Rainy Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

What do you do on a rainy afternoon? After seeing the news about the Curve Text feature in Cricut Design Space, I played with my Cricut! This is a wonderful feature that a lot of people have been requesting! Thanks Cricut!! I think the little Umbrella bug is the cutest little fellow!

Creative Holiday Cards - Rectangle card is cut 8.50" x 5.50" from blue Recollections cardstock.

Using the Cricut Font Dear John and the Curve Text feature, the words were manipulated as I wanted them and then attached to the white mat. Words are written with the Cricut Midnight pen.
