My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 94 My Family

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is Saturday and time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 94 is My Family. Our design team sister Peachy asked us to create a family themed project or a card for a family member. I will be needing several birthday cards for family members so this is a good start!

Card is 5" x 6 1/2". The textured background paper is DCWV and other papers are from the Bo Bunny Little Miss collection.

Cricut Cartridge: Using Cricut Craft Room

Straight from the Nest - Page 35 Birdcage is cut 3.12". Corner feature is cut 1.12" on flip. I like the pair of birds in the corner cut. Thanks to my friend for the use of this cartridge.

Spellbinders Nestabilities - Peony for the green patterned mat.

Other supplies:

Bo Bunny Little Miss collection for the trinket on the birdcage. There is a Cricut cut bird on the birdcage but I chose to use the trinket on top of it.

Zva Ceative self-adhesive pearl from a friend. Lace is from another friend. Hmm--maybe I should call this my friendship card! Thanks to my friends!

Prima Flowers. Ribbon for the bow is from my stash.

If you look closely in the left corner, you can read on the paper Never regret - Live your dream. That is a good sentiment for my card!

Now head on over to My Sheri Crafts and see the great projects by the design team and guest designer. For more information on the projects, visit the individual blogs and don't forget to leave a little love!

Pretty in Pink

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

Today I am sharing a card using one of the digital images that I recently won at Papercraft Star Challenge 104 Ice Cream. The gorgeous high quality printed images are from The House Across the Bay and I had so much fun playing with the pretty shoes!

The card measures 5" x 7" cut from white Colorbok cardstock. The pink polka dot paper is a scrap piece from K&Company Sweet Nectar Specialty Paper Pad. 

Cuttlebug: The white paper is embossed with one of the Cuttlebug Love's in the Air embossing set. I found these on clearance at Hobby Lobby. Yay for those clearance sales!

Cricut Cartridge is Mother's Day Bouquet. Flower is cut at 1.5" and 1.75".

Other supplies include Recollection heart gemstones to accent the hearts in the embossing. The pretty white lace is a gift from my design team sister Charlotte which I used to frame the digital image. White bow is 3 Girl Jam crinkled ribbon. Pop-dots are used under the digital image to add dimension.

I thought of framing this project but did not have a suitable frame available--but I will shop for one!

Napkin Fold Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

I have been wanting to make a Napkin Fold card using reds and purples! Of course, it is for a Red Hat Lady! When I saw the current challenge at Just Rite Inspiration is to use more than one fold on a card, I got busy!

The card begins with a 12" x 12" piece of red Recollections paper. Purple paper is Bazzill and the purple check is Recollections. The paper inside the card is DCWV Posies Glitter print. Choosing where to use the different papers took awhile, but I am pleased with the results!

I followed the tutorial at Splitcoaststampers. The paper is scored at 3" and 9", then turn the paper. Score again at 3" and 9". Now the fun begins with all the folding! Check out the tutorial and video for the complete instructions.

Inside of the card! 

Spellbinders Nestabilities:

Eyelet Circles - Sentiment circles on the band. Blossom for the small floral mat on the band.

Label 10 - Sentiment mats on the inside of the card. 

Just Rite Spellbinders - Corners

Just Rite Stamps: Old Friends Set on the band. Nested Sentiments on the inside. I am still learning to work with stamps!

Martha Stewart: Flower Shower Punch Around the Page set. Also the fern greenery...I do not know that name.

Cricut Cartridge: Lacy Labels. The rolled rose is on Heart3 which is the 4th image from the right on the last row. The rose is cut using the layer feature and cut at 12". I know that sounds really large but you see the finished size. This is my first time trying a rolled rose-- need more practice, but I am liking these flowers

Recollections gemstones, pop-dots on the band, white ribbon from stash. Color Box lilac and Versa Magic Gingerbread inking.

Challenges:

Just Rite - Ch. 080 More Than One Fold

Hope you enjoy this Napkin Fold card and are inspired to try one too! This is a bulky card so it needs a box or may be hand delivered.
