Card for a Red Hat Lady

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been quite some time since I have played with Red and Purple. I needed a birthday card for one of my Red Hat Lady friends. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. It is layered with red, patterned Red Hat Lady paper, and purple gingham check papers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Pack your Bags - Lady with drink is cut 4" high. That is a strawberry drink to match my colors!!

Birthday Bash - Many wishes for a Happy Day is cut 4.50" wide. This sentiment is used inside of the card.

Cuttlebug: Happy birthday

Recollections flowers and small gemstones were added at corners on the Happy birthday mat.

Beach Scene

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After playing with red, white, and blue papers for a couple of weeks, I was happy to add a little pink on this beach scene card. The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. It is layerd with a patterned paper found in my scrap stash. I think it is K&Company. Solid blue paper is Recollections and all other papers are also from the scrap stash. No, I still have not made a dent in the stack!!

Cricut Cartridges:

Formal Occasion - Beach scene is cut 5.99" wide 5" high. While doing a Cricut Craft Room search for a tree, I saw this little scene with the palm trees and decided to play with it!

Pack Your Bags - Sun Bather girl is cut 2.25" wide. The phrase Peace and Quiet is cut 2.52" wide .86" high.

Challenge:

BBTB2 - Summer Trees 

 I enjoy playing along with Cricut challenges. While searching for the required Cricut image, I find so many images that I may not would have noticed and tried. This is one of them! I like the way this turned out! It does look peaceful and quiet!

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!

My Sheri Crafts Ch.115 Let's Take a Trip

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 115 is "Let's Take a Trip"! Our design team member Charlotte asked us to make a project that has something to do with traveling.

My card is 4" x 5 1/2" cut from white cardstock.

Cricut Cartridge: Pack Your Bags

This cartridge is a good choice for this challenge because it has so many travel images on it. I choose to use the cruise ship on page 24 and it is cut at 2". The phrase is on page 57 and cut at 1". Wanting to give a post card effect, I chose to use the anchor stamp image that is also on page 57.

Cuttlebug folder is Divine Swirls.

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

Now it is your turn to play along with us! Your project must be something to do with traveling. It could be a mode of travel, a destination, reason to travel, etc. Several Ooh La La awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a card that was inspired by the Papercraft Star challenge. The challenge is to use a map on your project. I found the map paper in my scrap box and decided to go with a travel theme. Some of my family are enjoying a week at the beach...another fun vacation before school starts again.

Card is 6 1/2 x 5" cut from a blue Colorbok cardstock. All papers are from the scrap box! I have been trying to use more scrap papers, but I still have a big stash!

Cricut Cartridges:

Pack Your Bags: Page 23 Car is cut 2.25".
Page 22 Phrase "Are we there yet?" is cut 1.75".
It is quite a long drive from my area to the beach and I know my grandkids asked that question several times! I just had to use it for the inside of the card.

Phrases - Page 51 Phrase "Vacation Time" is cut 2.25".
Sweethearts- Page 74 White mat on inside of the card is cut 3.75. This was a cut that was not needed for a previous project.

Other supplies include yellow buttons from my stash on the wheels. Both the car and the phrase are pop-dotted for added dimension. VersaMagic Gingerbread inking.

BBTB2 - Sun Challenge

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Monday! Time for another fun and inspirational Cricut challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Susanne is hostess this week and she chose "Here Comes The Sun". We are ask to use a Cricut sun to celebrate Summer! The sun can be from any Cricut cartrige and you may do a card, layout, or a 3D project!

My card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. I was happy to find the tropical paper in my scrap paper stash and was inspired to make this little beach scene. All my papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridge: Pack Your Bags

Page 44 - Phrase cut 1.25" 80 degrees and Sunny. Of course, it is much hotter at my home!

Page 67 - Beach scene cut 4.25".

Page 30 - Stamp cut 1". Such a cute little sandcastle!

Cuttlebug:

Divine Swirls - Water

Swiss Dots - Sand

Textile - Umbrella

Floral Fantasy - Little flower on the sandbucket

Spellbinders M-Bossabilities - Flora Reversible Folder- Design B. These are pretty and economical folders because you get two designs. I do cut these with my Cuttlebug. After embossing,  I used the reverse side of the design on the top of the card. I like the looks of the indented leaves with the tropical background paper.

Visit BBTB2 to see all the lovely Sun projects by the talented design team. For more information on the projects, please visit the individual blogs and leave a little love! We love your visits and comments!
