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

Color Theory Memories & More

I want to bring your attention to a product in the catalog that you might have skipped over if you are not a scrapbooker but just a card maker.  It is the Memories and More suite on pages 190 - 193.  I have the Color Theory Card Pack (pg 193) and love all the things I can do with it.  The artist-designed, coordinating Memories and More card packs, with their included stickers and printed acetate sheets, make it easy to create more great projects with fewer supplies and less time.

Here are a few cards using some of the Color Theory Card Pack.


For this card, I stamped the seat of the chair with Versamark (stamp set - Colorful Seasons) onto some of the card patterns and embossed them with Clear Powder before cutting each one out.  They were adhered to the wooden chair that I stamped directly onto the Old Olive Color Theory DSP (pg 187).  The sentiment was also stamped with Early Espresso ink directly on the DSP.  I used my Blender Pen and a little Sahara Sand ink to make shadows under each chair.  This was so easy to make!


This card is one we made at Stampin' Up On Stage.  The flower was cut from one of the Memory Cards.  I stamped the flowers and sentiment onto the Old Olive card with Old Olive ink and onto the Island Indigo card with Island Indigo ink.  Another easy card to make.  The ribbon is the 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon.  


This card is one that my downline, Debbie, made for one of the Quarterly swaps.  Some of the leaves are already stamped onto the card and she added a few more that she die cut with the Seasonal Layers thinlits


Here is my Color Theory Pack.  It includes 72 total double-sided cards (52 3"x4" cards, 20 4"x6" cards, cardstock sticker sheets, printed acetate cards - 1 4"x6" and 3 each 3"x4").

Here are some other ideas for these cards:


Memories and More - New Product Line

The 3"x4" cards make quick and stylish note cards.  Write a note on one side and put it on someone's desk or in a lunchbox!

Memories and More - New Product Line

Stamp a greeting on a 3"x 4" card.  Layer the stamped card and a patterned card on a pre-cut, scored note card.  Write a note and place it into a coordinating envelope to mail or hand deliver.

Memories and More - New Product Line

Cut a card base in a coordinating color.  Cut a 4"x6" card to 4"x5 1/4".  Layer a printed acetate card onto a 3"x4" patterned card.  Add ribbons or embellishments for a finished project!

Memories and More - New Product Line

Create an album by adding coordinating patterned cards, journaling cards, and photos in pocket pages.  The catalog will give you inspiring examples of ideas using these Memories and More cards (pg 190-193).
