Amy's Card Sketch #103: Elegant Layers

One of my favorite things about a good card sketch is how easily it can be adapted to fit any occasion, and Amy's Card Sketch #103 is a perfect example!

I featured this layout during Stamp Together Saturday, Episode 325, where we created this elegant floral thank-you card using two angled pieces of Designer Series Paper, a large focal die cut, and a simple sentiment strip. The layered design creates lots of visual interest, yet it's surprisingly quick to assemble.

I go LIVE on Facebook every Saturday at 9:30 a.m. Central for Stamp Together Saturday, where I share a simple card that you can easily recreate with whatever papers, stamps, and embellishments you have on hand. My goal is to inspire you with layouts that are versatile, approachable, and fun to make—whether you're crafting along with me or using the sketch later from your own craft room.

This week's project showcases how a beautiful Designer Series Paper can do much of the work for you. Change the papers, swap the focal image for your favorite stamp or die, and you'll have a completely different look while using the very same sketch. That's the beauty of card sketches—they're a starting point for endless creativity. After I made the one for Episode 325, for example, I couldn't stop there! I made this gorgeous one using the brand new Sweetly Sentimental stamp set from our Stampin' Hot Foil line of products.

I hope Sketch #103 inspires you to pull out your favorite papers and make it your own!

Happy stamping!

Amy
