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 handmade cards that look anything but rushed. This card uses Card Sketch 10, which is showcased in our Stampin’ Up! 2024-2025 Annual Catalog on page 22. (View our digital catalog here.)
I went way outside the box for this card and used the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper. This Specialty Paper has three sheets of double-sided designs with floral and greenery designs on one side and all-purpose patterns on the other.
But what makes it special is that it also has three sheets of die-cut greenery elements that you can use on card fronts or to frame photos on scrapbook pages. As a fun plus, some of the die-cuts are sized to fit card fronts, making it easy to create quick, beautiful cards. This paper is a must for card makers and scrapbookers!
For those of you with a keen eye, you might also notice the Garden Green Linen Thread used on this card. This is a Sneak Peek of a new product coming out in September – Natural Tones Linen Thread! It comes in 3 colors and I thought the Garden Green was perfect for this card!
For this card sketch, any element in the top center of the card will work. This is cardmaking simplicity at it’s best! Let me show you how easy it is to make this card!
