New Arrival

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a quick card made for a baby shower. It's a Girl! 
The card is cut from white cardstock using Cricut Wild Card. The card image is on page 76 and cut at 6". Designer papers are from the Paper Studio Sweet Pea pack.
The phrase "new arrival" is cut at 7".
I added a crinkle ribbon bow and a little doodling with a Gelly Roll pen.  
Simple card, but I hope the mom to be enjoys it!

Thanks for stopping by!

BBTB2 - Witch

Welcome to Glenda's Cards

It is time for another inspirational Cricut challenge at BBTB2! Our talented design team sister Susan wants us to use a witch. This can be any witch from any Cricut cartridge to create a Halloween project. I chose to do a small wreath for my Red Hat friend. The little witch heard about the party and dressed up for the occasion! The wreath is a 9" Willow Wreath that was purchased for one dollar.
Cricut cartridge is Wrap It Up! The witch image is on page 69 and is cut at 10" using Recollection papers.
Using a 2 1/2" wired ribbon that actually is a Christmas ribbon bought last year, I wrapped the willow wreath and made the bow. To add a bit more detail to the witch and broom, I added Silver Stickles which goes with the silver glittered edge of the ribbon. The witch is attached by using pop-dots. 
Simple project but a cute decoration for the party!

My second project uses the witch image but this time it is the box cut. I cut the box at 5". Of course, again I used the red and purple theme. Purple tissue and red/purple curly ribbon accent the little bag. I added a piece of a Cricut packaging behind the witch cut out. Using purple paper in the bag, I just added a piece of white tissue behind the plastic. A cute little treat bag for my Red Hat friends!

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 97

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It is time for another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts! In observance of Mother-in-Law Day (Oct. 28), our design team sister Sue asked us to create a card using Fall colors and 3 embellishments.
My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" from white cardstock. Patterned K&Company and the solid papers are scrap papers from previous projects. Always nice to get another project!

Cricut Cartridge:
Cindy Loo - Page 68 Font - Thinking of you is cut 1.5".
Cheery Lynn - French Pastry Doily and Doily Angel Wing
For my embellishments I used a handmade rosette left over from a previous project, a leaf button with the shank cut off and placed on a pop-dot, and the flower button in the rosette.
Simple card, but I like the results!
