Here is another set of cards I made using the same card sketch. They look so different because of the colors, DSP, and stamp sets used, but the simple sketch is the same. Use this sketch with your favorite stamp sets, colors, and DSP to make the cards your own, or feel free to CASE (Copy And Share Everything) them if you wish. One of the fun things I like about creating off of a card sketch is that once I make one card, I find myself looking at other stamp sets and wondering what it would look like using the sketch. If you missed the live presentation, you can watch the replay here.
The basic card sketch is below. It’s made on the average A-2 size card front (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″). Use DSP or embossed cardstock for your first layer. Add your focal point of either a stamped image, die cut or greeting. Add any complimentary embellishments as desired.
I’ve included the complete supply list of all of the products I used to create these cards if you want to re-create them.
Here are the basic measurements for this sketch:
- Card Base: 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″
- First Layer: DSP or Embossed Cardstock – 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Vertical Strips: 3″ x 1″, cut two of coordinating DSP
- Horizontal Strip: Coordinating DSP 4″ x 1/2″ OR 4″ x 3/4″
- Focal Point: Stamped Images or Die Cuts as desired
- Inside: Basic White 5 1/4″ x 4″
- Optional Decorative Strips for Inside: Cardstock or DSP 4″ X 5/8″ AND 4″ X 1/2″
The front of this card opens in the center to reveal a great fun-fold card with lots of DSP to decorate it.
Here is the diagram of how to score and cut a 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock to create the fun-fold base. If you have difficulty understanding this, I explained it on the video.
