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. 

Save

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'.

• 3 unique techniques on these pretty swap cards

  July 13, 2023

  ---

  I'll be sharing our July Flowerbug Team swaps this week and next.  Our theme was to create our own backgrounds.  They came up with some amazing ideas.  I absolutely LOVE seeing their creativity and style.  

  First is a monochromatic card by Annette. I bet you'll never guess how she did this special background…..

  Save

  She used Orchid Oasis and Boho Blue ink spots and dragged the ink across her white card stock. One color in each direction.  I was shocked at how pretty and evenly colored it is. I think it looks like denim. It's the perfect way to highlight the pretty die-cut. I'm going to try this myself soon! 

  Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on a die-cut from this bundle.  

  She used the Wonderful Thoughts bundle seen here.

  Next is a pretty card that Monica made with the Color & Contour stamp set & Scalloped Contour dies. 

  Save

  She created a blended and masked background using Orchid Oasis and Daffodil Delight.  She added a bit of Pool Party on the flower and the card base too.  I love these colors together! 

  ~~~

  And lastly today is a unique technique by Lori. I'm not sure I've done this one! Can you guess how she did it….?  

  Save

  She first scored her White card stock about 1" apart, on the diagonal. Then she folded the card stock on each score line and sponged Balmy Blue ink on each fold.  I know I've never done this one; at least in my memory I haven't.  So cool and very precise too!  

  She used the Circle Sayings bundle for her greeting & punch. The bird is water-colored with our watercolor pencils. 

  She used the new Bird's Eye View stamp set seen here.  She also stamped her envelope.  

  Save

  Stop back in for more Team swaps tomorrow!
