Memories and More

 When you need a pretty card but don’t have much time to put one together, the Memories & More Card Packs are  a great resource. These cards below that I made this weekend are made with the Flowers for Every Season Memories & More Card Pack which are retired...BUT there are a couple of other Memories & More packs in the Annual Catalog (page 127) and a new pack in the Mini Catalog (pg. 59).  

If you want an easy afternoon of crafting where you end up with a stack of pretty cards, then Memories & More Card Packs are a great product for this. Just grab some matching embellishments and cardstock, and then be amazed at how many cards you can make in a couple of hours.

The Memories & More Card Packs are designed for pocket scrapbooking and work  well for that purpose with two different size double-sided cards to match with your memories. In the Flowers for Every Season pack there are 50 cards - some designed to add journaling to capture the stories associated with your photos. The pack includes stickers as well for decorating the cards or using them throughout your photo album. If you are like me and it can take years to put an album together, this is a great tool to speed up the process!

The additional bonus is that the Memories & More Card Packs are great for making quick and easy cards that look lovely. You can spend as much, or as little time as you want embellishing the cards and adding sentiments to make them perfect for you.

There is not much stamping on the cards below but I have added some ribbon and enamel dots. The only other product needed to make this card is some adhesive and card stock. Super quick to make.

I stamped the sentiment and added Just Jade & Cinnamon Cider cardstock to this card.

I added ribbon, Misty Moonlight and Bumblebeed card stock for this one.

I cut strips of two of the cards in the pack and mounted them on Magenta cardstock which was then adhered to the Bumblebee card.  I added the ribbon and stamped the sentiment.

I cut one of the cards from the pack in three equal pieces and mounted them onto black cardstock which was then adhered everything to the Bumblebee card stock.  I used the Tailored Tag Punch and adhered the sentiment (which was a sticker in the kit.)

I added ribbon for the Just Jade card.  The flowers in the right corner is a sticker.  I stamped the birthday cake and used the Stitched Circle to die cut it.

I hope you enjoyed these cards and will take a look at some of the Memories and More kits in the catalog.  I got this kit in the Clearance at a deal.  So, you might want to look at Clearance items from time to time
