Today I’m hopping with Crafty Collaborations a group of demonstrators from around the world who share activities like this blog hop to challenge each other and you to expand your creativity. I’m featuring the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack and Santa Express Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.
Today’s Project – Santa Express Memories & More – Set #1
I have a few customers who like to make Christmas cards with their grandchildren. And, I have a few customers who are elderly and want to make cards but need something simple. For example, one of my customers who just love to stamp is 95 years young. When I showed her these samples, she was so excited. They are perfect for her. Let’s take a look at what I recommended.
The above image shows 6 of my samples. I put these together to show my customers what’s possible. And, some of them just like instructions, so these pictures will help them when they start creating.
Memories & More Card Pack
The first thing I suggested was the Santa Express Memories & More card pack. It comes with 4″ x 6″ and 3″ x 4″ cards, two sheets of stickers, and two sheets of wooden laser cuts. These cards can be used for pocket scrapbooking, regular scrapbooking, and making cards. These are perfect for simple cards with no stamping needed.
Memories & More Cards & Envelopes
To go along with the card pack, I also recommended Memory and More Cards & Envelopes. These are larger cards and envelopes that hold the 4″ X 6″ cards from the card pack beautifully.
Santa Express Designer Series Paper
Since there are more cards in the card pack than there are cards with envelopes, I also recommended the Santa Express Designer Series Paper. This paper coordinates beautifully with the Santa Express Memories and More Cards & Envelopes. This enables more creative opportunity by cutting the paper to use with existing card bases.
Today’s Color Palette
I took the color palette straight from the Santa Express Memories & More card pack. Although it uses a few other colors, I stuck with the traditional red & green colors of Poppy Parade and Shaded Spruce.
Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels
Santa Express Memories & More Set #2
The image above shows my second set of cards. As you can see, I colored the laser cuts with blends to add a little more color. But, as you can see with the snow laser cut, you don’t have to color them if you don’t want to.
Santa Express MemorIes & More Set #3
Here’s the third set of cards I made. Again, these are very easy to assemble which is perfect for the customers I’m targeting. Of course, it was hard for me not to jazz them up a little!
Santa Express MemorIes & More – Set #4
And here’s my final set of cards. Only two from this set use the cards from the card pack exclusively. The other cards use Basic White, Crumb Cake, and Poppy Parade card bases with some of the Santa Express DSP, These show that you can get more than 20 cards by supplementing with some cardstock and envelopes.
The card pack also comes with 4 clear sheets with designs on them. One of the cards above uses one of the sheets which was cut down to fit a standard card base. Attaching it to the card base was easy with an adhesive sheet.
I hope you’re inspired by today’s cards and that you can use my ideas for your own crafting. Now, grab a beverage, sit back and relax and enjoy even more inspiration from the rest of the hop.
