Following yesterday's FMS challenge post, I wanted to share some other cards I've made using the Sweet Thoughts Memories And More pack.
It's so easy to make quick and simple cards using the Memories and More packs, because only a few additional supplies such as a paper trimmer, scissors, adhesive, some sentiment stamps and ink are needed. You can add coordinating cardstock for layers and card bases, to extend the number of cards you can make.
HERE ARE SOME OF MY CARD PROJECTS:
Birthday Card:
This birthday card literally took me less than 15 minutes to put together, using the stickers in the kit and some standard sized basic whisper white card bases.
Note: I'm not a fan of the large sized envelopes and card bases (4 1/4" x 6 1/4") in the pack. They are simply too big. To remedy this I just cut the cardbases in half and then cut those half pieces down to 4" x 5 1/4" mats. The leftover scraps can be thrown away or used on the insides of the cards for decoration. I also cut the envelopes apart so I can use the beautiful designed paper as layers on my cards. The flap can be glued over the flap on a standard card envelope (Stampin' Up!).
Note: When cutting the card base in half, do not cut on the fold line, move the card stock so the card lines up at the 4" on either side of the fold line.
This is a single layer card without mats. I started with a standard Whisper White A2 card base measuring 8 1/2" x 5 12" and scored at 4 1/4". Next I adhered a 3" x 5 1/2 inch strip of the Calypso Coral card base in the center front of the card. The two daisy strips from the sticker collection were placed on either side of the front panel. The paint brush, sentiments and flowers are also from the sticker collection. I randomly placed some pearlized white sequins to finish the card.Thank You Cards:
The final card took probably 3 minutes to make. I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" mat from Lost Lagoon and layered it with one of the larger cards that I had cut down to 3 3/4" x 5". I added some of the pearlized sequins to give it some glam. Easy Peasy!
Well that's it for today's cards. I hope you'll drop me a comment and let me know if you've tried out any of the Memory and More card kits that Stampin' Up! features, and or any comments on my cards. I'd love to hear from you. Enjoy!
HAPPY STAMPING!
