Happy Valentines!
While watching the Olympics Sunday, I made a few more Memories and More kits. Are you watching the Olympics? There is so much to watch! My favorites are hockey and curling.

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 have fun making these Paper Pumpkin cards from the February Lots of Pun kit. Most of these below are alternative ideas for the kit. I added Early Espresso for several of the cards but all other elements came in the kit.
The sentiment is stamped on a small piece cut from one of the envelopes.
I'm back today to share a few more Valentines cards using last year's January Paper Pumpkin kit. Yes, it's last year's kit but I don't always finish all the cards in the kit. I keep the pieces and parts in a plastic zipper pocket and then filed away so I can just find what I want in each packet. This kit is called Sending Hearts.
Some of you may still be waiting for your January 2022 Kisses & Hugs Paper Pumpkin kits to arrive. The pandemic has not been kind to us in more ways than one. Delays in products and supplies is a world-wide issue right now. The January kits were one of these delayed products. And Stampin’ Up!® thanks you for your patience if you were in that group that needed to wait a bit longer. In fact my own kits were late in coming but I think it was post office and not SU's problem. But it finally reached me last week and I have been having fun making a few Valentines. I don't send out many Valentines so having them in my Paper Pumpkin really works for me.
This picture shows the Valentine card closed with the left side on the front. The "friend" heart is adhered on one side and lined up with the bottom heart. |

I finally received my Paper Pumpkin for December! It's a really cute kit called Lots of Pun. I'm having fun coming up with alternate cards from the kit.
Here are a couple I have made.
We had a good weekend during MLK ... just not what we had planned! Ashley came down to visit on Friday. We took Mom out for lunch on Saturday which she loved. We were planning on having our family Christmas on Sunday but Mother Nature had other ideas. We woke up Sunday morning to a white yard and snowed all day on Sunday. So, no family Christmas this year! Ashley planned to go back home early on Monday but she couldn't get her car out of our cul-de-sac because of the snow/ice until about 5 pm. And here it is several days later & we still have a yard full of snow and the weatherman is calling for more snow and freezing rain tonight. We'll see!
Hope you had an enjoyable weekend. I spent a lot of time in my craft room trying to put things where they belong instead of all piled up on the table and floor! We watched a lot of football - especially the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon. It was a great game and went into overtime. But we came out the winner which makes us in the play-offs. I doubt we'll go very far but at least that gives us another week to watch our team and say good-bye to our quarterback. The first time we saw Ben Roethlisberger was the weekend my son got married. We found a bar in Tuscon where we could watch the game the day after the wedding. That was 18 years ago which blows my mind!
While cleaning up today I ran across a project kit from Stampin' Up that I have probably had 5 or 6 years. So I made a few cards using things in the Birthday Kit. Here are a few of the cards I made today.
January! How time flies when you're having fun!! Maybe I can be more diligent this month with the holidays over ... well, almost! We are having our family Christmas next weekend. We were all spread apart during Christmas and New Year. My husband and I drove to Maryland to spend the holidays & her birthday for a couple of weeks. My sister and her family spent most of the time at her son's home along with my other sister and my mom on Christmas day. So we are all getting together next Sunday to enjoy our family time.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! |
