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 handmade cards that look anything but rushed.
Today, I’m thrilled to share a perfect solution for busy women who want to infuse a bit of creativity into their hectic schedules. This card uses Card Sketch 46, which is showcased in our 2025 Stampin’ Up! January-April Mini-Catalog on page 12. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Just A Note card even easier to create, I used the beautiful Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper and pulled the colors for the card straight from the paper. This created a clean and vivid color combination of Basic Gray, Mossy Meadow, and Night of Navy – perfect for a masculine card. If you’d like a softer color combination, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library, where you’re sure to find a color palette you’ll love!

A Tip from Barb
This is a fun card sketch that can be altered in many different ways. Your Designer Paper will need to have a “focal point” image which can be anything from flowers to the plane used in this design. If your focal image is smaller, simply decrease the size of the paper you cut and mount it on a 1/8″ larger coordinating cardstock mat. Easy Peasy!
