NOEL

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Christmas card. I love the Cricut Christmas images and how this card turned out!

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna's Christmas Cards and Embellishments - Evergreen Boughs Card is cut 9.19" wide x 6.5" high. I chose to used the card with the holly leaves on the bottom rather than on the side. I hand cut a small strip of red to place behind the cut openings of the card and for the berries.
The sentiment Wishing You Joy is used inside the card.
Anna's Winter Wonderland - NOEL is cut 5" wide x 2.75" high. This image uses four colors of paper and works well to be the main focus of the card.

Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving! Now my thoughts turn to Christmas decorating and making cards! This card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and is cut from Recollections red cardstock. Patterned papers are from my scrap stash. I am playing with the fun Sketch 10 from Mary at CARDZ TV.

Script folder was used on the circle. Kassie's Brocade was used on the two rectangles. I like the looks of the embossing.

My Sheri's Crafts - Ch. 195 Winter

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Sue is hostess of  Challenge 195 - Winter. She asks that we create a project that has anything to do with Winter: Christmas, snow, hot chocolate, etc. 

Some time back, I was lucky to win a SVG certificate from FCCB sponsored by The Dreaming Tree. So many pretty SVG files are available on the site and it took me awhile to choose. I chose the lovely Christmas Bendi Cards SVG bundle. As it was a Christmas selection, I am just now playing with the file. This is also my first try with a Bendi card. I love the image and how great it all went together. I used black for the Santa sleigh against the snowflake background paper that I had chosen. I used sizes as given in the instructions. I am really pleased with the results! Many thanks to FCCB and The Dreaming Tree

Visit My Sheri Crafts to see the pretty designs by the talented design team. For more information and details, visit our indivdual blogs. 

Now it is your turn to play along with us. We look forward to seeing your pretty projects!
