My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 156 Birthday Bash

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Ch. 156 is Birthday Bash chosen by our design team sister Marge. She asks that we create a Birthday Card and a Coordinating Envelope.

My card measures 6" x 6" cut from a white Colorbok cardstock. Patterned papers are from DCWV The French Country Stack. The pretty papers have a touch of glitter which I did not capture with the photo.

Cricut Cartridge:

Elegant Embellishments -  I love Anna Griffin's images! They are so pretty!

Square Doily is cut 5.5" wide from the pink and green patterned paper and is layered on white.

Flower is cut 3" wide from pink patterned and pink solid papers.

Butterfly is cut 2.25" wide from a lt. blue patterned paper and layered on pink.

Bows are cut 1.25" wide. Flourish under the butterfly is cut 4.40" wide from white.

Birthday is cut 3.35" wide from white and layered on pink.

Scallop edge Flourish is cut 6.2" wide...used on the envelope.

Flourish used on back side on envelope. Oops, I do not see the size.

Butterfly and flower are on pop dots for added dimension to the card.

 Inside of card

Cricut Wildcard Cartridge is used for the envelope. It is actually called invite envelope. I cut it at 10" from white Colorbox. Pink flourish is on a pop dot to hold the envelope. This card and envelope will be hand delivered.

Winnie the Pooh

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have many Cricut images that I never seem to use. Today's card features some of those images that I chose to play with...Winnie the Pooh. The card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock layered with a Colorbok light blue paper for the background. Others papers are from stash.

Cricut Cartridge: 

Disney Pooh and Friends - Pooh's house is cut 6.2"w, 4.66"h. Pooh is cut 2.75"h. Pooh word is cut 1.5"w., grass is cut .75"h. I first cut a smaller Pooh Bear, but some of the intricate facial cuts did not do well. As Pooh would say "Think, think". I chose a bit larger size.

Cuttlebug folder - Kassies's Brocade is used on the tree for a bit of dimension and interest. As in cartoons, it does not have to be a plain tree!

Challenge:

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 213 - Kid theme- In honor of Cartoonist Day May 5th

Thanks for your visit! Maybe Pooh will bring a smile!

A Spring Garden

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are still having a wet Spring, but those Spring showers bring May flowers! I played with my Cricut Explore to create a little garden scene. Card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. All papers are from the scrap stack - a good way to use to all those smaller papers for these smaller cuts.

Cricut Cartridges:

April Showers - Phrase "Spring Garden" is cut 2.50"w.

Celebrate with Flourish - Sun/Cloud is cut 3"w.

Create a Critter - Tulips cut 1.50"h., Butterfly is cut .75"w.

Freshly Picked - Garden Gate is cut 2.50"h., Hoe is cut 2"h., Hat is cut 1.25"w.

I enjoyed creating the little Spring Garden. Working with the Cricut Explore makes it very easy to find the images. Although, I do take a lot of time choosing which image is better for my purpose--so many pretty images to choose from! I would like to work in my flower beds but we had rain during the night. Now I hear thunder! Maybe a day to play with the Explore!!

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Either/or both a sun or cloud

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 212 Something you would find in a garden.

FCCB - Ch.249 Welcome Spring - Whatever reminds you of Spring.
My Time To Craft! -Ch. 289 Spring Flowers

Hope you enjoy this card! Thanks for your visit and comment!

Life is a Beach Flamingo

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I found a little time this afternoon to play with my Cricut machine. Looking through some of my neglected cartridges, I chose this flamingo card feature found on Life is a Beach. Hibicus paper is from scrap stack.

Cricut Cartridges:

Life is a Beach - The card is cut from white Colorbok card stock at 5.5". The flamingo is cut out on the card. Front of card is lined with the hibicus paper. Using the individual flamingo image from the cartridge I sized it to cover the image cut on the card. Size was 1.49"w x 2.74"h. Leaf is cut 1.09"w x 1.3"h.

Thanksgiving -  Thank you is cut 2.58"w x 2.00"h from the white cardstock.

I added some inking and a small green rhinestone for the eye. Simple card but I think it makes a great thank you card for someone who likes a flamingo!

Challenge:

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 211 - Zoo Awareness- animal you would find at a zoo.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 155 Happy Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Our design team sister Sandy chose the theme for Challenge 155 Happy Mother's Day - Something Girly. Now if I were making this card for myself, it would be pink and frilly! I am the only one in my family that really likes pink....so I chose another color scheme for my Mom.  Papers are from Prima The Second Wind. I think my mother will love this card!

Cricut Cartridges:

Elegant Embellishments - Card is cut 7.87"w 5.50"h. I like the cut out edges on the top layer of the card.

Mother's Day Phrases - Happy Mother's Day is cut 3.50"w 2.65"h. The flowers are also part of the cut.
