Let It Snow

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are having daily rain this week making it a good time to enjoy some paper crafting! Card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is white card stock.  Glitter Snowflake papers are from Recollections Jingle Bells. I have had this paper pad for long time and finally decided to use the pretty pink/magenta snowflakes papers. I played along with the Sketch 30 at Paper Play Sketches but failed to make my post before the deadline. I do like the sketch!

Cricut Cartridges:

Pretty Pendants - Pendant is cut 1.75" wide x 5.75" high.

Using Basic Shapes, the rectangle is cut 3.20" wide x 3.97" high. The circle is cut 3" for the white and again at 3.15" for the blue circle.

Celebrate with Flourish - Skate is cut 2" wide x 2.28" high. 

Holiday Cakes - Sentiment Let it snow is cut 2.13" wide x 1.25" high.

Cuttlebug Snowflakes folder is used on the white mat under the skates.

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!

Challenges:

Cardz TV -  Ch. 4 Use 3 Patterned Papers
DL.ART - March Linky

Little Scrap Pieces - Saturday Linky Party
My Time To Craft - Ch. 317 Flowers

Paper Play Sketches - Sketch 3. Such a pretty sketch!

                                                           

I like the way the card turned out! Hope you enjoy!

My Sheri Crafts Ch.164 Long Time No See

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Saturday everyone! It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Raquel has chosen Ch. 164 - Long Time No See! She asked that we create any project that falls into the category of Hello, Thinking of you, Miss You, etc.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments -  I cut the card using Cricut Design Space Make It Now feature. The card measures 5" x 7". Papers are white Colorbok and the Paper Company Purple/Lt. Purple double sided paper. This is a very pretty paper with different fiber colors running through it. You may see a bit of red.

I choose to add two extra mums which are cut from the dark purple, layered on white. These flowers were placed down the center of the card.

Elegant Embellishments - Tag is cut 3.50" wide from the purple paper and 3.34" wide from the white paper. Using the Write feature in Cricut Design Space, Thinking of You was written on my selected tag.

Note: The Make It Now photo of the card shows a sentiment and tag, but those images are not given in the Make It Now instructions. 

Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch is used on the strip in center of card.

Center Step Card and Die D-Lites

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with some new crafting toys and a new card style. This is my first center step card! A great tutorial can be found at Splitcoaststampers for the center step card by clicking here. This is a fun card style and I do like the results! I am wondering why I have not made one of these cards before now!!

Recently I purchased the Spellbinders Die-D-Lites Window One and Wrought Iron (fence) at a great price. I was excited about playing with the new dies! This is the results! 

The card measures 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" and is cut from white cardstock. Papers are scrap papers from previous projects from the K&Company Watercolor Bouquet. You probably have seen some of the papers. I must buy another one of these paper pads-- do not want to run out of these beauties!

Spellbinders Nestabilities Label Four is used to cut the white mat. It was embossed with Paper Studio Bricks embossing folder. Hope you can see the blue, green, and purple inks that I used on the mat. I thought that was a good background for my purple window! A piece of vellum is used under the window opening. Just had to add a little lace curtain to catch your eye!

I had some leftover flowers cuts from previous projects using the Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge. The two different papers are used on the flower which is layered on a lace rosette. Strands of pink pearls and a single flower from a strip of lace flowers complete the flower. The small crinkled ribbon bow accents the flower. Greenery is cut using the Martha Stewart Branch punch. Also, pink pearls add interest to the top of the card.

When I saw the pretty photo inspiration at The Shabby Tea Room, I thought my pretty papers may work. Challenge 182 is Sweet Summertime - Use the pretty colors from photo and a Summertime theme. When I think of Summer, I am reminded of all the gorgeous colors and flowers blooming everywhere! Now if I can get me one of those windows!!

Tea Time - A Child's Year Teapot

For My Sheri Crafts design team project, please click here or scroll down! 

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

A couple of my other crafting loves include cross-stitch and ribbon embroidery! My walls are loaded down with many of my framed works. I love how little X's can make such a beautiful picture! Now it seems paper crafting keeps me busy! Whenever I saw the lovely photo inspiration at The Shabby Tea Room, my eyes were naturally drawn into the gorgeous cross stitch piece. I did not have time to cross-stitch a little bread cover so I chose to do a small ribbon embroidery spider web rose on the linen fabric. I think the small bread cloth works good with my tea pot theme.

Card measures 6 1/2" x 5". Papers are some of my favorite K&Company papers.

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots is used on the blue lid of the tea pot.

