Stuck on What to Make? Try This Card SketchYou know that feeling when you want to sit down and make something, but your brain just… stalls?

Same.

That’s exactly why I love a good card sketch. It gives you just enough structure to get started, but still leaves plenty of room to play with your stamps, dies, and paper.

This week’s sketch is one of those go-to, use-it-over-and-over layouts. It’s clean, it’s simple, and it works with pretty much anything in your stash – which also makes it perfect for trying out new Stampin’ Up!® products without overthinking it.

Make sure you scroll all the way through – I’ve got a free downloadable project sheet with all the measurements so you can recreate these at your own pace.

This week’s project is one of those just start cutting and see what happens techniques - and it turns out really cool. The Zigzag Strip Card Technique is perfect for using up scraps, trying out new Designer Series Paper, and creating something beautiful in a flash.

If you like quick, satisfying cardmaking (and who doesn’t?), you’re going to love this one.

This month’s Online Card Class is all about taking one bundle – the Springtime Scenes bundle – and turning it into three completely different handmade cards. We’ve got a quick everyday card, a wow-factor fun fold, and a sweet “new beginnings” card that works for so many occasions.

And yes… one of these is a fun fold that looks fancy but is absolutely doable. You’ve got this.

Keep reading for all the card details and to grab the tutorial bundle if you missed the class.

If you’ve ever wanted a card that looks impressive but doesn’t require a whole engineering degree… this is it.

This week’s project is a window tri-fold card, and it is one of those designs that feels a little “extra” in the best way – but once you make one, you’ll realize how simple it really is. It’s a great way to show off your patterned paper and your dies without overthinking anything.

Make sure you read through to the end to grab the free downloadable project sheet with all the measurements, and see all four card ideas in action.

You know that moment when you get new stamping supplies and just… stare at them?

Yeah. Same.

That’s exactly why I love using a card sketch. It takes the pressure off figuring out a layout so you can actually play with your new stamps, patterned paper, and colors.

I shared this sketch in yesterday’s post, and apparently I wasn’t done with it – because I sat down and made three more cards using brand new Stampin’ Up!® products coming in May.
