5 Minute Thank You Card Using Card Sketch 1
Short on time but love to craft? Make this 5 Minute Thank You Card using Card Sketch 1. If you’re anything like me, your days are packed but your love for crafting never wanes, so let’s make this quick & easy handmade greeting card!
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 thank you cards that look anything but rushed. This card uses Card Sketch 1, which is showcased in our Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog on page 22. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Thank You card even easier to create, I went with a Monocromatic scheme, featuring the color buddies Petunia Pop and Berry Burst. These colors pair beautifully together and by going with a Basic White accent, created a clean and elegant design.
Using the Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper made it even easier to add design and color without any extra work. The gentle floral images added to the elegance of the card and then I just finished it out with a sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set.
