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.

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! Thanks for stopping by!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 83 is Marvelous Monograms. We are asked to make monogram cards or a special project with lots of style! For my Monogram card, I chose to use lots of Red Hat Lady style!

Cricut Cartridges:

Red Hat Lady 3-D Shoe

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks for stopping by today! I recently purchased Cricut Princess Party cartridge and of course, my first project has to be a Red Hat Lady theme! The shoe is one of the reasons that I wanted the cartridge but several other cuts will work in a Red Hat theme!

Working in the Cricut Craft Room, I cut the shoe at 7 1/2" which is the largest size that would fit on the 12x12 paper. Paper is Bazzill Ruby Slipper--just love that name for the paper!!

The circle for the fabric yoyo had been cut some time back and I stitched it up to use on my shoe. Finished size measures 1 1/2". I glued one of my Red Hat buttons in the center of the yoyo and added a purple feather under the yoyo. Other supplies include Purple fabric trim, Recollections Floral Embellishments, gemstones, and pop dots. The "Friends" and button embellishments are from Dress It Up Friends button package. Red Hatters must have their feathers and bling!

Close up view of front of the shoe.

This was a fun project and went together really well. Next time, I may cut an extra paper using the shoe image so the shoe can be lined with a different patterned paper.

Hope you enjoy!
