Easter Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

The past week has been really busy. With all the recent heavy rains and flooding in our area, I have moved my parents in my house with me. Water should not go into their house, but the road became impassable last Saturday. Water had been rising 6 inches daily, but the last couple of days only 4 inches each day. Predictions are for the nearby river to crest on Thursday. Even with that date, it will probably still be several weeks before they can return home. Many acres of farmland are under water and lot of that land had already been planted with corn crops. Several families have moved out from the low-lying areas. My Cricut playing has been limited, but I hope to be playing more in the upcoming days.

I wanted to make a small Easter box for candy and to use as decoration. Since I have not bought any Easter candy, I am using peppermint in it now. Papers are from the pastel scrap stash. I decorated each side of the box using Cricut images. Eight cartridges were used!

Cricut Cartridges:
Cindy Loo - Basket is cut 11.50" wide.
Classroom April- May - Happy Easter is cut 2.75" wide. A piece of acetate is glued to the sentiment to hold in the box.
Create A Critter - Rabbit is cut 2.25" high.
Easter 2010 - Chick is cut 2.25" high. 
Easter Magic - Blue, yellow, lavender egg is cut 2.25" high.

Teresa Collins - Bunnies and Chicks - bunnies and chicks border is cut 2.90" wide x .30" high
Teresa Collins - Easter Basket - Yellow and lavender egg is cut 1.78" wide x 2.75" high.

Pink twine from Diana at DL.ART is used for the four bows on each corner. Thank you Diana for my recent win!

Cricut Birthday Cake

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Always needing birthday cards, I decided to combine two challenges to make this card. The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is cut from a blue card stock paper. The patterned cake/cupcake paper was left over from a previous project. Remaining papers are also from my scrap stash. Although I own many Cricut cartridges, I purchased a monthly subscription to try in Cricut Design Space. After a search for a birthday cake through numerous images, would you believe I chose a cake image that I actually own!! In fact, of all the cartridges that I used for this card, Decorate! Celebrate! is the only one that I do not own. I was happy to use Cricut images for those images depicted in the sketch.

Cricut Cartridges:
Just a Note - Birthday cake is cut 2.25" wide. 
Decorate! Celebrate! - Small green banner is cut .78" wide x.85" high.
Plantin Schoolbook - Oval is cut 4.75" high.
Pretty Pennants - Pink pendant banner is cut 6" high.

Cuttlebug:
Happy Birthday folder is used on the white oval.

Challenges:

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.

Challenge:
BBTB2 - Cricut Frog

BBTB2 - Fly Away

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is Monday again and time for another fun and inspirational challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Jeri is the hostess this week and she chose the challenge Fly Away. We are asked to use a hot air balloon or if you do not have a cartridge with one, you can use an airplane!
I did an image search in the Cricut Craft Room and quickly discovered that I had only one cartridge with a hot air balloon. That is Victorian Romance cartridge. I know the cartridge is more of a Valentine theme, but I choose to make a "love you" or anniversary card.
Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cut from Bazzill Ruby Slipper. Musical paper is from Hobby Lobby. Do you remember the song Up, Up, and Away in my beautiful balloon. Well, I have been singing the song while making the card (and each time I look at the card), so I thought the musical background would work well! Now are you singing it too!
Cricut Cartridges:
Victorian Romance - Hot air balloon is cut 3.75".
Sweethearts - Page 35 Couple is cut 1.375". I chose to cut the image in black for a silhouette effect.
Elegant Edges - Page 41 Oblong feature for the white and red mats...needed more hearts! I used the cut out white hearts for the card corners.
Plantin Schoolbook- Letters for Up Up & Away cut .75 from white and red paper using the main and shift images.
Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots
Other supplies include 3Girl Jam ribbon, pop-dots on the mats, red rhinestones in the corner, and red inking.

Stop by BBTB2 and see all the gorgeous creations by the design team! For more details, please visit each individual blog! Don't forget to leave a little love- we appreciate your visits and love comments too!
Now it is your turn to play along with us! Remember this is a Cricut challenge and the specified image must be a Cricut cut. It can be from any Cricut cartridge. We look forward to seeing what you create using a hot air balloon or airplane if you do not have the balloon cut.

Thanks for your visits and comments!

Fantabulous Cricut Ch. 100 - FCCB Color Challenge

Welcome To Glenda's Cards! Thank you for stopping by today!

Hope each of you had a great weekend! Time again for another fun challenge at Fantabulous Cricut! This week we are celebrating the 100th challenge! Wow! How exciting and Congratulations! Challenge 100 is Color Challenge - Use the 3 colors associated with FCCB - Green, Purple and Turquoise. How fitting is that!!
I am so excited to be participating in this 100th challenge and yet it is a bit sad for me because this is my last challenge as a design team member. I have had so much fun working with Robin, Amy Jo, and the talented designers for the past few months. I want to express my appreciation to Robin for allowing me 2 wonderful and fun terms at FCCB! Congratulations to the returning designers and to the new design team members!

