Easy & Simple Card Sketch #85
This one simple Card Sketch & Moonlit Flora Suite = endless beautiful cards!
Have you ever sat down at your craft table with beautiful Designer Series Paper, coordinating cardstock, and a stamp set you love… only to wonder where to begin?
You’re not alone.
One of the biggest challenges I hear from card makers isn’t choosing products—it’s figuring out how to put everything together.
That’s exactly why I love card sketches.
A sketch takes away the stress of designing from scratch and gives you a simple roadmap to follow. Once you have the layout, your creativity can take over.
Today’s project features Card Sketch #85 paired with the gorgeous Moonlit Flora Suite from Stampin’ Up!®. The rich botanical Designer Series Paper, textured embossed panels, and elegant fern die cut create a card that’s sophisticated yet surprisingly easy to make.
One of my favorite things about this sketch is its versatility. By simply changing the paper, colors, or sentiment, you can create cards for birthdays, thank you notes, thinking of you, sympathy, congratulations, or almost any occasion.
That’s the beauty of a great sketch—it becomes a tool you can use again and again. Like this card with the Bloom Boutique Suite. Simply pull out your favorite designer paper and start creating! Make a beautiful and easy card today!
After more than 25 years of teaching card making, I’ve learned that confidence doesn’t come from buying more supplies. It comes from creating. Every card you make builds your confidence for the next one. Make sure to watch the video below on how to create this beautiful card!

Try This Challenge
Use Card Sketch #85 and create two cards:

You’ll be amazed at how different they look while using the exact same layout.

A Simpler Way to Join the Stampin’ Up! Family Begins July 1!
Starting July 1, 2026, Stampin’ Up! is making it easier than ever to become a demonstrator! The new join process is quicker, more flexible, and designed to give every new demonstrator a warm welcome into our creative community.
What’s New?
For just $100, you’ll receive:
- A $125 product coupon to spend on the products you want.
- 8 complimentary catalogs to share with friends and customers.
- A special Welcome Box (for first-time demonstrators only) filled with fun surprises, including exclusive Stampin’ Up! goodies, a card kit, and a personal welcome letter from CEO Sara Douglass.
Instead of choosing products during the join process, you’ll simply join first and then receive your coupon code to shop at your own pace. This makes joining faster and gives you the freedom to select exactly what you want.
Even More Good News
The updated process also includes:
- A faster, simpler sign-up experience.
- The ability to use your coupon on an order that exceeds $125 while still receiving your demonstrator discount.
- A shorter 45-day waiting period for anyone who chooses to rejoin in the future.
I’m especially excited about the new Welcome Box! While it’s a surprise for first-time demonstrators, it’s a wonderful way for Stampin’ Up! to welcome new members into our creative family.
If you’ve ever thought about joining for the discount, the community, or simply because you love creating beautiful handmade cards, this is a fantastic time to get started.
