A Valentine- Victorian Romance

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing my first Valentine card for 2013. That day will soon be here! 

Inspired by the fun sketch at Die Cuttin Divas, I wanted to play along with their first challenge of the new year! The white cardstock card measures 5" x 6 1/2". Papers are scraps from K&Company Kelly Panacci Valentine paper pad. I love this paper! In fact, I found the same paper pad during another visit at Michael's last year and just had to buy it! Now I have another full pack!

Cricut Cartridge is Victorian Romance.

The heart with the couple silhouette is the 6th image on the first row and is cut from white cardstock. The blackout image is the 6th image on the second row and cut from a light pink paper. Both cuts are 3.5".

The small heart and heart layer are cut 1". These are the third images on row 3 and row 4. The words on the heart paper are from the poem How do I love thee.

Other supplies include lace and pearls from my stash. The lace is used for one of the elements of the sketch rather than paper. Inking is Dew Drop Versa Magic Gingerbread.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 101 All sports!

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Happy New Year! Welcome to our first challenge of 2013 at My Sheri Crafts! Challenge 101 is All Sports! We are asked to give some love to the athletes in our lives by creating a project with their favorite sports. My project is for my grandson and recognizes baseball in his school colors.

Cricut cartridge: All Sports.

Using the phrase feature on page 62 which is the circle, I cut 2 circles at 5" from the gold paper to make the shaped card. Another circle of gold was cut to layer on the card for added strength. Phrase feature on shift is cut at 5" from the blue paper. The word art is the phrase layer and is cut from the white paper. The batter image on page 32 is cut at 3" and pop-dotted on the card!

Page 22 - Phrase Layer - Home run is cut 1.75".

Cricut Christmas/Noel Poinsettia Card

  Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am back with another Christmas card! The paper is from K&Company Yuletide Die-Cut Cardmaking pad. This gorgeous double-sided paper pad was bought 2 or 3 years ago-one of those after Christmas clearance purchases. I finally convinced myself to cut it! The paper measures 5.5" x 9" and has the die cut shape on one end. Just fold it in half and you have the card! I do have some of the same papers in a 12" x 12" paper pad. 

Inspired by the card design on the front of the paper pad, I used the same pretty papers for my card. I cut the striped paper and layered it on the paisley and added the strip of green patterned paper at the top.

Outside view of the card.

Using Cricut Christmas/Noel cartridge for the images, the poinsettia is cut at 2.5". Pop dots are used to layer the flower and Gold Stickles are used in the center. The phrase Greetings and shadow are cut at 1". Lots of inking!

I am pleased with the way the card looks and may have to use more of this die cut paper.
Hope the card recipient enjoys this!

Cricut Christmas Cards

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing my first card made using the Cricut Christmas Cards cartridge. I decided to buy myself a little early gift! lol This is an older cartridge (I think 2010) and the actual cartridge was sold out so I purchased the digital copy of this cartridge. I prefer the actual cartridge, but I really like this scene! 

We seldom receive snow is my area and of course I do not have a horse and carriage. Sometimes though we visit a town that is decorated so pretty during the Christmas season and they do have a carriage ride! It is such a fun way to see all the pretty lights and decorations!

Using Cricut Craft Room, the image and layers are cut at 5".  I cut the words Joy and Peace which are also on this cartridge but did not record the size. I chose to use Joy! Card base is red Recollections paper.

Designer paper is Recollections Naughty or Nice Paper Pad. I used four of the patterned papers. It may not show very well in the photo, but the green dot and holly paper have glittered areas. Other solid papers are from the scrap stash. Cuttlebug Distressed Stripes was used on the tree.

Challenges:

Celebrate the Occasion - Ch. 93 Christmas - Anything Goes

Cricut Chirp - Christmas challenge

Die Cuttin' Divas - Ch. 95 More Holiday Spirit

Little Scrap Pieces - Holiday

Paper Playtime -  Ch 91 Winter Fun

A Quilted Christmas - Sleigh

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

I am sharing another card using Cricut A Quilted Christmas cartridge. Looks like Christmas will be here before I can use all the pretty images on this cartridge! The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is layered with a red stripe paper from K&Company Yuletide Paper Pack. Snowflake papers are from the same pack.

Cricut Cartridges:

A Quilted Christmas - Page 38 - Sleigh with presents is cut 3.5" using papers from the scrap stash.

Joys of the Seasons - P. 75 - Merry Christmas is cut 1.5".

Other supplies:

Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake edge punch is used on the green snowflake paper. Using the Martha Stewart Aspen Snowflake corner punch, I cut a corner to get the larger green snowflakes for the top corners of the card. We may not actually see green snowflakes falling, but I wanted to add a bit more interest to the beige paper with the green snowflakes.

Versa Magic Gingerbread inking. Martha Stewart red dot paper tape was bought last Christmas.

 

Challenges:

SOUS - Die Cut Challenge - Gifts - (starts Nov. 30)