Now to my card! I started with a 8 1/2" x 11" white cardstock and folded it in half to make a 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" card. Going through my stash of paper, I came across this pretty crafting theme paper that I thought would work good for the challenge. All the solid papers were in my stash also.

Cricut Cartridges: Working in the Cricut Craft Room
Nate's ABC's - Page 69 - Scissors cut 1.75". Page 70 - Glue cut at 1.75".
Simply Charmed - Page 54 - Word feature for "Craft Day" cut at 1.569" w x 1.375" h.
Plantin Schoolbook - Letters and shadows cut .75".

Cuttlebug: Hearts folder for the white mat. I wanted to create more focus on the hearts in the designer paper and also my love for crafting!
Martha Stewart - Butterfly Pop-Up Edge Punch. Designer paper has such pretty butterflies and I had to cover most of them up! I used some of the punched out butterflies on the white mat.
Other supplies include inking, rhinestones, pop dots, and buttons with bows made of DMC Memory Thread.

Now it is your turn to play along with us at Fantabulous Cricut. Please visit the blog to see all the creative projects by the design team. I am sure you will be inspired to play along with our color challenge. Remember you must use Green, Purple, and Turquoise plus a Cricut cut on your project!

I want to thank my blogging friends for all the support and friendships made while I have been serving on the  design team! The motto on the FCCB blog states, "Share, Create, and Inspire". You may notice on the designer paper on my card the words inspire and create. I love that piece of paper! I hope the projects that I have created and shared with you have been inspiring! I know I had a Fantabulous time!!
Best wishes to all at FCCB!

Thank you for your comments! I enjoy reading each one!

Fantabulous Cricut Guest Designer - #1 DAD


I am super excited to be Challenge Me Monday Guest Designer at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog! It was such a surprise to be asked! FCCB is one of my favorite challenge blogs and I enjoy entering their challenges when I can. Thank you for the honor of being the guest designer and playing along with the Fantabulous Design Team!

The challenge is #1 Dad....make a project just for him. My dad is deceased and I wanted to make a card for my grandkids to give their dad. I struggle sometimes with masculine cards but I thought a baseball theme would be perfect for my family. Both younger grandsons play ball and their Dad is right there with them!

This card is a recessed window card which gives a shadow box look. A great tutorial can be found at SplitCoastStampers. The card starts with a 5 1/4" x 10 3/4 piece of cardstock. This is the size given in the video rather than the printable tutorial. The cardstock is scored at 5 1/4 and again at 5 1/2 which creates a little spine to help the card lay flat. Please view the video for complete instructions on making the window.
This photo shows the 1/4" recessed area.

Cricut Cartridges:
A Child's Year - Dad silhouette on page 40 cut 3" with black and again 3" blue paper using the shadow key.
Sports Mania - Play Ball on page 63 cut 1 1/4 in red. Using the layer feature and same size, the ball is cut in white.
Bat is on page 64 and is cut 2" with silver using the base cut, 2" with red using the layer cut and again 2 " using the blackout cut.
Plantin Schoolbook - Star on page 74 using the endcap feature. I keyed in #1 DAD. This was cut 3/4" in white and 3/4" in red using the endcap shadow key. To provide the Red stars on top, I cut red using the endcap shadow feature again--trimmed off the stars and glued to the white base. This is only my second time to use this feature and I love the way it turned out. I forget about some of the neat features on the cartridges.
Rest of the recipe:
Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots folder; lots of inking; Pop-dots; white gelly roll pen
For the inside of the card, I used Sports Mania, page 62. This is the background feature and is cut 4 1/2" in white. I hand cut the red mat at 4 3/4". Isn't that a great background! The cut-out is so cute! The kids can write a note and sign here. I covered the area that forms the recessed window with the baseball paper. I will add a photo of the kids on that area.

Now it is your turn to play along! Be sure to check out the design teams' projects and link your project for Dad at Fantabulous Cricut.
Again many thanks to FCCB for this opportunity! Hope you enjoy my project!

Easter Basket


This is my first try using the cute basket on Cricut Easter 2010 cartridge. I used a 12 x 12 inch piece of yellow cardstock and set my Expression on Fit to Page. The top edge of the basket measures 4 1/2 x 3 1/4 and the height is 3 1/4. Nice size little basket!
Cricut cartridges:
Create A Critter - Rabbit on page 26 cut 3 1/2 inches. Rabbit is on an Action Wobble. It is so cute when it wobbles! Flowers on page 66 cut 1 3/4 inches.
Easter 2010 - Basket and Egg. Egg is cut at 3 inches.
Plantin Schoolbook - Grass on page 69, using the shift key cut 3/4 inches.
Papers are Colorbok Textured Cardstock, lots of inking, and pearl on the egg is from stash.

