Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Sarah is hosting this challenge and she chose "Let's Go 3D". Make anything that is 3D--nothing Flat this time. For my project, I made a teacup and saucer using my Cricut Explore and beautiful K&Company papers.

Cricut Cartridges:
Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More2 - Teacup is cut 10" wide x 10.39" high. Finished size of the cup rim is 3 1/4".
