A Little Dancer

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with one of my neglected Cricut cartridges. Have you ever purchased a cartridge and then use it only one time in four years? Seems that is what happened with Twinkle Toes! I cut the 5" x 6 1/2" card from pink cardstock. All other papers are cut from my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridge:

Twinkle Toes - Dancer is cut 3.75" high. Banner is cut 3.97" wide. Dancer and banner are pop-dotted on card.

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots is used on the banner for a little dimension. A small yellow crinkle ribbon bow is added.

Challenges:

Another Floral Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Sadly and too quickly, I had to make another sympathy card. I used the same floral card image that I shared recently using the Cricut Anna's Cards and Embellishment cartridge. On the previous card, I used a pretty floral pattern paper as the liner behind the rose. This card is for one of my Red Hat friends who lost her husband. I chose to use this pretty purple paper behind the rose. The purple paper is double-sided with lavender made by The Paper Company. It has several colors of fibers running through the paper. Do you see the red? I just had to purchase all these pretty papers that the store had and they were on sale too! Of course, it was not too many left to be bought!

Card is cut 7" high from white cardstock and measures 5" x 7".  I added the word Love on the front of the card. That image is found on Cricut Sweethearts. Inside I used the lavender side of the paper.

The sentiment is also found on Anna's Cards and Embellishment cartridge. 

The first card can be seen here. Just a change of paper can make a completely different card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Anna's Garden Flourish Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

This is a pretty card image found on Cricut Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments. The card is cut from white Colorbok cardstock and the red paper is Recollections. Card is cut 9.96" wide x 7" high. It is called Flourish Card on the cartridge. I think this is such a pretty cut! I chose not to add any images to the face of card. It is a get well card to be mailed.

Inside the card, I used one of the pretty sayings found on the same cartridge. I used the Write feature with the Cricut Explore to write the sentiment on the white mat. The flourish is found on Cricut Elegant Embellishments.

I like this card so well that I wanted one in pink!

Solid pink paper is DCWV The French Country Stack and the patterned paper is from Paper Studio Country Road.

Anna Griffin Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

My card is inspired by a beautiful Anna Griffin card featured in Cricut Design Space Make It Now. It is called Anna Griffin Garden Butterfly Card Layout. My card is cut from Colorbok Pearlescent Paper Pack. All the papers (excluding the blue under the flowers) are pearlescent, but my camera did not do justice to those papers. 

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments-- Card is 5" x 7". I used the Make It Now feature. My Cricut had trouble cutting the butterfly that is shown with the card---kept tearing the papers. After a few attempts, I chose another butterfly from the same cartridge. Flowers and ferns are also from this cartridge.

Sophisticated Soiree - Chain Label for sentiment. Only one label is cut using the Make It Now instructions. I cut two labels using different colors-- ivory is 3.26" wide and the green is cut 3.50" w.

Words that are shown on front of the featured card are not given in the cuts. I chose to use Life is a Journey, and love is what makes that journey worthwhile. The sentiment was printed on the label using the midnight pen.

Flowers, butterfly and label are pop-dotted on card. An ivory crinkle ribbon bow is added to complete the card. My card does not look like the featured card, but I am pleased with the results. Each of us add our own personal touch!

I am sharing this at the following challenges:

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 216 Water a Flower Day -include a flower

FCCB - Ch. 251 May Flowers
