KaiserCraft Mini Cards {A Walk Down Memory Lane}

{As seen today on the A Walk Down Memory Lane blog}



When I think of KaiserCraft, I generally think of their pearls, rhinestones, and alterable items.

I actually wasn't aware until recently that they also have a line of acrylic stamps!
{And with the additional discount as one of the Featured Manufacturers at A Walk Down Memory Lane this month, you can't beat the price!}



I love the subtle look that a background stamp can add to a card or scrapbook page, so I took this Script stamp:


And used it to add a little extra flair to my mini cards:

{I repeated the stamp in two colors of ink to give the image more depth and coverage.}

Thanks for stopping by today!

Patchwork Card Step-by-Step {A Walk Down Memory Lane}

{As seen today on the A Walk Down Memory Lane blog}


Today we will be creating a patchwork card, like this:



Let's start with our supplies:
-Patterned paper
-A2 card base
-Paper trimmer
-Pen or marker

Step 1:
Cut rectangles from 4 different patterns of paper:
Pattern 1: 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" and 1" x 1 3/4"
Pattern 2: 2 1/2" x 2"
Pattern 3: 1 1/2" x 2 3/4"
Pattern 4: 2 1/2" x 1 1/2" and 1 1/2" x 1 3/4"

Step 2:
Assemble the pieces as shown:

(Assembled you will have a rectangle 4" x 5 1/4" - this will create the look of a mat when adhered to a standard A2 sized card front.)
Tip: I find it easiest to adhere these to a 3 3/4" x 5" scrap of printer paper to hold them together as one piece.

Step 3:
Adhere patchwork pieces to card front.

Step 4:
Use the Rich Cocoa Dual Marker to create faux stitching.

Step 5:
Add your desired embellishment (I've added a paper bow), and enjoy your new patchwork card!




Supplies:
Patterned Paper: My Mind's Eye (Alphabet Soup Girl - Powder Puff, Call Me);
Other Paper: Kraft Outlet (kraft cardstock, kraft paper);
Marker: Memento (Dual Marker - Rich Cocoa);
Tools: EK Success (Martha Stewart scoring board); Fiskars (paper trimmer);

A blog hop wouldn't be complete without a bit of inspiration, so here are a few things I created using products from My Mind's Eye {you can pick up the supplies in the AWDML Store}:

Thank You Flourish Card:




Call Me Card:


Here's how to create those flowers for the card:
Cut your patterned paper into flower shapes in three varying sizes. {One large flower, three medium flowers, and three small flowers.}


Stack the small flowers on the medium flowers. Place one set {small and medium flower} on the largest flower cut so you now have three stacks.



Place a brad at the center of each flower stack to hold it together. Curl and fluff the various petals until you get the desired look.


Adhere the flowers and finish your card off with a sentiment.



Remember The Moments Card Set:



Don't forget to bundle your card set up with some twine!
