BBTB2 - Witch

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

It is time for another inspirational Cricut challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Susan wants us to use a witch. This can be any witch from any Cricut cartridge to create a Halloween project. I chose to do a small wreath for my Red Hat friend. The little witch heard about the party and dressed up for the occasion! The wreath is a 9" Willow Wreath that was purchased for one dollar.
Cricut cartridge is Wrap It Up! The witch image is on page 69 and is cut at 10" using Recollection papers.
Using a 2 1/2" wired ribbon that actually is a Christmas ribbon bought last year, I wrapped the willow wreath and made the bow. To add a bit more detail to the witch and broom, I added Silver Stickles which goes with the silver glittered edge of the ribbon. The witch is attached by using pop-dots. 
Simple project but a cute decoration for the party!

My second project uses the witch image but this time it is the box cut. I cut the box at 5". Of course, again I used the red and purple theme. Purple tissue and red/purple curly ribbon accent the little bag. I added a piece of a Cricut packaging behind the witch cut out. Using purple paper in the bag, I just added a piece of white tissue behind the plastic. A cute little treat bag for my Red Hat friends!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 97

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! In observance of Mother-in-Law Day (Oct. 28), our design team sister Sue asked us to create a card using Fall colors and 3 embellishments.
My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" from white cardstock. Patterned K&Company and the solid papers are scrap papers from previous projects. Always nice to get another project!

Cricut Cartridge:
Cindy Loo - Page 68 Font - Thinking of you is cut 1.5".
Cheery Lynn - French Pastry Doily and Doily Angel Wing
For my embellishments I used a handmade rosette left over from a previous project, a leaf button with the shank cut off and placed on a pop-dot, and the flower button in the rosette.
Simple card, but I like the results!

BBTB2 - Happy Fall - Use a Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun and inspirational Cricut challenge at BBTB2! I am happy to be hosting today. Hope you are enjoying Fall! I love this time of the year- the cooler weather and the pretty colors of the season. Pumpkins, gorgeous mums, and scarecrows have been selling fast! With that in mind, I chose Happy Fall/Pumpkin for our challenge this week. We want to see pumpkins, but No Halloween pumpkin. You can use any Cricut cartridge but remember the pumpkin must be a Cricut cut. We also ask that you tell us in your post which Cricut cartridge you used. Have fun! We look forward to seeing your pumpkins!
Cricut Cartridges:
Damask Decor - Page 68 - I used the pumpkin card feature for my card. The card base is cut at 5" from brick red cardstock.Using layer 1and 2,  the pumpkin is cut from green and the reddish orange papers and glued to the card base. Stripe paper on the inside is from K&Company TC Halloween and Fall paper pad. I also added a small piece of the same paper at the top corners of the card under the pumpkin.
Simply Scarecrow - This scarecrow is the third image on the first row and is cut at 3.5". Fall is cut at 1.5".
Cuttlebug: Polka Dots on the pumpkin and Divine Swirls on the green stem.
