Heart Bee Birthday Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing a birthday card for a friend. The card measures 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white cardstock. Patterned paper is K&Company Valentine paper that was left over from Valentine projects. I thought the paper would work great for a young lady's birthday.

Miss Kate's Cuttables - Heart Bee is cut 2.94 wide" x 2.75" high. This was a recent free image. It works great with my Cricut Explore and Design Space. Thanks for the cute freebie.

Cricut Cartridges: 

Just Because  - Bee Happy is cut 2.2" wide x 1.5" high.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 - Happy birthday to you is written with the Cricut Midnight pen on an inserted 3.75" wide x 3.12" rectangle shape. This is used inside the card.

Cuttlebug Divine Swirls folder is used on the white mat under the cute bee.

Birthday Card - Boot

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I enjoy making birthday cards! After viewing the cute sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches for this week, I am playing along with the sketch for this birthday card. Card base is brown cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". The pretty patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye Simply Beautiful paper pad..paper that I have had for a long time. 

Cricut Cartridges:

Old West - I bought this cartridge several years ago and this is my first time to use it. Boot is cut 2.75" high. The cut image leaves little cut marks so I tried to make little dashes using the Gelly Roll white pen. The marks were so hard to see on the brown paper. Not so perfect, but after all it is a handmade card! Lasso is cut 1.25" wide. Two boots are used inside the card--those were cut 1.75" high.

Just Because - Just Kickin' Back is cut 2.75" wide.

Cricut Classic Font - Happy Birthday is cut 4.25" wide. It's Your Day is cut 3" high. Both phrases are used inside the card. 

Martha Stewart Ribbon Loop edge punch is used on the mat inside the card.

Cuttlebug: 

Swiss Dots folder is used on the background mat under the boot.

Diamonds in the Rough folder is used on the two mats.

When Life Gives You Lemons

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a double twisted easel card! The tutorial for this card can be found at SplitCoastStampers The card begins with an 8 inch square of cardstock for the foundation. The pretty patterned paper is from the Paper Studio Country Road. White paper is Colorbok textured paper. This card folds so that it will fit into a business size envelope.

I have made several double twisted easel cards before but it has been a long time. Just wanted to have fun with something different!

Cricut Cartridges:

Just Because - Glass of lemonade is cut 1.35" wide; Phrase "When life gives you lemons" is cut 4.75" wide using the white cardstock over a pink patterned paper. The phrase mat is pop-dotted on the card to hold the two side elements in place when the card is opened.

Paisley - Lemon is cut 1.75" wide.

Splendid Soirees - Doily is cut 3.25" wide. I cut two white doilies, each is layered over yellow. 

When I Was a Kid - Corner flourish is cut 1.75" wide from white and layered over yellow. 

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder is used on the lemon and the lemonade for a little texture.

To complete the look, I used small pink buttons and crinkle ribbon bows. I made a small green bow from DMC Memory Thread and formed little hearts to represent "loving lemonade in the summer time"!

Nuts About You

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with the Cricut "Just Because" Cards cartridge. It is one of those cartridges that I just had to buy. I have had it for several months and would you believe today is my first time to use it. I was working in the Cricut Craft Room and decided to try one of the card features. For some reason I never could hide the fold marks for the card. I do like the scalloped edges on the card!

Page 63 - Card feature was cut 9" which makes a 4" x 9" folded card. Squirrel and layers are on the same page. I used the stencil features for the "nuts about you" sentiment which was cut 1.75".

Page 38 - Background mat was cut 3.444" x 5.306".  

Cuttlebug:

Houndstooth Folder - Squirrel

Distressed Stripes Folder- Background mat

Card was cut from Kraft cardstock and other papers are from my stash. Lots of inking and a wiggle eye for the squirrel.

I think the card will be great for a masculine Valentine card! What do you think?