Just Rite Stamps - Times New Roman Font 15 pt. is used for TEA TIME.  

Martha Stewart Ribbon Loop edge is used on the pink mat. Another piece of pretty lace is used on top of the mat.

Cricut Cartridges:

A Child's Year -  P. 67 Tag feature.. The teapot is actually a card itself and is pop-dotted on the main card. Perfect way to add an additional sentiment.

Mother's Day Bouquet - Flower is leftover cuts from a previous project. I added the flower to a gathered lace rosette for the center of the tea pot.

Pearls, lace, and crinkle ribbon are from my stash. I was hesitant about the placement of the tea pot on the card, but I am pleased with the tilted look!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with laces and ribbons trying to work on shabby chic again. Inspired by the Challenge 177 "Oh Baby!" at The Shabby Tea Room, this is my results for the baby card. I do not need a baby card, but wanting to play along, I chose soft pink dots and floral papers. Those papers are from DCWV Fresh Floral Stack. Papers are slightly distressed and torn! Card measures 5" x 6 1/2" cut from white card stock. White papers are Colorbok and Bazzill.

Cricut Cartridge is Mother's Day 2010. The baby carriage is cut 2.5". Tiny white rick rack is added to the carriage.

Cricut Happy Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing a Mother's Day card using one of the free images which was available in the Cricut Craft Room recently. While the image was free, I cut a couple more cards to have available in my stash. I do see it is available again in CCR if you are interested in trying this pretty cut.

Cricut Cartridge:

Mother's Day Cards 06 was cut 5.5" using white Colorbok cardstock. I chose to use a pretty floral patterned paper to layer behind the words. This is another one of those gorgeous papers that I did not want to cut, but now I am happy that I did! 

Martha Stewart - Using Martha Stewart Lace Scallop Heart punch I offset a pink and green heart which is pop-dotted on the card. 

A crinkled ribbon bow and Recollection gemstones add the finishing touches.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 109 Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hi Friends! It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Our talented Sandy chose Mother's Day as the theme for Challenge 109. She asked us to show what makes your Mother so unique. Maybe it is frills and lace, a sense of humor....show us in your card/project.

This is my first time to try the SplitCoastStampers's tutorial for a Diamond Origami Fold Card. The card style is so unique and with the pretty flower patterned papers, it is perfect for my Mom who loves flowers!

If you try the tutorial for the card, please note that on Step 2 the score lines should be 3 1/4" and 5 1/2" not the 3" and 5 1/2" given in the written instructions. That change is noted in one of the comments on the first page.

Cricut Cartridges:

Flower Shoppe - Page 13 - Scallop 4 is cut 2.25" and 2". Oops, I think Scallop 1 was 2". 

Page 22 - Ruffle 5 is cut 1". I used 5 of these leaves.

Wedding - Hearts cut 1.5" using the basic and blackout images.

Mother's Day 2010 - Happy Mother's Day is cut 3".

Open view of card!

Martha Stewart Scroll Lace Corner punch is used on the rectangle mat. Ribbon is from stash. Lots of inking! Paper is double-sided K&Company. I enjoyed making this unique card and know that I will have to try it again.

Stop by My Sheri Crafts and view all the pretty Mother's Day projects by the talented design team and our guest designer for this challenge. For more details on the projects, please visit the individual blogs. Don't forget to show a little love - we love comments too!

Now it is time for you to join in our fun with a Mother's Day card/project showing us what makes your Mother unique. Remember several Ooh la la awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer! We look forward to seeing your work!

A Quilted Christmas - Sleigh

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

I am sharing another card using Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge. Looks like Christmas will be here before I can use all the pretty images on this cartridge! The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is layered with a red stripe paper from K&Company Yuletide Paper Pack. Snowflake papers are from the same pack.

Cricut Cartridges:

We may not actually see green snowflakes falling, but I wanted to add a bit more interest to the beige paper with the green snowflakes.

Versa Magic Gingerbread inking. Martha Stewart red dot paper tape was bought last Christmas.

A Quilted Christmas - Chimney

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Recently I purchased Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge and finally found a little time to play with it. This cartridge has some wonderful images on it - hard to choose which image to start with- but I chose the first image on the overlay. Love Santa coming down the chimney! 

Visiting Card Creations By Lorraine, I noticed that Lorraine had an excellent video on how to make a shaped card using this chimney image. She is so talented and inspiring! I wanted to give this shaped card a try! Thanks so much Lorraine for sharing your lovely creations and videos with us!

