Today, I’m thrilled to share a perfect solution for busy women who want to infuse a bit of creativity into their hectic schedules. I’ll show you how to whip up quick and elegant handmade cards that look anything but rushed. This card uses Card Sketch 16, which is showcased in our Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog on page 22. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Happy Birthday card even easier to create, I used the gorgeous Perennial Lavender Designer Paper and pulled the colors for my card from the paper. This created a clean and elegant design that could be easily changed for any color combination you’d like. Make sure you check out my Color Combination Library for more colorful ideas.
