Welcome to Glenda's Cards

I have been wanting to make a Napkin Fold card using reds and purples! Of course, it is for a Red Hat Lady! When I saw the current challenge at Just Rite Inspiration is to use more than one fold on a card, I got busy!

The card begins with a 12" x 12" piece of red Recollections paper. Purple paper is Bazzill and the purple check is Recollections. The paper inside the card is DCWV Posies Glitter print. Choosing where to use the different papers took awhile, but I am pleased with the results!

I followed the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers. The paper is scored at 3" and 9", then turn the paper. Score again at 3" and 9". Now the fun begins with all the folding! Check out the tutorial and video for the complete instructions.

Inside of the card! 

Spellbinders Nestabilities:

Eyelet Circles - Sentiment circles on the band. Blossom for the small floral mat on the band.

Label 10 - Sentiment mats on the inside of the card. 

Just Rite Spellbinders - Corners

Just Rite Stamps: Old Friends Set on the band. Nested Sentiments on the inside. I am still learning to work with stamps!

Martha Stewart: Flower Shower Punch Around the Page set. Also the fern greenery...I do not know that name.

Cricut Cartridge: Lacy Labels. The rolled rose is on Heart3 which is the 4th image from the right on the last row. The rose is cut using the layer feature and cut at 12". I know that sounds really large but you see the finished size. This is my first time trying a rolled rose-- need more practice, but I am liking these flowers

Recollections gemstones, pop-dots on the band, white ribbon from stash. Color Box lilac and Versa Magic Gingerbread inking.

Challenges:

Just Rite - Ch. 080 More Than One Fold

Hope you enjoy this Napkin Fold card and are inspired to try one too! This is a bulky card so it needs a box or may be hand delivered.

Thanks for your comments!

BBTB2 - All Shaped Up

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun and inspirational Cricut challenge at BBTB2!. Our talented design team sister Stephanie asked us to make a shaped card. Use any Cricut cartridge and any theme.

I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to play with Damask Decor and try one of the card features with the shaped front! I used Martha Stewart Holidays double-sided papers that were in my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Damask Decor - Page 70 - Card feature is cut at 5.5" in  CCR. Layer 1 is the dark green paper under the tree. The completed card measures 5.5" x 3.5". An envelope image is also available but I have not cut it yet.

Christmas/Noel - Seasons Greetings is cut .75" for the inside of the card.

 

Inside of card!

 

This is a simple card but I do like the results. Most of my actual time was spent on choosing which double-sided papers to use. But I always take a lot time choosing my papers! Maybe if I would quit buying papers, I would not have too many choices!

Be sure to visit BBTB2 and see all the pretty and creative card shapes by the design team. For more information on the projects, please visit the individual blogs! We love your comments!

We are looking forward to seeing your creations! Remember you must use the Cricut! Just a reminder that our challenges run for only one week so get crafting! One person would be chosen to receive the Project of the Week award!

Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your comments!

 

My Sheri Crafts - Last Day to Wear White

Welcome  to Glenda's Cards

Are you ready for another fun challenge at My Sheri Cards! With Labor Day traditionally being the last day to wear white, our design team sister Sarah challenges us to use White on White. Of course this can be a card or any project as long as it is white on white.

My card measures 5" x 6 1/2 " cut from Colorbox white paper. Would you believe that I did not use any Cricut cuts on this card!

Cuttlebug -  Madison folder. This is a 5x7 folder that I found on clearance at Hobby Lobby recently. I embossed a piece of white paper and layered it on the card front.

Cheery Lynn - French Pastry Doily Die was used for the scallop mat.

Martha Stewart - Lace Scallop Heart. I punched out three hearts to give it dimension--no room to use a pop-dot.

Recollections - White pearls  and 3 Girls Jam Crinkle Ribbon.

That is my white on white card. I am pleased with the looks of the card. I did not add a sentiment on the front of the card, but I am thinking it will be a needed anniversary card.

Be sure to stop by My Sheri Crafts and see all the beautiful projects by the design team and our guest designer. For more details on our projects, please visit the individual blogs. We appreciate your comments!

Now it is your turn to make a white on white card or project and enter the challenge. Several Ooh La La awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer!

BBTB2 - Back to School

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time again for another fun and inspirational Cricut challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team member Brenda is the hostess for our Back to School challenge. You can use any Cricut cartridge for your card, layout, or project, as long as it is about going back to school! We ask that you mention the name of the Cricut cartridges used for your project in your blog post.

For my project, I decided to do a scrapbook page. Earlier in the year, I received a DCWV Assorted Open Stock paper pack entitled School Days. This page is Foil Learning Tree from that pack. I thought Cricut cuts would accent the cute apple tree and the letters around it which are printed on the designer paper. It is not very noticeable in the photo, but the apples are a red foil paper.

Cricut Cartridges:

Wrap it Up- Page 27  School house card is cut 6.50". While cutting some school house images for an earlier posted project, I cut two cards giving me the extra card for this project.

Nate's ABC's - Page 22 Bus cut 1.50". Page 68 Pencil cut 2.5". Page 49 - Grass is cut 2". The letters A, B, C and numbers 1, 2, 3 are cut at 1".

Celebrate with Flourish - Back to School is cut 2".

Photo of the inside of the card! I will add a photo of my grandson who started the second grade and the journalling later. I do not have the photo yet.

Other supplies: The Paper Studio ribbon...looks like it need ironing!

Transparent photo corners are used on the back part of the schoolhouse card. I did not glue it down on the page. 

Versa Magic Gingerbread inking.

BBTB2 - Vacation

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at BBTB2! Our talented Carole is hostess for this challenge and she chose Vacation. Use any Cricut cartridge to feature a vacation/holiday. Starting today with this challenge, each challenge will run for only one week.

I have not taken a vacation yet this year, but I wanted to play along with my newest Cricut cartridge. Recently Michael's had Cricut cartridges on sale and my nearest store had only one of the Wild Card 2 cartridges. I spent a Christmas gift card for the purchase. Would you believe that I have held a gift card that long!

Cricut Cartridge:

Wild Card 2 - Page 54 - Camper is cut 4.25" using the card feature and shadow. Main cuts and the layer feature were also cut at the same size. Using papers from my scrap stash, the plaid makes a fun little camper.

For the inside of the card, I used Phrase and Phrase layer features cut at 2". Home Is Where You Are! 

Cuttlebug: Distressed Stripes

Other supplies include Versa Magic gingerbread inking, white Gelly Roll pen and gold stickles.

Working in the Cricut Craft Room, I was unable to hide the cut marks for the fold lines. These are simple folds and really do not need a cut mark. Maybe CCR can work this out soon.

Visit BBTB2 to see all the fun and creative projects by the design team. For more information about a project, visit the individual blogs!  We love your visits and comments!

Now it is your turn to play along with us! Remember this is a Cricut challenge and the theme image must be cut with the Cricut. Please mention in your blogpost which cartridge you used. 

Just a reminder - You have a week left to enter our elephant challenge if you have not done so!

We look forward to see what you create!
