Guest Designer at Die Cuttin Divas

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am happy to be sharing my card at Die Cuttin Divas this week as the guest designer! Many thanks to Georgiana for asking me! Challenge #269 features a pretty sketch. Playing with the sketch, I chose pretty K&Company patterned papers for the background papers. The card measures 4 1/4" wide x 5 1/2" high and is cut from cream Recollections cardstock.

Cricut Cartridges:

Spring Fling - Flower is cut 2.89" wide x 2.5" high from Colorbok Pearlescent pink and green papers. Cricut Midnight pen was used for drawing the lines on the flower and leaves.

Using Insert Shapes feature in Cricut Design Space, a 4" wide x 5 1/4" high rectangle was cut from the plaid paper for the card base mat. Green check paper is cut 3.1" wide x 4.25" high. The circle is cut 3.75" from the blue dot patterned paper. After aligning the circle on the mat, I cut off one edge of the circle so it will resemble the sketch. Edges of the papers were frayed a little before attachment.

Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments - Warm Wishes Sentiment is printed on the 4" wide x 3" high patterned paper. This is used inside the card.

Sentiment Love is from CARDZ TV Encouraging Thoughts. Many thanks to Mary!

Pearls and a crinkle ribbon bow are added for the finishing touches. Thanks to Karen at Little Scrap Pieces for the pretty ribbons.

 

Inside the card.

I just noticed the word THE lacks part of the letter...glad I noticed the error and can make a correction before mailing the card!! It shows in Design Space, but pen did not make the mark. Technical difficulties, I guess!!

Check out all the pretty projects by the design team at Die Cuttin Divas. Hope to see you playing along with the sketch challenge.

Again, Thanks to Georgianna and design team for letting me be the guest designer and playing with this pretty sketch!

With a Thankful Heart

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

This past week we were drenched with heavy rains -  11.5 inches of rain in my community. I live in a low lying area beside a canal which overflows during heavy rains. After two rain events of water going in my house many years ago, a levee was built surrounding our property. A pump was installed to pump water out and quite often we have to use a tractor/pump system to help out. Thankfully I was blessed that no water got in my house. Unfortunately, nearby towns and cities received 20.5 inches of rain. Homes and businesses are flooded, roads and the interstate have been impassable. I am so thankful to see the sunshine today!! My prayers are with all the families that have suffered loss.

I am sharing a thank you card today using the pretty sketch at Paper Play Sketches. The card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. Patterned papers are Momenta Textured and Double-Sided papers. Solid papers are from scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Spring Fling - Flower Branch is cut 2.50" high. Cricut Midnight pen is used for the drawing. I like the look of this flower branch.

Bits and Pieces - Banner is cut 4.35" wide x 1.60" high.

I hand cut the two sentiment mats. With a Thankful Heart is from CardzTV Heartfelt Wishes. Thank you Mary for my recent win! Love these stamps!

Martha Stewart Embossed ZigZag is used on the lower piece of paper.

Finishing touch is a crinkle ribbon bow from Little Scrap Pieces. Karen, I love the ribbons that I recently won!

Valentine - Decorated Canning Jar

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Needing a few more Valentine's gifts, I chose to do a project using vinyl. When I saw the chalkboard look jar lid on the canning jars at The Dollar Tree, I had to purchase a few jars! What a fun project!

Cricut Cartridges:

Valentine's Day - Heart doily is cut 3" x 3" from The Paper Studio Metallic Red and Cricut White vinyl. The red vinyl is not a really deep red and may appear pink in the photos.

Spring Fling - Canning Jar Gift Tag is a Make It Now project in Cricut Design Space. I love the canning jar image. The tag will measure 4 1/2" x 2 1/4". I added some Crinkle red ribbon from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces to wrap around the jar and make the bow.

I drew a heart with teal blue chalk on the jar lid. Filled the jar with individually wrapped candies.

Another Spring Fling Flower Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hope everyone's week is going good! After a long day of yard work yesterday, I decided it was time for a little play with paper and glue! The card is cut from a purple Recollection cardstock at 5.5" x 4.25". My pretty patterned papers are K&Company Watercolor 12"x12" paper pad.

 

Cricut cartridge:

I frayed the edges of some papers and added a corner accent with three purple rhinestones.

Spring Fling Flower

Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with the Cricut Explore today and checking out some of the free images available in Cricut Design Space for a limited time. My card is cut 6"x 6" from white Colorbok cardstock. Patterned papers are Momenta. The white card is overlayed with one of the pretty 6" x 6" papers from the Momenta paper pack. I trimmed each side 1/8" so the white card is exposed. Then I just added my images to the patterned paper.

Cricut Cartridge:
Spring Fling: Rose is cut 3"h. and the drawing on the flower is done with the wine Cricut pen. The rose is pop-dotted on the blue mat. I do not have a green Cricut pen so I used the gold metallic pen on the leaves. I think the gold blends in well!
Sentiment Smell the Roses is cut 3"w. and the drawing is also done with the wine pen.
Cricut Craftroom Basics - Scallop Circle mat is cut 4.28"w x 4.2" from the blue patterned paper.

I was happy to try some cuts from this cartridge. Love how the pens work with the images. This may be a cartridge that I will later purchase.

Challenges:
BBTB2 - Cricut Flower

I like the way this card turned out. I can use it for Mother's Day or birthday card.
