The Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack is still available in the US online store (it is one of the products retiring soon from the July-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog). So I thought I’d put together some Christmas cards with it to share with any of you who are looking for some super quick cards to get out in the mail this season. But hurry!… You’d want to purchase them asap (and maybe with expedited shipping) if this is your goal and you don’t have them yet.
If you already have this year’s Christmas cards done, you could grab up this card pack for next year’s cards especially if you like “quick and easy.” And by making the cards as I’ve done with this pack, you can get 66 cards!! Plus you’ll have lots of other elements of the pack left over for either creating more cards, creating some gift tags, or for using in other paper crafting projects.
The cards I put together from the 4″ x 6″ Memories & More Cards in the pack are cut in half. I used 5 of the 6 designs. And there are 3 of each of these. So you can get 5 x 2 x 3 = 30 cards total.
The cards I put together from the 3″ x 4″ Memories & More Cards will give you 36 cards… I used all 6 designs. And there are 6 of each of these. So you can get 6 x 6 = 36 cards total.
30 + 36 = 66
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurementsfor each card…
Basic White Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2″ scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
Layering cardstock (Real Red or Shaded Spruce)
3-1/8” x 4-1/8”
Card from the M&M pack
3″ x 4”
These five photos show that you have options for many of the designs. You can use one side OR the other. AND…you can really use any Christmas sentiment stamps you may have on hand. But I used the “Merry Christmas” image from the coordinating Santa’s Delivery Stamp Set.
A couple M&M cards I thought were best displayed on one side only, though.
Then there were some M&M cards where I needed to pick the “background” design as my card layer. This of course meant I also needed a sentiment layer.
But instead of adding cardstock, I want to show you a fun trick with the Vintage Bottle Punch and 3-1/8″ wide cardstock (which is the width we have when the M&M card is already layered onto the red or green cardstock). Just insert the punch all the way and punch out the bottle shape. Then insert the punch all the way from the other side and punch. You may need to press by rocking side to side a bit. Punching through more than one layer is a bit tough to do.
You can then just add the layers directly to the card without Dimensionals and then stamp.
Or you can use the layers as a guide, stamp, then add Dimensionals to the back to add to the card base.
I hope you enjoyed this fun and simple way to produce 66 Christmas cards quickly.

So today I thought I would share photos of the six cards I made with these products for that Virtual Tour video. Click here or in the image below to watch that video. (The introduction of these products and cards begin around the 14:15 minute mark.)
Memories & More card packs make paper crafting a breeze. These are just six of the many cards you can quickly put together with these Memories & More products.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
This is the first card I share in the video. It’s super simple to make. I just added one of the 3×4 M&M cards to a 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ piece of Mango Melody Cardstock. And then I added that with Dimensionals to the Texture Chic M&M folded card.
This second card is one of my favorites. I love the contrast of the dark and light. And the colors are so rich. I just added one of the 3×4 M&M cards with Dimensionals directly to the Texture Chic M&M folded card. Next I added one of the stickers from the pack layered onto a piece of 1-1/8″ x 2-1/4″ Evening Evergreen Cardstock with Dimensionals. Then I embellished with Iridescent Rhinestones.
My third card involves a bit of fussy cutting, but it’s oh, so pretty and worth that extra effort. I cut out the floral image from one of the 6×4 M&M cards and added it with Dimensionals. Next I added two gold leaf stickers from the pack. The sentiment is another sticker that I layered onto a piece of 3/4″ x 2-1/8″ Basic White Cardstock and added with Dimensionals. Then I embellished the flower centers with Iridescent Rhinestones.
The fourth card is a z-fold card. I cut out the center sentiment from one of the 3×4 M&M cards, layered it onto a 1-15/16″ x 2″ piece of Petal Pink, layered that onto a piece of 2-3/16″ x 2-1/4″ piece of Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, and then added it with Dimensionals back onto the frame left from the 3×4 M&M card which I had layered onto a 3-1/8″ x 4-1/8″ piece of Petal Pink.
I took one of the M&M cards, folded it the opposite way, and then folded the front flap back onto itself to form the z-fold base.
Then I added a second 3×4 M&M card to the inside, closed the card and added the already layered piece so it conceals the one inside, and then embellished the “o” in “Love” with an Iridescent Rhinestone.
My 5th card is the simplest of all to make. But I didn’t think this “smile” M&M card coordinated very well with the Texture Chic M&M cards and envelopes. So I simply added it to one of the Basic White M&M cards with a rhinestone dotting the “i”.
This last card shares another bonus of adding in the Basic White M&M card & envelope pack. Sometimes it’s nice to make smaller cards. And the smaller cards & envelopes in this pack accommodate the 3×4 M&M card designs! On this card I simply adhered a 3×4 Texture Chic M&M card, then a sticker from the pack with Dimensionals, and then a few rhinestones.
That’s it! Super simple.
Thanks for stopping by to see what I had to share today.

Welcome to our All Star Tutorial monthly blog hop for the Abstract Beauty Suite! Be ready to be immersed in this adorable suite with all that we have to share.
The 4″ x 6″ designer paper in this suite layers perfectly with the Memories & More card packs. So I decided it would be a fun challenge to see if I could create 20 cards from a pack of Basic White Memories & More cards/envelopes, 1/4 pack of the Abstract Beauty Designer Paper (12 sheets), and a 1/2 pack of the Abstract Beauty Ephemera Pack. And I did! Yay! So from one whole pack of designer paper and 2 ephemera packs a person could easily produce 80 cards!!!
A few hours ago I shared live on YouTube and on Facebook step-by-step directions for creating each of the 20 cards. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. Remember that the measurements are just for the 20 cards. If you want to make 80, create each card four times.

One of the most adorable suite of products in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog is called Gingerbread & Peppermint. It is found on pages 8-10 with page 8 and 10 boasting some adorable samples. The Memories & More card pack is a bit different than other M&M card packs in the past, because this one appears to be more geared towards card making and treat baking than memory keeping.
So I decided to see just how many cards I could create. I had to add cardstock and envelopes but tried to use as few extra products as I could. And the end result was 42 cards!
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating the eight separate Christmas card designs needed to make these 42 cards. I used the FrostedGingerbread Stamp Set, theGingerbread & Peppermint M&M card pack, theGingerbread & Peppermint cards & envelopes, the Real Red Ruffled Ribbon, Pearls, Basic White Cardstock & Envelopes, and Early Espresso Cardstock. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
