Hand Penned Memories and More – Quick and Easy Cards. Today I need to be doing some work on my late Father’s Estate, so I am not able to join you live. Instead I have bought you an extra video using the Hand Penned Memories and More Card Pack and matching Cards and Envelopes pack.

Since the end of May I have been looking at ways to bring card making to more people without having to invest in lots of products. This is being made REALLY easy with the launch, on Tuesday, of our Kits Collection. This is a rolling supply of Crafting Kits, some that include stamping and some that need no stamping at all. Today I am looking at an alternative to these fantastic kits; Memories & More Card Packs and Cards and Envelopes.

The Hand Penned Suite is, I think we all agree, one of the run away successes of the new Annual Catalogue. I love it, so much that I am planning a Creativity in a Box Class in the Mail with it very soon! Keep your eyes peeled for that and remember to subscribe to my Newsletter for early notification.

This first card could not have been easier. All I did was take one of the printed Hand Penned Cards and Envelopes and a small card from the Card Pack, tied some Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around it before adding it to the front of the card with some Dimensionals.

A few Basic Pearls and the card is finished. I hope you agree that this is a card that you would be happy to send and receive. Just the few additions of ribbon and pearls take this to a stepped up level.

For my second card I have added some of the Highland Heather Grosgrain Ribbon in a simple band across the top of one of the large Memories and More cards. I added the card to the front of one of the large Assorted Memories and More Card and Envelope pack.

The sentiment is one of the stickers included in the Memories and More Card Pack. I added the sticker with some Dimensionals and simply added some more of the Pearls.

Again, another pretty card that involved no stamping, but still has a sentiment. I am really enjoying making these cards, especially as they are so quick to put together. But there is more!

This final card is probably the fastest to put together, but perfect for those moments when you forgot you needed a card. Just one of the small cards from the card pack and a small card and envelope and you are pretty much done.

Of course, me being me, I had to add something extra, so kept going with the Basic Pearls. They really are so easy to add and you get LOTS in  a pack, so they are economical too. Just 3 make such a difference to this small card.

I hope you agree that these really are the perfect addition to your craft stash. If you only add the card pack and the printed cards you could make 20 stunning cards for under £1 each and still have lots left for more. Add the Assorted Memories and More Cards and Envelopes and you can make 40 cards for just 70p each! Add the Pearls as well and your 40 cards are still only 82p each. Of course you could use the spare cards for some Scrapbooking!
