Merry Christmas Nativity

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Merry Christmas! Hope you are enjoying the day with family and friends!
Today I am making a late post for a Christmas card that I finished but have not shared yet. The card measures 5 1/2 " x 4 1/4" cut from a blue card stock paper. Patterned papers are from Recollections Starry Night. 

Cricut Cartridges:
Inspired Heart - Nativity is cut 3.01" wide x 2.75" high. The image is a perfect reminder of the reason for the season that we are celebrating.

I am playing with this week's sketch from Paper Play Sketches. I hand cut the dove from a piece of scrapbook paper to add to the card.

Winter Frolic Trees

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Christmas card that can be found in the Make It Now section in Cricut Design Space. However, I used the customize feature to change the size of the card. My finished card measures 4.25" x 5.50" where as the one shown in design space measures 3.5" x 5". Also I added a layer to the sentiment mat. Patterned tree paper is from The Paper Studio Winter Wonderland paper pack. I used a kraft cardstock for the base of the tree and other papers are from my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:
Winter Frolic - Trees
The First Few Years - Classic tag label is cut 2.62" x 1.05"  to include the second layer of the label.
Anna's Christmas Cards & Embellishments - Merry Christmas is written on the label using the Cricut Midnight pen. For the inside of the card, the sentiment Sending Christmas Cheer is written on 3.75" wide x 2.4" high inserted rectangle shape.

Cuttlebug folder Winter Trees is used on the red mat. Love the additional trees on the card!
