Fantastic Flip Cards 2

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have been playing with my Cricut again and one of my newer cartridges! Today I am sharing my second card from this wonderful cartridge! Card measures 5" x 7". Paper is Prima Tales of You & Me. I did not need any paper, but whenever I saw this pretty double-sided 12 x 12 pad and it was on sale, I had to buy it!! Did I say It was on Sale!! Guess I do not really need an excuse!

Cricut Cartridges: 
Anna Griffin Fantastic Flip Cards - The card is cut 11.06" wide x 7" high. This size does not include the envelope. Roses are Print and Cut. The cut size is 2.50" wide 3.35" high. The rose is pop-dotted on the card.
Happy Birthday is printed with the Cricut Midnight pen on a 2.272" wide x 3.487" high rectangle shape. Make a Wish is printed on a 2.25" wide x 3" high rectangle shape.
Anna's Soiree Lettering  - Butterfly is cut 1.941" wide x .921" high and is pop-dotted on the card. Flourish is cut 1.481" wide x .82" high.

Trying to get good photos of this card style is about as hard as trying to choose papers and images! I will share a few different angles of the card.

First Heart Flip Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Sunday! Hope your holiday weekend is going great!

I enjoy working with Anna Griffin Cricut cartridges! I missed the first HSN chance on purchasing the Anna Griffin Fantastic Flip Cards cartridge but recently was able to purchase through Cricut. This is a digital cartridge with 10 pretty flip style cards. Anna's print and cut floral images and wonderful sentiments are gorgeous! The Cricut makes it so easy! Now choosing images and papers can be quite the task!

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna Griffin Fantastic Flip Cards  - Heart flip card is cut 11.44" wide x 7.014" high. This is the card size without the included envelope image.
Double flower is cut 3" wide x 2.614" high. I cut two of these sizes with one image on flip to be stacked. Pop-dots are placed in between the two images.
Single flower is cut 2.25" wide for the larger one on the lower right.Top flower is cut 1.95" wide x 1.741" high.
Smaller flower is cut 1.25" wide x 1.248" high. This flower is used inside the card.
Corner is cut 1.049" wide x 1.375" high.
Sentiment Hope Your Day Is Special is written with the Cricut Midnight pen on an inserted 2.417" wide x 3.528" high rectangle shape.
Sentiment To Say Hello is printed on the Pink heart.
