Do Something Creative Every Day

When I first saw the stamp set Crafting Forever, I knew I’d be adding it to my stamp collection.  I especially love the sentiment, Crafting Forever, Housework Whenever.  That is SO me! Once I start crafting, I forget about everything, especially housework!

Memories & More Love You Very Much

This week I’m making cards using the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack which includes 72 double-sided cards.  They’re used for memory keeping because they easily slip into photo pocket pages,  but they’re also a great way to make a quick and easy card!

I used two cards from the pack for today’s card.  I trimmed them both down, added a Basic Black mat for each and placed them on a Lemon Lemon Lime Twist base.  I love the combination of Basic Black & Lemon Lime Twist! Glitter Enamel Dots finished off the card! Easy!!

Unfortunately the Petal Passion Card Pack & the Glitter Enamel dots are both on the retirement list and are only available while supplies last. As of this morning, the Card Pack is on the low inventory list so if you are thinking you want one, now is the time!! 

Supply List

This is definitely a quick and easy card to make.  You don’t even have to stamp anything since the sentiment is already printed on the card! I used Snail adhesive to attach the panels and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the small panel.

Measurements

  • Lemon Lime Twist:  11″ x 4-1/4″  scored at 5-1/2″
  • Basic Black:  5-1/4″ x 4″      4-1/8″ x 3-1/8″
  • Dotted Card:  trimmed down to 5″ x 3-3/4″
  • Love You Very Much Card:  trimmed down to  3-7/8″ x 2-7/8″

I posted these cards earlier in the week, all made from the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack.  Click on each card to go to that specific blog post. (more…)

Memories & More Thank You Card

It’s Day 3 of my Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack series. This Memories & More Card Pack is inspired by the Petal Passion Suite in the Occasions Catalog which also includes the stamp set Petal Palette (I used it for my sentiment on today’s card). Unfortunately the Card Pack is retiring and available only while supplies last, but the Petal Palette stamp set will be returning in the new annual catalog!

This card kit is the perfect way to make a quick and easy card (but it’s also great for Memory Books). Today’s card uses two cards from the kit and the picture below shows one of the cards I used.  Instead of using the card as intended, placing a sentiment in the center, I covered it up with a Basic Black mat and one of the smaller cards.

Memories & More With Petal Palette Video

This morning the Clearance Rack was updated! Treat Tubes, Designer Series Paper, Big Shot dies, punches and so much more! The best part?  It’s all discounted!! Everything is while supplies last so head on over and check it out!

This week I’m sharing cards using the versatile Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack. This pack comes with 72 double-sided cards that can be used for memory albums, cards or even gift tags.  I shared my first card yesterday and today I have another card as well as a video. You’ll actually see a sneak peek at the end of the video of a few more cards that will be on my blog later in the week.  I did have some major technical difficulties with the video.  I finished taping, sat down to edit and only half of the video recorded. What?? So frustrating.  Because there are only two cards of each design in a pack, I couldn’t start over and recreate the card so instead of not sharing the video with you, I added more to the video and explain how I completed the card.    (more…)

Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack

I’ve had the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack since it came out in January, JANUARY, and I used it for the first time yesterday.  What was I thinking? This is such a great pack of cards and now it’s retiring!!  There are 72 double-sided cards that can be used for card making or for memory books.

If you follow my blog, you know I love Petal Passion Designer Series Paper (also retiring) as I’ve used it on many, many cards. The Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack compliments the paper beautifully. Most of the cards are black and white with a few in Powder Pink sprinkled throughout.

For the next several days I’m going to share cards I’ve made using this gorgeous card pack. The card pack debuted in the Occasions catalog and has been very popular. It was actually on backorder for some time and it’s now in stock, but it’s retiring and available only while supplies last.

To create my card, I took two of the cards in the pack and mounted them each on a piece of Basic Black and then attached them to a base of Thick Whisper White.  The sentiment is from the stamp set Petal Palette which is part of the Petal Passion Suite which includes Petal Passion Designer Series Paper and the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Kit. I heat embossed the sentiment on Basic Black using Versamark ink and White Embossing Powder. I popped it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals and added Glitter Enamel Dots (another retiring product).

Measurements

  • Thick Whisper White:  11″ x 4-1/4″
  • Basic Black:  5″ x 3-3/4″        3-3/4″ x  2-3/4″      scrap for sentiment
  • Pink Memories & More card trimmed down to 4-3/4″ x 3-1/2″
  • Black and white Memories & More card trimmed down to 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″

The video below does a really good job of showing all the cards that come in the Memories & More Card Pack plus the extras that are included. If you have any questions, please let me know! (more…)
