Is it possible to create 20 lovely Handmade Cards in 80 minutes?
Yes, it is ….. if you use the right products.
As you may know, I had a couple of accidents in 2021 and had been out of crafting for most of the year. So I was unable to make any Christmas cards but decided for 2022, New Years cards would be perfect. But they needed to be relatively simple.
Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack teamed with the coordinating Cards and Envelopes proved to be the ideal solution.
Hand-Penned Memories & More Card Pack
I think these are the best value products ($17.50 AU) in the entire Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue. They allow you to simplify your card making and scrapbooking. You’ll get 50 double-sided printed cards that are perfect to layer, chop, and stamp birthdays, weddings or even just springtime Handmade Cards. The card pack also includes 4 sheets of stickers to embellish your projects.
The cards come in two sizes – 3″ x 4″ (7.6 x 10.2 cm) and 4″ x 6″ (10.2 x 15.2 cm). Some of my favourite Stampin’ Up! colours are featured – Basic Black, Blushing Bride, Cinnamon Cider, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight, Pale Papaya and Pool Party.
Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes
Just adhere the cards from Card Pack to the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards. The pack includes designed printed cards and envelopes for an overall cohesive look. This pack includes 20 cards and 20 envelopes, with the folded card size: 6-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ (15.9 x 10.8 cm) in Basic Black, Garden Green, Pale Papaya and Pool Party.
I tried not to spend lots of time designing the cards as everything just coordinated to make it super easy. On a couple of the Handmade Cards, I did use some of the Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper as a background. Some of the black and white images were coloured with Stampin’ Blends. There were some cards left over that I will divert to other projects.
The envelopes are gorgeous with the contrasting flap on the back. (Sadly, no photo included).

If you live in Australia, you can purchase all the supplies you need to make these projects yourself from my online store. Simply click on the image below or head over to my “Shop” to purchase any Stampin’ Up! products and have them shipped directly to you, anywhere in Australia. But if you spend under $250 in one transaction, then use this month’s HOST CODE CAWYW2H2 (you’ll always find this code over to the right-hand side of my blog). But if you spend more than $250, then don’t add the Host Code – you get to choose your own gift (reward products) at checkout.
