This or That Thursday - Memories and More - Bright and Beautiful

 Thursday already!! Time really is flying by now! Today's card are once again very simple but also very simple. My first card is the balloon that I fussy cut from one of the M&M cards. Using the bone folder, I softened the papers so that the edges curled under to make it look very like a balloon, I added the bow using the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack. There are 3 reels of ribbon in the gorgeous blue of Azure Afternoon, a beautiful soft pink of Bubble Bath and a very fresh lemon yellow of Lemon Lolly. A simple sentiment and it's completed.

My second card is again very similar but this time I have chopped a strip of the card base off and added it to the inside of the card. I then took another scrap of DSP and added it to a white piece of card  and placed it in the centre. I do LOVE to use lots of my scraps up!   

Which of the 2 cards do you prefer? Please let us know.

Watercolour Wednesday - Memories and More - Bright and Beautiful

 Hello again and thank you for stopping by. I haven't actually made a watercolour card today because the card bases actually look like they have been watercoloured. With the Bright and Beautiful Memories and More cards and the cards and envelope pack today, I have been able to make some more very simple cards. The first is the blue stripe. I took a piece from the coordinating 6" by 6" Designer Series Papers and chopped it into 1cm strips. I used a White card base on this one and added the strips all the way over the front and using the bits that I chopped off, I trimmed the edges of a white square with them before adding one of the sentiment strips from the card pack. As you can see in the centre stripe, I have added another strip from another piece over the top of the blue.

My second card is an extremely simple one. Using one of the washed pink cards, I have added several of the die cut elements from the pack. The sentiment was another of the small cards from the pack that I fussy cut out, added it to a scrap of the DSP again and repeated the scalloped edge. Very simple but I really like it. What do you think?

Below is a picture of the cards pack and the self adhesive die cut cards are on the left in the picture.

Technique Tuesday - Memories and More - Bright and Beautiful

 Today's cards there is a little more to do to make these and I used my favourite method of fussy cutting for all 3 cards. Using one of the Memories and More card pack and one of the card bases, I fussy cut a balloon out of the centre of one of the C7 cards. I used the balloon on another card. I placed a piece of card from one of the other cards to give some more interest behind it and placed some of the peel off, die-cut labels from the card pack. There are 4 die cut sheets in a pack.

The second card was made using a standard card base in Azure Afternoon and a piece of the DSP from the Bright and Beautiful DSP. I used one of the C7 card and cut off the 4 corners. I then cut out the Happy Birthday from another card and fussy cut it before adding it to the small card.

My third card is one of my favourites. There are 2 of the large cards which have balloons all across the front. I fussy cut all of the balloons out, added dimensionals to the reverse and added it to the soft pink card base.

Make It Simple Monday - Memories and More cards

 This week I will be sort of carrying on from where Cary left off. Cary's last project on Friday was using the Memories and More cards and my intention this week is to show you how you can make lots and lots of cards using less than half a pack of them! They aare called the Bright and Beautiful Memories and More Card pack and Bright and Beautiful Memories and More cards and envelopes. They are stunning. I did use the same stamp set as Cary too called Beautiful Balloons for the odd sentiment. The cards plus the cards and envelopes are so inexpensive. Together they are only £18.25 altogether. An absolute bargain! As it's #simplestamping Monday, here are my simple cards. 

I made both of these using a large M & M card and one of the smaller C7 cards.

 

 

Make It SImple Monday - #simplestamping - Santa's Delivery

 Well it's only around the corner now so I hope you are all getting ready for Christmas too? This week I will be showing you some cards that I have been making using the Santa's Delivery stamp set and occasionally, the Santa's Delivery Memories and More cards here and there. Today's one of course is a very quick and simple card. I literally stamped the Christmas tree all around the edges of the card mat and added a few Candy Canes in too. Something aimed at a beginner crafter or one that the children can replicate too. I was going to add some more on the front but remembered that it is a simple stamping card.

I have added a card made with the Memories and More cards. This centre card is only C7 or 3" by 4" to start with and on their own make a lovely card in itself. This one, all I did was cut around the border of the card and mounted it using dimensionals. It was that simple!

   

Here is the Memories and More version

Fun Fold Friday - What A Year!

Well, what can I say? What A Year Memories and More cards are amazing! I have had a real blast this week making cards with them. Today's card has been has been really fun to make too. This whole week I have been using the cards to make greetings cards instead of journalling or scrap booking with them. They are so very versatile. The cards that I've made, I am very pleased with and if I want to, I can still do some scrap booking with the many cards that are left over. 

The pack contains 52 different cards and 4 sheets with peel off stickers on too. There are 26 each in 2 different sizes of which the small ones are 7.6cm x 10.2cm or 3" x 4" and the larger ones are 10.2cm x 15.2cm or 4" x 6". They are all double sided too so you get to choose from 104 different images plus the peel off stickers too. There are 46 images and 26 different 'weeks of the year' ones too. I have included picture of these at the end. Stampin' Up! also do the journalling pockets in the smaller size of 6" by 8" they call them Photo Pocket Pages

Today's card is and easel card. Once again I have used 2 more of the cards and cut into 2 others for the sentiments and one of the peel off sentiments too.  This card was made with a Polished Pink C6 card base 21cm by 14.85cm and scored at 10.5cm and 5.25 on one side and then was folded in half to form the 'hinge'. I cut another C6 mat 10.5cm x 14.85cm this is to become the 'board' on the easel. I added adhesive to one of the long edges on the board and onto the 2nd fold nearest to the edge on the main card. You can see how they go together best in picture 3 below. By adding adhesive on opposite edges of the 2 different pieces, they attach together very easily. Then I had the fun of decorating the card. As I mentioned before, I cut the 2 large sentiments from 2 other cards and mounted them onto some more of the Polished Pink card scraps. They were both added to the card using foam pads(dimensionals). I completed the card with some more of the gorgeous Artistry Blooms Sequins. 

I do hope that you find something to celebrate and enjoy the moment.
