Sentimentals Lock and Key

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We have been having a very rainy weekend in my area. I was able to play with the Cricut and one of the older Cricut cartridges. When I saw the challenge at Papercraft Star to use Locks and/or Keys, I thought it was time to bring Sentimentals out of hiding. Papers are from the 12" x 12" double-sided K&Company Ancestry Com paper pad. Love this paper!

Cricut Sentimentals:

Page 36 - Using the card feature, the card is cut at 5". The key shape opening is cut out of the front of the card. I backed the opening with a coordinating paper. An envelope image is also available on the same page. However I cut my card a bit too large for the envelope to be cut on a 12"x12" paper. Cut and learn! Next time, I will determine the card size first!
Using the Phrase feature, Key to my Heart is cut 1.37".

Page 35 - The lock is cut at 3". 

Other supplies include lace and heart shaped pearls from my stash. The lock is pop-dotted on the card. Inking is Versa Magic Gingerbread.

Challenge:

Papercraft Star - Ch. 114 Locks and Key

Hope you enjoy this card using one of the favorite older cartridges!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 95 It's Picking Time!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Are you ready for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Our challenge this week is "It's Picking Time". Our design team sister Charlotte asked us to include an apple or a pumpkin on our project.

Cricut Cartridge: Working in Cricut Craft Room

Freshly Picked - Looking through this neglected cartridge, I found this cute pumpkin featured on page 68. You will notice the card has a bit of shape rather than a rectangle. Using the Layers2/Shadow key and cut size 5.25", I welded two of the shapes to make the card base. The patterned designer papers are cut at 5" using the main and main/shadow keys. The pumpkin and leaf are cut 5" using the layers key. Sorry I did not record the size of the green background mat.

I thought the pumpkin sign was just too cute not to use. It is cut at 2.75".

Page 49 -  for sale is cut 1.50".

Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots - Leaf,  Divine Swirls - Pumpkin.

Other Supplies:

Brads and raffia bow are from my stash. Pop-dots used on the pumpkin and for sale sign.

Patterned papers are K&Company Tim Coffey Halloween & Fall. Solid papers DCWV.

I had fun playing with this Cricut cartridge. It also has a seeds packet and a frame cut on the pumpkin page. For a project that I made last year using the apple frame from this same cartridge, please click here.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 94 My Family

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is Saturday and time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 94 is My Family. Our design team sister Peachy asked us to create a family themed project or a card for a family member. I will be needing several birthday cards for family members so this is a good start!

Card is 5" x 6 1/2". The textured background paper is DCWV and other papers are from the Bo Bunny Little Miss collection.

Cricut Cartridge: Using Cricut Craft Room

Straight from the Nest - Page 35 Birdcage is cut 3.12". Corner feature is cut 1.12" on flip. I like the pair of birds in the corner cut. Thanks to my friend for the use of this cartridge.

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Peony for the green patterned mat.

Other supplies:

Bo Bunny Little Miss collection for the trinket on the birdcage. There is a Cricut cut bird on the birdcage but I chose to use the trinket on top of it.

Zva Ceative self-adhesive pearl from a friend. Lace is from another friend. Hmm--maybe I should call this my friendship card! Thanks to my friends!

Prima Flowers. Ribbon for the bow is from my stash.

If you look closely in the left corner, you can read on the paper Never regret - Live your dream. That is a good sentiment for my card!
