Mother's Day Explosion Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

I have another Mother's Day card to share with you. After viewing pretty explosion cards and some are called pop out explosion cards, I wanted to try making one. There are many tutorials available on the construction of this card style.

 

My project started with a card base cut at 4.50" x 9", when folded makes a 4.50" x 4.50" card. The pretty double-sided papers are from Anna Griffin Rose Medley pack. The paper insert is cut 8.50" x 8.50". This is the folded part that is used inside.

Cricut Cartridges:

Fantastic Flip Cards - Heart Embellishment is cut 3.285" x 3.054". I cut 2 of the cut out hearts and one of the solid hearts. Sentiment "I Love You" is written on an inserted 3.5" wide x 2.25" rectangle of the pink solid paper which is used inside the card.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Mother's Day is written with the Cricut Midnight pen on the scallop pink heart embellishment.

Anna's Print then Cut Library - Rose is used on the Happy Mother's Day heart.

 

I cut a 1.25" wide green band to wrap around the card. 

Cricut Create a Critter - Word Mom. This is applied to the second heart embellishment. It is pop-dotted on the band. 

Outside of card with the band.

I really like the way this turned out and of course, I love the pinks and greens! Hope you enjoy!

Mother's Day Window Box Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Yay! I received the new Anna Griffin digital cartridge!  Of course, I had to play! Papers are from Anna Griffin Amelie.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Window Box Cards - The box card image comes into design space at 10.406" wide x 8.753" high. The box is cut from the double-sided yellow paper.

Large scroll embellishment is cut 2.603' wide x 4.125" high. I also cut a smaller scroll but did not record the size.

Flowers are print and cut and turned out so pretty. I used geraniums, roses, and camellias of varying sizes.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Mother's Day is written on the white mat using the Cricut Honeysuckle Pen. It does not show well, but I liked the pen color with the paper colors.

Cuttlebug:

Anna Griffin Matelasse embossing folder is used on the white mats on the sides of the boxes for added dimension.

I love the way this turned out. I will be making more of this card style. Hope you enjoy!

Mother's Day Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I saw a pretty Make It Now card in the Cricut Design Space Project area and thought it would make a pretty Mother's Day card. Also, I noticed it is the available free cartridge this week. Just had to try it!

I love the print and cut images on this!

Cricut Cartridges:

Kim Byers Mother's Day.....Card measures 5.5" x 4.25" and envelope is sized to fit. 

To add my own spin on the card, I duplicated and resized the two flowers to add on the base of card and envelope.

Mother's Day 2015 - Happy Mother's Day is cut 3.50" wide x 2.812" high. This is used inside the card.

Envelope and inside of card.

The center flower image is pop-dotted on the card. I added some pink inking and a few pearls to add more interest. I like the results of the card so well that I actually made 2 cards. My mom passed last year and it is kinda hard making Mother's Day cards. I miss Mom and in memory of her, I will give these cards to recognize the oldest and youngest Moms at my church on Mother's Day!

Baseball Shirt

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I purchased a Cricut Easy Press several months ago (actually last November) and finally decided to try it out! I do not work with vinyl that much, but now I may try it more often! 

 

Cricut Cartridge:

Life Is A Party  -- Baseball

Cricut Font: Varsity Letter Narrow. Using the curve feature in Cricut Design Space, I positioned the letters in BASEBALL for the curve.

I used Cricut Iron On Vinyl in red and white. 

I am happy the way the design turned out and my daughter likes the shirt. That is all that matters, huh??

 

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Hat Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Now I am making hat boxes! Well, actually my first one! Are you surprised that it is not Red and Purple! My first one has to be pink! I may have to try those colors soon!

The images are from Dreaming Tree. Hat box is the Skimmer Hat Box SVG. Box base is cut from white Colorbok cardstock. The pretty floral paper is Anna Griffin Blythe Paper Pad. Because I selected the pretty rose paper, I chose to use the Rose SVG from Dreaming Tree Alluring Florals Bundle for my flowers. Of course, all images were cut using my Cricut Explore.

Side view.

The box goes together easily using Dreaming Tree video for the project. The lid lifts up for a gift or storage area. I will use the pretty decorated hat box in my craft room to remind me of the beautiful Spring roses in bloom!

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!
