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'.

• Another sample using DSP strips; the pretty Velvet Meadow DSP

  July 16, 2026

  ---

  I shared a card using a strips technique a few days ago and wanted to share the card that inspired it today.

  Save

  Here are the products I used: Velvet Meadow DSP, Bubble Bath, Berry Burst & Peaceful Pine CS. The greeting is from the Flowering Meadow stamp set and the scalloped tags are from the Scalloped Blooms dies seen here.

  When using up your strips you can adhere them diagonally across your card stock, leaving a small space between each. Once this CS is filled in, trim off the excess on the edges.

  Save

  The Velvet Meadow specialty paper has a fuzzy, flocked feel to the flowers and some leaves. It’s luxurious! Check it out here.
  I fussy cut the flower and leaves to add to the greeting.

• Quick card with the Violet Dreams DSP

  July 14, 2026

  ---

  Here’s the second card I made featuring the Violet Dreams suite. I shared it during last week’s video.

  Save

  It showcases the pretty Violet Dreams DSP seen here. There are 3 pieces from the DSP on this card: the violets die-cut, the striped frame and the green DSP strip. This DSP has 2 sheets of die-cut ephemera included in the package. I love that; it opens up so many options when creating.

  Save

  
  Besides the DSP I added the White layer behind the frame, the Hydrangea Hue ribbon and rhinestones. So quick!

  Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here.

  Save

  Look closely at the coordinating colors on this card. Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to create with perfectly matching colors. It’s my very favorite thing about SU.
  I used the violets as the starting point and simply repeated each color once or twice on my project for a wonderfully cohesive look.

  Tip: If you struggle with color coordination pick two colors and repeat them at least once if not twice on your project. This works!

  Check out the video below where I shared on more pretty card featuring DSP strips.

• How to use up those DSP strips! Video & free project sheet

  July 13, 2026

  ---

  I shared this pretty card on last week’s Live video. It’s a great way (and easy too) to use up those scraps of DSP you’re saving.

  Save

  Here I used the Violet Dreams DSP along with the Framed Violets bundle & Highland Heather ink.

  Save

  I started out with 1/2″ thick strips of DSP and adhered the first to a Peaceful Pine CS layer at an angle. Then simply continue to add more strips leaving a space between each. Trim off the excess on all edges and adhere to a larger Peaceful Pine CS layer.

  Adhere to your card base, add a greeting and die-cut accents and you’re done!

  I created a free project sheet with photo, measurements and directions. Click here to print it or download it.

  And below is the video tutorial for this card and one more using the Violet Dreams suite seen here.
