Guitar Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

 

Hope this Monday is going well for you! I found some time to play in my craft room with the Cricut! This card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and is white cardstock. I am using some scrap papers from previous projects. When I saw the challenge at BBTB2 this week, I had to make a card that would work for the Elvis's Birthday challenge. I also know someone who was born on the same day! The song that I chose is Guitar Man! Still love his music!

Cricut Cartridges:

Nifty Fifties - Guitar is cut 2.21" wide x 3" high. This is my first time to cut this image. I do like the way it turned out. I added white dashes with a Gelly Roll pen to add a little more interest. A second guitar is cut 3.75" high - this is used inside the card.

Birthday Bash - Star is cut 1.56" wide x 1.50" high.  First time to use this image.

Cake Basics - Happy Birthday is cut 4" wide x 1.48" high. This sentiment is used inside the card. The cartridge is available in Cricut Access and is my time time to use an image from the cartridge.

Cuttlebug:

Christmas Poinsettia

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

It has definitely been Winter in my area for the past couple of days! Our high temperature was 73 degrees a few days ago but the cold front came barreling through with sleet/freezing rain. Our temperature plunged. It has struggled to get to 32 degrees today. I really do not like cold weather and it is suppose to be about 17 tonight. So what do I do!  I stay in my craft room and play with my Cricut machine! Do you realize how soon Christmas will be here again!! I am trying to get a head start on my Christmas cards this year!

This card measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and is white card stock. Papers are left over from previous projects.

Cricut Cartridge:
Celebrate with Flourish - Poinsettia is cut 2.75" wide x 1.96" high.

Cuttlebug Script Folder is used on the red mat. I added gold gemstones on the poinsettias.

A simple card, but I think it is a good start on my Christmas cards! Be sure to check the following Christmas Card challenges listed below for weekly inspiration!

My card measures 5" x 6 1/2" and is cut from cream card stock. Patterned papers are from K&Company Classic K Bailey paper pad that I have had for several years. The embossed tan paper is from Craft Smith Embossed Naturals paper pad.

Cuttlebug - Anna Griffin Flower Grid Embossing folder is used on the blue strip of paper. I bought the Cricut Mystery Box recently and was so happy to find all the beautiful Anna Griffin folders and dies inside the box. This is my first card using one of the folders!
