Welcome to week twelve of the Heart Of Christmas Blog Hop!
This week I’m sharing three cards that are perfect for a beginner cardmaker to make as they require no stamping or die cutting.
All I’ve used is a pack of the Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack, card bases from Memories & More Card Packs and a few embellishments.
The Santa Express Memories & More Card Pack includes:
- 54 double-sided, printed cards
- 2 sheets of stickers
- 4 acetate overlays
- 2 laser-cut sheets of words and embellishments
I love the colour combinations and the designs of the Memories & More cards in this pack.
For card one I’ve used this graphic Christmas Tree design and a Christmas sentiment cut from another one of the Memories & More cards. Clear Elegant Faceted Gems embellish the tops of some of the trees.
My “Joy” card uses one of the stickers from the pack, an Evening Evergreen Memories & More card, a Wonderful Snowflake and a pink Elegant Faceted Gem.
Card three also uses another one of the stickers from the pack – Happy Holidays –a Petal Pink Memories & More card and another Wonderful Snowflake with a Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gem in it’s centre and clear Elegant Faceted Gems on the sentiment.
Wonderful Snowflakes are one of my favourite Christmas embellishments as they instantly add an elegant touch to any Christmas card.
Quick and easy but oh so effective – Memories & More cards and notecards and envelopes are great to have in your stash when you really don’t have the time or the inclination for stamping and die cutting.

I love how the M & M pack has all the bits and pieces to make beautiful cards but at the same time you can add other embellishments too. Your three cards are fabulous Cathy!
Lovely idea Cathy – you can never have too many simple card designs in order to churn out a stack of quick cards.
Three great cards Cathy showcasing those beautiful MnM cards. Just lovely and the snowflakes are a great addition.
A great trio of cards, Cath. These would be awesome for a beginner class with very little cost to get people interested in the craft. Love the snowflakes for quick accents too!
Three gorgeous cards Cathy. Aren’t the M&M cards lovely and you have used them beautifully to create simple but no less delightful cards. I do love the addition of the Wonderful Snowflakes. Xxx
A wonderful set of cards Catherine and definitely a great idea for a beginner card maker. You have showcased how well the M & M cards work for quick and simple cards with lots of different design ideas.
Your cards are wonderful! I especially love the tree paper, but I think the pink card is my favourite. So pretty!
How clever are you, making all these cards with no stamping or die-cutting?! Great set of cards, Cath. These products make it easy to mass produce, and the designs you’ve come up with would appeal to any level of crafter. Just lovely.