Challenges:
Fantabulous Cricut - Colors pink, green and yellow
My Sheri Crafts - Bunnies
Bitten by the Bug 2 - Easter 2010 Egg

Hope you enjoy my project!

Flaunt It Fridays #12 Forever Young, Model 1, Silhouette


Thanks for stopping by today. It is time for another fun challenge at Flaunt It Fridays. We are using Cricut Forever Young and are flaunting Model 1 using the emblem (silhouette) feature. This cut is found on page 24 in the handbook. I cut the model silhouette image and the solid emblem at 3 inches.

There are so many pretty shaped card features on the cartridges that I seem to forget to use. For this card, I am using Cricut Sentimentals for the card base found on page 61. I just love the scroll edge. The scroll edge could also be used on the side opening of a card. I cut the card feature at 5 inches using some of my favorite double-sided K&Company designer paper.

To add a vintage look to the card, I made flowers. For the flowers, I used Plantin Schoolbook for the cut on page 77. I cut several flowers in varying sizes starting at 2 1/4 for the largest down to 1 inch. The paper is Life's Journey, another K&Company paper pack of double-sided papers. I chose a paper that had antique looking postcards on one side and the opposite side had newspaper print advertising. I used some of each of the paper patterns for the flowers. For the flowers, I used lots of inking, rolled edges under a bit, pop-dotted the layers and added pearl centers to finish the look. Lace and ribbon are from my stash!

Before you try this particular card feature on Sentimentals, I will mention that the lower edges of the scrolls do not line up evenly with the lower edge of the back side of the card. When the card is folded, the right hand side of the scrolls extends a bit past the edge of the card. You may notice a difference in the lower edges in my photo. I do not know if this is a problem on each Sentimental cartridge or just my particular cartridge. I think it adds more of a unique character to the card!!

Hope you enjoy my card! Now it is your turn to flaunt the model silhouette with us! Remember you can use a similar cut if you do not have the Forever Young cartridge. We look forward to seeing your pretty paper projects!

Silk Ribbon Flowers/ Recessed Window Card


I am so excited to post a new card. It has been awhile! Thanks friends for bearing with me as I have been adding some of my older cards to my blog.

Wanting to enter a project at My Sheri's Crafts this week had me considering what could I do with stitching. The challenge is stitch something on your project- it can be real or faux and manuel or machine. I love both cross-stitch and ribbon embroidery and have done many projects as my walls are loaded with cross-stitched framed pieces. Knowing I would not have time to finish a cross-stitch project in two days, I am incorporating silk ribbon embroidery on my card. Stitches include decorative spider web rose,  ribbon stitch, lazy daisy, decorative lazy daisy, and split stitch. I am really pleased with my little bouquet!

I followed a great tutorial at Split Coast Stampers for making a recessed window card. I needed a way to mount my stitched piece. This is my first try making this window, but I will probably do this again. My piece of paper was cut 5 1/4 x 10 3/4, scoring at 5 1/4 and again at 5 1/2 as instructed in the video. The two scoring lines make a little spine to allow the card to lay flat.
Rather than making a frame for the entire front of card, I chose a frame from Cricut Lite Lovely Floral cartridge, cutting one frame at 3 1/2 inches from K&Company paper and the same frame again at 3 3/4 inches from a glitter page of My Mind's Eye Home Glitter Book.

The butterfly is also cut from Lovely Floral at 1 1/2 inch for all the cuts. Flowers were cut from Plantin Schoolbook using  1 1/4, 1, and 3/4 inches. Pearls, gemstones on butterfly, ribbon and lace are from my treasure chest.

Cricut cartridges: Lovely Floral, Plantin Schoolbook
Paper: K&Company double sided paper, My Mind's Eye Glitter Book
Martha Stewart: Ink, Scoring board

I will enter this card in following challenges.

Thank you cards


                                                                            

Using the Dahlia Fold flower technique, I made a couple of "Thank You" cards. If you have not tried making this flower, a great tutorial is available on SplitCoastStampers. I enjoy making the flower and like the results.

Using Plantin Schoolbook cartridge, I cut 9 circles at 1 1/4 inch each - using 8 to make the flower and 1 for flower base. The result is a 2 1/2 inch flower.

Cricut Cartridges:
Plantin Schoolbook -- circles
Lovely Floral - doily - cut at 3 3/4 inches
Wild Card - sentiment inside "Thoughtful" cut at 8 inches
Storybook - background for the sentiment cut 8 inches

Cuttlebug folders - Swiss Dots, Polka Dots
Martha Stewart - Doily lace trim punch, Corner punch (trimmed the corner and placed on card) and inks

Paper - K&Company Double sided. For the two cards, I used the same paper on the flower and the MS doily edge trim, but by using the reverse side on one of the cards, I have two different looks. I love this paper and use it often.

I hope my friends enjoy the cards!

Thanks for stopping by today! I appreciate all your comments!
