Today I’m sharing some simple cards I put together with the new Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack. They were super easy and quick to make when I paired the supplies in this pack with the Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. I made ten 3″ x 4″ cards and still have LOTS of pieces left in this pack.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
These are the first four. I didn’t do anything fancy to the envelopes, because the card layers themselves had such beautiful designs.
I stamped a couple sentiment images from the Hand-Penned Petals Stamp Set onto two blank labels in the pack, lifted all the sentiment layers up on Dimensionals, and added some Genial Gems for a bit of sparkle.
Here are the next two. This time I stamped floral images on the envelopes.
I really didn’t do much the the cards. I stamped the word “Thanks” on the green one. But otherwise I only added a couple Genial Gems to each.
I went a little further with these next two, because I stamped the insides of the cards.
Are you giggling. I know, right? These cards are NOT any more difficult. In fact I did nothing to the card front layers except add some gems.
In fact, that’s the same story with these last two.
So if you are looking for quick cards (and we are all in need of those when we find ourselves in a time crunch), I highly recommend this Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack and the coordinating products I’ve mentioned.
The last couple days were a bit busy here. And I forgot to share the latest Stamp-n-Storage news. My apologies. Yesterday kicked off their SPRING SALE! So if you you are in the market for some craft room organizational products, be sure to click here and begin shopping.

I’ve got a ton of these storage pieces in my crafting space. In fact my latest products are these Blending Brushes holders. I’m in the process of painting them to match my room décor. As with all my other pieces, I’m starting with a couple layers of spray paint to seal them. Since the weather is nice now, I’m able to do so. After the spray paint dries, I’ll be adding the latex paint to get the black and white to match completely.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today.
