Patriotic Shirt

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with my Cricut, EasyPress, and vinyl again!  Time for a patriotic shirt!

Cricut Cartridges:

Stand and Salute - USA   I used two layers, one red and one navy vinyl.

All American - Large Heart cut from navy. Three smaller hearts cut from the red vinyl.

Font - Lipstick Lettering -- Word the.

I sized the grouped image at 8.50" wide x 8.242 high.

I enjoyed working with different cartridges and fonts to make this design. Now, more of my family wants a shirt like this!

Hope you enjoy!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hope you enjoyed a wonderful and safe 4th of July holiday weekend! Lunch with my Mom and children was very nice. As always, too much food!

Baseball games and watering plants in my yard have been keeping me busy, with little time for the Cricut. I just had to make some time to play with my Cricut machine! Card is 5" x 7" red cardstock. Papers are from the stash!

Cricut Cartridges:

Photo Fun - Holiday Memories - Firework Frame is cut 4.75" x 6.75". I like this image and think it accents the fireworks! Using the Insert Shapes feature in the Cricut Design Space, I inserted the square and changed it to a 4.60" wide x 6.60" high rectangle to cut the white liner that is placed behind the frame.

Independence Day - Celebrate  -- Fireworks image is cut 3.30" wide. Celebrate image is cut 4" wide.

This will be a project that I can use in a 5" x 7" frame for the next Patriotic holiday. That is if I can find it!!

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Fireworks

Hope you enjoy the fun card! Thanks for your visits and comments!

 

Independence Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with red, white, and blue for another patriotic card! In fact, this card is only those three colors and has no patterned paper. I noticed the star shape border card image on a Cricut cartridge and thought why not try this for a patriotic card!

Cricut Cartridges:

Birthday Bash- Star border card is cut 6.25" wide from white Colorbok card stock.

Independence Day - Flag banners. Each is cut 2" high. The tiny red and blue stars that are randomly placed on the card are the cut out stars from the flag banner.

Phrases - Independence Day is cut 4.25" wide.

Stand and Salute - Let Freedom Ring is cut 5.5" wide. This is used inside the card.

I added DMC Memory Thread bows on the flag banners.

Red, White, and Blue

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with red, white, and blue papers again! The card is white cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". It is layered with red paper and then a pretty Paper Studio patterned paper. The patterned paper was left from my previous patriotic card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Independence Day - Bicycle is cut 3.75" wide from the red, white, and blue papers.

Stand and Salute - Banner Frame with scallop edge is cut 4.25" high. This cut did not have any layers so I hand cut the white for the background and added a strip of red paper under the star cut outs.

Life's A Party - Celebrate is cut 3.75" wide.

Cuttlebug folder is Stars...used on the white mat.

Edges of papers are frayed and inked. A red/white button from my stash added the finishing touch by running some Sew Easy fancy floss through it and making a bow.

Challenges:

FCCB - Ch.254 Anything Goes

Tuesday Morning Sketches - Ch. 306 Sketch --this is my play on the sketch!

Hope you enjoy this card! Thanks for your visits and comments!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 160 Happy 4th of July

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time again for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts and my turn to choose the theme. With the 4th of July fast approaching (where did the first half of the year go!) I would like to see patriotic projects. Challenge 160 is Happy 4th of July... make a patriotic card or project! I decided to try another double twisted easel card.

Solid papers are from scrap stash.
