Add cards from Memories & More Card Packs to these card bases to simplify your cardmaking.
Use small card bases with 3″ x 4″ (7.6 x 10.2 cm) Memories & More cards. Use large card bases with 4″ x 6″ (10.2 x 15.2 cm) Memories & More cards. 20 total Memories & More card bases and 20 total envelopes: 10 small and 10 large.

Below is a photo of the Basic White Memories and More Cards and Envelopes.

Here are the Thoughtful Journey Memories and More Card Pack.

Here are the Unbounded Beauty Memories and More Card Pack.

The cards are super easy to put together.
Putting the small cards together with the small bases make beautiful quick and easy cards.

Placing one of the large memories and more cards on a card base is as easy as can be! I added just one die cut to the card to finish it off.

Another memories and more card using a large memory card and a large base card. Adding the larger die cut and popped up the sentiment piece over the die. Adding pearls to the sentiment piece finishes off this easy card.

Using two small memories cards creates another totally different look.

Another card using one large and one small pre-printed memories cards to finish this card.

The Unbounded Beauty is the second set available. These cards were created with this set. The next photo used the small cards on the small bases.

The last two cards used the large printed memories and more cards on the large bases.
First one used just one card , the second used a small card and one large card.

These are great cards, easy and quick and beautiful!

Try some cards with these Memories and More card packs. Go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time.

Happy Stampin’

more color mondays – wild wheat, lost lagoon and mossy meadow

by nataliegramleystamps | May 20, 2024 | card samples, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, more color mondays, new catalog, stamps ink paper

This Designer Series Paper Thoughtful Journey DSP was love at first sight! These water-colored works of art are stunning and make putting a beautiful card together so super easy!
Do you love making cards with Designer Series Paper go you want a sampling of all of the papers in the new catalog? I am doing a paper share and you can get a 6″ x 6″ piece of every double sided design in the new catalog. This card uses a 2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of DSP so you could make 3 of these cards from one sheet of 6″ x 6″ piece of paper!

Interested in a paper share – contact me for all the details!

Measurements:
Base: Mossy Meadow 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Wild Wheat strips (2) 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
Lost Lagoon strips 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
DSP: 2″ x 5 1/2″
Basic White scraps for 2 sentiment circles
4″ x 5 1/4″ layer for the inside

I punched a circle from scrap Basic White cardstock from the 2 3/8″ circle punch then picked one of the circle dies from the Spotlight on Nature dies that fits inside that punched circle and die cut a slightly smaller circle for the sentiment.
I stamped the sentiment thinking of you from the Thoughtful Wishes stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink and adhered the two circles together.

I cut the 6″ x 6″ dsp to 5 1/2″ at the bottom of the scene and saved that strip for the inside of this card. I cut the 6″ x 5 1/2″ ppiece into three equal parts at 2″, 4″ and 6″ that way I can make three of these cards from one sheet of 6″ x 6″ DSP!
I adhered the Wild Wheat CS strips to each long edge making the width even on both sides and from top to bottom.
I then adhered the Lost Lagoon strips to the outside edges of the Wild Wheat strips making sure they are evenly spaced as well.

Adhere the DSP and strip piece to the left edge of the card base I left a equal amount of Mossy Meadow showing on the left-hand edge.

I popped up the sentiment circle on Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed in the lower right-hand corner.

Adhere a Basic White 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer to the inside of the card and add that 1/2″ strip to the bottom to tie in with the DSP on the card front!

I added three Adhesive-backed Neutral sequins to finish off this simple card that allows this beautiful DSP to shine through!

Grab some of our gorgeous DSP and make an easy card and send it out to someone you love! Now go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!

pop out swing card – new thoughtful journey suite collection

by nataliegramleystamps | May 3, 2024 | card samples, Designer Series Paper, die cutting, fun fold, In Colors, new catalog, techniques

I first saw this fun fold on another demonstrator’s website and thought it was very cool – I changed a few things up but thanks for the inspiration Tami W. This pop Out Swing card features an incredible new suite of products called Thoughtful Journey Suite Collection. A beautiful stamp bundle with coordinating dies and two sets of gorgeous Designer Series papers. One thoughtful Designs Specialty 12″ x 12″ DSP is described in the online store as paper with a soft gradation of colors! The Thoughtful Designs 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Specialty Designer Series Paper will make a statement on your handmade cards! Easily die cut, punch, or fussy cut your favorite bundle of branches to add an elevated layer of detail to your crafts. Or turn your favorite page into a stunning card background or treat box. This lovely pearlized paper is a great way to add dimension to your creations as the colors shift when light bounces off each page!

The Thoughtful Journey 6″ x 6″ Designer Paper is what I used for this fun fold card and contains 48 sheets of gorgeous water-colored designs.

There are also Thoughtful Journey Memories and More cards for the easiest and beautiful cards on the planet!
Add a Memories and More Cards and envelopes pack and make the prettiest cards in a flash!
I will be hosting a future Stamp a Stack class with these products – what for the announcement soon!

This fun fold has a bunch of parts and pieces but it is not difficult!

Measurements:
BASE: Petunia Pop CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, scrap for focal point matte
Insert: Petunia Pop 6″ x 4 1/2″ scored at 2″ , 4″
after attaching the DSP
Inside Layer: Petunia Pop 2 1/2″ x 5″
Pool Party: (2) 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: (1) 3 3/4″ x 5 “, 2 1/4″ x 4 3/4″
Basic White: scrap for focal point about 2 1/2″
square, 3″ x 3 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2” for back
of insert

Adhere 3 3/4″ x 5″ DSP to the Pool Party layer and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss with the second largest square die from the Stylish Shapes die set. I used the Petunia Pop die cut as the matte for the swing through portion.

Adhere the layers to the card front and run through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss withe the same die so the hole is in the same spot on all three layers.

Adhere the Pool Party layer to the inside of the card. I laid out the second Petunia pop and DSP layer and decided to place them on the inside of the Pool Party layer so the DSP would be more visible after the insert is attached.

Adhere the DSP to the Petunia Pop layer and adhere to the left-hand side of the Pool Party layer.

Adhere the 4 1/4″ x 5 3/4″ DSP Insert piece to the 4 1/2″ x 6″ Petunia Pop Insert layer.
Score at 2″ and 4″ and fold both layers at the same time.

Place a generous amount of Tear & Tape to the back side of the Insert and adhere to the center right-hand side of the Pool Party inside layer.

Score the Basic White layer in half and adhere to the back side of the insert piece to have a place to write.

Die cut a Basic White square using the middle square from the Stylish Shapes die set and with the Petunia Pop and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers color in the petals and leaves of the thistle stamp image. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink and stamp on the square in the diagonal position if that is how you die cut the Stylish Shapes shape! (I had to redo mine OOPS I stamped it as a square not a diamond!)

Close the card and place Stampin’ Dimensionals on the Insert that is showing through the Diamond die cut opening.

Adhere the Sentiment diamond to the Petunia Pop diamond and adhere onto the Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added the In Color Dots and after thought I should have used the very pretty Adhesive-backed Pearl Trio – I guess i”ll save those for another card!

Here are some images of the card finished!
