I used the Gingerbread & Peppermint Memories & More cards on all of the projects in last night’s Facebook Live. This gift card holder is a remake of the project shown below. Since the card front takes a 3″ x 4″ piece of designer paper, I knew the 3″ x 4″ Memories & More cards would make this card easier. I chose a striped card and accented with other items from the suite.
I am showing pictures and dimensions here for easy reference, but you may need to see the video for complete instructions. Please click here to see the video – and please join the Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notifications of all of my live videos.
The details for this card type can be found on my July 22 post (click here). I simply substituted the Memories & More card for the designer paper on the front, and I made the card in the opposite orientation, and it opens to the side.
Another recent project that lends itself to these Memories & More cards is this Corner Pocket Card…
The directions for this card can be found in my August 11 post (click here). I remade this card using both sizes of Memories & More cards.
I cut the 4″ x 6″ cards down to 4″ x 5 1/4″ for the mat on the card base, and I used the 3″ x 4″ cards for the folded card that pulls out of the pocket. The corner pocket and Christmas shapes are cut from the designer paper in this suite.
I also used a Memories & More card and a sticker on the inside of the folded card.
As an alternate to the folded card, I made a gate fold card that can also be tucked into the corner pocket (above picture, left). The gate fold can also be mounted on a card base (above picture, right). The base of the gate fold measures 4 1/4″ x 6 1/2″, scored at 1 5/8″ and 4 7/8″.
The gate fold is sized to hold a 3″ x 4″ Memories & More card – a full card on the inside, or a card cut into two equal halves on the front.
And finally, I modified a favorite Memories & More project from the past to make the cards shown above. The inspiration for these cards is shown below – a card with a trifold panel decorated with 3″ x 4″ Memories & More cards.
On my Gingerbread & Peppermint versions, I used a large die cut shape from the Scalloped Contours collection on the front of the trifold instead of a Memories & More card, but each inside looks the same as the original.
The card base measures 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″, and in my Gingerbread and Peppermint versions, the mat on the card base measures 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
The first one is in landscape orientation, and includes a pocket for a gift card. (The pocket is half of a 3″ x 4″ Memories & More card.).
The scalloped contour rectangle is covered with a piece of designer paper that measures 3 3/8″ x 4 5/8″. The trifold piece measures 4 1/4″ x 9 3/4″, scored at 3 1/4″ and 6 1/2″.
The second is in portrait orientation, and I have used two 3″ x 4″ Memories & More cards on the trifold section. The “cookies” on this card are cut from the designer paper, and the other pieces (cooling rack, oven mitt, spatula and greeting) are from the card pack. It’s so great to have the coordinating pieces to mix and match!
