Dresser Step Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Dresser Step Card. This is another card style that my friend Cathy challenged me to do. I have made this card style before and was glad to make the card for a little girl this time. Many tutorials are available on Pinterest if you would like to try it also.

The First Few Years - Label Classic 2 is cut .75" wide x 2.25" high. I cut three images at this size to be used as the drawers.

Anna's Window Frame Cards - Happy birthday is written with Cricut Pink Crystal pen on a 2.5" wide x 2.75" high rectangle.
Let's Eat Some Cake - Candle is cut .589" wide x 3" high.
Sorry I failed to take photo of the inside of card.

Fall Leaves and Pumpkins

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With Fall fast approaching, I have been working on outside decorations. I love Fall! Now it is time to start working on some cards! This card is 4.25" x 5.50". 

Cricut Cartridges:
Enjoy the Seasons - This is a print and cut cartridge with seasonal images that I have been wanting to try. The background paper is a printed pattern that is available with the cartridge...it is called Multi Color Polka Dots. The paper is cut 4" wide x 5.25" high.
Nuts and Leaves image is cut 2.50" wide x 2.196" high.
Pumpkins and Squash is cut 3.50" wide x 3.345" high using the flip horizontal feature.
Text Breezy - Fall is written on the banner of the pumpkin image. I thought that font name seemed appropriate for Fall.

Inside of card:
Background paper is Enjoy The Seasons Red and White Polka Dots.
The First Few Years - Happy is from Happy Day--used contour to eliminate the word Day. Happy is cut 3" wide x 1.487" high.
Simply Scarecrows - Fall with the leaves is cut 3.40" wide x 1.452" high.

Ornament Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am working on Christmas cards! I really need to start earlier next year! This card is made using one of my recently purchased cartridges. I love Anna Griffin cartridges and thought it would be a perfect gift to myself!

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 - Ornament card is cut 10" wide x 7" high. The image has an envelope with it but I did not cut it...set size for the card. Two shades of red paper and two shades of green paper are used. I am not sure if you can actually see the two reds.
Anna's Christmas Cards & Embellishments- Sentiment "Greetings of the Season" is printed on the label frame from The First Few Years. Label is cut 4.77" wide x 4.77" high. I used a Pilot Precise V5 red pen to do the writing. This is used inside the card.

Inside of the card.

I enjoy the looks of this card and decided to make another card using some pattern papers from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions Foil Pack.
  
 
Second Card

Thank you Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Thank You card. Card is cut from white card stock and measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". The pretty patterned papers are KC Company left overs from previous projects. When buying 12" x 12" paper pads, I can make several cards from one sheet of the paper. Of course I love K&Company and sometimes just hate to cut the paper!

Cricut Cartrdiges:
Sugar and Spice -- Thank you card is cut 5.25" wide x 4" high.  One layer of images include small flowers in the upper left corner and lower right corner with the thank you words. I chose not to use the flowers since I was using a floral patterned paper. In Cricut Design Space, using Contour feature, I hid the small flowers. Then I increased the size of Thank you to .75" high. The original words were very tiny, not suitable for my card size.
Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments - Sentiment used inside. I like that sentiment!
The First Few Years - Photo frame.. I used only the scallop frame with the openings cut 4.86" wide 2.66"h. The sentiment was written on this frame using the Cricut Black pen.
 
Recollection flowers with rhinestones and a bow complete the card.
