Quick Notecard idea with the Banner Sayings bundle

January 20, 2026

I needed to send a few special cards to my Team members this weekend and so I created these cute notecards:

The large piece of designer paper is 4″ X 3″ and the bottom strip is 4″ X 1″. I added a 1/4″ strip of textured Coastal Cabana between them (I found it in my scraps).

I chose to make notecards because the package I was sending their prizes in was narrow and these fit perfectly.
Did you know we carry pre-scored notecards with envelopes? The package includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes for just $10. You can see them here.

I chose the Hobby Haven designer paper because of it’s colors and ‘hobby’ themed prints. See it here. It’s part of our Online product selection.

I decided to feature the Banner Sayings bundle for a few reasons. It’s quick with the coordinating punch and the greeting I chose fit my needs perfectly. Click here to see it. The new Triple Banner punch was out of stock for weeks! But now it’s back.

I added ink inside a die-cut mask with a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink before I textured it with the So Swirly embossing folder. I love the effect!

Beautiful but quick cards with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More card pack

May 15, 2024

I shared this card on last week's FB live video. It starts out with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More cards and a Basic White Memories & More card base.

Save

I scored the blue card and the front half of the card base in half. Then added a few short pieces of card stock behind the front layers so that layer pops up.

Save

The size of these pieces do not matter at all. Some people use one thicker piece on each side; I used two thin pieces. It allows the top layer to move independently from the front of the card. See how it's done in this video.

Save

You can see these Memories & More cards here. They come in a pack of 28 – half are 3 X 4" and the rest are 4" X 6". They fit our Basic White Memories & More card bases and envelopes perfectly. They're also a great way to create larger than our usual cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" finished size.

I made more beautiful cards with these products, adding a bit of twine to some along with a few printed greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack.

Save

You can see the Saying Something Ephemera pack here. It's FULL of tons of greetings you can just add to a card or scrapbook page. I was thrilled when I saw these in the catalog. They're a perfect solution for quick crafting.

Sometimes you want or need to be able to make quick cards; these items are a wonderful way to do that!
