Lace Poinsettia Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

During the recent Black Friday sale at Cricut, I treated myself to three of the newer Anna Griffin cartridges. I love her work! I was so happy when the cartridges arrived. Love the Christmas Cards!

Using the Anna's Christmas Cards cartridge and the Make It Now feature on Cricut Design Space, the card I am sharing is the first one I made. Gold foil paper for the background is from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions 2011. Had that a long time!! Other papers are from my scrap stash! Card measures approximately 5 1/2" x 4" when folded. I added my extra touches with the red crinkle bow and red and gold Stickles on the leaves and flowers.

Cricut Christmas Kitsch is used for the Merry Christmas sentiment. I cut it 3.50" wide.

Santa

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Twas a few days before Christmas and I am still playing with the Cricut! This card is cut using a stripe paper from Craft Smith Olde Time Christmas paper pad. While shopping recently I saw this pretty paper pad and just had to buy it. It has a linen look to the paper. Guess I have a weakness for papers! Maybe Santa will bring more papers!

Cricut Cartridge:

Christmas Kitsch - Santa Card is cut 19.16 wide x 7" high. This size includes an envelope. When folded the card will measure 5 1/2" high x 4 1/4" wide. I added a Gelly roll pen doodling on the hat.

 Inside the card!

For the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the designer paper to line up with the front of the card.

The pretty stamp is from Cardz TV Home for Christmas which I won recently at CardZ TV. I think the stamp added the finishing touch. I used handcut mats--red larger mat is cut 3.25" x 2.25" and white mat is cut 3" x 2". In placing the sentiment mat, the mat should not be showing when the card is folded.

Outside of card.

Hope you enjoy the jolly Santa card! I made a similar card last Christmas. You can view it here.

Ornament Glass Block

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I purchased a few glass blocks last year to make Christmas gifts but I never had time to make one. Where did this year go! With Christmas Day fast approaching, I gathered the supplies and got busy! Glass block and lights were bought at Hobby Lobby. Ribbon and vellum were in my stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Celebrate with Flourish - Ornament is cut 1.99" wide x 3" high using some solid papers that were in my scrap stash.

Christmas - Happy Christmas is cut 3" wide x 1.41" high.

Because I have only limited colors of vinyl, I chose to add the Cricut images to a piece of vellum which was then attached to the glass block with Memory Book glue dots. Vellum can be removed and the glass block can be decorated for other occasions. I like the looks of this without the strand of lights showing through. Also, it is pretty just sitting on a table when the lights are not being used.

Decorate to Celebrate - Ch. 115 Anything Goes
