My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 178 Thinking of You

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins another fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. This week, our design team sister Sue asked us to create a Thinking of You card. We all need this type of card quite often--can be sympathy, get well, thank you, etc. Thinking of you phrase must be on the card! 

My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is white card stock. Patterned papers are DCWV Fresh Floral Stack and solid papers are from scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Spring Fling - Thinking Of You sentiment is cut 3.75" wide. Flower pitcher is cut 1.75" high. Tulips are cut 1.75" high. I really enjoy using this cartridge. It includes the pen work on the designs which adds more detail to the images. I used the Cricut Midnight Pen.

Ribbons and Rosettes - Scallop  border is cut 2.70" wide x .25" high. Added the border for the pitcher to sit on.

Using Cricut Insert Shapes, the white rectangle mat is cut 2.50" wide x 6.25" high. Purple rectangle mat is cut 2.75" wide x 6.25" high.

Phrases - Rectangle frame label is cut 4.25" wide x 2.68" high. This is used inside the card. Using Anna's Lace Cards and Embellishments - Just a Note sentiment is written on the white frame label using the Cricut Midnight pen. 

Inside of card.

I added small purple rhinestone embellishments for extra bit of detail.

Bunny Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After making a little Cricut time, I have an Easter card to share today. Card is cut from white card stock using a Cricut card image and measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". Solid papers are from the scrap stash. Patterned papers used inside the card are DCWV Fresh Floral Stack. I think the papers do well for Spring and Easter colors!

Easter Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

The past week has been really busy. With all the recent heavy rains and flooding in our area, I have moved my parents in my house with me. Water should not go into their house, but the road became impassable last Saturday. Water had been rising 6 inches daily, but the last couple of days only 4 inches each day. Predictions are for the nearby river to crest on Thursday. Even with that date, it will probably still be several weeks before they can return home. Many acres of farmland are under water and lot of that land had already been planted with corn crops. Several families have moved out from the low-lying areas. My Cricut playing has been limited, but I hope to be playing more in the upcoming days.

I wanted to make a small Easter box for candy and to use as decoration. Since I have not bought any Easter candy, I am using peppermint in it now. Papers are from the pastel scrap stash. I decorated each side of the box using Cricut images. Eight cartridges were used!

Cricut Cartridges:

Cindy Loo - Basket is cut 11.50" wide.

Classroom April- May - Happy Easter is cut 2.75" wide. A piece of acetate is glued to the sentiment to hold in the box.

Create A Critter - Rabbit is cut 2.25" high.

Easter 2010 - Chick is cut 2.25" high. 

Easter Magic - Blue, yellow, lavender egg is cut 2.25" high.
Plantin Schoolbook - Grass is cut 2.15" wide x .47" high

Teresa Collins - Bunnies and Chicks - bunnies and chicks border is cut 2.90" wide x .30" high

Teresa Collins - Easter Basket - Yellow and lavender egg is cut 1.78" wide x 2.75" high.

Pink twine from Diana at DL.ART is used for the four bows on each corner. Thank you Diana for my recent win!

Sharing pics of the different sides of the box.

 

I am pleased with the results of the little box! Hope you enjoy it!

Shamrock Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With all the pretty Make It Now projects available in Cricut Design Space, I find it hard to decide which one to try first. With St. Patrick's Day fast approaching this week and needing one more card,  I chose to use this pretty Shamrock Card. Card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and is cut from white card stock. Patterned papers are DCWV Fresh Floral Stack.

Cricut Cartridges:

Make It Now Shamrock Card-- I followed the instructions given for the cutting and some of the assembly. Two shamrocks are cut. Edges of the top shamrock are slightly curled inward and then it is placed on the second shamrock using foam squares. The button is added with DMC embroidery thread and then I made a small bow. I made a goof with one of the shamrocks and cut two more. I added the extra one inside the card.

Family Album - Wanting to add a bit more interest to the top of card and make it my card, I added the small pendants and clover from the Lucky Scrapbook Page. After ungrouping the images, the pendants were cut at 1.50" wide x 1.33"high. Note: These images are not included with the Make It Now instructions.
Designer's Calendar - St. Patrick's Day is cut 3" wide. This is used inside the card!

I cut the plaid background paper at 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and the white background paper at 5 1/8" x 3 7/8". 

Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder is used on the white paper.

Lattice Box

Welcome to Glenda's Cards! 

I am sharing a little lattice box/basket that I am just now able to post. Past few days around here have been rather busy! I missed a couple of challenges that I was playing along with, but that happens sometimes!

Cricut Cartridges: 

Tags, Bags, Boxes & More2 - Lattice box is cut 11.50" wide x 5.48" high from white Colorbok card stock.

Spring Fling - Flower is cut 3" wide using pink and green papers. Sweet Spring is cut 2" wide from the same papers. I cut two of each image so each side of the box has an image. Cricut Midnight pen was used for the drawing.

 Side view of Box

The two crinkle ribbon bows are from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Thanks Karen for the pretty ribbons! I added some iridescent shreds to the inside of box and some peppermint candy. Looks like someone has been eating my candy!

I am using the little box for Spring now but with Easter also in the month of March, I can add Easter candy for a different treat. I will have a dual purpose box with this little project!
