My Facebook Live last night was all about using Memories & More Card Packs to make cards. You can use the pre-cut and scored Memories & More card bases and envelopes for the quickest and easiest results. The Whisper White bases shown above are from Item 148041 Large Whisper White Cards and Envelopes. The printed cards are from Item 146863 Big Plans Memories & More Card Pack.
The Pineapple Punch card base shown above was cut to match the white bases. It measures 6 1/4″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. The 4″ x 6″ cards from the card packs fit these cards perfectly.
I love to use cards from the Card Pack on the inside of the cards as well.
Here’s a look at the card bases from Item 148040 Small Whisper White Cards and envelopes. These fit the 3″ x 4″ cards from the card pack. I cut the striped card in half lengthwise to make a pocket on the inside of my card.
The cards from the card packs also make a great addition to our standard sized cards. I made a collection of cards on Gray Granite bases and boxed them up for a gift.
The simplest of my cards uses two of the smaller cards from the card pack and a sticker strip…
…with one of the large cards, cut to a 5 1/4″ length, on the inside.
I punched circles and used stickers from the card pack on this card…
…and matted a piece of Whisper White on a 5 1/4″ long card on the inside.
I cut one of the large cards to a 5 1/2″ length for this card, and I added two 1 1/4″ strips from small cards. I like to pop the stickers up on dimensionals, as I have here. Don’t forget to powder the back of the stickers with your embossing buddy so that they won’t get pressed and stuck to everything!
The large card on this sample was also cut to a 5 1/2″ length, and I used a stitched oval to cut an image from a small card.
I recommend picking a card pack in colors you love – you may already have trims to go with them. Or, consider a pack of embellishments or ribbon to match. With the cards in this pack, I used Petal Pink and Silver Twine, White and Silver Twine, Calypso Coral Ombre Ribbon, Basic Adhesive Sequins, Rhinestones, Silver Foil, and Silver Metallic Thread.
Even the littlest of leftover strips of card make a great addition to the inserts!
The large card on this card front was cut to 5 1/4″, and I used a small card for the focal point. It’s a fun and creative process to create all of these cards, and it is so easy because everything coordinates!
Here’s another way to create a spot for a personal message on the inside.
We also made this fun fold with the Big Plans Memories & More Card Pack last night. The base is Gray Granite, 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, and it is matted with a large card cut to a 5 1/4″ length.
The focal point is a z-fold that opens as shown above. Three of the smaller cards fit on this strip. The Gray Granite measures 4 1/4″ x 9 3/4″, scored at 3 1/4″ and 6 1/2″.
You can find the Memories & More products on pages 194-196 of the Annual Catalog. The Small and Large Whisper White Memories & More Cards and Envelopes are on the retiring list because they will be packaged in an assorted size pack in the new Annual Catalog. All of the Memories & More Card Packs are still available – Big Plans may say “backordered” in the store, but a new supply is coming!
