My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 100 - It's A Wrap


Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun and inspiring challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 100 is It's A Wrap--all about decorating packages, bags, or tags for Christmas! Several months ago, I purchased Cricut Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More 2 cartridge. This was the perfect time for me to try out one of the images that inspired me to buy the cartridge. I thought the tea cup would be a wonderful gift/container for friends!
The tea cup and saucer are on page 29.  I cut it at the recommended size of 9"  from a piece of K&Company Yuletide double sided Christmas paper.
Using Cricut Elegant Edges, I cut the snowflake image on page 47 at 2.87" and used it as a doily on the saucer.
Other supplies include Making Memories paper poinsettias that I have had for several years. Inking is Versa Magic Gingerbread.

 More tea cups!

Cricut Elegant Edges - Page 23 - Scallop 1 was used for the doilies on these two tea cups! Papers are from the same K&Company paper pack. I am loving the finished look! Just need to make more!!

A Quilted Christmas - Borders

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing again with Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge. I am loving this cartridge. There are many pretty images and fun features available. Today I am sharing two cards made using the card feature and borders.
The top card is using the poinsettia Border 4 found on page 72. The lower card is using the gifts/packages Border 8 found on page 76. Both cards are cut at 5.5" from red Recollection paper. The liner is cut from a gold shimmer paper from Holiday Time.
I used Cricut Celebrate with Flourish to cut the sentiment Merry Christmas. It is cut at 1.75" from red and 2 different shades of green papers. The shadow is cut from the gold paper.
Simple cards and I like the finished look of the borders!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 99 Tis the Season

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another inspirational challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 99 is "Tis the Season" - create a card/project which represents what you celebrate during this time of the year. My card celebrates the Holy birth of Jesus, the greatest gift of all, and what it means to us.

Using Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge, I chose to use one of the card features-this cuts the silhouette out of the card. I like the manger scene. The image is Joseph on page 51. The card is cut 5.5" from Recollections red cardstock. The images cut out very well at this size with the finished card measuring  5.5" x 4 5/16". Using the card feature on shift will cut the liner for the card.
I added the star from Cricut Christmas/Noel. It is cut at 1.5". 
The star and card liner are cut using a gold shimmer paper from a pack of Holiday Time Designer Paper. My photo does not capture the shimmer of the paper very well.

Visit My Sheri Crafts to see the inspiration by the design team and our guest designer. For more details on the projects, please visit the individual blogs. We love your visits and comments on our blogs!
Now it is your turn to play along with us! We look forward to seeing your cards/projects! Remember several Ooh la la awards will be given!
