Moments Like These.....

Here are the 3 projects we made
at the beginning of our Memory Keepers Class last month...

I always love to show alternate uses for the fabulous cards that come in our Project Life Card Kits (that we use at our Memory Keepers Class) - they are great for helping us preserve our memories in our albums, but can also be used to make quick and cute greeting cards, too!

We start this card with a Whisper White Card base, then added one of the cards from our Moments Like These Project Life Card Collection. I love those Watermelon Wonder and Whisper White stripes on that card!

This card needed to be cut down to fit on our card front - the largest cards in the Project Life kit measure 4x6" - we just cut it down to 4 x 5 1/4"

Next, we added a 3x4" card (Hooray for Today!) to a layer of Basic Black card stock and popped it up on Dimensionals.

Finally, we punch a Silver Foil Star with our new Medium Star Punch, put a strip of Washi Tape (from the Moments Like These Accessory Pack) behind it, and also added a Basic Black Stitched Satin Bow to the card.

Here's a peak at our next card.....

We start this card with a Basic Black card base, then added another card from our Moments Like These Project Life Card Kit (also cut down to 4 x 5 1/4").

Next, we added that gold banner and those gold sequins (found in the Moments Like These Accessory Pack) to the card.

Finally, we cut a square of the Gold Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and layered one of the small 2x2 cards from the Moments Like These Accessory Pack over it. I just love that sentiment - we are the dreamers of dreams!

And here's a peak at our last card.....

Again, we start with a Whisper White card base, then added another card from our Moments Like These Project Life Card Kit (also cut down to 4 x 5 1/4").

Next, we added the "think happy thoughts" tag from the Moments Like These Accessory Pack.

We also added a Tea Lace Paper Doily (half of it, anyway!) and that cute butterfly - using the Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly Punches - along with some more sequins found in the Accessory Pack

Finally, we tied a Mint Macaron Lace Trim Bow around the card!
This ribbon ties beautifully!!
