Memorydex

Hi there Cocoa Vanilla fans! Danni here sharing a fun project that I have recently become obsessed with – Memorydex cards! These fun little rolodex-style cards have become a crafty trend lately, and I have been loving how quick they are to make. These bright summery ones made with the Sunkissed collection are going to be included in swaps with some crafty friends x

The base for these cards is a 3x4inch rectangle. I used a combination of 12×12 patterned paper scraps, the A5 paper stack and 3×4 pocket cards. I recently splurged on a specialist punch to make the rolodex holes, but there are also dies and digital cutfiles available to achieve the same thing.

For the rainbow cards, I cut three arch shapes from the A5 paper stack and distressed the edges. I then popped them up on foam and added them to the card bases. I then layered up some title die cuts from the die cut ephemera with tiny word phrases from the accessory stickers.  I added a sun die cut and some dimensional drops to finish them off.

For the next couple of cards, I fussy cut the ‘vacay vibes’ drink, ice cream cone and rainbow elements from the 3×4 pocket cards. I layered the drink element with a palm tree, hearts and phrase banner die cut ephemera, as well as some dimensional drops.

I layered the ice cream cone with the rainbow and ‘Love This’ piece, plus a tiny word phrase accessory sticker. I added a bunch of dimensional drops to the ice cream to look like sprinkles, added a white gel pen sketchy border and a splattering of gold ink.

For the next two cards I wanted to create little tropical beach scenes. I love the ombre yellow to orange of Summer Lights 12×12 patterned paper as the base for these. I layered up pieces of beach-themed die cut ephemera next. For card 1 I used a towel, beach umbrella, bikini and flip flops to make the cutest little beach flatlay.

For card 2 I used another palm tree and the adorable coconut cocktail, plus some hearts and a few accessory stickers. Some of these I popped up on adhesive foam for extra dimension, then I outlined the hearts with white gel pen and added some more gold ink splatters and dimensional drops.

I love all the little details in these cards! They are the perfect little keepsake to swap with friends, although I love them so much I think I will have to keep at least one for myself. All of these designs would make adorable greeting cards as well, this collection is so easy to use. Thanks for joining me today. Happy scrapping!
