Simple Card Sketch Idea for Easy Cardmaking

For last night's Mystery Stamping, we made a super simple card that is easy to adapt to different stamp sets. I've created a card sketch for you as well so that you can see the basic layout of this easy card design. If you haven't joined me for Mystery Stamping yet, make plans to join me next Tuesday at 8:00 pm eastern on the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook page. You'll want to join the group early so that you can get the supply list on Monday evening. Don't worry, you don't need specific stamps or papers. You can use whatever you have on hand! So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Enjoy the Moment Card Idea

This first card sample with this basic card sketch uses the Enjoy the Moment stamp set. I simply stamped the image with Jet Black Stazon in and then colored in some shadow with a Gray Granite Stampin' Write marker. This is stamped on Sahara Sand cardstock and mounted on Basic Black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment on Basic White and cut it with the stitched Shape dies. I also added a little twine from the Playful Pets Combo Pack.

Easy Valentines card Idea

Instead of stamping on the front of this shimmery Valentine's Day card, I used the Love You Always Specialty patterned paper. This gorgeous paper comes in three colors - Blushing Bride, Rococo Rose, and Sahara Sand. This piece is the Blushing Bride. This beautiful paper has matching foil paper as well! I used the Blushing Bride foil paper to mount the patterned paper and cut the "love" sentiment with the Well Written dies.

Darling Donkey Card Design

I'm loving the Darling Donkeys stamp set! It's so adorable and it's FREE during Sale-A-Bration! For the background on this card, I embossed the cardstock with the Absolutely Argyle 3D embossing folder. I colored my adorable donkey with some Stampin' Blends and added a bit of white baker's twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack.

Pretty Perennials Card Design

My last sample card uses the Pretty Perennials stamp set. I love the big, bold flowers in this set! I've stamped them in Terracotta Tile ink on a piece of So Saffron cardstock. I added a strip for the sentiment and embossed the simple "for you" with white embossing powder. A double piece of linen thread adds a nice bow to finish the card.
