Just A Note!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with one of my forgotten Cricut cartridges. Cricut Just A Note cartridge was one of the free cartridges available with the purchase of the Cricut Expression 2. I am happy to see that it is  available for my use in the Cricut Design Space. I like how these cards have so many different shapes. Patterned papers are from a K&Company double-sided pad. Other papers are left over from previous projects.

Cricut Cartridge: Just A Note

Card cut 11"w x 5.48"h. Folded card measures approximately 3/3/4" x 5.5". Guess that is why it is called Just a Note!!

When the card is inserted into the Design Space, the Feel better sentiment is included on the screen. The sentiment is cut 3.39"w x 2.22"h. It does not include any layers for the sentiment. There is one Feel better image that has several layers so different paper colors can be used. However I did not see a layer for the first e in the word Feel. I chose to use only one paper. 

The Bear has several layers. It was cut 3.82"w x 4.18"h.

 Card with left side slightly opened.

Above two photos show the card laying flat. For the inside of the card, I hand cut a layered mat for a personal sentiment to be written.
Surprise! I only used one Cricut cartridge! This cartridge has some cute card images!

Day 13 - Valentines Cone Boxes

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with more pretty K&Company double-sided Valentine papers. I enjoy working on Valentine's Day cards and projects!

Cricut cartridges:
Victorian Romance - Cone box is cut 8.25"h.
Sweethearts - Love heart tag is cut 2.5"h.

The cone boxes and heart layers are quickly cut with the Cricut Explore.The machine also cuts out the intricate cuts very well! The score marks for folding are not easily seen on patterned paper, but I managed the fold.

I made several of the cone boxes which will be used for treat boxes. I added candy inside each box and some of the boxes have pencils added too. I decided not to add the little love tag on all the boxes. Some boxes are for adults and some are for children.

Day 12 - Valentines

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing another Valentine card. Now this is my type of Valentines--pinks and chocolates!! Images are cut using the Cricut Explore and Design Space. The card is white cardstock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". The pretty chocolate candy patterned paper is from K&Company Cupid Speciality paper pad. I love K&Company double-sided paper. All the Valentine paper that I have been using is some that I have had for a few years and I have plenty more Valentine paper!

Cricut Cartridges:

Valentine's Sweets digital set - Box of chocolates cut 3.25"h.This is one of those images that I just had to have--knew it would work good with the paper. Have you ever bought something just to use on one certain paper!!

Elegant Edges - White and pink mats. Love the cut out hearts on this image. Mat was cut 4"h.

Doodlecharms - Heart charm. This image is found on page 85 of handbook. I cut it at 1.75"h.

I am still trying to learn new things about the Explore. For the heart charm, I used the word box, Cricut Alphabet and Cricut wine pen to write the word Love on the white heart. I think it turned out good!

To attach the heart charm, I attached memory thread to the heart, formed a heart with the thread and wrapped it around the pink gemstone. EK corner punch was used for the corner papers.

Inside of card.

Cricut Valentine's Sweets was used for Happy Valentine's Day seen inside the card. Can you see that it is four layers to this image? The chocolate candy on the white mat was part of the Valentine's Sweet box of chocolate.

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