along with some challenges. So much has been going on. Baseball is now over for the summer. Kids did really well, in fact, finished second in the state category that they were in. Now it is time for me to play with paper! My card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. I found a scrap piece of watermelon paper in my stash that is layered on the card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Gypsy Wanderings - For You is cut 1.75" wide.

Stretch Your Imagination - Watermelon is cut 2.62" wide, 1.30" high with the shadow cut. 

Martha Stewart Daisy Dots edge punch is used on the black paper strip. The cut outs pieces are added to the plaid square for a little pop! I used a white Gelly roll pen on the watermelon slice.

Happy Birthday Frog!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Monday was a very rainy day around my neck of the woods! Thankfully we were not in the hardest hit areas receiving 6" to 10" rain. My thoughts and prayers go out to those folks. 

My Cricut machine was busy working on a birthday card for a young boy. Card measures 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. Patterned papers and the white papers are Colorbok. I was inspired by the current challenge at BBTB2 to play with a frog!

Cricut Cartridges:

Disney Pooh and Friends - Balloon is cut 3" high.

Doodlecharms - Birthday hat is cut .78" wide, 1.07" high. I thought the little frog needed a hat!

Gypsy Wanderings - Happy birthday is used inside and cut 4.25" wide.

Paper Doll Dress Up - Frog is cut 3" high. We have so many green frogs around my house. One night recently, I was actually frog hunting in my kitchen...thought I never would get that green jumping critter outside! This Cricut frog image seemed best suited for my little fella!

Plantin Schoolbook - White oval is cut 3.17" wide, 4.22" high.

Something to Celebrate- Celebrate Banner is cut 3.75" wide.

Cuttlebug:

Swiss Dots - Balloon

Happy Birthday - White oval mat. The white oval mat is on an Action Wobble...just a bit more fun for the birthday boy! I was unable to get a photo of the wobble on the card. Each time I tried to capture the movement, the mat would be in place again.

Just a Note -- When I searched for Frog in the Cricut Explore Image search, the frog on Paper Doll Dress Up did not show up. I noticed the frog later while looking through the PDDU cartridge.

Red Hat Lady Birthday

Cricut Cartridges:

Christmas Kitsch - The present card is cut 5 1/2" from red Recollection paper and the liner is purple. It was fun to make this card using a different theme than Christmas. You may want to review some of the nice card features on the cartridges.

Cricut Classic Font - It's Your Day is cut 2.07" wide x 2.28" high.
