Valentine - Bow Favor Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Valentine's Day! I have been busy again making more treat boxes. The pretty double-sided patterned paper is K&Company Circus Valentine. 

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna Griffin Splendid Soirees - Bow Favor Box is cut 11.50" wide x 4.65" high. When completed this box measures 2 3/4" wide x 2 7/8" high. This was cut at the largest size for a 12" Cricut mat.

I like how the bow is cut out of the box so that it stands out. I used the reverse side of the patterned paper for the bow.

Valentine's Day - Tag is cut 1.75" wide. Pen work is made with the Cricut Midnight pen.

For the sentiment I used Smile from Mary's CardzTV Mixed Messages Stamps. To attach the tag to the bow, I used DMC Memory thread for the bow. The candy is placed in a bag and tried with ribbon.

I smile when I see chocolates--how about you!

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.

Valentine - Pop-Up Box Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have seen pretty Pop-Up Box Cards and decided it was time for me to try this pretty card style. I followed the tutorial on Split Coast Stampers to make the box. Papers are from K&Company Valentine paper pads-- left over papers from previous projects. After making the box, it was fun time using my Cricut to cut the pretty Valentine images!

Cricut Cartridges:

Disney Princess Dreams Come True - Double Hearts cut 1.50" wide.

Valentine's Day - Heart with the word Valentine written on banner is cut 2.75" wide. Valentine was written using the Write feature.
Feb 14 is cut 3" wide.
Heart of roses is cut 2.25" wide. I cut two of these - used one on each side flap.

Phrases - True Love Valentine is cut 2.25" wide. 

Sweethearts - Love heart stamp is cut 1.75" wide. 

The two Hearts of roses, True Love Valentine, and Feb 14 are pop-dotted on the card flaps. Some of the images inside the box area were attached to strips of acetate which allows them to move slightly when the card is opened.

Valentine - Ice Cream Shake

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing another Valentine card! The card is cut 5" x 6 1/2" from blue cardstock. Yikes, I actually cut into a 12" x 12" Valentine paper pack. I have been trying to use papers from the scrap stash. When I discovered this Miss Elizabeth's Bryce & Madeline Valentine 12" x 12" paper pack in my stash, I knew it was time to cut it! This was bought at Dollar Tree many years ago. I cut the stripe paper so the birds and hearts could be part of my card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Nifty Fifties - Ice Cream Shake is cut 3" wide. The image has a small star on it, but using the contour feature, I eliminated the star. Image is pop-dotted on the card.

Tie the Knot - Small heart is cut .3" high. I added the heart to the glass.

Valentine's Day - Happy Valentine's Day sentiment is cut 5" wide and is used on inside of card.

Blue crinkle ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 174 Be My Valentine

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Yay! It is Saturday and that means it is time for a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! This week our design team sister Sandy is the hostess for Ch. 174 Be My Valentine. We are to use the colors, pink, white, or red! You may know by now, that I love pink so this challenge is perfect for me!

My project begins with a reversible paper of two pretty shades of pink from a Keepsake Essentials 12" x 12" Paper Pack. Guess I held on to it long enough!!

Cricut Cartridges:

Valentine's Day - Dear to my Heart card is cut 21.46" wide x 8.58" high. This image also includes an envelope. My folded card measures approximately 3.75" x 5.50". Just looking at the card in Cricut Design Space before it is loaded into the project page, I did not see all the pretty pen work on the heart and edges of the card. I thought Wow when the card actually loaded.

Sweetheart - Heart Petal Flowers are cut 1" wide and four at 1.25" wide. I cut these flowers from the reversed side of the paper for a little more interest.

Winter Frolic - Swirls are cut 3.50" wide without the shadow image.

Pink Crinkle Ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Love this pink!

Photo of card opened out.

Card is only two shades of pink but my camera did not do well with the photographs.
