Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Memorial Day! Hope each of you are enjoying the long weekend! May we pause to remember those that have given their all for our freedom. Thank you for those that have served and are now serving.

It is time for another fun and inspirational challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Julia is again hosting the challenge this week with a Garden theme. This can be anything you find in a garden and using any Cricut cartridge. It can be a card, layout, or 3-D project!

My card measures 6 1/2" x 5" and is cut from green Colorbox cardstock. When I saw the pretty sketch at Card Patterns for this week, I was inspired to use the sketch for my card.

My card is blooming with flowers! The pretty floral paper and solid papers were in my stash.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 86 Summer Lovin'

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Yay! It is Saturday and time for a fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Our talented design team sister Peachy chose "Summer Lovin" as the theme for this week. Your project can be a card, layout, altered item, etc. With the kids now out of school for the summer, I made a kid friendly card!  My little guys like to kick off their shoes, play in the yard, and see what they can get into! That can be a lot!

My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" cut from brown Bazzill cardstock. The other papers are from my scrap stash.

Down on the Farm Scene

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Mother's Day! Hope you are having a great day!

It was a rainy day here on Saturday. After housecleaning and laundry, I was able to play with my Cricut and design this card with the farm scenes. This really took a lot of time with the cutting and layering but I am happy with the results. I enjoy living in the country and enjoy the country scenes!

The card is cut from a piece of white Colorbok cardstock at 8" x 9" and  folded in half to make a 4" x 9" tall card. The background paper is Recollections Light Blue Distressed. I was happy to find this in my stash and thought it would be good for the sky. All other papers are from my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Country Life - Looks like I am showcasing this cartridge as I added many of the images to the card.

Page 43 and 44 - Hen 1 and Hen 2 cut 1.25". I first cut the images smaller but the paper kept tearing in the Cricut so I had to increase the size.

Page 52 - Apple tree cut 2.75

Page 58 -  Barn cut 2.75"

Page 58 - Phrase Down On The Farm cut 1".

Page 63 - Windmill cut 2.50". Of course it had to be cut in yellow and green!

Page 72- Countryside on shift cut 2"- one was cut on flip. This is the greenery at the bottom of card. Using the layer1 on shift, cut two greenery at 1".

Page 73 - Wildflower image on shift for the green grass cut 1.5". This is the 2 light green grasses at fence.

Create a Critter

Page 29 - Sun cut 1.5"

Page 69 - Red Flowers (Accessory key) cut 1.5"

I used lots of inking which was a tough job with the smaller pieces. I had more on my fingers than on paper!

Challenges:

My Craft Spot - Ch 55 - Down on the Farm (farm animals, barn, country, etc.)

Simply Crafts -  Create a Critter Cartridge - Sun

Hope you enjoy my card!
