Saturday Sketch

 

Here's a card I made using a sketch - such an easy way to get started using new products.  The Brushed With Beauty Designer Series Paper that I used on this card is a new Online Exclusive product.  The paper is so much prettier in real life.  I just love the subtle florals in this paper - perfect for any season and any occasion.

CLICK HERE to see the beautiful card I made for my daughter's wedding, using this Designer Paper.

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

Because there are so many layers on this card - I used 12x12 Two Tone card stock for the Mossy Meadow mats; this card stock is lighter weight and keeps the card from becoming too bulky.

Measurements for making this card (in inches):

• Basic Beige card base: 8-1/2 x 5-1/2; scored at 4-1/4  (I embossed the card front using the Beautiful Pattern 3D embossing folder.)
• Mossy Meadow card stock mat: 3-3/4 x 3-3/4
• DSP layer: 3-1/2 x 3-1/2
• Mossy Meadow card stock mat: 3x3
• DSP layer: 2-3/4 x 2-3/4
• Mossy Meadow card stock strip: 3-1/2 x 3/4 (snip ends)
• Label for sentiment is from the Traditional Labels dies

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

Basic Beige 8 1/2" X 11" Cardstock [164511] $14.00	Beautiful Pattern 3 D Embossing Folder [167097] $10.50	Mossy Meadow 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Two Tone Cardstock [166685] $10.00	Brushed With Beauty 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 Cm) Designer Series Paper [167082] $12.50
Traditional Labels Dies [165864] $29.00	Simply Said Mix & Match Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [163756] $17.00	Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin' Pad [147111] $9.00	Pearls Of Beauty [167098] $8.00

My Daughter's Wedding Day!

This is the card that I made for my daughter and new son-in-law for their wedding day today.  I used the new Brushed with Beauty Designer Series paper - which is one of the November 2025 online exclusives.

I wanted to make the card a little more special than my usual "Quick and Easy" cards, so I added layers to the card.  To keep it from getting too bulky - I used Mossy Meadow 2 Tone 12x12 card stock to mat the DSP and the Petal Pink embossed layer. 

I didn't have a current "wedding" stamp set - so I looked through my retired stamps - and found the perfect sentiment and coordinating die for the focal piece.  I heat embossed the sentiment using gold embossing powder.

I went through my dies and punches to find something to make the floral and greenery accents.  I am really happy with how it turned out.

Below is the inside of the card - I had to make that special, too.  The top floral piece is where we will add a check for their wedding gift.

This designer series paper is so much prettier in real life.  It is part of the Brushed With Beauty Suite Collection.

Stampin' Up! is offering a Virtual Class which features this suite.  You can learn more about it from clicking the Link below.

Brushed With Beauty Craft Class [170074] $30.00

6 Weeks Until Christmas - Quick and Easy cards

Christmas is six weeks from today - which means there is still time to make cards to send to your friends and family.  All of the cards I feature today were made using the Joyful Days Memories & More card pack.  There are 54 double sided cards in this pack; some are 3 x 4" and some are 4 x 6".  You get six of each design - so you can make multiples of the same design - or  you can make all of your card designs different!

The two cards below were made using the Memories and More cards layered on a card front - with the smaller card matted with the same card stock as the card base.  Super easy.  I trimmed the background card on the right to show more of the card base.  The card on the left has an added greeting from a retired stamp set.  

The cards below were inspired by a card sketch.  I cut one of the larger cards into smaller pieces and attached to the card base in opposite corners.  Then I die cut - or trimmed one of the cards to make the focal piece.  For the card on the left, I added ribbon behind the sentiment piece.  The card on the right has diagonal card stock strips as an accent.

I featured the cards below on an earlier "Saturday Sketch" blog post in Septemeber.  I used the Branching Out dies to add accent pieces to these cards.  You can see that post BY CLICKING HERE.

 

Here are some of the products I used to make my cards.  Unfortunately, the Memories and More cards are currently out of stock - but are due to be back later this month.  Because these cards are quick and easy - you will still have time to make these cards and get them in the mail before Christmas.  If you click on an unavailable item below - you can ask Stampin' Up! to send an email letting you know when it is available to order. 

Joyful Days Memories & More Card Pack [165822] $11.50	Real Red 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102482] $14.00	Cherry Cobbler 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [119685] $14.00
Gold Striped 3/8" (1 Cm) Mesh Ribbon [165599] $8.00	Basic White 8 1/2" X 11" Thick Cardstock [159229] $17.00	Old Olive 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [100702] $14.00
Garden Green 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [102584] $14.00	Gold Foil Sheets [132622] $5.00	Branching Out Dies [165775] $29.00
