Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Sarah is hosting this challenge and she chose "Let's Go 3D". Make anything that is 3D--nothing Flat this time. For my project, I made a teacup and saucer using my Cricut Explore and beautiful K&Company papers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More2 - Teacup is cut 10" wide x 10.39" high. Finished size of the cup rim is 3 1/4".

Finishing touches are a gold trim left over from previous project which was glued to cup and saucer.

Lattice Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! 

I am sharing a little lattice box/basket that I am just now able to post. Past few days around here have been rather busy! I missed a couple of challenges that I was playing along with, but that happens sometimes!

Cricut Cartridges: 

Tags, Bags, Boxes & More2 - Lattice box is cut 11.50" wide x 5.48" high from white Colorbok card stock.

Spring Fling - Flower is cut 3" wide using pink and green papers. Sweet Spring is cut 2" wide from the same papers. I cut two of each image so each side of the box has an image. Cricut Midnight pen was used for the drawing.

The two crinkle ribbon bows are from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Thanks Karen for the pretty ribbons! I added some iridescent shreds to the inside of box and some peppermint candy. Looks like someone has been eating my candy!

I am using the little box for Spring now but with Easter also in the month of March, I can add Easter candy for a different treat. I will have a dual purpose box with this little project!

Valentine - Keyhole Heart Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing my play on a cute little treat box that I noticed in Cricut Design Space. This will work good for a girl's prize at the upcoming Valentine's party. Patterned paper is from K&Company Specialty Paper pack. Yikes, I actually cut into a 12" x 12" piece of paper for this little box.

Cricut Cartridges -

Tags, Bags, Boxes, & More2 - Keyhole Heart Box is cut 11.50" wide. Box measures 3" wide x 4" high. When the box is closed, the tabs are inserted into the keyhole opening on the heart.

I added a baker's twine bow to complete the box.

It's Your Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Needing a birthday card, I checked out some of the shaped Cricut cards that are available in Cricut Design Space. I chose this card with the cupcake. I do own this cartridge but I have not used it very much--just like a lot more of my cartridges! Papers are from the scrap stash except for the white sheet of cardstock to cut the envelope!

Cricut Cartridges:

Wild Card 2 - Card is cut 7" high. Envelope is cut 10" wide from white cardstock. The sentiment Make A Wish is cut 1.75" high and is used inside the card.

Birthday Bash - Tag "It's Your Day" is cut 1.25" wide. The words are with the tag, but rather than cutting tiny letters, I used the write feature on the Cricut Explore and Pink Crystal pen.

Cuttlebug- Divine Swirls on the frosting.

Inside of card.

White mat for a personal message is hand cut 3" wide x 2 1/2" high. I cut an extra cupcake in pink to add on the mat. The cupcake shape is cut with the envelope.

Other supplies include DMC Memory Thread bow on the tag and White Gelly Roll pen for added highlights on the card.

Birthday Cards

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing birthday cards made with the Cricut. I used K&Company double-sided papers for the above shaped card. 

Cricut Cartridges: 

Something to Celebrate - Card base is cut 8.5" wide.

Phrases- make a Wish is cut 3" wide. I am pleased with how well the Explore cuts these phrases at smaller sizes.

Tags, Bags, Boxes, More 2 - Happy Birthday with cake is cut at 3.50" wide. This is used inside of card.

I used pink Stickles inside the flower and a Gelly roll pen for the dashes around the sides of card.

Inside of card.

The second card is white cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". Patterned papers are from DCWV Fresh Floral Stack. Solid papers are from my stash.

Cricut Cartridges:
Disney Pooh & Friends - Daisy Frame is cut 4.75" wide. I had no idea this cut was on that cartridge. Using the Explore and being able to see my purchased images brings to my attention there are so many images that I have never cut!
Wild Card - Happy Birthday is cut 2.25" high.
Birthday Bash - Have a Banner Year is cut 5"wide.

 Inside of card.

Thanks for your visits and comments! Hope you enjoy seeing these cards!

A Cricut Penguin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hope everyone is staying warm! We are having very cold weather in my area, plus have been under ice storm warnings for a couple of days. Thankfully we did not get the ice - just more rain after about 8 inches of rain last week. Schools have been dismissed for a couple of days and I have also been off work for the two days. So I have been playing with paper!

My card is from white cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". The patterned paper is from K&Company EB Visions of Christmas pad that my friend gave me for Christmas. My friend is very sick at this time and I wanted to make her a card. Solid papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Winter Frolic - Page 57 - Penguin is cut 3.5". I do believe this is my first penguin cut. With wonderful inspiration from the design team at Die Cuttin Divas, I was inspired to try a penguin for my card.

Page 57 - Border  is cut at 1". I used two of this image on the front and one on the inside of card.

Page 56 - Phrase and Phrase shadow "For You" is cut 1.5".

Tags, Bags, Boxes & More 2 - Page 47 Phrase"Warm Wishes" is cut 1.75" and used on the inside of the card.

Inside of card.

Other supplies include an Action Wobble on the cute little penguin. Sorry, I was unable to get a good photo of the wobble. Ribbon is 3 Girl Jam and inking is Versa Magic Gingerbread.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 100 - It's A Wrap

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun and inspiring challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 100 is It's A Wrap--all about decorating packages, bags, or tags for Christmas! Several months ago, I purchased Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2 cartridge. This was the perfect time for me to try out one of the images that inspired me to buy the cartridge. I thought the tea cup would be a wonderful gift/container for friends!

The tea cup and saucer are on page 29.  I cut it at the recommended size of 9"  from a piece of K&Company Yuletide double sided Christmas paper.

Using Cricut Elegant Edges, I cut the snowflake image on page 47 at 2.87" and used it as a doily on the saucer.

Other supplies include Making Memories paper poinsettias that I have had for several years. Inking is Versa Magic Gingerbread.



 More tea cups!

Cricut Elegant Edges - Page 23 - Scallop 1 was used for the doilies on these two tea cups! Papers are from the same K&Company paper pack. I am loving the finished look! Just need to make more!!
