Guitar Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

Hope this Monday is going well for you! I found some time to play in my craft room with the Cricut! This card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and is white cardstock. I am using some scrap papers from previous projects. When I saw the challenge at BBTB2 this week, I had to make a card that would work for the Elvis's Birthday challenge. I also know someone who was born on the same day! The song that I chose is Guitar Man! Still love his music!

Cricut Cartridges:

Nifty Fifties - Guitar is cut 2.21" wide x 3" high. This is my first time to cut this image. I do like the way it turned out. I added white dashes with a Gelly Roll pen to add a little more interest. A second guitar is cut 3.75" high - this is used inside the card.

Birthday Bash - Star is cut 1.56" wide x 1.50" high.  First time to use this image.

Cake Basics - Happy Birthday is cut 4" wide x 1.48" high. This sentiment is used inside the card. The cartridge is available in Cricut Access and is my time time to use an image from the cartridge.

Cuttlebug:

Happy Birthday folder is used on the white mat. 

Swiss Dots is used on the red strip.

Valentine - Ice Cream Shake

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing another Valentine card! The card is cut 5" x 6 1/2" from blue cardstock. Yikes, I actually cut into a 12" x 12" Valentine paper pack. I have been trying to use papers from the scrap stash. When I discovered this Miss Elizabeth's Bryce & Madeline Valentine 12" x 12" paper pack in my stash, I knew it was time to cut it! This was bought at Dollar Tree many years ago. I cut the stripe paper so the birds and hearts could be part of my card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Nifty Fifties - Ice Cream Shake is cut 3" wide. The image has a small star on it, but using the contour feature, I eliminated the star. Image is pop-dotted on the card.

Tie the Knot - Small heart is cut .3" high. I added the heart to the glass.

Valentine's Day - Happy Valentine's Day sentiment is cut 5" wide and is used on inside of card.

Blue crinkle ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.

Inside the card.

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Ice Cream

Die Cuttin Divas - Sketch

Simply Create Too   - Ch 102 Love or Valentine

Music card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I was able to play with my Cricut Explore this afternoon after several days of being away from home. My Mom had knee replacement last Tuesday and I stayed at the hospital with her. Surgery went well and she is improving daily. She is now doing more therapy closer to our home.

I missed playing along with some of my favorite challenges last week. This card is 5" x 6 1/2" cut from green cardstock. Patterned papers are The Paper Studio Girls Live to Rock.

Cricut Cartridges:

Elegant Edges - Circle Frame is cut 3" wide from a yellow sheet of the Paper Studio pad. There are shades of yellow on the frame. Because I wanted to place the frame on the patterned mat, I handcut the pink paper for the black out of the frame.

Nifty Fifties - Record group is cut 2.25"h. Cuttlebug Script folder is used on the small yellow piece on the record for a little dimension...not seen well in my photo.

When I Was a Kid - I (heart) music is cut 2.25" w. Music scale at top of card is cut 1.45" w. Music Note on right hand side of card is cut 1"h.

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Cricut Frame

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 208 Music in our Schools--Project with music in mind

Tuesday Morning Sketches - Sketch 293

 

Hope you enjoy this bright, cheery, musical card! Thanks for your visits!

Masculine Birthday Twisted Easel Card

Hi! It seems I am needing a few birthday cards! For this one, I made a twisted easel card following Mary's great tutorial at Cardz TV.

Cricut Cartridges:

Nifty Fifties

Truck on page 61 cut 2".

Hwy sign on page 38 cut 3 1/2" and again 3 1/4" because this cut does not have a shadow. The two sizes are not perfect together but it is ok!

Diamond shape mat on page 69 cut 2 1/2"

Wild Card

Celebrate on page 59 cut 4 1/4"

It's Your Day on page 38 cut 7"

I handcut the mat for sentiment "celebrate". Brads are from The Paper Studio. Do you like the wheels! Martha Stewart inking. The truck and sentiment mats are pop-dotted. Solid papers are from my stash!

Challenges:

Celebrate the Occasion - Ch# 26 Birthday- must be an easel card

Birthday Sundaes - Ch# 22 All About Brads (at least 3) Birthday wording on front.

Cards For Men - Ch# 27 Anything Goes

The Paper Variety - Ch#48 - Travel or Transportation

Hope you enjoy this card!

Route 66

I recently received the Cricut cartridge Nifty Fifties and I am sharing my first card made using some of the cuts. There are so many cute cuts available. I am playing along with Die Cuttin ' Diva's #21 Planes, Trains, & Automobiles. My card is 5 x 6 1/2 and the front is covered with a decorative map paper. This paper has been in my stash forever it seems and I do not recall where it was purchased. I thought it would be perfect for my little road trip!
All cuts are from Nifty Fifties.
Page 24 - Car cut 1.50"
Page 38 - Route 66 cut 3.25"; Phrase "get your kicks' cut 1.50"
Page 34 - Cloud cut 1.75"
Page 63 - Arrow cut 1.75" flip feature
Page 39 - o cut .75" and Page 56 - n cut .75" for the word on
Cuttlebug folder divine swirls was used on the cloud and I used lots of VersaMagic inking. To add dimension to the card, I used lots of pop dots--1/16" on Route 66, and 1/8" on car and cloud.

Hope you enjoy!
