Skylark Club Cards

Next month my clubs will be creating with our beautiful Skylark papers! I've already posted the layouts, now for the cards! 

I had several ideas for the cards - but gravitated toward this idea in the end. I'm using our new Picture My Life pocket card memory keeping system. It's an incredibly easy way to capture your memories on the go by sliding in photos and journaling or sentiment cards in convenient 4x6 and 3x4 sizes!

Well, I wanted to use these gorgeous cards for CARDS!

Each Picture My Life (PML) kit includes a 12x12 cover page, a 10-pack of Memory Protectors, and 122 double-sided cards in 3"x4" and 4"x6" horizontal and vertical designs! 

ONE HUNDRED TWENTY TWO CARDS!!!!! WOWZERS!

There are 44 - 4x6 cards (2 each of 22 designs) and 78 - 3x4 cards (3 each of 26 designs). I selected 15 PML cards and made 10 greeting cards. They went together SO easily and quickly I found myself giggling! Here's how they turned out - but WAIT! I've seen these cards embellished to the "T" with bling and ribbon and cricut cuts, and accessories galore! But I'm always conscious of the cost of a project and wanted to keep it on the simple economical side - with the OPTION of adding on if you want! I'll explain more later….so with simplicity and economy in mind, here is what I came up with…

This card has a 4x6 and a 3x4 PML card layered together with Kraft cardstock. I added a few sparkles to the bird cage chain.

This one is simply one 4x6 card trimmed down to fit a standard sized card. And a few sparkles. That's it! EASY? You bet!

This card features some of the skylark paper on the base and then parts I trimmed off of other cards - and a few sparkles...

The sentiment came from a PML card, I just trimmed it out and added it to my card base! 

This is another beautiful 4x6 card that I trimmed down and matted with kraft cardstock. I added some interest in the bottom left with left-over trimmed of card parts and a resin flower.

This is another 4x6 card, trimmed down to fit a stand card! I added a resin flower and leaves trimmed from excess card parts! (I love the sentiment!)

Here is another 4x6 card that says it all! Simply matted on kraft cardstock with a few sparkles! 

(See the tiny red dots toward the bottom left sided? Yep, I can honestly say that I put my BLOOD, sweat, and sometimes tears into my cards! Can anyone say "paper cut"?)

Here is a card with Skylark paper on the card base and a sentiment trimmed out from a 3x4 card! So easy! 

 Here is a card with Skylark paper on the base, a 3x4 PML card in the center and a sentiment trimmed out from a 4x6 PML card! Again - SO easy!

 Here are 2 PML cards matted in kraft cardstock and layered together. I added a piece of zip strip arrow border at the top to match the bottom and a resin flower with a sparkle. (You don't even need the flower! It's cute without it!)

And finally, this has a 4x6 card on the base and a 3x4 card matted in kraft cardstock and a sentiment cut from another 3x4 card added on top! You really don't need that last "you and me" part, but I put it on there anyway. And added a resin bird and some bitty sparkles.

Inside of the card I added a trimmed down 4x6 card!

See what I mean about EASY? Now remember I said I had used 15 total PML cards? That means there are still 107 cards to create MORE! Or scrapbook with, or use as notes or gift tags, etc. 

Another note, I chose cards with sentiments on them already. There are a TON of cards just waiting for your personalized stamped sentiments!
