And… here are yet more cards that I made with the Everything is Rosy Product Medley.

The rose gold paper is so gorgeous, I wanted to use every scrap!  For the first card, I just grabbed some of the 3×3 pieces from yesterday and cut them in quarters.  And the second card has the scraps leftover from the set of 12 cards I made in this post.  I swiped the Rose Gold shimmer paint across the navy card base using a sponge dauber.

I love these cards with a different shape.   I cut Whisper White cardstock at 6-1/2 x 6-1/4 and scored in half at 3-1/4.  I cut one piece of the 6×6 DSP at 3″, 2″ and 1″.  The one inch piece is flipped over on the first card to mat the banner.  Or you could make 3 of the second card from one piece.   Again, the border piece is die cut from a 1″ strip of the rose gold foil included in the product medley.

Anyhow, they fit in a regular letter sized envelope – perfect for a money card for birthday or graduation.

And last, but not least, some #simplestamping on note cards with just the stamp set and ink.  Try some different color combos for different seasons.

The Everything is Rosy Product Medley is only available in May while supplies last.  Check out everything included HERE at my shop.

Yesterday I showed you 12 easy cards to make with a few 6×6 sheets of Designer Series Paper.  And here are some more using the Everything is Rosy Product Medley by Stampin’ Up!

These 2 easy cards feature the gorgeous ribbons that come in the medley.

Don’t you love the beautiful font in the stamp set too?

And you are just using  3×3 pieces of the metallic paper, so imagine how many you can make!

These cards measure 4-1/2 square, so still fit in a medium, invitation size envelope, but with a fun shape.  And again, you are only using 3×3 pieces of the designer paper!

You’ll want to grab the EVERYTHING IS ROSY Product Medley before it is gone, and I’ll send you this gift by mail so you can make the cards from yesterday’s post.  More projects tomorrow!

Happy crafting,

I’m soooooo glad I decided to get the limited release “Everything is Rosy” product medley!  Last time I showed you some mini-albums made by Stampin’ Up! artisans.  Now I’ll share how I maximized the gorgeous rose gold papers on some easy, but elegant cards.

All 4 cards use just one sheet of 6×6″ paper.

Instructions:  Cut at 4″, then cut the 4″ piece again at 4 so you have a square.  Cut the square in half diagonally.  You now have the 4 pieces you need to make these 4 cards plus a tiny scrap (that will be used in a future post).

Here’s another set of 4:

Tip: Cut the Rose Gold metallic paper in 1″ strips to make the die-cut borders.  This border die is my favorite one in the bundle.

The ribbons are also included in the product medley.

Here’s the last set of 4:

The first card also has a swiped background of shimmer paint (I used a sponge dauber).

The lovely tags are also included in this medley, or you can use a punch as I did with the first card in this group.

This special product medley is only available while supplies last at my store here.

And my gift to you will be this set of card mats in coordinating colors!

So all you need is some white card bases to make these 12 cards – and you’ll have lots more of the gorgeous designer paper and the rose gold foil…

for more projects…

that I will show later this week!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!

I had a family get-together, so no scrapbooking today, but will have some fun photos and memories for later.  I shared a mini-album I made earlier this week in this post.  And here are some gorgeous albums and a page made by some our Stampin’ Up! Artisans using the “Everything is Rosy” product medley.

This first one is by one of our European demonstrators.

This gorgeous album is by Lauren Alarid.  The instructions are here on the Stampin’ Up! blog.

And if those don’t make you crave the “Everything is Rosy” Product Medley, I don’t know what will.  See this post if you are a card maker – it’s great for that too!

Get it here before it is sold out!

And be sure to subscribe to my newsletter here for your free CardClass pdf.

I love the Memories & More Card Packs by Stampin’ Up!  Not only are the cards and sticker sheets great for scrapbooking, but they make delicious cards too.   And they usually coordinate with a Stampin’ Up! product suite which means endless opportunity for coordinated creativity!

And a yummy color combo:

Perfect for the Memories & More albums:

I decided to make a set of birthday cards with the 4×6 cards.  The cards and envelopes are sold separately, and fit the 2 sizes – 3×4 and 4×6.  I added a punched birthday sentiment and a little flower made with the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack.  So simple!  Some of the cards have a bright shiny coating for extra fun:

The envelopes for the smaller cards are not mailable.  They are still great for gift tags and fun little notes.  But I wanted to make them larger so I added to a dry embossed piece of Call Me Clover mat and then a  piece of 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 thick white cardstock to fit in a regular invitation sized envelope:

But now, what to do with my extra small envelopes?

How about a mini album?

I usually glue the flaps to the back of the previous envelope.  But since the flaps had the nice stripe, I added the flap to the front.  I put together 4 envelopes and added cards and stickers and a belly band. Plus an insert for the envelope.  How fun and easy with the Memories & More cards.

The Memories & More card packs and Happiness Blooms Suite products are retiring SOON and only available while supplies last – click on the photos below.
