Short on time but love to craft? Make this 5 Minute Birthday Card using Card Sketch 44. 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 16, which is showcased in our 2025 Stampin’ Up! January-April Mini-Catalog on page 12. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Birthday 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 vivid, yet clean, color combination of Smoky Slate, Misty Moonlight, and Melon Mambo. If you’d like a softer color combination, make sure you check out my Color Combination Library, where you’re sure to find a color palette you’ll love!
