Fall/Thanksgiving Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

As Thanksgiving is fast approaching, I have been working on a Fall/Autumn/Thanks/Thanksgiving card. I like to make cards that can be used for several occasions. My card is made using one of Mary's pretty sketches at CARDZ TV. These sketches are so fun to work with and I can use scrap papers from previous projects. I have so much paper and I have tried not to purchase any new until I used more of what papers I have on hand. Do you know how hard that is--not to buy paper!!

The base of card is cut from Kraft Cardsdtock. Card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" when folded. Patterned papers are K&Company. Solid cream paper is from Recollections

Cricut Cartridges:

Thanksgiving - Pumpkin is cut 3.25" wide x 1.27" high. Leaves cut 2" wide x .68" high.

Botanicals - Wheat is cut 1" wide x 1.31" high.

My Sheri Crafts - Thanksgiving

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today starts a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Design team sister Sandy chose Ch. 194 Thanksgiving. She asks that we include any of the following on our card/project - Pilgrim, Indian, Cornucopia, Pumpkin, Turkey, or Pie. For my project, I made a Pull Out Card. You can find the tutorial at Mary's CARDZ TV. Base of card is a cream Recollections paper. Patterned and solid papers are left over from previous projects. This card style is fun to make and I like the finished look..also a good way to use lots of Cricut images! I was able to add 4 of the choices for the challenge on this card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Autumn Celebrations - Turkey is cut 1.75" wide.

Classroom- Oct-Nov. - Pilgrim is cut 2" wide. I believe this is my first time to cut a Cricut Pilgrim image.

I have been playing with a little Christmas paper! Guess it is time to make a few Christmas cards! Where has this year gone!

The folded card measures 5 1/2"x 4 1/4" and is cut from red Recollections cardstock. Kraft Colorbok paper is used for the solid background mat. The pretty patterned two-sided papers are from K&Company Glad Tidings paper pad. These are left over from previous projects.

Fall Pumpkin

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Pumpkin/Fall card. It can be used for several different occasions. The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is cut from Recollection cardstock. White cardstock is Colorbox. The pretty patterned papers are from My Mind's Eye Simply Beautiful paper pad. I love these papers but they are very thin and difficult to cut. I had to cut the images several times to get a good cut, but with a new Cricut blade and a larger size image, the Explore worked good.

The Fall pumpkin image is Miss Kate's Cuttables SVG file that was free recently. I love this pumpkin with the layers! Using my Cricut Explore, I cut the image at 4" high. I tried at 3.50" high several times but the leaves were torn during the cut.

I am playing with Sketch 19 at Paper Play Sketches.  Be sure to visit Janis's blog for a new weekly sketch each Wednesday. The sketches are always pretty and such fun to play with.

For extra touches, I  added brads that have been in my supplies for years. The pretty brown crinkle ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Thank you Karen for the pretty ribbons!

Boo!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After a little play time with my Cricut,  I made this cute Halloween card for a friend. The card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Papers are scraps from left over projects. I am using Mary's Sketch 5 at CARDZ TV. 

Cricut Cartridges:

Celebrate with Flourish  -  Pumpkin is cut 3.50" wide.

Phrases - Boo is cut 1.96" wide x 1" high. The image includes flourishes but I did not cut those.

Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Halloween is used inside the card. It is written with the Midnight pen. Using the insert shapes feature, I unlocked the square and changed it into a 5" wide x 2.50" high rectangle.
