Memory and More cards are great for pocket scrapbooking and quick and easy cards. I’ve paired a card with a couple of stamped florals and hey presto, my card is done. Here is another example below. Which do you prefer?

Memory and More cards come in two sizes, 4″ X 6″ and 4″ X 3″. I’ve used both in the card above. The bigger card is larger than a normal card base so I’ve altered that measurement.

measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – Card Base – 8 1/4″ X 6 1/4″ scored at 4 1/8″ on the longer side.

Easy Congratulations Card with No Stamping Required – Hand-Penned – Memory & More Cards – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up Demo – UK.

This card uses the gorgeous Hand-Penned suite of products. Specifically, I’ve used the designer series paper (DSP) & Memory and More Cards. The Memory & More cards are not just for pocket scrapbooking, they work great for cardmaking as well.

I’ve inked the edges of everything. This helps each layer pop from the other. The sentiment is a sticker but I’ve popped it up with dimensional to make it stand out against everything else.

  • Misty Moonlight Cardstock – A6 Cardbase. This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half
  • Hand – Penned DSP – 14.35cm x 10cm & 13.35cm X 9cm

Using a Sentiment to Make a Background

I just used one simple sentiment, repeatedly stamped to make this background. It’s quite effective. I stamped using versamark ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder. This gives a tone on tone effect but also some dimension to the background. The focal image is a journalling card from the Gingerbread & Peppermint Memory & More pack. Easy card to make and easy to repeat.

This project actually has no stamping in it. Shock, horror!! These little “milk cartons” are so cute and perfect for a little gift. The paper is the gorgeous “Flowers for Every Season”. I love the daisy pattern but of course the tulips trump them in my heart. The closure is a little bulldog clip. So dinky!!! The sentiment comes from the matching Memory & More cards. I just cut them out and stuck them on. Super easy.

Magnolia Blooms Memory & More Cards

I have a very simple and easy card to share with you today. Shock, horror, it contains no stamping. This card uses the Magnolia Blooms Memory & More Cards to create this easy and simple card. This is perfect if you are new to crafting or want to make an easy but beautiful card in a hurry.

Magnolia Blooms Memory & More Cards - Birthday Card
Magnolia Blooms Memory & More Cards – Birthday Card

Stampin’ Up! have some wonderful product suites and Magnolia Blooms is an absolute favourite of mine. The designer series paper (DSP) and the Memory and More Cards match perfectly. Memory and More is Stampin’ Up!’s line of pocket scrapbooking. Each set contains both 6″ X 4″ cards as well as 4″ X 3″ cards in addition to some stickers and other speciality pieces. The cards vary in images and styles, some have journalling spots, sentiments and others are just images.

I have combined a 4″ X 3″ sentiment card with the DSP to make this card. As always all the colours match the cardstock perfectly, making for super easy crafting. I even used a sticker for the sentiment for the inside of the card!!

measurements

  • Mossy Meadow A6 Cardbase – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Mossy Meadow 4 1/2″ X 3 1/2″

I love every year when the blossom and magnolias come out. It signals spring to me and the end of cold, dark and wet days. When the flowers are over the petals fall to the ground like confetti. I literally can’t wait for warm spring days so I can go walking and enjoying the glory of the natural world.

I did say in my video that I would put up the measurements here. However, I am not going to do that as I realised that without a tutorial video they don’t make that much sense.

If you want a tutorial video then please let me know in the comments and I will do it for you. Here is a video showing you a flip through of the album as well as the supply list.
