This week on Ink and Inspirations, we are creating using one of my all-time favorite card sketches.

But first, what exactly is a card sketch?

A card sketch is a design or layout that serves as a starting point for your card-making projects. It’s like a blueprint that guides you in arranging your elements, ensuring a balanced and aesthetically pleasing result. Card sketches are especially handy when you need a spark of inspiration or a way to streamline your creative process.

In our latest video, I’ll show you how to take this sketch and transform it into a beautiful card using some of our favorite Stampin' Up! products.
