Hello Pink and Lavender

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After seeing the pretty and inspiring projects from some challenge blogs, I wanted to play along! Pink and Lavender --Yes, some of my favorite colors! Usually I choose a Cricut image first, but playing with a sketch and colors, it took me awhile to decide on the Cricut image. There are so many pretty images available. This is the results!

Card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. Of course, I had to use some of my favorite K&Company papers! I sure need to be looking for another one of the pretty paper pads. This is my second, maybe third, pad. Can you tell I love these papers!!

Cricut Cartridge is Lacy Labels. The Hello label is cut 3.42" wide, 3.78" high. It is pop-dotted on the card for added dimension. Can you believe I only used one Cricut image! 

Adhesive pearl strand and purple crochet flower are from Recollections. Small pink paper flowers were found at a flea market. Edges of background papers are frayed.

Challenges:

Cricut Sentimentals

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

Brrrr...It's is cold outside! Such a pretty day yesterday. Temperature was 80 degrees at 3 p.m. but with this current winter blast, the temperature plunged to 37 degrees by 10 p.m. last night. We had sleet/freezing rain in the area during the night, but thankfully not too much at my house. We have not had the weather in the South like many of you have been experiencing all winter. I am ready for Spring! I took the opportunity to play with my Cricut and made a card for a few challenges!

 

My card is cut using Cricut Sentimentals cartridge and pretty double-sided K&Company paper. I have not used the cartridge in a couple of years. I really like the hand with envelope image and previously used that image back in 2010, so I thought it was time to use it again! Surprise! All of my images are cut from the Sentimentals cartridges!

Cricut Sentimentals:

Page 66 - Pretty shaped Card is cut 10"w. 

Page 42- 3 Scalloped circles cut 2.25" are used for the background.

Page 27 - Hand is cut 1.50" h. Hand is pop-dotted on the rectangle tag.

Page 66- Tag is cut 2.75" h. Using the Cricut Explore, text box and write feature, the words For You are written on the tag. This tag is pop-dotted on the circles for dimension.

Page 71 - With Love is used inside of the card.

 

Cuttlebug folders Script, Swiss Dots, and Heart Blocks are used on the green scalloped circles.

 

Other supplies include a pink ribbon/lace trim from my stash, Recollections rhinestone embellishments, and DMC Memory thread which was shaped into two hearts and made into a bow on the tag.

Thinking of You!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a "Thinking of you" card that may brighten someone's day! The card is cut from white Colorbok cardstock and measures 5" x 7" folded. My pretty patterned K&Company papers are left over from previous projects. I like to work with patterned papers and combine as many as I can on a project. I frayed and inked the background papers.

Cricut Cartridges:
Cindy Loo - Sentiment "Thinking of you" cut  2.41"w  x 1.27"h

Elegant Edges - White and pink oval mats cut 4"h.

Kate's ABC's - Mason Jar cut 2.4"h. This image has several butterflies included, but I edited the image cut so I could have only the jar. I used the blue paper and topped it with the pretty floral paper and added a little heart to the jar. Finishing touch is the twine bow.

Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots on the white mat

Other supplies include an eyelet lace with pink ribbon woven through it, pearls, and a pretty Spare Parts pink paper flower.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 120 - Stitch Time

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hello blogging friends! It has been awhile since a post from me. My card is late, but I found a little time to participate in  My Sheri Crafts Challenge 120 - Stitch Time. Sue asked us to make a card or project that includes a sewing theme or stitching on the project.
My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" cut from DCWV paper. Other papers include Colorbok Kraft and K&Company papers.

Do you ever purchase a crafting item and then never get around to using it? Well, I do! I decided it was time for me to try out the Sew Easy stitch piercer tools that I bought some time ago from Michael's. I used the scallop piercer on the edge of the brown paper and the stitching is done with the Baker's twine blue lagoon. Luckily I found papers and colors that would work with the color of the twine. The paper actually has a stitched look. So the stitching was the beginning of my card! Maybe not perfect stitching, but ok for my first try!

