Using bold floral paper, cheerful die-cut blooms, and a heartfelt sentiment, this card instantly brightens the day. Take the Easy Creative Card Sketch Challenge and create a card! I love how the vertical panels make designer paper pop while the circle focal point gives just the right spot for a greeting. Whether you’re crafting for a friend or just need a little art therapy, this sketch delivers!
Looking for a fresh layout to jumpstart your next card making session? Say hello to Card Sketch #37 – Volume 2! This clean and versatile sketch is the perfect way to show off your favorite patterned papers — and trust me, it’s a go-to when you want quick results with a beautiful WOW factor. Take a look at this cheerful card made using the sketch.
The Card Sketch Breakdown
Here’s what the layout looks like:

- Five vertical panels make up the background — a perfect way to mix and match designer series paper (DSP).
- A large circle adds a focal point for a stamped sentiment or image.
- A horizontal banner gives a great layered look or accent strip.
- Embellish as much or as little as you like with die cuts, ribbon, or bling!
