Look at these Sweet Thoughts Memories & More card – Fast & Fabulous!

Do you ever want to craft & create but don't have enough time to get out multiple supplies and think up ideas?  Time should never stop you from creating!  

I made a few of these cards on last week's Live video and afterwards made more; all in just a few minutes! 

Save

I didn't need any inks or stamps; I used the greetings in the card pack.  So fast!  

I used the Sweet Thoughts card pack seen here; it's 40% off right now. And the cards & envelopes are also on sale. See them here. 

There are times you need to make quick, easy cards just to get your creative fix! 

Save

I did use a paper trimmer to cut some of the cards into pieces. For instance notice the colorful striped edges on a few of the cards.  Those are all from one M & More card; I cut it into 3 pieces.  

Who wouldn't love to give or receive these pretty cards?! 

Save

I used just half a package of these beautiful cards to make these 15 full cards.  These Memories & More cards in the pack are discounted right now in the Last Chance list. They're now $6 instead of $10.  See them here.

The photo of the cards above does not do them justice! Check out the stack on the above left.  The package includes 6 sheets of adhesive die-cuts that are fun to embellish with.

You can use these for cards OR scrapbooking.  I shared my Sweet Thoughts scrapbook pages on Friday's post; see it here. Click here to see my pre-cut scrapbook kit (or tutorial) in my Shop.

You can see the envelopes behind these cards.  They are included in the cards & envelopes pack seen here. They're larger than our standard cards – finished size is 6 1/4" X 4 1/4" and are also discounted to $8 instead of $10. 

Save

I did add Iridescent Pearls and a few ribbons to these cards. Not necessary but always fun to embellish! 

Save

I hope you don't let time stop you from crafting. Add a few of these Memories & More cards or a kit from our Kit Collection for those times you want to create easily without much 'work'.

• Hey Chuck Fancy Fold cards! Part 3

  August 7, 2023

  ---

  And today I'm sharing the last 2 projects featuring Hey Chuck.  Annette is one of my talented Flowerbug's and she chose this bundle for her Artist of the Month projects.

  This first project features the Masterfully Made designer paper seen here and it's also a fun fold…

  Save

  I love how she added a torn edge greeting; it fits perfectly with this designer paper that has a torn look to many sheets. 

  So here's a clue to her fun fold design: 

  Save

  Do you recognize this fold? It's called a Pop & Twist fun fold card.  It's not easy to learn; but super cool to give out!  I do not have a video on this fold but you can do a search on YouTube and find many video tutorials.  

  Here's the open view: 

  Save

  Isn't it cool? She added some soft blended background colors on each layer which makes a huge difference to the finished look.  Isn't that designer paper perfect with this bundle?  

  If you like a challenge you should enjoy making one of these.  I've made a few and honestly I don't plan to make any more!  Ha! 

  Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

  Look at this hilarious rooster!  And the perfect greeting for him…..

  Next is a fun fold card featuring the Earthen Elegance designer paper.  

  Save

  
  She got this fun fold idea from Lisa Curcio.  It has 4 pieces of Misty Moonlight card stock measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8". They're adhered together back to back like this: 

  Save

  
  

  There are 8 pieces of designer paper on each card stock side; measuring 2" X 5 3/8".  The pop-up designer paper on the front and back has a window cut out of it to reveal the rooster image inside; using the same die-cut.  She used the Tailored Tags dies.  This DSP measures 4 1/2" wide X 5". Score 1/2" from each side on the 4 1/2" edge. 

  Here's the back side:  

  Save

  
  

  There's a folded strip of card stock under the White tag that pops it up when opened. I may share one of these cards on an upcoming video soon; it's quite intriguing!  
  

  I hope you enjoyed seeing all of her projects; she did an incredible job! If you want to see details on each one, click here for part 1 and here for part 2.

• Amazing WOW projects with Hey Chuck; Part 2

  August 4, 2023

  ---

  Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  For July Annette chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here.  I know you'll be amazed at her fabulous projects I'll be sharing. 

  First up today is a stunning framed sampler.  

  Save

  Just look at her incredible scenes!  I think the bit of blue behind each image sets them off incredibly. 

  Sampler details:

  • She used Azure Afternoon ink and blending brushes to add a bit of blue behind her die-cut rooster scenes. 
  • The designer paper behind it all is the Masterfully Made designer series paper seen here. 
  • She colored the images with Blends markers and popped them up on the squares. 
  • Her 4 white squares measure 2 5/8", colored squares are 2 3/4" and the black are 2 7/8" squares 
  • The black frame is 9" in size; the glass opening is 7 1/2"

  Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

  Look at this hilarious rooster!  And the perfect greeting for him…..

  She used the Dots & Spots die for her background and that strip of the Masterfully Made DSP is a perfect addition to this card and her color choices. The white on white theme makes the image pop! 

  The dimension she achieved by popping up the rooster and the greeting with Dimensionals makes such a difference to this card.  

  Details:

  • Dots & Spots white layers are 5" X 3 3/4", Pumpkin Pie layer is 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
  • Stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies
  • DSP strip is 4" X 1"

  ~~~

  Next is a fun fold card featuring the Glorious Gingham designer paper.  

  Save

  
  

  She got the idea from Karen Titus.  The DSP is 6" square and you score and cut it to fold in on itself.  Here's what it looks like when it's closed up:

  I'll be sharing how to make one of these cards very soon!

  More to come tomorrow!
