Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I finished another Mother's Day card. Above photo shows the inside of the card with the floral popup.Finished card is 5" x 7".  Papers include Colorbok white, Recollections for solid colors, and K&Company patterned paper.

I have wanted to use this pretty Mother's Day Bouquet Pop Up Card SVG file from Dreaming Tree. I purchased the bundle and this is the first project from the bundle that I have made. There is an excellent video showing the making of the card.

Front of Card

The SVG file includes a Happy Mother's Day phrase for the front of the card. I chose to use the phrase from the Darling Dress Greeting Card file.

Crinkle Ribbon Bow with the tiny flower is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces. Gemstones are from my stash. Pink inking used on some images.

I like the results of the card! Hope you enjoy!

Happy Mother's Day

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

With Mother's Day fast approaching, I wanted to make a card for my daughter. Card measures 7" wide x 5" high. Cricut Red and green cardstock, Recollections Shimmer Cardstock, and Recollections black cardstock are used on the project.

I have Cricut Access but I noticed there are many free Happy Mother's Day images available this week in Cricut Design Space. If you need a last minute card, check out those free images!

Cricut Cartridges:

Using Shapes, I changed the square into a 7" wide x 10" high rectangle and attached the score line to make the card. Also using Shapes, I cut the white rectangle mat 6.87" wide x 4.87" high.

Best Mom Ever Phrases - Happy Mother's Day phrase is cut 6.62" wide x 4.62" high. 

 

I used the left over negative piece of the papers as a template to position the red, green, and black cut out pieces in approximate position. This worked out good for me with out all the guess work of it lining up correctly.

I like how the card turned out! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!

Red/ Purple Red Hat Lady

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am back with a pretty card for a Red Hat Lady! When the card first became available at Dreaming Tree, my thoughts turned to Red Hat Lady! I finally found time to play with this wonderful design.

Papers are Recollections, The Paper Company, and Colorbok. Of course in Red Hat Society fashion, colors are red and purple.

The Dreaming Tree - High Heel Greeting Card measures 5" high x 3.5" wide. A big Thank You to Leo and team for this awesome freebie design.  I will be making this design again. I am sure when the Red Hat Ladies see the card, each lady in our group will want one!

Cricut Cartridge:

Font is Chloe for the words Happy Birthday.  I was unable to get the provided font in the svg file to work correctly....probably something that I did wrong.

I added extra flower cuts to be able to use red and purple for the flowers. Purple rhinestones applied to flowers on card.

I love the results of the card! Hope you enjoy! Thanks for your visits and comments!
