For this weeks card sketch, you can make this vertical or horizontal. Find any stamp or die cut to put in the rectangles, or move the focal point from one side or the other. Have fun, and get crafting! I went with the Silly Old Bear DSP to make this fun card. I love Pooh, and he is always stealing my heart! What goes better with Pooh, than his honey pot. The cute stamped bees are leading the way. Stamp Bundle used is Sweet Old Friends 100 Acre Woods embossing folder makes a g

Here is a card I created using this sketch as a jumping off point, to make this adorable Pooh card. I used the above measurements, and Silly Old Bear Designer Paper. #167616. I also used the Word Labels to cut out the image from DSP.

Here is another take on this weeks card sketch. Incase you missed it, you can find the sketch here: https://www.stampwithkimberly.com/post/card-sketch-13 For this card I added an extra layer under the DSP that is 5" x 3-3/4" I used the Toadstool Bundle that is on Last Chance right now. It has a coordinating punch in this Bundle, and is a lot of fun to create fast projects with.

Details: *Base- 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Score at 4-1/4 *DSP-4-1/2" x 3-1/4" Cut in half (portrait) at 1-5/8" *Flip and cut 1-5/8" off each piece. For this card I used the card sketch, then I brought in Capturing Smiles as a focal point. There are so many ways that you can use this sketch. What will you make with it?

Give this weeks sketch a try. I will post a few sample of what I made. You can go so many different directions with this one. -Use the same side of the DSP -Flip 2 pieces of DSP over to mix patterns -Put a cardstock layer behind DSP -Flip card horizontal

For this card sketch I stuck with the basic design on the sketch, but I did a little technique, blending the Irresistibly Yours Designer Specialty Paper with blending brushes to give it that WOW! If you have never used this fun paper before, look for it to become available again, and grab some! I went with patriotic colors since July is creeping up on us. The details on the starts make these so fun to work with. This card can be used for any Celebration! Graduation, July 4th,

It starts with a sketch, and ends with a beautiful design that would be perfect for a masculine card. I love the earthy colors, and feel to this one. The sprigs are carefree, and add the right amount for a focal point. The Designer paper has texture, and character. I added vellum to one of the cards to make it a little lighter. The strips being slanted adds interest I think. I hope you like this one. To see the original sketch visit here: Gallery To see how this one comes to

The ants go marching one by one hurrah hurrah.... Come on, you know you were signing along! :) These cute little bugs haven't been showcased enough, so I thought it was time to bring them out! What is cuter than marching ants! I kept this one simple by fussy cutting the Designer paper, to get all my images. I love both sentiments, Sending my love, and I'm here for you. Who wouldn't want that reminder! And I think the cute bugs will put a smile on their face also. To see the s

This week's card sketch is proof that you don't need a complicated design to create something beautiful! The sketch features a standard A2 card base with a single focal layer and a simple banner element. The banner can be used for a sentiment, a decorative accent, or both. That makes this sketch incredibly versatile. Sketches provide a starting point while still leaving room for creativity. Whether you prefer clean and simple cards or enjoy adding extra layers and embellishme

This card sketch is #3 in my series. This card sketch can be transformed by adding a base that is 5" x 3-3/4". You can also use cardstock in place of the Designer paper. For this card I turned it into a Birthday card using Easter Joy Designer paper. I love the shine on this paper. I used a Lost Lagoon cord under the sentiment to add a little texture.

Today on Motivation Monday, I showed a card sketch that can easily be adapted to create any theme that you need. This card features Nature's Symphony Bundle. The sprigs in this Bundle steal the show, and create a great focal point. Surprisingly the DSP on this card is the flip side of Easter Joy. Who would have thought that Easter paper could be transformed to make this neutral earthy card. https://youtu.be/hJXYBZf1UcY 1.Base- 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Score at 4-1/4" 2. Early Espresso

Today on Motivation Monday, I showed three very different cards, all using the same card sketch. The first was a Birthday card, the second was a Easter card, and the third was a feel good "you make me smile card."
