Saturday Sketch ?!

All last year (2025) I tried to post a sketch card every Saturday - as part of a weekly challenge I am participating in with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators. I got behind a few times.........travel, a trip to the ER, my daughter's wedding, and life in generla sometimes got in the way.

I decided to play "catch up" last week - and for some reason I decided to post SIX cards that I made using sketches. (You can see them HERE.)

With being in a bit of a post holiday slump - I did not make a card for this week's challenge (yet!) so I don't have a sketch card to post today! But the card above is a quick and easy template for making a card using any supplies you already have in your stash!

Measurements for today's card:

Thick Basic White card stock base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2; scored at 4-1/4
Real Red card stock mat: 5-1/4 x 4
Flirtly Flamingo card stock (embossed): 5 x 3-3/4
Real Red Mat: 3-1/4 x 3-1/4
White DSP piece with image/greeting: 3 x 3

Tips for making this card:

Use Two-Tone card stock from Stampin' Up! for the Real Red layers, to reduce bulk and weight of the card

The Two-Tone card stock also allows some of the white core to show on the embossed layer - for a more textured look.

You could also omit the card stock and the card would still be beautiful

The red/white Baker's Twine is wrapped around the two card stock layers BEFORE adhering to the card front.

Use Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the square image/sentiment piece.
