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!

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Flowers

Celebrate the Occasion - Ch. 112  3 Flowers, 2 buttons, 1 Ribbon,

CWC - Ch. 134 Lace

Happy Mother's Day! 

I'm sharing a few variations on a card that I recently posted. 

This is the free Mother's Day Card 06 that was posted in the Cricut Craft Room. Of course, I had to go with Red and Purple for a few Red Hat Ladies! Flowers are from Cricut Mother's Day Bouquet. Each of the backgrounds is embossed with a different Cuttlebug folder.

Hope you have great day!

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.

Challenges:
