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 47, which is showcased in our 2025 Stampin’ Up! January-April Mini-Catalog on page 12. (View our digital catalog here.)
To make this Just a Note card even easier to create, I used the pretty Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper and pulled the colors for my card from the paper. This created a clean and vivid color combination of Petunia Pop, Pretty Peacock, and Basic White . 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!

Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Fold the Petunia Pop cardstock in half at the 4-1/4″ score line to create your card base. Reopen the cardstock and run the front of the card through the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder. Reclose the card and burnish the fold well.
- Adhere the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White cardstock inside your card.
- Adhere the 3-1/4” x 3-1/4” piece of Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper to the 3-1/2” square of Pretty Peacock cardstock. Adhere to the front of the card, 1/2” down from the top of the card.
- Using the scraps of Unbounded Beauty Designer Paper, die-cut a 3/4” circle and a 1-1/4” circle using the Stylish Shapes Dies and the Cut & Emboss Machine. Adhere the 3/4” circle in the upper right corner using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
- Using the 2-1/2” square of Basic White cardstock, die-cut using the 2-1/8” Stylish Shapes Circle Die. Stamp the sentiment on the left side using Pretty Peacock ink. Adhere the 1-1/4” circle from the previous step to the right side and adhere both to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Finish by adding embellishments of choice as desired.
A Tip from Barb
This is a super simple card but I’m labeling it a Worker Bee card because of the embossed background and the circle dies, both of which require a Cut & Emboss Machine.
If you don’t have the Stylish Shape Dies or a Cut & Emboss Machine, you can replace these with a 3/4″, 1-1/4″, and 2″ Circle punch. Easy peasy!