Cricut Cartridges:

Thanksgiving - Pumpkin is cut at 1.75".

Freshly Picked - Page 49 - Farm Fresh sign is cut at 2.75".

Cuttlebug:

Polka Dots folder is used on the white mat. Divine Swirls is used on the pumpkin.

A little twine bow and a piece of burlap complete my card. I like the blues and greens with my pumpkin for a Fall look!

Be sure to visit My Sheri Crafts and see the pretty and inspiring projects by the design team and our guest designer. For more information on the projects, visit the individual blogs!

Now it is your turn to play along with us! You must include a sewing theme or sewing on your project. Several Ooh La La awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer. Please note there is a limit of 3 entries per person per challenge.

Challenges:

The Shabby Tea Room - Ch. 186 'Oh My Pumpkin'.. project inspired by the photo, include burlap and/or twine and a pumpkin(s). 

Just an update---My husband is taking chemo treatments and we travel a lot back and forth to the hospital. I try to craft and blog as I can, but it has not been much lately. Thank you for your continued support of my blog and also for your prayers!

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!

Formal Occasion Dress

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been awhile since I have posted, but I found a little time to work on a shabby chic card. Inspired by the photo inspiration challenge at The Shabby Tea Room, this is the results.

Card is 5" x 6 1/2" using some pretty K&Company papers and other papers from my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridge is Formal Occasion. The dress is on page 27. I trimmed some pretty areas off a wider piece of lace and added it to make the fancy dress. Small pearls complete the dress. A leftover piece of the lace is used in the lower left corner of the card. Dress is pop-dotted on the script mat.

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Label 10 is used for the scrip paper mat which is pop-dotted on the card.
Spellbinders Eyelet Circles is used for the sentiment mat.
Just Rite Dare to Dream set - sentiment - Dare to Dream
Just Rite Custom Dies- Corners at the top of card. Yes, I hid the right corner with the sentiment..could not find a place to put that mat!!

Recollections floral embellishments accent the pretty papers. I like to make my flowers using the Cricut machine but these bought flowers seemed to be a good choice today.
A crinkled ribbon bow and a Wimpole Street Creations fabric doily complete the look. I discovered a bag of these doilies that I had purchased many years ago from a fabric shop at a very good discount price. Thought it was time to use one!

Have a Lovely Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with the Cricut and pretty laces again! Inspired by the photo and the design team's pretty work at The Shabby Tea Room, this is my results! Card is 5" x 7" cut from white Colorbok cardstock. The pretty papers are from DCWV The French Country Stack.  As you can see, some of these papers are glittered. Edges of the papers are distressed to give a shabby chic look.

Cricut Cartridges: 

Formal Occasion - Page 45 Fan is cut 3" from white and the pink paper. I have been wanting to try the fan image for some time and thought this would be a good focal point for the card. I ran the pink paper through the Cuttlebug using the Swiss Dots folder. A strip of lace is gathered and glued around the edges. After the lace was attached, I found another piece of lace that I wanted to add. I hand cut the pretty lace and layered it over the pink paper. That is right! I covered up most of the embossing- but I do like the looks of the fan now. Fan is pop dotted on the card for dimension.

Mother's Day Bouquet - Flower 8 is cut 1.5' and 1.25" from white card stock. Flower is attached on the fan. In the center of the flower is a pretty gold metal filigree button with a pink stone.

Just Rite Stamps- Be Happy Set - "Have a Lovely Day" is stamped with Biscotti ink.

Recollections - Gold rhinestones are added on the fan and on the lace corner.

A white crinkled ribbon bow completes the look!

Photo inspiration 

Challenge:

The Shabby Tea Room - Ch. 178 Lazy Days. Use colors from the photo and include a metal element.

I incorporated the blue, green, and white colors. Also gold from drapes and I used pink for the flower. Hope I did not use too much pink! Metal button!

 

Now who wants to relax in such a pretty setting as in the photo and maybe use the lacy fan!

Welcome Baby

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.

Spellbinders - Eyelet Circles. The largest size is used for the white mat. Pink ribbon is used around the mat and for the tiny bow.

