Quick Handmade Card Idea using a Card Template

images copyright 1990-2024 Stampin' Up!®

Need to make some quick cards? Maybe you want to try out some new stamp sets? This card template is perfect for creating quick and easy handmade cards. And I love using card sketches with new stamp sets because it's a great way to try out the stamps without getting hung up on the card layout.

These sample card designs use the NEW Sweet Peas, Market Goodness, and Happiest Day stamp sets from Stampin' Up!®️ I used the simple card sketch that you'll find below as the basic layout for each card.

Want the free printable project sheet for this card template? It will be in my Wednesday email tomorrow. You can get on my email list here. I have more photos and the complete supply lists below. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

I absolutely LOVE the sentiment on this card! What a great way to let someone know just how much they mean to you and how they lift you up. I mean, nothing sparkles more than glitter in the sun, right?

Simple Handmade Thank You Card

Here's a simple handmade thank you card idea using the NEW Market Goodness stamp set with the To Market patterned paper from Stampin' Up!

I changed up the card design a little for this sample card by adding a layer of cardstock to the front. I embossed the Peach Pie cardstock with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.
