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 Holiday Card Sketch 11, which is showcased in our Stampin’ Up! 2024 Holiday Mini-Catalog on page 16. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Thank You card even easier to create, I used the pretty A Little Bit Festive Designer Paper to create this simple, yet elegant, Night of Navy monochromatic card. Monochromatic cards are some of my favorites, because not only are they easy to design and create, they are very pleasing to the eye. You can see other Monochromatic Cards I’ve designed here.

A Tip from Barb
If you’re using a Designer Paper that is specifically directional (such as the plaid I used, it’s actually easier to first cut your paper to 3″ x 2-1/2″ and then cut that 3″ side into three 1″ pieces. It’s easy but really makes a different on your finished design!
