My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 185 Down at the Beach

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We are back with another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Our talented design team sister Sue has chosen the theme for Ch. 185 Down at the Beach. She asked that we make a project with a beach, seaside theme. Looking through recently added images in Cricut Design Space, I chose to do this beach chair set using pink, purple and white papers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Crazy Cute Cards - Beach Day Card is cut 21.01" x 23.45". Because this is my first time to use the images, I viewed the online handbook for the measurements and instructions. This size includes the chair, beach bag, and envelope. Finished size for envelope measures 5.5". I tried to follow the pictures for assembling the chair. I think it is done correctly--looks ok to me!

Summer Love - Beach Sign is cut 4.5" wide.

When I Was a Kid - Beach Day is cut 4.50" wide. This is used inside the beach bag. I left space for a personal note.

Elephant Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has been awhile since I have played with my Cricut machine. After several days of traveling through four states, I was ready to plug in the machine and make a card! My little elephant card measures 5 1/4" x 3 5/8". Papers from the scrap stash were used.

Cricuit Cartridges:

Paisley - Elephant. I welded two of the shadow images together to make an elephant shaped card. This was cut 5.25" wide x 7.17" high. Because this is made for someone special, I used some of her favorite colors.

Thoughts and Phrases - You are my Sunshine is cut 3" high...this is used inside the card.

A little doodling with a black pen and a purple crinkle ribbon from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces finishes the look!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 184 Land of the Free

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Saturday! It is time for a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! The theme for Challenge 184 is Land of the Free! Design Team sister Peachy asked that we make a project in red, white, and blue. I chose to make a Center Step Card using a pretty sheet of the Paper Studio Patriotic Damask paper. Solid colors are from the scrap stash. You can find the Center Step Card tutorial at SplitCoastStampers.

Cricut Cartridges:

Independence Day - Phrase Stars and Stripes is cut 3" wide. Large Patriotic heart is cut 1.75" wide and the smaller hearts are cut 1" wide. All images are pop-dotted on the card to add dimension.

Stand and Salute - Phrase Let Freedom Ring is cut 4.75" wide. This is used inside the card.

For the finishing touch, I used red and white twine to make bows. Thank you Diana at DL.ART for the pretty twine pack that I recently won.

Dad Fan Club

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With Father's Day fast approaching, I wanted to make a card for my grandkids to give to their Dad! The boys love playing baseball and their Dad loves watching them. Two nights during the week and weekends, they are at a baseball field. Card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" cut from Red Recollections cardstock. Baseball print papers and solid papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Father's Day - Dad Fan Club is cut 5" wide x 2.84" high. It is pop-dotted on the base card. All of the design is included in the image. I like the way it looks and chose not to add any additional images to the front of the card.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Father's Day sentiment is printed on a 4" x 3.50" piece of the baseball print paper using the insert image feature and Cricut midnight pen. The blue mat measures 4.50" x 4". This is used inside the card.

Cricut Spring Flower Pot Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

While searching through recently added images in Cricut Design Space, I noticed this pretty card and just had to try it. I chose to use similar colors as in the displayed card, but added my own touches! Paper is from Colorbok Cardstock 8.5" x 11" paper pad which has been in my stash for several years. 

Cricut Cartridges:

Crazy Cute Cards -  Spring Flower Pot Card is cut 27.10" wide x 10.73" high. This is my first time to see this image so I searched for information in the Cricut digital handbook. Cutting size and assembly instructions are listed. The cutting size also includes an envelope which requires larger sheet of paper than the pad I was using. I will mail my card in a white envelope.

Stamping - Just For You is cut 1.57" wide x 1.09" high.

For the finishing touches on the flower inserts, I used Mary's sentiments from CardzTV Encouraging Thoughts. The pretty Crinkle ribbon bow is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Love using my recent wins from Mary and Karen!

Hopefully I have all of this folded correctly....anyway, it looks like I do! Love that the card will stand!
