Short on time but love to craft? Make this 5 Minute Thank You Card using Card Sketch 17. If you’re anything like me, your days are packed but your love for crafting never wanes. 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 17, 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 used the fabulous Take To The Sky Designer Paper and pulled the colors for my card from the paper. This created a clean and elegant design, perfect for a masculine card, although it would work for any gender. If you prefer a softer combination, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library for more ideas.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Gray Granite Cardstock in half at the scoreline to create your card base.
- Adhere the 4” x 5-1/4” piece of Basic White cardstock inside the card.
- Adhere the 3 pieces of 1” x 4-3/4” plaid Take To The Sky Designer paper. Tip: adhere the first strip in the center of the card front, then adhere the 2 other strips on either side of that first strip.
- Using the 2-3/4” x 3-1/2” airplane Take To The Sky Designer Paper, stamp the sentiment in any of the white space using Misty Moonlight ink.
- Adhere the stamped paper onto the center of the card using adhesive to finish.
A Tip from Barb
This is a fun card sketch that can be altered in many different ways. If the Designer Paper you’re using doesn’t have a “neutral” pattern where you can put your sentiment, simply add a sentiment tag. This design works best if you can pull the colors from your paper so that your focal point (in this case the airplane paper) really pops!
