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 cards with my ‘Life is Beautiful’ MDA stamp set!

  July 16, 2020

  ---

  You may have spied my stamp set in a previous post, but I haven't shared much yet!  You can be sure I will be posting quite a few projects with it.

  If you didn't know, it's a stamp set I helped create as a perk of achieving a Million Dollars in sales in my career with Stampin' Up!  It's so cool to have my name posted under the stamp set in the upcoming 2020 August – December Stampin' Up! catalog! 

  I shared three technique cards using the Life is Beautiful stamp set on FB live last week.   I did upload it to YouTube so everyone can watch. *see below 

  Save

  The top left card is created by stamping and heat embossing the leaves with White embossing powder.  Then coloring over with Blends alcohol markers.  Such a cool effect and actually fun to color too.  The dark card stock covers most mistakes if you go off the image a bit. 

  Save

  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Black and Mango Melody.  The pretty label tags are die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here. 

  I wanted to have a play with a rainbow style card using the distinktive dots in the set.  

  Save

  I used Gorgeous Grape, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay and Pacific Point here.  The greeting is from another MDA set called Ridiculously Awesome. 

  Next is a simple baby wipe technique.  

  Save

  I stamped the tree twice to create a wider trunk and more branches.  The colors here are Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede with Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock dots.

• Accordion Style Fun-Fold card with video

  July 15, 2020

  ---

  Here's another easy fun fold card that shows off all sides of your designer series paper.  And uses up thin strips too! 

  I made them during my weekly 'Stamp With Me' Facebook Live last week.  

  Save

  I chose to use the Brights 6 X 6" designer paper pack and the Many Mates stamp set.  

  Save

  Aren't they fun?  The back is flat and does not open.  You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like.  I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.

  You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces.  I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail.  I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too.  This stamp set is fun! 

  When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap. 

  Save
