Here is another set of cards that we made at the Silver Elite Retreat last weekend. Each of us took half of the Enjoy the Adventure Memories & More Card Pack…
…and a full set of Enjoy the coordinating Adventure Memories & More Cards & Envelopes…
…and created 20 quick greeting cards.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
There are only a couple that I’ll need to explain as far as measurements go. But most are just M&M 3×4 or 4×6 cards added to the front of a folded M&M card base with Dimensionals and possibly stickers or some rhinestones for added embellishing.
Cards 1 & 2…
Easy-peasy, right?! But so cute. (Remember the 2 rhinestones on the “o” on card #1.)
Cards 3 & 4…
(BTW…Inside layers are added with Seal Adhesive not Dimensionals.)
Cards 5 & 6…
Yep…I folded card #5 the opposite way so the blue was on the inside. And it may be hard to see, the exclamation mark on card #6 has a rhinestone on the dot.
Cards 7 & 8…
Both of these have rhinestones on the front flowers. Card #7 has Dimensionals under the Happy Birthday sticker. (I pounced on some powder from the Embossing Buddy to the back of this sticker to remove the stickiness before adding the Dimensionals.)
Cards 9 & 10…
The insides are blank so no photo necessary. But I have a tip for each card.
For card #9 the goal is to cover up the orange and words in the square sticker. Position the two floral stickers first (without sticking them down all the way). Cover what you can and then tuck in and stick on the leaves to cover the rest. The smallest flower is on a Mini Dimensional. And both flowers have rhinestones in the middle.
For card #10 after adding the main layer using a Dimensional in all four corners only, attach the “happy for you” sticker and tuck the black “the best time” sticker underneath to create a shadow.
Cards 11 & 12…
Card #11’s butterfly is attached with a Dimensional. Card #12’s “congrats” is attached with a Dimensional edge – a long skinny section.
Cards 13 & 14…
The insides are blank so no photo.
For card #14’s main layer is added with Seal Adhesive – flat to the card. The heart sticker is added with a Dimensional.
Cards 15 & 16…
Cards 17 & 18…
The top 3×4 layer for card #18 is cut from one of the 4×6 cards.
For card #17 (and #19), you’ll want to cut these two 4×6 pieces in this way. Ignore the extra cut in my “hello there” piece. You only need to remove 1/4″ from the top. The other one gets cut into sections: 1-1/4″, 2″, 1″ and 1-3/4″. Be sure your flowers look the same as mine in my photo when you make your cuts, so that when you flip the 2″ wide section over…
…you get this. The two sections in the middle go on card #17 – floral strip added with Seal and “thinking of you” added with Dimensionals. (And rhinestones dotting the i’s and in the center of the two flowers.)
The other two sections are then added to the “hello there” piece that has 1/4″ cut from the top so that the skinnier floral strip can line up with the new top edge and the wider one goes a bit beyond but when adhered makes it a 6″ tall card again.
Cards 19 & 20…
For card #20 add the “thank you” thought bubble sticker with a Dimensional. Then adhere the rainbow-ish sticker just a bit on each side of the thought bubble extending to each edge. Trim, then add to the card front.
The inside of card #19 looks like this and is just using stickers in a clever way to hide what’s underneath.
Wasn’t that fun!? I love a simple quick way to get a bunch of cards made for gift sets or just to have on hand when you need something to send out. Scroll down to shop the products that you’ll need for making these cards.
