Card Sketch: Three Squares

Card sketches help you make quick and easy cards. Since the dimensions and layout are already worked out, it's easy to just fill in the blanks with your own stamps, inks, and papers. Or, you can take the card sketch and put your own spin on it. Either way, they are one of my favorite forms of inspiration for card making. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Celebrate Sunflowers Card Design

My first sample uses the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. I stamped the smaller sunflowers with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I layered the images on some Plaid Tidings patterned paper, which is 15% off for the month of October. For the greeting, I only inked the word "Thanks" to make it shorter.

The G.O.A.T Card Making Idea

I love these little goats! They have so much personality. I stamped each goat with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored them with Gray Granit, Crumb Cake, and Soft Suede Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. For the background paper, I used the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper. This gorgeous patterned paper is also on sale this month!

For the card base, I used Gray Granite cardstock with a layer of Basic Gray cardstock on top of it. I can't wait to send this cute goat card to someone special!

Supply List for the Poinsettia Petals Card Design

My last quick card making idea uses the Poinsettia Petals stamp set from the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog. I stamped the poinsettia with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored it with Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. The card base is Crumb Cake cardstock with a layer of Soft Suede cardstock. For the patterned paper, I used the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (also on sale this month!). Everything needs a little bling, so I added a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels.
