10/11/2022

3 Quick and easy handmade card ideas using a card sketch and patterned paper. This card sketch is perfect for making cards for all occasions: birthdays, thank yous, Christmas, and more!

Y'all know that I love card sketches! They just make it so easy to make cards quickly and easily. For this week's Mystery Stamping event, I used a simple card sketch as the basis. If you missed Mystery Stamping, you can watch the replay to see the step-by-step directions for putting this card together. I do Mystery Stamping on the third Tuesday night of every month at 8pm Eastern. I hope you'll join me next month!

I've got the card sketch, cutting dimensions, a FREE downloadable Quick-Reference Guide, and supply lists for all of these cards below. Plus, information on how you can get your hands on the not-yet-released Framed Florets bundle. Be sure to click the read more button so that you don't miss a thing!

If you make one of these cards, I'd love to see it! Over in my Facebook group, I posted this same photo of my cards from tonight's Mystery Stamping event. Hop on over there and share your card in the comments and check out the cards that other people made too!

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

The Card Sketch

Here is the card sketch. Imagine all of the different cards you could make with this basic design layout!

Dimensions:

Cardstock: 8 ½” x 5 ½”
Coordinating Cardstock: 4” x 2”
Patterned Paper: (3) 3 ¾” x ½”
White or vanilla cardstock: 3 ¾” x 1 ¾”
White or vanilla cardstock: 5 ¼” x 4”

That's it! It's a great way to use little scraps of patterned paper too! You can use the same pattern for all three strips or mix and match them. There are so many possibilities!
