Mother's Day Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I saw a pretty Make It Now card in the Cricut Design Space Project area and thought it would make a pretty Mother's Day card. Also, I noticed it is the available free cartridge this week. Just had to try it!

I love the print and cut images on this!

Cricut Cartridges:

Kim Byers Mother's Day.....Card measures 5.5" x 4.25" and envelope is sized to fit. 

To add my own spin on the card, I duplicated and resized the two flowers to add on the base of card and envelope.

Mother's Day 2015 - Happy Mother's Day is cut 3.50" wide x 2.812" high. This is used inside the card.

Envelope and inside of card.

The center flower image is pop-dotted on the card. I added some pink inking and a few pearls to add more interest. I like the results of the card so well that I actually made 2 cards. My mom passed last year and it is kinda hard making Mother's Day cards. I miss Mom and in memory of her, I will give these cards to recognize the oldest and youngest Moms at my church on Mother's Day! 

Thank you for your visits and comments!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with laces and ribbons trying to work on shabby chic again. Inspired by the Challenge 177 "Oh Baby!" at The Shabby Tea Room, this is my results for the baby card. I do not need a baby card, but wanting to play along, I chose soft pink dots and floral papers. Those papers are from DCWV Fresh Floral Stack. Papers are slightly distressed and torn! Card measures 5" x 6 1/2" cut from white card stock. White papers are Colorbok and Bazzill.

Cricut Cartridge is Mother's Day 2010. The baby carriage is cut 2.5". Tiny white rick rack is added to the carriage.

Spellbinders - Eyelet Circles. The largest size is used for the white mat. Pink ribbon is used around the mat and for the tiny bow.

Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots used on the eyelet circle mat.

Martha Stewart - Swirling Lace corner punch on the pink dot paper.

Lace, lace heart, and flower are from my stash! Tiny flowers on the wheels are Jolee's Boutique embellishments.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 109 Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hi Friends! It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Our talented Sandy chose Mother's Day as the theme for Challenge 109. She asked us to show what makes your Mother so unique. Maybe it is frills and lace, a sense of humor....show us in your card/project.

This is my first time to try the SplitCoastStampers's tutorial for a Diamond Origami Fold Card. The card style is so unique and with the pretty flower patterned papers, it is perfect for my Mom who loves flowers!

If you try the tutorial for the card, please note that on Step 2 the score lines should be 3 1/4" and 5 1/2" not the 3" and 5 1/2" given in the written instructions. That change is noted in one of the comments on the first page.

Cricut Cartridges:

Flower Shoppe - Page 13 - Scallop 4 is cut 2.25" and 2". Oops, I think Scallop 1 was 2". 

Page 22 - Ruffle 5 is cut 1". I used 5 of these leaves.

Wedding - Hearts cut 1.5" using the basic and blackout images.

Mother's Day 2010 - Happy Mother's Day is cut 3".

Open view of card!

Martha Stewart Scroll Lace Corner punch is used on the rectangle mat. Ribbon is from stash. Lots of inking! Paper is double-sided K&Company. I enjoyed making this unique card and know that I will have to try it again.

Stop by My Sheri Crafts and view all the pretty Mother's Day projects by the talented design team and our guest designer for this challenge. For more details on the projects, please visit the individual blogs. Don't forget to show a little love - we love comments too!

My First Double Z Fold Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks for stopping by! As I announced earlier, I am so excited to be on the BBTB2 Design Team! Today I am sharing the Mother's Day card that I submitted for the design team call!

This is my first attempt at the Double Z Fold Card. The card starts with a  5 1/4" x 12" Bazzill purple cardstock. Using my Martha Stewart scoreboard, it is scored at 2", 4", 8", and 10". The second score is folded in and the first score line is folded back. Repeat the folds on the other side and your card is ready for decorating. A great video and written instructions are available at SplitCoastStampers for this card!

Designer papers are K&Company.

Using a 1 3/8" strip of the purple cardstock, I made a band for the card. The Martha Stewart Lace Trim Doily was used on one side of the designer paper. Lace was gathered and stitched to form a doily behind the Cricut flower.

Cricut Cartridges:

Flower Shoppe - Flower on page 16 cut at 2.5". I used Fun 1, Fun 2, and Fun 4 image cuts.

Mother's Day 2010 - Happy Mother's Day is cut 2.5".

Cuttlebug Folder is With Love

Other Supplies:

Ribbon, pearls and inking.

I am really pleased with this card style and will try it again soon. The size of the folded card is 5 1/4' x 4" which will be easy for mailing. However with the dimensional flower, it will have to be in a box.

Challenges:

My Craft Spot - Ch. 54 Mother's Day

StuckOnUSketches  - Die Cut - In Celebration of Mothers
The Cuttlebug Spot - Flowers For Mom
Passionately Artistic - Linking Party
Papercraft Star - Ch. 95 Mother's Day

Re-post - Red and Purple Mother's Day Side Step

Recently I posted this card that I made for a Red Hat Lady but unfortunately during the time that blogger was down for a couple of days, it disappeared AND never came back. This card is the same design and uses the same size Cricut cuts as the pink/lavender card which you can view here . Just wanted to share how it looks with red and purple! Hmm--I like both color combos!

Paper Playtime Ch# 45 Tall Card

Hope all Mothers had a fantastic Mother's Day! Thanks for stopping by today! I want to say thank you to my new followers!

Today I am sharing the card that I made for my Mom. This week begins a new challenge at Paper Playtime with the challenge team. Our challenge is to make a tall card with any themes or colors. For optional challenge, use your Cricut if you have one. Tall cards are 9" x 8" and scored at 4 inches.

As you see, I turned my card. After cutting and scoring, I embossed each side with the Swiss Dots folder. Using Martha Stewart scoreboard, I scored four lines on each side. My white mat is cut using the Martha Stewart French Scroll edge punch and corner punch. I used Cricut Mother's Day 2010 for the word Mother. Word and shadow are cut at 2 inches. For the flowers, I used the Martha Stewart Embossed Daisy Pop-up punch. My friend Joy at Purtty Paperz has been using Memory Thread with buttons on her lovely cards. I like the look of the curls and I was so happy to find the product at Michael's. Thanks Joy for sharing the info! Buttons are from my stash and the pink memory thread is from my new stash!! I did not take a photo of the inside of my card, but for the sentiment I used "You Are So Special". The phrase is on page 38 on Wild Card cartridge. Sorry, I did not record size.

Just a note: The thread (actually a fiber wrapped wire) is a DMC product, called Color Infusions Memory Thread. It is located near the DMC embroidery thread at the Michael's where I shop.

Now it is your turn to make a Tall card and join in the fun with us! For inspiration, please visit the Design Team members' blogs. You can reach their blogs from Paper Playtime home page! You have until Saturday May 21 to submit your card!

Hope you enjoy my card! Thanks for your comments!

Mother's Day Side Step Card

I really like to make the side step cards and I thought this would be a nice Mother's Day card for my mother-in-law. She loves working in her flower gardens and has such beautiful flowers.
