Great cards made with the Celebration Expression Memories & More pack

April 3, 2026

I hadn’t touched the Celebration Expression Memories & More cards yet; so I found an hour or so to create these:

Aren’t they fun? These printed Memories & More cards come in both 4″ X 6″ and 3″ X 4″ cards. They are discounted and retiring! See them here. I did use the ‘Memories & More cards and envelopes’ as the card bases which made it super simple. These cards are a nice size – 4 1/4″ X 6 1/4″ which is larger than our traditional size. They are now in the last chance list and retiring soon!

You’re likely wondering where the greetings came from. And I didn’t stamp a thing! Each of the greetings came from the Saying Something Ephemera pack. These are fabulous! They’re also discounted, in low inventory right now and will likely retire soon. See them here.

I’ll share these cards in sets of 4 next:

I did add a few layers of card stock on these cards to bring some solid backgrounds to the greetings. I also added some rhinestone gems & ribbons – Balmy Blue gingham, Timid Tiger 1/4″ and Bubble Bath 1/8″ ribbons.

It was so much fun to simply play with the cards, layering them or adding CS strips here & there. What a perfect way to create without a lot of product. This would be perfect to take to a crop or crafty play day with friends.

Two more ideas with the Border Basics dies

April 21, 2023

Continuing on to share team swaps featuring fancy borders here is a unique card made by Paula. I would never have thought of this!

Save

She used the Abigail Rose Designer Paper for her card front and the Basic Border dies for her lower edge. The retiring Harvest dies seen here(discounted to $15.20 from $38) are the flowers on the front. She cut the front flap with the dies as well as the back card base! So cool!

The front flap is 2 5/8" wide. Her card stock is Crumb Cake. Love the brass butterflies inside!

Next is a pretty card made by Mary using the Sending Smiles bundle. The stamp set & dies are carrying over into the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off.

She used the same exact die as Paula did above; the Basic Border dies are wonderful!

Save

Her colors include Fresh Freesia, Navy, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. She also used the pretty Brass Butterflies on her card front.

The Designer Paper is the Hues of Happiness DSP from the Annual Catalog but it's sold out now.

2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!

April 20, 2023

Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average! Wow! They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up. So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.

~~~

This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style. I LOVE swapping with them!

Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.

Save

Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies.

She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer. She colored the image in with Blends markers.

~~~

Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.

Save

She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List. See it here.

Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog. It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off.
