My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 155 Happy Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Our design team sister Sandy chose the theme for Challenge 155 Happy Mother's Day - Something Girly. Now if I were making this card for myself, it would be pink and frilly! I am the only one in my family that really likes pink....so I chose another color scheme for my Mom.  Papers are from Prima The Second Wind. I think my mother will love this card!

Cricut Cartridges:

Elegant Embellishments - Card is cut 7.87"w 5.50"h. I like the cut out edges on the top layer of the card.

Mother's Day Phrases - Happy Mother's Day is cut 3.50"w 2.65"h. The flowers are also part of the cut.

Now it is your time to play along with us. For more inspiration, please visit My Sheri Crafts to see the pretty projects by the design team and our guest designer. Visit the individual blogs for more details. Remember several Ooh La La awards will be given and one person will be chosen to be our next guest designer.

Rainy Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

We have been having several rainy days and more on the way. I decided to play along with a rainy day theme. The card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. I was inspired by the sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches. I began the layers with the yellow solid cardstock and I continued with solid colors. This is not my usual style of papers--you know I love patterned papers--but I chose the solids this time. All the papers are from my scrap stack. My younger grandsons enjoy being outside on rainy days but they do not bother with any rain gear!!

Cricut Cartridges:

Everyday Paper Dolls - Boy wearing rain gear and the umbrella are layered together and is cut 3"h.

Disney Pooh and Friends -  Cloud and raindrops cut 3"w.  The cloud is used for the rain puddle. I failed to record the name of the cartridge for the gray cloud.

Cricut Font and Basic Shapes - Rainy Day is cut 1.74" w, 1.18" h.

Paisley - Heart button is cut 1" w. I added a bow with Sew Easy Fancy floss.

Challenges:

BBTB2 - April Showers

Simple Create Too - Ch. 83 No Digis or Stamped Images

The Sisterhood of Crafters - April Showers

Tuesday Morning Sketches -  Sketch 296

 

Hope you enjoy this card! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Another Spring Fling Flower Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Hope everyone's week is going good! After a long day of yard work yesterday, I decided it was time for a little play with paper and glue! The card is cut from a purple Recollection cardstock at 5.5" x 4.25". My pretty patterned papers are K&Company Watercolor 12"x12" paper pad.

 

Cricut cartridge:

Spring Fling - Iris is cut 3"h. Thinking of you is cut 3"w. The Cricut midnight pen was used for the drawing. I like this cartridge and the way the ink drawing adds to the image.

Winter Woodland - Tag used for the mat is cut 2.98"w x 3.60"h.

 

I frayed the edges of some papers and added a corner accent with three purple rhinestones.

 

Challenges:

BBTB2 - Spring flower 

Tuesday Morning Sketches - This is my play with Sketch 295.

 

 

Hope you enjoy this card! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Spring Fling Flower

Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with the Cricut Explore today and checking out some of the free images available in Cricut Design Space for a limited time. My card is cut 6"x 6" from white Colorbok cardstock. Patterned papers are Momenta. The white card is overlayed with one of the pretty 6" x 6" papers from the Momenta paper pack. I trimmed each side 1/8" so the white card is exposed. Then I just added my images to the patterned paper.

Cricut Cartridge:
Spring Fling: Rose is cut 3"h. and the drawing on the flower is done with the wine Cricut pen. The rose is pop-dotted on the blue mat. I do not have a green Cricut pen so I used the gold metallic pen on the leaves. I think the gold blends in well!
Sentiment Smell the Roses is cut 3"w. and the drawing is also done with the wine pen.
Cricut Craftroom Basics - Scallop Circle mat is cut 4.28"w x 4.2" from the blue patterned paper.

I was happy to try some cuts from this cartridge. Love how the pens work with the images. This may be a cartridge that I will later purchase.

Challenges:
BBTB2 - Cricut Flower

I like the way this card turned out. I can use it for Mother's Day or birthday card.
