Keep Your Friends Close and Your Memories Closer

This week, try putting aside time to preserve your memories with some beautiful scrapbook pages. We had fun preserving memories and friendships with the Heart & Home Memories & More Card Pack—and we are so excited to see what projects you create!

For our scrapbook pages, we kept everything simple and didn’t do any stamping—sometimes less is more, and we loved the way it turned out! We arranged the cards into their own pockets and added a few stickers. We then used the Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker to write a few words and popped up the bees with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the card, we colored the floral arrangement by squeezing drops of ink from ink refills into a stamp pad lid and using a Water Painter to color the image. We used Calypso Coral, Fresh Freesia, Old Olive, and So Saffron, and we loved the different hues of color we were able to create with the water. We finished the card with a simple embossed sentiment and a few embellishments, including some 2021–2023 In Color Jewels to coordinate with the colors in the floral image.

Let us know what memories you were able to preserve through crafting!

CASE = Copy and Share Everything

Let’s get creative this week! If you have the creativity blues, don’t worry! This week, we are on the CASE to help you copy and share everything! So, get crafty with us as we CASE the You Are Amazing card in three gorgeous ways. Then try CASEing a project or two on your own and let us know what you came up with!

For our Just for You card, we layered the Mossy Meadow Designer Series Paper onto a cardstock base, then added the Shimmery White Cardstock off-center in the upper left corner. With a stamp or two, some ribbon, and a sentiment, this card is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.

We CASEd the I Like You card by copying the heat embossing technique used on the You Are Amazing card. First, we colored the flower stamp from the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set with Stampin’ Write Markers, then colored the ink splatters with VersaMark ink. We applied gold embossing powder, making sure to keep the gold off the flower and stem, then we heat embossed it. Isn’t it so cute?

For our Sending a Thousand Well-Wishes card we CASEd the color combination from our You Are Amazing card—Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight, Sahara Sand, and a touch of gold. For this card we used slightly watered-down Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the flowers to add the Gilded Leafing. We just love the way it turned out.
