My Sheri Crafts - Thanksgiving

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today starts a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Sandy chose Ch. 194 Thanksgiving. She asks that we include any of the following on our card/project - Pilgrim, Indian, Cornucopia, Pumpkin, Turkey, or Pie. For my project, I made a Pull Out Card. You can find the tutorial at Mary's CARDZ TV. Base of card is a cream Recollections paper. Patterned and solid papers are left over from previous projects. This card style is fun to make and I like the finished look..also a good way to use lots of Cricut images! I was able to add 4 of the choices for the challenge on this card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Autumn Celebrations - Turkey is cut 1.75" wide.

Classroom- Oct-Nov. - Pilgrim is cut 2" wide. I believe this is my first time to cut a Cricut Pilgrim image.

Elegant Cakes - Wishes is cut 2" wide X .57" high. Actual phrase is Best Wishes, but I deleted the word Best and sized the word Wishes for my project.

Holiday Through the Years Iron On - Happy Thanksgiving is cut 4.47" wide x 3" high. This is used on backside of card.

Pumpkin Carvings - Pumpkin Stencil is cut 1.75" high.

Thanksgiving - Bountiful is cut 4.25" wide.

Thanksgiving Table Decor - Cornucopia is cut 2.50" wide.

Autumn Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. Where did this year go? I have been playing with the Cricut Explore for another Thanksgiving card. There are so many neat features on the machine that I have been wanting to try. This card uses the slice/weld features which is one of those new techniques for me. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" cream cardstock. I used papers from a K&Company pad.

Cricut Cartridges:

Pumpkin Carvings - Pumpkin 49 is cut 3.5" high. After adding a basic circle shape on the pumpkin to the size that looked ok, I used the slice feature. This cut the circle out of the pumpkin. I added a black out of the original pumpkin from the brown paper.

Wildcard - The word Autumn was sized to fit inside the open area yet touching in a couple of places so it could be welded to the pumpkin. 

Thanksgiving - Harvest Blessings was cut 4.22" wide x 1.62" high. I used only the word Blessings for this project.

Classroom Oct-Nov - Happy Thanksgiving is cut 4.50" wide. This is used inside the card.

 

For more interest to the pumpkin, I added Gelly Roll pen doodles and a pretty crinkle ribbon bow from Little Scrap Pieces which I won recently. Thank you so much Karen for the pretty ribbons! Turkey is pop-dotted on a piece of burlap.

Martha Stewart Swirling Lace edge punch is used on the brown paper.
