BBTB2 - Sun Challenge

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Monday! Time for another fun and inspirational Cricut challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Susanne is hostess this week and she chose "Here Comes The Sun". We are ask to use a Cricut sun to celebrate Summer! The sun can be from any Cricut cartrige and you may do a card, layout, or a 3D project!

My card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. I was happy to find the tropical paper in my scrap paper stash and was inspired to make this little beach scene. All my papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridge: Pack Your Bags

Page 44 - Phrase cut 1.25" 80 degrees and Sunny. Of course, it is much hotter at my home!

Page 67 - Beach scene cut 4.25".

Page 30 - Stamp cut 1". Such a cute little sandcastle!

Cuttlebug:

Divine Swirls - Water

Swiss Dots - Sand

Textile - Umbrella

Floral Fantasy - Little flower on the sandbucket

Spellbinders M-Bossabilities - Flora Reversible Folder- Design B. These are pretty and economical folders because you get two designs. I do cut these with my Cuttlebug. After embossing,  I used the reverse side of the design on the top of the card. I like the looks of the indented leaves with the tropical background paper.

BBTB2 - Birthday and Pearls

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Monday! It is time for another fun challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Stephanie is the hostess this week and she chose the theme Birthday and Pearls!

Many of the Cricut cartridges have a card feature with pretty and unique shapes. I chose to use a card feature for the base of my card for this challenge. Papers are K&Company double-sided papers which work really well for the card feature.

Cricut Cartridges:

Damask Decor - Page 64 - Gift. Using the Card Feature on shift, the image is cut at 5" for the card base. Card feature without shift is cut using another patterned paper for the top of the card.The gift shaped card will be a nice birthday card!

Wild Card - Page 61 - Phrase Happy Birthday is cut 6.5". This sentiment is seen inside the card. A personal message could be written on a mat and placed on left side of card.

Other supplies:

Seems like I am on a rosette kick lately! I wanted to dress up the front of the card and I found this small rosette which was too small for a prior project. It is made from papers from the same paper pack. Love these double sided papers because they coordinate so well! The rosette is cut 3/4" and measures 1 1/2" finished. I hand cut a small banner to place under the rosette.

Pearls are from my stash. Inking is Versa Magic Gingerbread.

Your comments are appreciated!

Just Rite color challenge

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Thanks for stopping by today! Today's card is inspired by the Just Rite Challenge # 075 - Color Challenge of Aqua, Apricot, and Orange. When I saw the colors for the challenge and the design team's pretty and inspirational work, I thought of some K&Company double-sided papers that I have had for a long time. Sometimes a friend and I will buy paper pads and divide the papers. These are such papers and I do not know the name of this particular K&Company pad. These are not colors that I normally use, but I enjoyed working with the papers and colors for the challenge!

Card is 5" x 6 1/2" brown cardstock and is layered with a patterned 5" X 6 1/2" designer paper. The design is a play with one of the sketches from June 2012 PageMaps.

I know you are seeing a lot of rosettes on my projects lately but I enjoy making rosettes. The designer paper is cut 1" and scored at each 1/4". An aqua blue brad is placed in the middle and then I added the rhinestone for a bit of bling!

Cricut Cartridge: Lovely Floral - Butterfly cut 1.75". Stickles used on the butterfly for a little bling. Would you believe I could not find the appropriate size rhinestones in my stash!

Just Rite - Friendship Nested Sentiments. Yay! I received a few more stamps!

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Class Scalloped Rectangles Largest used on the mats and third largest used on the sentiment mat.

Spellbinders M-Bossabilities - Splendid Design B

Trims are from a friend! Thanks so much Charlotte. I enjoyed working with the pretty trims on the card!

Other supplies include aqua rhinestones and Versa Magic Gingerbread inking. The Sentiment mat and butterfly are pop-dotted.

Be sure to visit Just Rite challenge blog and see all the great inspiration by the design team. You have until Wednesday June 27 at 6:00 P.M. Central to enter your project!
