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'.

• 2 more fun fold card ideas for you; from the Flowerbugs!

  November 24, 2022

  ---

  Happy Thanksgiving!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday weekend and spend it with friends or maybe stamping!

  We'll be with our kids in Fargo and besides enjoying our turkey dinner we'll be playing games, going to an escape room and I'll be addressing some Christmas cards too.  

  ~~~

  Here are more of our Flowerbug's Team swaps featuring fancy folds.  

  Candy made this 'book binding' card with the Kindest Gnomes; see it here.  

  
  

  Save

  Measurements are: 

  • Cherry Cobbler card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 4 1/4" & 5 1/2"
  • DSP 1" X 4" on the 'binding', 1/2" X 4" strip across
  • Evergreen layer 4" square

  Save

   

  Roxann made this amazing Diamond Fold card.  She used the Splendid Day specialty designer paper from the 2022 Holiday Catalog; seen here. 

  Save

  Her colors include Petal Pink &Soft Sea Foam. It's finished size is 5" square so it does not fit into a standard A2 size envelope.  

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5" X 10".  Score at 2 1/2" & 5".  You'll find the upper center at 2 1/2" and make a mark.  From the top, cut down on both sides to the first score line, removing those upper corners. 
  • Then make a mark from the bottom up on each side at the 7 1/2" mark.  Cut from the bottom center; also at 2 1/2", and cut to the 7 1/2" mark, removing the bottom outer corners. 
  • Soft Sea Foam squares are 3 1/4"
  • Designer paper squares are 3"

  Maybe someday I'll create one of these and share how it's done. It's a neat card!  

  Save

  I sure have some talented Team Members, don't I?  They always impress me with their creativity, colors and ingenuity.

• Two more fun fold cards today; Penguins & Sun Prints

  November 23, 2022

  ---

  Today I have two more unique 'fun fold' cards for you.  Both made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. 

  First is an easy but quite unique fold made by Annette:

  Save

   

  • She used Night of Navy as her card base.  It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2". 
  • The Sun Prints DSP are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" on the out side areas and 2" X 5 1/4" on the center.  
  • I didn't show a photo of the back but she added a White layer in the center area for signing.  It's also 2" X 5 1/4" 

  It stands up nicely too.  Here's what it looks like closed for mailing. 

  Save

  The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here. 

  ~~~

  Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch. 

  Save

  Can you see how the sides and front greeting are floating in front of the center panel?  It's a neat fold that you'll never see in a pre-made card! 

  She used window sheets across the bottom to hold the greeting layers.  

  Save

  The designer paper is from the Tea Boutique 6 X 6" paper in the Annual Catalog.  I love that snow hill curve! 

  Save

  Measurements:

  • White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
  • Then make cuts at 1 1/4" from both sides on the front and cut to the center score line.  That separates the sides from the front panel. 
  • DSP is 2 3/4" X 2" on the center and 1" X 4" on the sides.  

  Save

  Here's a link to the Penguin Place stamp set and here's the Penguin Builder punch.