This image is on page 29 in the handbook and I cut the images at 5" using Cricut Craft Room. The chimney on shift has some very tiny little berries which did not cut well so I used Stickles for some random berries. On layer 1 shift, I used Hide Contour in the CCR to be able to cut the holly in green and the boots in gray. Layer 2 shift shows small cut pieces that may go on the candle flame, but again this is so tiny. Using the hide contour feature I cut only the white for Santa"s waistline. Gold Stickles were used on the candles.

Other supplies include the Martha Stewart punch for the fern greenery. Thanks Lorraine for reminding me that I had the punch! The Poinsettia flower is Making Memories that has been in my stash for several years. 

I had so much fun making this shaped card and like the results! Thanks again Lorraine for the inspiration! Now I may be able to make more shaped cards without the use of the Gyspy, Design Studio or CCR.

Now head on over to Card Creations By Lorraine and check out Lorraine's amazing talent! I am sure you will be inspired!

Napkin Fold Card

For My Sheri Crafts design team project, click here or scroll down.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

I have been wanting to make a Napkin Fold card using reds and purples! Of course, it is for a Red Hat Lady! When I saw the current challenge at Just Rite Inspiration is to use more than one fold on a card, I got busy!

The card begins with a 12" x 12" piece of red Recollections paper. Purple paper is Bazzill and the purple check is Recollections. The paper inside the card is DCWV Posies Glitter print. Choosing where to use the different papers took awhile, but I am pleased with the results!

I followed the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers. The paper is scored at 3" and 9", then turn the paper. Score again at 3" and 9". Now the fun begins with all the folding! Check out the tutorial and video for the complete instructions.

Inside of the card! 

Spellbinders Nestabilities:

Eyelet Circles - Sentiment circles on the band. Blossom for the small floral mat on the band.

Label 10 - Sentiment mats on the inside of the card. 

Just Rite Spellbinders - Corners

Just Rite Stamps: Old Friends Set on the band. Nested Sentiments on the inside. I am still learning to work with stamps!

Martha Stewart: Flower Shower Punch Around the Page set. Also the fern greenery...I do not know that name.

Cricut Cartridge: Lacy Labels. The rolled rose is on Heart3 which is the 4th image from the right on the last row. The rose is cut using the layer feature and cut at 12". I know that sounds really large but you see the finished size. This is my first time trying a rolled rose-- need more practice, but I am liking these flowers

Recollections gemstones, pop-dots on the band, white ribbon from stash. Color Box lilac and Versa Magic Gingerbread inking.

Close-up of the front of the band that wraps around the card.

Challenges:

Just Rite - Ch. 080 More Than One Fold

Hope you enjoy this Napkin Fold card and are inspired to try one too! This is a bulky card so it needs a box or may be hand delivered.

Thanks for your comments!

My Sheri Crafts - Last Day to Wear White

Welcome  to Glenda's Cards

Are you ready for another fun challenge at My Sheri Cards! With Labor Day traditionally being the last day to wear white, our design team sister Sarah challenges us to use White on White. Of course this can be a card or any project as long as it is white on white.

My card measures 5" x 6 1/2 " cut from Colorbox white paper. Would you believe that I did not use any Cricut cuts on this card!

Cuttlebug -  Madison folder. This is a 5x7 folder that I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby recently. I embossed a piece of white paper and layered it on the card front.

Cheery Lynn - French Pastry Doily Die was used for the scallop mat.

Martha Stewart - Lace Scallop Heart. I punched out three hearts to give it dimension--no room to use a pop-dot.

Recollections - White pearls  and 3 Girls Jam Crinkle Ribbon.

That is my white on white card. I am pleased with the looks of the card. I did not add a sentiment on the front of the card, but I am thinking it will be a needed anniversary card.

Be sure to stop by My Sheri Crafts and see all the beautiful projects by the design team and our guest designer. For more details on our projects, please visit the individual blogs. We appreciate your comments!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch 91 Back 'n Forth

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks for stopping by today! It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! The theme for Challenge 91 is Back 'n Forth. Our design team sister Marge asked us to use an accordion/fan fold as one of the elements on the project. My card measures 5" x 7" and is cut from white cardstock.

Designer papers are Greetings of the Season 2009 Hobby Lobby. Hmm, I have had these papers for a long time!

I enjoyed playing with some new Just Rite and Spellbinders crafting supplies on this card. 

For the fan fold rosette, I cut a 1" x 12" strip of the poinsettia paper and scored it at each 1/4" using the Martha Stewart Scoreboard. Edge of the rosette is cut with the Martha Stewart Poinsettia Flourish edge punch.

