Thoughtful Cards with Daniela

Our new Magical Memories collection is perfect for documenting your Disney park trip, but you can use it for so much more! Design team member Daniela has a special treat to share with you today: cards created with a thoughtful and special birthday gift in mind. Let’s check them out!

Hi everybody! It’s Daniela here, and I’m sharing a few cards with you guys today. I used the new Magical Memories collection to create a set of cards for a dear friend of mine because I intend to give her a special birthday gift this year: a fun day out, just the two of us. Adult life often is way too busy to see friends as often as we’d like to, so a special day seems to be a good idea to me!

These are the two cards I’m planning to give her:

Supplies | Magical Memories Journaling TagsMagical Memories Acetate Die CutsMagical Memories At the Castle Wood Veneers, Magical Memories 6×6 Paper Stack, Magical Memories Stamp, Noteworthy – 12×12 Paper Collection

The first card is for inviting her to a special day, so I chose the sentiment, “ready for fun!” I won’t give her too many details—the day should be full of surprises and I’m really looking forward to it. I also used some stamped hearts from the Magical Memories Stamp on this card to express how much she means to me.

I created a second card that I want to give to her together with some photos a couple of weeks after our day off. This way, she will have a little keepsake. Printed pictures are worth so much more than all the digital ones. I’m sure we’ll be having a good time, so the card says, “this was magical” and “100% fun.”

I wanted to make a set of cards that look nice when putting them into the album together, so I tried to use the same colors on both cards: teal, pink, and yellow, plus black and white. 

Both cards have different layers and dimensional effects. The Magical Memories Acetate Die Cuts I used on the cards add a special texture. There are also little details like color splashes, shiny black acrylic paint drops and a ribbon to create a special look.

The second card also holds an acetate scalloped die-cut, this time it is placed on the right side of the card. The design of the castle on the Magical Memories Journaling Tag is so pretty! Even if our day is not Disney related, this castle represents magical moments and girl’s stuff, so I felt that it was perfect for this little keepsake.

I’m really looking forward to giving these cards to my friend. Something handmade is always a nice way to show how much we care. I hope you like my little gift set!
