Feel Better Soon

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!
 
I have been playing along with the pretty sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches and this is what I came up with. The card base is from a package of purchased Recollections Ivory cards and envelopes that measures 5" x 6 1/2".  I used the 6 1/2" as the width of the card. The pretty patterned paper is from K&Company Susan Winget SW Harvest double-sided paper. 

Cricut Cartridges:
Using Insert Shapes in Design Space the square is sized to 6.25" wide x 4.75" high rectangle for the card mat layer.
Anna's Elegant Embellishments 2 - Tag is cut 4.50" wide x 3.065" high using Recollections yellow and purple papers.
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 - Sentiment "Feel Better Soon" is written on the yellow tag with the Cricut Midnight pen.
Flower Shoppe - 3D Flower #M3DAA8 Larger purple flower in the center is cut 1.50" wide and again at 1.25" wide. The two yellow and two smaller purple flowers are cut at 1.25" wide and again at 1.00" high. I sprayed each flower with a bit of water, crumpled the flower, and let dry before shaping and gluing together.

Cuttlebug Polka Dots folder is used on the patterned paper background for dimension.
Recollections pearls are added in center of each flower. Sentiment tag is pop-dotted on card.

The patterned paper pad has been in my stash for a long time. I like the results of the colors! 
Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Happy Birthday to You!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After doing yard work yesterday morning, I needed a break in the craft room. Playing around with pretty patterned paper from Craft Smith Tea Party, this is what happened! Recollection solid papers and Recollections Shimmer Cardstock White Gold papers were used on card. White card measures 6 1/2" x 5".

Cricut Cartridges:
Insert Shapes - Square sized to 6.25" wide x 4.75" high rectangle for the patterned paper used on base of card.
Elegant Edges - Square Lace Edge Frame sized to 2.5" wide x 3.111" high for the light and dark pink paper frame.
Small Talk Frames & Tags - Frame is cut 3" wide x 2.996" high from the white and aqua papers.
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2  - "Happy Birthday to You" is written with the Cricut Pink Crystal pen on the white paper of the frame.
Anna's Roses -  Rose is cut 1.539" wide x 1.805" high. This is a print and cut mage. I think the pretty rose works well with the patterned rose paper.

Martha Stewart Swirling Lace edge punch is used on 1.5" strip of pink patterned paper. I added a Michael's adhesive trim. Pretty sequins are a win from SpiegelMom Scraps.

I love the way this turned out! Hope you enjoy!

With Love

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a good crafting weekend! I found some playing time in the craft room to make this card. The premade white card measures 5" x 6 1/2". Patterned papers are scraps from some pretty K&Company paper pads. Solid pinks are Recollections and the solid greens are from Cricut.
Cuttlebug - With Love Embossing folder is used on the lower green strip of paper.
Cricut Cartridges:
J. Goode Design Flower Bouquet  - Tulip is cut 3.25" wide x 3.167" high. I used three shades of pink for the flower. Top section of larger flower is pop-dotted on the lower section. Leaves/stems are made with two shades of green.

Cricut Pens:
Wine fine point pen - pink papers; Sour Apple medium point 1.0 on green leaves and stems. 

I distressed edges of the mat paper with scissors and inked the edges. Top right corner is turned down and coordinating paper is added under it. I hand cut the flower from lace and pop-dotted it in corner. Pearls from my collections. Pink inking added to card base.

Simple, but I do like the results! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Get Well Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have enjoyed time in my craft room today and will share the card that I have just finished. Card measures 5" x 7" and I used pretty scrap papers from Anna Griffin. You may recognize the papers from previous projects. I noticed the current challenge at Tuesday Morning Sketches and thought this sketch would be fun to work with the small leftover papers!

Cuttlebug:
Feel Better Soon (set of four) embossing folders --- Get well soon is embossed on the light pink paper. Needing a Get well card, I was inspired by the challenge at Cuttlebug Mania. I have so many embossing folders and never used some. I like the small sentiment!
Anna Griffin Matelasse embossing folder is used on the darker pink strip.
Swiss Dots folder is used on the white mat.

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna's Window Ledge Card - Card is cut 10" wide x 7" high from white card stock.
Anna's Elegant Embellishments - Tag is cut 3" wide using the green and white papers.
Anna's Fantastic Flip Cards  - Roses cut 1.79" wide x 2.069" high. I cut 2 of the image. Butterfly cut 1" wide. Two images are cut with one cut on flip. These are print and cut images.
Using Insert Shapes - Square was changed to a 4.75" wide x 6.75" high rectangle to cut the floral background mat of the card.

White and green mats are pop-dotted on card. A white crinkle ribbon bow is added to the card. I used pink inking around the edges of paper.

I like the way the card turned out! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Card for a Red Hat Lady

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am sharing another card made for a Red Hat Lady! Card measures 5" x 7" when folded. The double-sided purple/lavender card stock used for the base of card is from The Paper Company. It has red and purple fibers throughout the sheet. I have had this paper a long time and thought it would be perfect for a Red Hat Lady. Other papers are Recollections.

Darling Dress Greeting Card SVG was purchased from Dreaming Tree. You can purchase the SVG here. I cut images at sizes that were brought into Cricut Design Space with the Cricut Maker. Leo has a great video showing the construction of the card! This is a beautiful design which can be made with many different color and paper combinations!

Cuttlebug Kassie's Brocade embossing folder was used on the red papers of the dress.

Small gemstones are added for the necklace. A button from my Red Hat Lady stash is used on the inside corner. I combined variegated purple and red crinkle ribbons to make the bow. 

Loving the looks of this one!