Cricut Cartridge: Lacy Labels - Two scallop circles in the center of the rosette are cut at 1.5". This is the Joy image which is the last image on the second row. The decorative brad in the center is Anna Griffin Holiday brads, an after-Christmas purchase last year.

Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots on the white scallop circle.

Cheery Lynn - French Pastry Doily Dies for the white doily under the rosette.

Just Rite Stamps - Christmas Nested Frames & Occasions. The sentiment is stamped with Martha Stewart red and green inks. I used a Martha Stewart red colored pencil for the berries.

Spellbinders: Just Rite Custom Dies for the corners and the two sentiment blocks.

Bo Bunny Wraps: Pretty burgundy crushed/crinkled wide ribbon under the doily.

The white doily and the sentiment blocks are pop-dotted on the card. Bow is from Christmas trim that I have had for many years.

Our talented design team sister Brenda is the hostess this challenge and she chose Window to My World! We are asked to use any window from any Cricut cartridge for our card, layout, or 3D project!

Selecting a window was an easy choice for me. I love Christmas/Noel cartridge and this pretty window. I chose to make a Christmas card to get started on my upcoming holiday cards. This is July and I am seeing Christmas merchandise in some stores! I must be late already!

My card starts with a premade 5"x 6 1/2" white card base. Papers are K&Company Yuletide paper pad that was bought last Christmas.

Cricut Cartridge:

Christmas/Noel - Window is cut 5". I used 2 of the images for a bit of dimension to allow the use of the patterned paper behind the window. The paper is part of a decorated Christmas tree from the paper pad. I wanted it to resemble looking through the window to see the beautifully decorated vintage tree.

Wreath is cut 1.75" and is pop-dotted on the window.

Happy Christmas is cut .75".

Martha Stewart:  Poinsettia Flourish edge punch is used on the green paper.

My First Double Z Fold Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks for stopping by! As I announced earlier, I am so excited to be on the BBTB2 Design Team! Today I am sharing the Mother's Day card that I submitted for the design team call!

This is my first attempt at the Double Z Fold Card. The card starts with a  5 1/4" x 12" Bazzill purple cardstock. Using my Martha Stewart scoreboard, it is scored at 2", 4", 8", and 10". The second score is folded in and the first score line is folded back. Repeat the folds on the other side and your card is ready for decorating. A great video and written instructions are available at SplitCoastStampers for this card!

Designer papers are K&Company.

Using a 1 3/8" strip of the purple cardstock, I made a band for the card. The Martha Stewart Lace Trim Doily was used on one side of the designer paper. Lace was gathered and stitched to form a doily behind the Cricut flower.

Cricut Cartridges:

Flower Shoppe - Flower on page 16 cut at 2.5". I used Fun 1, Fun 2, and Fun 4 image cuts.

Mother's Day 2010 - Happy Mother's Day is cut 2.5".

Cuttlebug Folder is With Love

Other Supplies:

Ribbon, pearls and inking.

I am really pleased with this card style and will try it again soon. The size of the folded card is 5 1/4' x 4" which will be easy for mailing. However with the dimensional flower, it will have to be in a box.

Challenges:

My Craft Spot - Ch. 54 Mother's Day

StuckOnUSketches  - Die Cut - In Celebration of Mothers
The Cuttlebug Spot - Flowers For Mom
Passionately Artistic - Linking Party
Papercraft Star - Ch. 95 Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been awhile since I have posted but I will be back on Saturday with a new project for My Sheri Crafts. Be sure to visit tomorrow and play along with us!

Meanwhile, I am working with the new blogger interface---yes--just when I got used to the old one!!

I discovered a card post in draft that I had never posted when I first started my blog so I am sharing  with you today to see how things work out!

This is a card that was previously posted on the Cricut Messageboard using one of the sketches from RAQ'S Card Challenge 7/7 - 7/13 (I think 2010) and the colors of the Ad Color Challenge that week.

Card is 6 1/2 X 5. The background paper is a paper that I had a long time, and could not make myself cut it. But now that the card is completed, I am glad that I finally used the paper.

Cricut cartridges:

Cuttin' Up - Best Wishes cut 2 inches

Storybook - G Accent/Blackout for the background behind the cake, cut 2 1/2 inches; Butterfly (oops, did not record size)

Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots on the sentiment. Cake is from the Birthday folder set.

Martha Stewart - Doily Lace trim. Used a corner punch to make the corner accent.

Recollections - gemstones

Thanks for your visit!
