Quick & Easy Cardmaking Monday #4 with Mixed Media Flowers Memories & More Cards

 

Hi Everyone,

It's another quick and easy cardmaking Monday. I am so inspired by the beautiful Mixed Media Florals Memory & More Cards. This will be coming in the January-April 2025 Mini catalog on January 7th. The Memory & More products have such beautiful and coordinating colored images as well as some adhesive die-cut pieces to make scrapbooking and cardmaking super easy.

When I created this first card for my Quick & Easy Cardmaking Monday video, I was so happy on how quickly it came together. I was so inspired that I decided to create several more and put out my blog, so you could see the other cards I created.

As you can see, the larger and smaller card designs work perfectly together. I love how striking the black accents are when paired with the florals. 

I love the adhesive die-cut words and embellishments. I used quite a bit on this card.

This next card used three of the Memory and More cards. I used one of the large cards which measures 4" x 6" and trimmed it to be a layer on the A2 sized card (5 1/4" x 4"). The other two cards are the smaller cards. The black "You're Amazing" sentiment is one of the die-cut words. There is so much detail in the main focal point card, the you don't need to do much to make it stunning.

This next card is one of my favorites! I love the Boho Blue color throughout the cards. I also love the smaller card with the beautiful stems outlined in black with those darn cute ladybugs crawling around. 

The last card today is one of the cleanest and prettiest. The large card is all that is needed for a great card. It is always an added wow, when you lift up an image or sentiment to get your card more depth. 

To do this for this card, I simply cut along the "grateful" banner and then added dimensionals. Then I added that slim floral adhesive strip right underneath to add more interest. Finally I put the banner right back in its spot. 

It was so fun creating with the Mixed Media Florals Memories and More Cards. You won't want to miss these when they become available on January 7th. There is a new suite of products called Mixed Media Florals that will be available as Online Exclusives. These products also coordinate with the cards I used today. In fact the florals on the cards make the Designer Series Paper and stamp set. You can see these products from my video that I recorded for Quck & Easy Cardmaking Monday. 

Thanks for stopping in today. I hope I've inspired you to get crafting. There are many promotions going on right now and the big Sale-A-Bration time is coming soon. Be sure to follow me, so you don't miss out on some great products and crafting ideas.

Quick and Easy Cardmaking Monday Episode 1 - 12 Holiday Cards in a Snap!

 

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping in today to see my holiday card creations. I wanted to start a series of sharing quick and easy cardmaking ideas. I wanted to create my Make a Card/Send a Cards (12) that I need quickly to mail out in just a couple of days. I had 12 leftover pieces from a past Stampin' Up! Tags Kit, so it was the perfect time to use them up. 

The cards I created had 2 or 3 duplicates of three of the image focal points you see. I think the colors are so pretty with all the metalic features.

For the cards, I cut 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" of the Regal Destressed Patterns Specialty paper for a hint of color and golden highlights. The Garden Greeen cardstock was cute 3 1/4" x 3 1/4". I also used a retired punch for the decorative corners. 

I think my favorite cards are the ones with the cardinal. I love birds and I think this one was designed and colored beautifully. 

I hope you enjoyed these quick and easy holiday cards. I hope you would agree that they are beautiful! My video gives more details on products used and upcoming specials.
