We Love You A Bunch


Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I enjoy working with Anna Griffin's cartridges. My biggest decision is choosing the image I want to use next. I have so many cartridges and all the images are pretty. I have not cut this card yet so it was time to do it! This card measures approximately 5" x 7" and is cut using white Colorbok paper for the card and Recollections papers for the other colors.

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2  - Butterfly Banner Card is cut 9.865" wide x 6.903" high. The size is for only the card. I eliminated the envelope.
We Love You A bunch is printed on the front of the card using the Cricut Midnight pen.
Anna's Sophisticated Soiree - Star label is cut 4.50" wide x 3.19" high from lavender paper and 4.25" wide x 3.01" high from the pink paper.
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards - Happy Mother's Day is printed on the pink star label with the Midnight pen. This is used inside the card.

I think the card is perfect for Mother's Day! Hope you enjoy!
