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 #12, 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 gorgeous Nests of Winter Designer Paper and pulled the colors for my card from the paper. This created a clean and elegant design, with a pop of Early Espresso ink for the sentiment. If you prefer a softer or brighter design, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library.

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, just leave it off. This design works best if you can use two complimentary colors from the paper, but if that doesn’t work, simply use neutral cardstock and change the ink color to another color pulled from the paper!
