Warmest Wishes - Penguin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With a little Cricut play time, I made a card to play along with a few challenges. The card is 5" x 6 1/2" white card stock. The pretty snowflake patterned paper is from Recollections Starry Night paper pad. Solid papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Simply Charmed - Penguin is cut 2.5" high. This image is shown in Cricut Design Space using the pinks colors. Of course, I love working with pink so I had to use pink!

Savory - Cocoa cup and spoon is cut 1.25" high. The Explore did not cut the cocoa image that goes in the cup without tearing it. After several failed attempts, I hand cut that piece of brown. I would recommend these images be cut at a larger size.

Wild Card - Warmest Wishes is cut 2.50" wide.

Winter Lace - Snowflake cut 1.75" wide.

Cuttlebug - Snowflakes is used on the two hand cut snow banks. Also used on the pink bow for a little dimension.

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Penguin

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 249 _ Brrr! Hot Cocoa, Please!

FCCB - Ch. 268 Snow

Little Scrap Pieces - Saturday Linky Party

DL.ART - #172 Penguin or Black, Yellow, & White
DoubleClick - Ch. 40 Anything goes
Decorate to Celebrate - Ch 2 Anything Goes

Hope you enjoy the card!

First Christmas Card for 2012

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! Thanks for visiting today!

This is my first Christmas card for 2012! Yes, I have good intentions of making more Christmas cards next year...we will see! I saw this cute sketch at Christmas Card Challenges and decided to play along. The tall card was cut from red cardstock at 9" x 8" and scored at 4". My papers are scraps from previous projects using Greetings of the Season paper pack that was bought at Hobby Lobby a couple of years ago.

Cricut cartridge:

Winter Lace - Snowflake 2 (8th image on first row) is cut at 2.25 from white cardstock. To bring out the smaller gold snowflakes in the background paper, the shadow cut is from gold paper.

Poinsettia is a paper flower from Making Memories that was purchased last year on clearance. Almost forgot these were in my stash! I inked the edges a bit and pop-dotted the flower on the snowflake.

Sentiment is a Christmas Crafts stamp on the gold paper. I used the Martha Stewart Doily Lace Trim punch on the green paper.

There are so many possibilities with the sketch. The weekly challenge runs for a couple more days so if you want to start on Christmas cards now, check out the blog!

My Sheri Crafts Ch. 75 Let It Snow

Hi and Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts with "Let It Snow"! This is the last challenge of the year and we have a fun theme! We are asked to create a card/project with a snow or snowflake theme. We do not have snow very often in my area so I really got carried away with the snowflake theme! My card was cut at 6 3/4" x 10" from Colorbox white cardstock. I used the Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake Punch Around The Page punches to achieve the snowflake edges on my card.
The snowflake mat is cut from Deja Views Fair Isle Christmas at 4" x 51/4".

Cricut Cartridge:
Winter Lace - The snowflake "Hearts" is the second image on the first row. It was cut using the Cricut Craft Room at 3". I thought the hearts on this image were so pretty. It does take awhile for the Cricut to cut out the snowflakes.

I am sharing a couple more similar cards but with a different snowflake cut. Did I say that I am loving this cartridge! For a little extra bling, I added a red gemstone in the center of each snowflake. The snowflake is pop-dotted on the mat.
The handmade sentiment stickers are Holiday Time which were purchased during an after Christmas sale last year.

Hope you enjoy my cards and are inspired to play along with us at My Sheri Crafts! Be sure to visit the design team members to see the lovely projects they have created!  Now we would love to see your projects for this theme "Snow or Snowflakes"! Deadline to enter is midnight CST Friday, Dec. 23. Remember the chosen winner will be the next guest designer and several Ooh La La awards are awarded!

 We will be back in January 2012 with more fun and inspiring challenges!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
