Here’s For this week’s Facebook Live, I reached for the Days Like This Memories & More Card Pack, and it reminded me why I enjoy working with these packs so much. They take the pressure out of designing and let you jump straight into creating something beautiful. This card was inspired by one my Alaskan friend, Teri West, created. I loved her layout and the way she let the Memories & More elements shine. The card came together quickly using one of the printed cards as the base layer, paired with a few simple additions, ribbon, embellishments, and a sentiment. The colours and illustrations in this pack do most of the work for you, which makes it ideal for both quick crafting sessions and those times when you want a polished result without overthinking the layout. If you’re new to cardmaking or just want an easy way to build up a stash of ready‑to‑send cards, Memories & More products are a great option. They offer coordinated designs, pre‑printed elements, and plenty of flex...

Here’s the card I shared on tonight’s Facebook Live. I used the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set, Masks and Dies. It is such a lovely reminder of how easy it can be to achieve an "artistic" look with the right products. The Layers of Beauty Stamp Set, along with the coordinating masks and dies, really do all the hard work for you. The layering technique with the colours, creates depth and softness that feels almost hand-painted - without needing any special colouring skills. I chose a gentle, feminine colour palette of Petal Pink, Calypso Coral and Soft Sea Foam. These colours blend beautifully together and give the florals a fresh, elegant feel. The sentiment "Grateful for You" felt like the perfect finishing touch, paired with a few gold embellishments and white Baker's Twine for added texture. If you've ever felt unsure about colouring or layering, this suite is such a confidence booster; it truly makes you feel like an artist. You can watch the full tutorial o...
