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

Love & Happiness

I made these cards using the Love & Happiness stamp set. This was one of the first sets I inked up from the January/June catalog. It has a coordinating die set/embossing folder that intrigued me. The die works with the embossing folder to cut and emboss at the same time! This bundle did not carry over to the new annual catalog - so I wanted to point it out - so you don't miss out on it.

Below is a short video that I made, showing each of the cards and pointing out some details about each card:

(If you are viewing this in your email or on a mobile device - you may need to click on the blog title to load the video.)

This is a great set with a lot of greetings for weddings, anniversaries, and even engagements! I made the first card below for my sister's 40th Wedding Anniversary. The traditonal gift for this milestone anniversary is ruby - so I used red foil paper (retired) as accents on this card.
