My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 174 Be My Valentine

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Yay! It is Saturday and that means it is time for a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! This week our design team sister Sandy is the hostess for Ch. 174 Be My Valentine. We are to use the colors, pink, white, or red! You may know by now, that I love pink so this challenge is perfect for me!

My project begins with a reversible paper of two pretty shades of pink from a Keepsake Essentials 12" x 12" Paper Pack. Guess I held on to it long enough!!

Cricut Cartridges:

Valentine's Day - Dear to my Heart card is cut 21.46" wide x 8.58" high. This image also includes an envelope. My folded card measures approximately 3.75" x 5.50". Just looking at the card in Cricut Design Space before it is loaded into the project page, I did not see all the pretty pen work on the heart and edges of the card. I thought Wow when the card actually loaded.

Sweetheart - Heart Petal Flowers are cut 1" wide and four at 1.25" wide. I cut these flowers from the reversed side of the paper for a little more interest.

Winter Frolic - Swirls are cut 3.50" wide without the shadow image.

Pink Crinkle Ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Love this pink!

Birthday Cupcake

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With a fast approaching birthday for my Mom, I  wanted to try a new card style. Browsing through card tutorials at SplitCoastStampers, I chose the Flap Fold Card. I do not have a 2 1/2" circle punch or die, so my thoughts turned to my Cricut machine. Maybe I could make the card with it! Well, this is my results! Card is cut 4.25" x 11" from blue DCWV textured cardstock. Using Cricut Design Space, I added score lines at the 2.5" and 6.75", then added a 2.50 " circle to cut the opening in my card. From there, it was playing with Cricut images to complete the card!

Cricut Cartridges:

Love You A Latte - Strawberry Cupcake is cut 1.25" wide and is pop-dotted on the scallop circle.

Elegant Edges - Circle Scallop is cut 2.3" wide x 2.28" high.

Once Upon a Princess - Cupcake Heart is cut 1.75" wide. It is pop-dotted on the card to hold the flap down.

Elegant Embellishments - Birthday is cut 2.25" wide.

Straight From the Nest - Cupcake corner is cut 2" wide. This was cut to use on the flap, but it seemed too large. Since it was cut, I added it on the inside sentiment mat. A hand written sentiment will be added.

Martha Stewart Daisy Dots was used for the decorative edge on the flap.

Warmest Wishes - Penguin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With a little Cricut play time, I made a card to play along with a few challenges. The card is 5" x 6 1/2" white card stock. The pretty snowflake patterned paper is from Recollections Starry Night paper pad. Solid papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Simply Charmed - Penguin is cut 2.5" high. This image is shown in Cricut Design Space using the pinks colors. Of course, I love working with pink so I had to use pink!

Savory - Cocoa cup and spoon is cut 1.25" high. The Explore did not cut the cocoa image that goes in the cup without tearing it. After several failed attempts, I hand cut that piece of brown. I would recommend these images be cut at a larger size.

Wild Card - Warmest Wishes is cut 2.50" wide.

Winter Lace - Snowflake cut 1.75" wide.

Cuttlebug - Snowflakes is used on the two hand cut snow banks. Also used on the pink bow for a little dimension.

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Penguin

Die Cuttin Divas - Ch. 249 _ Brrr! Hot Cocoa, Please!

FCCB - Ch. 268 Snow

Little Scrap Pieces - Saturday Linky Party

DL.ART - #172 Penguin or Black, Yellow, & White

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 173 Feelin' Fussy

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts! For this challenge, our design team sister Sarah has chosen "Feeling Fussy"...she asked that we include some fussy cutting in our project. Well, I believe this is a first for me. I enjoy using my Cricut cutting machine and images, so I had to think hard on this one!

I am trying to work on Valentine cards for my family. Since I have a lot of K&Company scrap papers from many previous projects, I chose to hand cut out some of the pretty images from several papers and combined them for this card. Card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". You will notice a row of hearts that I left together and then added the extra heart on the left. The two flowers and the word LOVE finishes the front. Maybe I was not "fussing" too much, but I knew the Cricut machine would have cut images much faster than me! 

Thanks Sarah for the fun challenge! It is always good to try something different in paper crafting!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I decided to start working on my cards! I thought this cute little owl would be perfect for my daughter! Card 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. Patterned papers are K&Company- these are left over scrap papers from previous projects.
