Spring Fling Flower

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I found a little time to play with my Cricut machine! For the past two weeks, I have been working on my craft room. Looking forward to the completion so I can play in my new space!

This cream pre-cut card measures 5" x 6 1/2" when folded. Papers are from some of my favorite papers..K&Company. These are left over pieces of the 12"x 12" paper. I am playing along with the pretty sketch at Die Cuttin Divas.

Cricut Cartridges: I used my Cricut machine to cut all the layers.

Basic Shape: Using Insert Shape in Cricut Design Space, I inserted the square and changed it to a 6.37" wide x 4.87" high rectangle for the floral background paper. Cream Circle is cut 3.62".

Office Help - Purple mat is cut 5 1/2" wide x 4" high. Stripe mat is cut 3.25" wide x 2.75" high.

Spring Fling - Flower is cut 2.9" w x 2.5" high. Love is cut 2" wide x 1.19" high. Cricut Midnight pen is used for the drawing around the images. I enjoy the drawing feature for the images in this cartridge!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 187 The Olympics Are Coming

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! For Ch. 187 The Olympics Are Coming, our design team sister Sarah asked us to create a card or project with a sports theme. My grandson has an upcoming birthday and he loves playing baseball. Now I have his card made!

Card measures 5" x 5" cut from the lighter blue shade paper. I chose to use a red, white, and blue color theme. 

The image is from Cuttable Designs. It was one of the free images awhile back! Thank you Cuttable Designs for the images! I cut the design using my Cricut at 4.75" x 4.75" and layered it on the white paper. This will be a great image to use on a T-Shirt too!

Cricut Cartridges used for the inside of the card

Using Insert Shape in Cricut Design Space, I cut the dark blue paper at 4.5" x 4".

Cricut Craft Room Basics - Happy Birthday.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch.186 Just a Chillin'

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

It is time again for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! It is my time to choose the theme. We have been having hot weather in my area for the last few weeks, even worse, the humidity is so high. 

For Ch. 186 - Just a Chillin', I asked the team to do a project with ice cream. I thought an ice cream challenge would be cool and refreshing! Also, July is National Ice Cream Month, but I think ice cream is good in any month!

I am always needing birthday cards and the ice cream theme will work good. My card measures 6 1/2 x 5" white card stock. Patterned papers are Pressed Petals Assorted Cardstock with Glitter paper pack. Solid papers are from my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Sweet Treats - Ice Cream delight is cut 4" high. 

Thoughts and Phrases - Good Times -- Happy birthday balloon is cut 2.10" high. 

DMC Memory Thread is attached to the balloon to act as a string.. I also made a bow from the same thread. 

Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Sentiment Loving Thoughts is attached to an inserted 4.50"  x 2.25" rectangle. This is used inside the card. Cricut Midnight pen is used for the writing.

Christmas in July- Pull Out Fold Card 3

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am back again with another Pull Out Fold Card. Why not use up more of  the left over papers from the first two cards! My paper is from The Paper Studio Yuletide Joy paper pack. These papers are 12" x 12". The tutorial for the Pull Out Fold card can be found at Mary's CARDZ TV. I also used some of the same Cricut images as used on the two previous cards.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Winter Wonderland - Christmas Holly Berry is cut 2.5" wide.

Wild Card - Present is cut 1.35" wide x 3" high.

Merry and Bright - Merry Christmas is cut 2.25" wide. This image includes a frame, but I previously used the contour feature to hide the frame and saved only the words Merry Christmas in my files. Now I can adjust the size of Merry Christmas phrase to fit any project.

Teresa Collins December 25th - Snowflake border is cut 2" wide.

Friends are the best presents sentiment is from Mary's CARDZ TV Home for Christmas stamp set.

Pull out card.

I do like this style of card. As mentioned before, there are many possibilities for decorating the card. I hope you are inspired to try the Pull Out Card. I think the card will also work well with a Christmas decorating display.
