Easter Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing an Easter card. Card measures 4.25" wide x 5.50" high. Papers are Recollections yellow, Recollections Shimmer Cardstock White gold, and Colorbok white.

In Cricut Design Space, I used the Insert Shape feature to add a square on the canvas. It was changed to 8.5" wide x 5.5" high rectangle, a score line added, and image cut from the yellow cardstock to make the card. Purple rectangle is cut 4" wide x 5.25" high.

 

Cricut Cartridges: 

Picturesque -  Oval was sliced from the 4.104" wide x 5.345" high white rectangle.

Easter Egg Hunt Printables - Easter egg is Print and Cut at 1.856" wide x 3.673" high. It is printed on the shimmer paper and looks pretty. With the rainy day we are having, I was unable to get good photos.

Happy Easter Printables - Bunny is Print and cut at 1.484" wide x 1.556" high. It is pop-dotted on front of card.

For inside the card, Happy Easter is print and cut at 2.677" wide x 4. 097" high.

Cuttlebug Scrollwork embossing folder is used on the white mat.

My First Screen Divider Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

For this card, my friend Cathy challenged me to make a Screen Divider Card. This is another new card style for me. I chose to make a Spring birthday card for a friend. I looked at tutorials and card examples on Pinterest. I followed along with the video directions by Dawn O. Papers are Colorbok white, Recollections green, and Anna Griffin patterned paper.

Rather than cutting the card and panels using a hand cutter, I added the measurements in Cricut Design Space and let my Cricut Maker do its magic!

Cricut Cartridges:
Using Insert Shapes in Cricut Design Space, I added a square and sized it to 11" wide x 5 1/2" high. It is scored at 2 3/4", 5 1/2", and 8 1/4". Fold card in center, then outer sections back on itself.

Insert Shapes for the panels - 2.25" wide x 4" high for patterned paper panel, 2.42" wide x  4.15" high for the green panels.

Lacy Labels  - Label #M3D540 - I used a portion of the larger label of the group and the slice feature to remove the lower part of the four white sections. I did not have a suitable punch so I tried it with my Cricut. 

Anna's Vintage Florals - Carolina 2 -Larger group of flowers, Clusters - white and pink group.

Anna's Vintage Phrases - Happy Birthday and Fun with Friends

Anna's Planner - Rose Dot Flag cut 2.25" wide x 1.859" high

Anna's Fantastic FlipCards - Butterfly 1.15" wide x 1.162" high

Martha Stewart Swirling Lace Edge Punch used on the top of the screen divider.

I like the way this turned out. Of course, I had to use my favorite colors - pink and green. I think it will be pretty displayed on a desk or tabletop. Hope you like it and maybe you are inspired to try this different card style.

Explosion Card For My Friend

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Card Style Challenge to my friend Cathy was to make an Explosion Card. I have made an Explosion Card before, but for today's card I followed a tutorial on Anna Griffin Inc. Facebook page. This card is 7" wide x 5" high. Other tutorials can be found on Pinterest. Papers are Anna Griffin.

Paper used for the explosion pop out is cut 10" x 10". This is used inside the card.

Anna's Flourish Cards and Embellishments - Flourish is cut 6" wide x 2.978" high.
Anna's Roses -  Roses on the front of card. Double roses used inside the card.

Using a 1" x 12" strip of paper from the leftover paper of the explosion cut, I made a rosette for the front of card. Brad from my supply stash finishes the rosette.

Sentiment "For My Friend" is from one of Anna's card making kits. Pop-dots are used on front of card. 

Cuttlebug Anna Griffin Matelasse embossing border is used on the green strip.

Inside the card:
Anna's Bridal and Baby Soirees- Bridal Doily is cut 3.50". I cut two of these.
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2  - Sentiment " With Love" is written with the Cricut Midnight pen on one bridal doily.

Another Thank You Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing another card made using a Cricut Design Space Anna Griffin project with my Cricut Maker. Wanting to make a pretty Thank you card, I chose to use pinks, green, and floral print for the cut images.

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Window Ledge Cards - The card is cut 10" x 7" from pink recollection cardstock. All images are cut at size brought into Cricut Design Space. I love the window, window box, and awning images on this cartridge! Just For You sentiment, flowers, and bushes are print and cut images.

Cuttlebug Anna Griffin Regal Braid embossing folder was used on the front on the card.

Pop-dots were used on the flowers and sentiment banner for added dimension.

Inside of card.

Using Insert Shape feature, a square was sized to 4.75" wide x 6.75" rectangle for the floral mat.

Cricut Anna's Summer Soirees - Pool Label is cut 4.25" wide x 3.286" high from white cardstock.

Cricut Anna's Flourish Cards & Embellishments - Sentiment "Your Kindness Is A Treasured Keepsake" is written on the white label using the Cricut Pink Crystal pen.

I like the results. Hope you do too!
