5 Minute Thank You Card Using Card Sketch 36
Pressed for time but still itching to craft? Dive into our 5 Minute Thank You Card using Card Sketch 36. If your days are anything like mine—jam-packed from sunrise to sunset—but your passion for crafting remains undimmed, I’ve got just the thing for you. I’m excited to guide you through crafting speedy yet stunning handmade cards that appear meticulously made. Ready to sprinkle some creative magic into your busy day? Let’s get started!
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 1 which is showcased in our Stampin’ Up! 2025 January-April Occasions Mini-Catalog on page 12. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Thank You card even easier to create, I used the fun Friends of the Ocean Designer Paper and pulled the colors for my card from the paper. This created a clean and whimsical design that perfectly complemented the Card Sketch. Want a different color combination? No worries, 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 Color Buddies from the paper, but if that doesn’t work, simply use White cardstock for the sentiment strip and change the ink color to another color pulled from the paper!
