Saturday Sketch #20


 Here is this week's "Saturday Sketch" card. I made this card using the Velvet Meadow 12" x 12" Specialty Paper - a beautiful pack of paper that features soft white flocking on some of the patterns.  The stamped greeting is from the Exciting TImes stamp set.


Below is the sketch that I used to make the card.  

Measurements for making this card (inches):
  • Thick Basic White card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
  • Berry Burst card stock layer: 2 x 5
  • Floral DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 4-1/2
  • Garden Green card stock strip: 3 x 3/4
  • Basic White piece for stamped greeting: 2-1/2 x 1
  • Garden Green die cut piece for accent (retired Paper Pumpkin die set)


Here are the card and sketch side by side.

Saturday Sketch #19


This card makes me happy happy happy! I really like the Beautiful Ordinary Designer Series paper from Stampin' Up!  And the sentiment from the Sincerely Noted ephemera pack makes this a quick and easy card.

Unfortunately, the embossing folder that I used on the Pool Party strip is no longer available.  But I thought the design matched the paper perfectly!  

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.


Measurements for making the card (inches):
  • Flirty Flamingo card stock: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
  • Patterned paper layer: 4 x 4-1/4 
  • Pool Party (embossed) strip: 4 x 1
  • Flirty Flamingo layer: 2-3/4 x 3-3/8

Saturday Sketch #18


Here is this week's "Saturday Sketch" card.  I like to use sketches when I have new products to use and I don't know what to make with them!  This card features the Beautiful Ordinary Designer Series Paper and the Sincerely Noted ephemera pack - both from Stampin' Up!

Below is the sketch that I used to make the card.  When I went to add the top square layer - I felt that it covered too much of the pretty paper.  So I just added a greeting from the Ephemera pack.  The colors of the pieces in the pack match the patterned paper nicely!
Measurements for making this card (inches):
  • Pretty Peacock card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
  • Larger DSP layer: 3-1/4 x 4-3/8
  • Pretty Peacock mat: 2-1/8 x 3-5/8
  • Blue dots DSP: 2 x 3-1/2
  • Ephemera piece for greeting

Saturday Sketch #17


Aren't these puppies the cutest?!  After seeing so many cards on Pinterest using this stamp set - an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE from Stampin' Up! - I just had to add this stamp set to my collection!  I used a piece of paper from the Paper Medley collection on this card: I thought it looked like denim.  I embossed the white layer with the Lazy Daisy 3d embossing folder - another Online Exclusive.  Be sure to check them out - there are a lot of hidden gems on the website that are not featured in any catalog.

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.  Instead of using an oval for the one layer - I used a retired punch.

Measurements for making the card (inches)

  • Misty Midnight card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
  • White (embossed) layer: 4 x 5-1/4
  • Blue "denim" DSP piece: 3 x 3
  • Misty Midnight strip: 4-1/4 x 1-1/4
  • Basic White scrap to stamp and die cut the puppies image
  • Punched or Die Cut piece for greeting

Saturday Sketch #16


For this week's sketch card, I used the Beautiful Ordinary Designer Series Paper from the May/August 2026 Stampin' Up! catalog.  This paper can be purchased alone - or with a coordinating sticker sheet.  It's also part of a SUITE COLLECTION,  AND there is a scrapbooking workshop kit which includes some of this DSP.  

For the sentiment and butterfly image - I used the Cutest Crew stamp set.

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.
Measurements to make this card (inches):

  • Daffodil Delight card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-14
  • Striped DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 3-3/4
  • Calypso Coral mat: 2-3/4 x 4-1/4
  • DSP layer: 2-1/2 x 4
  • Lost Lagoon mat: 2-3/4 x 3-1/2 
  • DSP layer: 2-1/2 x 3-1/4
  • Basic White Stylish Shapes Circle die for sentiment: approx 1-3/4

Here's the card and sketch side by side.  I changed the placement of the pieces - because I thought it looked better with the DSP I selected.


Here are some of the products I used to make my card.
