Winter Frolic Trees

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today I am sharing a Christmas card that can be found in the Make It Now section in Cricut Design Space. However, I used the customize feature to change the size of the card. My finished card measures 4.25" x 5.50" where as the one shown in design space measures 3.5" x 5". Also I added a layer to the sentiment mat. Patterned tree paper is from The Paper Studio Winter Wonderland paper pack. I used a kraft cardstock for the base of the tree and other papers are from my scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:
Winter Frolic - Trees
The First Few Years - Classic tag label is cut 2.62" x 1.05"  to include the second layer of the label.
Anna's Christmas Cards & Embellishments - Merry Christmas is written on the label using the Cricut Midnight pen. For the inside of the card, the sentiment Sending Christmas Cheer is written on 3.75" wide x 2.4" high inserted rectangle shape.

Cuttlebug folder Winter Trees is used on the red mat. Love the additional trees on the card!

Liking the results of this one, I made four cards. A great card design for making those last minute Christmas cards!

Ornament Card

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I am working on Christmas cards! I really need to start earlier next year! This card is made using one of my recently purchased cartridges. I love Anna Griffin cartridges and thought it would be a perfect gift to myself!

Cricut Cartridges:
Anna's Lovely Layered Cards 2 - Ornament card is cut 10" wide x 7" high. The image has an envelope with it but I did not cut it...set size for the card. Two shades of red paper and two shades of green paper are used. I am not sure if you can actually see the two reds.
Anna's Christmas Cards & Embellishments- Sentiment "Greetings of the Season" is printed on the label frame from The First Few Years. Label is cut 4.77" wide x 4.77" high. I used a Pilot Precise V5 red pen to do the writing. This is used inside the card.

I enjoy the looks of this card and decided to make another card using some pattern papers from The Paper Studio Christmas Traditions Foil Pack.
  
 
Second Card