Cuttlebug - Swiss Dots used on the eyelet circle mat.

Shabby Chic Flower

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Here I am again trying a shabby chic look for my card! Seldom do I have time to watch You Tube but with a little extra time lately, I entered a search for handmade shabby chic flowers. I was glad to find some wonderful tutorials by Fionna Jennings 664. Her work is gorgeous and I enjoyed watching a few of her videos! After viewing her video Shabby Chic Flower Tutorial - Less is More, I tried my hand at making the flower. Thanks Fionna for sharing your talents! I will be watching more videos!

The lace flower on my card is my take on the tutorial! This is fun and easy to make - just hard for me to choose which laces! I am pleased with the finished shabby flower. Laces, pink pearls, and the ribbon flower in the center were from my stash. I chose to use a pretty floral ribbon from blog candy winnings as my second layer rather than lace as in the tutorial. I need to start looking for pretty laces.

My card measures 5" x 7" cut from white cardstock. The paper is a leftover piece from a previous project. Trying to use all my scraps of the one piece, I hand cut the rose and vine strip off and added it to the lower section of the card. A strip of lace and the Recollections pink butterflies bling were attached on the edge of the strip. I was left with one small piece of paper. I cut that strip off at the scallops and added it at an angle to the top of the paper. Some of the pink pearls were used as accents. I like the results of my paper piecing!

Great way to use all the paper!

Cricut cartridge is Storybook. I cut each of the letters for the word LOVE at 1" from vellum paper.

Paper distressing and inking complete the look!

I am sharing my card at The Shabby Tea Room. Ch. 176 Fresh Summer Breeze..

Simple Pleasures

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a card that seems to be out of my color comfort zone. Most of you know that I love working with pinks, and of course, red and purple. However when I saw the weekly color challenge at  

The Shabby Tea Room, I was inspired to search for aqua and yellow papers.

My card measures 5" x 7" cut from white cardstock. Patterned papers are from paper pads that I have had for quite some time.

Cricut Cartridge: 

Country Life - Page 60 - Pitcher is cut 3". Pitcher is pop-dotted on the yellow mat. Phrase is cut 1.25"

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I had a little time to play with my Cricut and this is the results. My dear friend gave me the pretty paper pad quite some time ago and I could not make myself cut it until now! After seeing a couple of challenges, I decided to play along and cut the paper. It has glitter on some areas of the paper..not sure if you can see that in the photo. My card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock and layered with the floral print paper.

Cricut Cartridges:

Christmas/Noel - Window is cut at 5". I layered a piece of vellum behind the window panes for the peeking through look!

My first Cuttlebug Brocade Window card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

My Cuttlebug folders arrived! Whenever I saw the great sale on some older Cuttlebug folders at Cricut, I jumped at the chance to purchase the Emboss Plus 5" x 7" Brocade Window at $1.99. I wanted to buy more of the Emboss Plus folders, but they were already sold out.

This is my first card using the Brocade Window and I really like the looks! Card is 5" x 7" cut from a cream Recollections cardstock. The cut and embossed window is from The Paper Studio Light Burlap. For the window opening I used The Paper Studio Eloise Floral and the flowers are also cut from this paper.

Cricut Cartridge:

Mother's Day Bouquet - Flowers are cut using Flower 8 at varying sizes. 

Martha Stewart Fern punch used for the greenery. I do not know the name of that punch so I call it greenery punch. If you know the name, please tell me!

Like most of us, I have bought crafting items that I seem to hoard!  Last year, I bought pretty paper pad, brads, buttons, die cuts, and trinkets of Bo Bunny Little Miss collection. For today's project, I chose to use the dress form and the green scroll die cuts from the collection..love those colors! Dress form is pop-dotted on the card.

Other supplies from my stash include the Venice Lace Collection motif, crochet doily, the button that is in the doily and the Love button which is pop-dotted on the card. These buttons have been stashed a long time. Recollection Pearls and Michael's ribbon trim for the bow complete the look. Of course, lots of inking!
