Cards using the Texture Chic Memories and More Set

I bought the Texture Chic Memories and More cards the other day. I don't usually buy the Memories and More sets but I really wanted to get something from the Texture Chic Suite, without getting the entire suite of products. The Memories and More set was offered at a reduced price as one of the weekly specials in September. The Memories and More set is a collection of cards in various sizes that use the same patterns as the printed paper pack (DSP). I added card bases in white or Petal Pink then added a 4x6' card from the set for the front of my card (cut down to 4x5.25"), and a strip of the remaining card to inside. Some times the words were perfect so I save a few of those! Here are a some of the cards I made with this kit:

And there remained plenty of other material to use on more cards (or scrapbooking pages)...but that's for playing another day. 

Mountains and waterways

Doesn’t this card make you think of a weekend escape to a lake in a remote area? Mountains and a pretty lake, clear water and lots of evergreen conifers! Maybe you’ll go boating…kayaking or paddle boarding? A quiet afternoon of fishing from a small boat? Or just sit by the lake with a good book…

This card is made using the Waterfront stamp set. And the sentiment is from the Timeless Tropical stamp set. “Rest and relax”…definitely!

Other than the sentiment, this entire card is stamped on a single layer of Basic White card stock. The mat is Old Olive, as is the ink for the trees. The mountains are stamped in Baked Brown Sugar (retired) but you can use Crumb Cake or any brown ink. The water was inked up with Pool Party, stamped off once then stamped onto the card, Pacific Point and Night of Navy then give it depth. The sun is stamped in Daffodil Delight and the birds and sentiment were stamped with black Stazon ink. And inside, I’ve stamped the same trees as on the card front:

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you liked today’s card and are inspired to create your own peaceful scene.

Mountain Air

 

I love this masculine/gender neutral card! It reminds me of a famous phrase by Ansel Adams: “the mountains are calling and I must go”!! 

The card base is Crumb Cake and the Mint Macaron mat layer is embossed with the Trees 3D Embossing Folder. I’ve sponged the blue skies in Balmy Blue and stamped the mountains using Crumb Cake. The trees were stamped using Pretty Peacock (retired) and you’ll notice that I’ve stamped using the “stamped off” technique to give the illusion of trees fading into the distance. Another stamped set of trees were die cut and the knotted twine (from my craft stash) added a finished touch to the card. 

This card is available for purchase while quantities last from my Etsy shop at https://KikumiDesigns.Etsy.com

Thanks for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!
