Get Well Wishes

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Needing a couple of Get Well cards, I have been playing with my Cricut and some pretty Anna Griffin images. I made two cards using the same focal image on each card but with a little mix of the colors and sentiment tags. Each card measures 5" x 6 1/2".

Cricut Cartridges:

Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Butterfly and Flower background is cut 4.75" using shades of purple.

Splendid Soirees -  Mandrin Tag is cut 3" wide. Using Anna's Lace Cards and the Cricut Midnight pen, the sentiment is written on the tag.
Elegant Embellishments - Sentiment tag for the following card. Anna's Lace Cards sentiment Thinking of You is also written with the Cricut Midnight pen.

2nd Card.

For the inside sentiments, I used Anna's Garden Cards and Embellishments - Warmest Wishes- on each card.

 Inside of white card.

Inside of purple card.

Sentiment tags are pop-dotted on each card. The pretty lavender crinkle ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces! Thanks Karen for the recent win!  I added a few rhinestones on the top card.

I like the way the cards turned out, but I can not choose a favorite! Which one do you like?

Happy Easter

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Easter! Hope you are having a blessed day! Let us rejoice! Thank you Jesus!

I am sharing one last Easter card. I have not had much free time for crafting, but I did want to try this image on a card. My card is white card stock and measures 5" x 6 1/2". Patterned paper and solid papers were in my scrap stash.

The Chocolate Easter Egg is a SVG freebie from Miss Kate Cuttables. 

I cut the image on my Cricut Explore at 3.75" high. I have only used SVG files a couple of times and this image cut really well. I used similar colors as shown on the display image. Thanks 

Miss Kate Cuttables for the free image. I like the way it turned out.

Cricut Cartridge Designer's Calendar is used for the word Easter. It is cut 1.25" high.

The pretty sketch at Paper Play Sketches is the foundation of my card. I changed the position for the sentiment but with sketches, it is fun to have your own play on the sketch!

Pretty yellow twine from Diana at DL.ART is the perfect finish for my card. Thanks Diana for my recent win!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 178 Thinking of You

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. This week, our design team sister Sue asked us to create a Thinking of You card. We all need this type of card quite often--can be sympathy, get well, thank you, etc. Thinking of you phrase must be on the card! 

My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is white card stock. Patterned papers are DCWV Fresh Floral Stack and solid papers are from scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Spring Fling - Thinking Of You sentiment is cut 3.75" wide. Flower pitcher is cut 1.75" high. Tulips are cut 1.75" high. I really enjoy using this cartridge. It includes the pen work on the designs which adds more detail to the images. I used the Cricut Midnight Pen.

Ribbons and Rosettes - Scallop  border is cut 2.70" wide x .25" high. Added the border for the pitcher to sit on.

Using Cricut Insert Shapes, the white rectangle mat is cut 2.50" wide x 6.25" high. Purple rectangle mat is cut 2.75" wide x 6.25" high.

Phrases - Rectangle frame label is cut 4.25" wide x 2.68" high. This is used inside the card. Using Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Just a Note sentiment is written on the white frame label using the Cricut Midnight pen. 

Inside of card.

I added small purple rhinestone embellishments for extra bit of detail.

Bunny Card

Easter Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

The past week has been really busy. With all the recent heavy rains and flooding in our area, I have moved my parents in my house with me. Water should not go into their house, but the road became impassable last Saturday. Water had been rising 6 inches daily, but the last couple of days only 4 inches each day. Predictions are for the nearby river to crest on Thursday. Even with that date, it will probably still be several weeks before they can return home. Many acres of farmland are under water and lot of that land had already been planted with corn crops. Several families have moved out from the low-lying areas. My Cricut playing has been limited, but I hope to be playing more in the upcoming days.

I wanted to make a small Easter box for candy and to use as decoration. Since I have not bought any Easter candy, I am using peppermint in it now. Papers are from the pastel scrap stash. I decorated each side of the box using Cricut images. Eight cartridges were used!

Cricut Cartridges:

Cindy Loo - Basket is cut 11.50" wide.

Classroom April- May - Happy Easter is cut 2.75" wide. A piece of acetate is glued to the sentiment to hold in the box.

Create A Critter - Rabbit is cut 2.25" high.

Easter 2010 - Chick is cut 2.25" high. 

Easter Magic - Blue, yellow, lavender egg is cut 2.25" high.
Plantin Schoolbook - Grass is cut 2.15" wide x .47" high

Teresa Collins - Bunnies and Chicks - bunnies and chicks border is cut 2.90" wide x .30" high

Teresa Collins - Easter Basket - Yellow and lavender egg is cut 1.78" wide x 2.75" high.

Pink twine from Diana at DL.ART is used for the four bows on each corner. Thank you Diana for my recent win!

Sharing pics of the different sides of the box.

 

I am pleased with the results of the little box! Hope you enjoy it!
