Saturday Sketch #9

Here's another sketch card for you to try - a quick and easy card that you can make using almost any pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP.)

I used the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which was  February's Product of the Month.  This paper is still available at the time I am writing this post - but it is only available while supplies last.

I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut out a section from a piece of the patterened paper.  Then I cut a slightly large mat to place behind the die cut piece. I adhered it to the card front using dimensionals, and then I place it so it is lined it up with the bottom piece.

Unfortunately, this die set is on the last chance list at the time I am writing this post - so they could be sold out by the time I post this.  If they are still available - they are a great set to have, and they are also discounted 20%.

For the sentiment piece, I used the Three Banner Punch, but I put the strip of white card stock into the punch from the back - and only punched one end at a time.  This allowed me to make a longer sentiment piece.

Below is the sketch and completed card.

 Measurements to make this card (inches):

• Pretty Peacock card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4 
• largest Designer Series Paper layer: 4 x 5-1/4
• Pretty Peacock card stock mat: 3-1/2 x 2
• smaller DSP layer: 3-1/4 x 1-3/4  (I used the Textured Notes dies, which are on the last chance list at the time of writing this post.)
• Basic White strip for sentiment: 1/2 x 3-1/2

This is another quick and easy card - I hope you will give it a try!

Here's a card that I made using a sketch, from a demonstrator training group that I'm in. I wanted to make some projects using the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which is  February's Product of the Month.  This paper is still available at the time I am writing this post - but it is only available while supplies last.

This paper has 4 double-sided patterns, and you get 3 of each design.  Great for making multiples of projects.  This is a bright, fun pack of paper.  Here are the papers you get in this pack.

Saturday Sketch #7

Here's another sketch card for you - a quick and easy card that you could make using almost any pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP.)

The greeting on this card is from the Fabulous Sayings stamp set, which was January's Product of the Month.  Unfortuately, this set is no longer available - but there are several other products you can purchase for just $5, when you place a $75 order from my ONLINE STORE.

See the available Products of the Month HERE.

I followed the sketch almost exactly as shown - but I did mat two of the DSP pieces to make them "pop" a bit more.  

Measurements for today's card (inches): 

• Petal Pink card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Secret Sea  DSP strip: 1 x 5
• Secret Sea mat: 3-5/8 x 3-1/8
• Bold Floral DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 3
• Secret Sea banner piece: 3-1/2 x 3/4; ends cut into a dovetail using scissors
• Secret Sea mat: 2-7/8 x 1-7/8
• Petal Pink DSP layer (for stamping sentiment): 2-3/4 x 1-3/4

*Note: for the Secret Sea mat layers, I used 12 x 12 two-tone card stock.  This card stock is a lighter weight than our regular 8-1/2 x 11 cards stock, which reduces the bulk/thickness of the finished card.

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

Petal Pink 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [146985] $14.00	Lovely Blossoms 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [167168] $12.50	Secret Sea 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Two Tone Cardstock [166709] $10.00
Moody Palette Glossy Dots [167180] $8.00	Stampin' Seal [152813] $8.00	Stampin' Dimensionals [104430] $4.25

Saturday Sketch #6

Here's a card that I made using a sketch, from a demonstrator training group that I'm in.  I used the Love Notes 6x6 Mix & Match Designer Series Paper, which is featured in the Stampin' Up! Jan/Apr 2026 mini catalog.  This was a fun pack of paper for making Valentine Cards - but like most double-sided paper, you could use it for other occassions, now that Valentine's Day is over.  (Or use the paper to scrapbook your Valentine's Day memories!)

As you can see, my card is almost exactly like the sketch.  When I first start "playing" with a pack of paper - or if I am in a creative slump - I find that using a sketch is a great way to get a card completed.

Measurements for today's card (inches): 

• Real Red card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
• Light Pink DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 5
• White layer (embossed): 4 x 2-3/4
• Thin DSP strip: 1/2 x 5-1/2
• The heart pieces were cut from the DSP and Real Red card stock using retired dies (sorry!)
• DSP with XOXO: Three Banner Punch

Here are some of the products I used to make my card: Product List

Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102482] $14.00	Love Notes 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Mix & Match Designer Series Paper [166985] $12.50	Brights 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 Cm) Designer Series Paper [165301] $12.50
Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [166780] $14.00	Hearts Of Love 3 D Embossing Folder [167071] $11.00	Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine [149653] $140.00
Three Banner Punch [167050] $26.00	Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad [147084] $9.00	Moody Palette Glossy Dots [167180] $8.00
