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'.

• Amazing Side-step Vertical Easel card with Waves of the Ocean suite

  March 23, 2022

  ---

  We made this remarkable fun fold card at my March card clubs. It features the Waves of the Ocean suite seen here. 

  Save

  Dies featured here:

  • The Dandy Wishes dies in  the Garden Wishes bundle is 20% off right now. You can see that here.  I just love the die-cuts and greetings in it.  *I wonder if this will be on the retiring list tomorrow….. 
  • The 'Thanks' and 'Amazing' dies are from the Amazing Thanks dies in the 2022 Jan-June catalog.  You can see them here.  I love the double layering you get with them!!  

  This card is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" when finished and lays flat for mailing but stands up beautifully for display.  

  Save

  You can see how this is assembled in the video below.  I also list the measurements below too. 

  The card includes two white panels; one for the middle and one for the back.  We stamped the wave from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set using Pacific Point ink on the middle layer.  We added some Bermuda Bay ink on the wave using a Blending Brush.  We also added a soft bit of Pacific Point for the sky.  

  Save

  Some left the back empty so they could add a greeting later; depending on what they needed at the time. 

  As you can see below the gorgeous Waves of the Ocean designer paper includes a variety of 'paint poured' designs & colors.  I wanted it to be the main feature of the card and this fun fold made it happen!  This designer paper is available through May 1st or while supplies last.  This pretty paper, the foil and Waves rhinestones will not be in the new Annual catalog.

  I used the Dandy Wishes dies for the 'flower heads'.  For the right card below I trimmed off a few of the side pieces to create a smaller flower head.

• Easter Friends; simply adorable! Video tutorial included.

  March 22, 2022

  ---

  I chose the Easter Friends stamp set for one of our Club cards in March.  It truly has adorable images!  See it here.

  I shared a few other projects during a recent Facebook Live. Click here to see it.  

  Look at this sweet bunny image!  

  Save

  I stamped him/her in Smoky Slate and added a tiny bit of blush on his cheeks.  I added a light line of Pool Party blends marker around the edge. The designer papers on this card include the Heart & Home and Hand Penned DSP's.  These will likely be on the retiring list which comes out on Wednesday, March 23rd. 

  Save

  They could choose between the bunny or the duck. The duck is colored in with Blends markers; So Saffron & Pale Papaya. All greetings are from the Easter Friends stamp set; stamped in Basic Gray.  

  Save

   

  Other details: 

  • Stitched Rectangles for the White & Pale Papaya stamped pieces
  • Flower & Leaves punch for the large flower
  • Bough punch for the little bitty tulips
  • Brass Butterflies scattered around the duck or bunny; see them here
  • I made a 'faux bow' by folding sheer Pool Party ribbon back and forth, adhering the folds with mini glue dots.  No bulk!

• Sentimental Swirls; a super fun stamp set with a Video for multiple card ideas!

  March 21, 2022

  ---

  I played with the Sentimental Swirls stamp set on last Tuesday's FB Live video.  Honestly I didn't want to stop!  This set is so friendly and easy to create with.  

  Save

  Here I stamped the swirls and leaves first using Black Memento ink. I added the solid leaf image using Granny Apple Green.  Then added texture with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. 

  The flowers were stamped on scraps of White paper and colored in with Blends markers. I curled them a bit and added with mini dimensionals.  The bird is fussy cut and added with Dimensionals. 

  The card on the left below features the dot coloring technique.  I used the bullet tip of my Blends markers to color the flowers.  Fun technique!  Watch the video below to see it in action.

  This set coordinates beautifully with the Flowers & Leaves punch in the Annual Catalog.  Below you see both cards along with the coordinating stamp set & punch. 

  Save

  I love that this stamp set includes outline & solid images to match.  

  Save

  For the next card I again stamped the lovely swirl in Black Memento ink onto a scalloped rectangle from the Scalloped Contours dies.  I added a few sets of leaves here and there among the swirls.  The flowers were stamped on a separate scrap of White and punched out.  

  Save

  I sure love the greetings in this set!  Versatile and such cute font.  

  Save

  
  I also shared this cute card too.  I stamped a scattered background on a piece of White CS before texturing it with the same Tasteful Textile embossing folder.  It is my 'go to' choice for a simple texture.  

  Save

  The color here is Polished Pink with bits of Pale Papaya, Granny Apple Green & Coastal Cabana. The White tag is 2" X 3 1/4"  & the smaller Polished Pink is 1 3/4" wide.
