Your Christmas countdown continues – it’s exactly 10 weeks today until Christmas Day!
I’ve been missing in action the past few weeks, so I’m super excited to be back this week with a couple of super quick and easy ‘no stamping’ cards that use the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack.
At just $17.50 for 54 cards the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack is a simple, affordable and easy way to get crafting this Christmas season!
Card one could not be simpler. I made two horizontal cuts across this adorable image of the polar bear family relaxing on ice platforms and icebergs.
I attached the three strips onto a Memories and More card base, leaving a narrow space between strips and flipping the top panel over to create a sky full of snowflakes.
To add extra sparkle I added some Adhesive-Backed Glitter Sequins – these are my fave embellishments. This card was completed in a matter of minutes!
Card two uses the Beary Christmas Memories & More Card Pack as well as a brand new online exclusive product, the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.
As soon as I received this punch I knew it would be the perfect shape to create an ornament card!
The centre of the card is a smaller Memories & More Card, with the reverse side of the same Memories & More Card attached to the top and the bottom of the card.
The “For you” sentiment is a sticker form the sticker sheets also included in the Memories & More Card.
I could have used several different ribbons to create the ornament hanger and bow, however I settled on the Night of Navy 3/8″ (1 cm) Bordered Ribbon, cut in half lengthways for the bow tied with the silver metallic Simply Elegant Trim as well.
I love this colour combination of different blues/silver/white, as well as how quick and easy these cards were to create!
Now it’s time to hop on over to our next participant, the lovely Theresa Gerrard I can’t wait to see what Theresa has made this week.

Cathy, I really love these alternate uses for the Memories & More card pack. Thank you for sharing their versatility. I love your quick & cute polar bear card, and using the Hexagon punch as an ornament on your second card is so clever! Love them both!
Cathy I love both your cards and how you tweaked the first by cutting the panel into strips. The punched shape makes a fabulous ornament!
Clever use of the M & M cards, Cathy. Lovely cards and using the punch for the ornament is inspired! I’ve missed your lovely creations. xx
What brilliant cards, Cathy. Nothing wrong with quick and easy cards, no body needs to know 😉 Using the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch for an ornament is awesome, love it!
Super cool cards Cathy, just shows they don’t have to have a heap of stamping to be a beautiful card
Two great “no stamping” cards Cathy and wow how ingenious to use the hexagon punch for an ornament. I might just have to case that idea.
Your cards are both so wonderful! The polar bears are a great choice, and I love how you’ve split the card. The ornament on the second card was a genius idea!
These cards may have been quick and easy to make, but they’re gorgeous! Lovely way to use the Memories & More cards, Cath. Using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch to create an ornament is inspired … and inspiring!
