Freshly Made Sketches #721: Thank you Card

It’s been super cold here, but clear and sunny—just the kind of day that makes staying in the craft room feel extra cozy. 

Cute As A Bug Suite Collection and Fabulous Sayings Product of the Month Thank You Card

I recently purchased the Cute as a Bug Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up!, and I knew right away I wanted to feature the designer series paper in a card. While so many of the patterns are adorably cute, this particular sheet immediately reminded me of a peaceful walk through the woods—calm, earthy, and relaxing.



Using Freshly Made Sketches #721 as my starting point, I created this thank you card. As a new Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I’ve been finding card sketches especially helpful in designing cards and building confidence.

I used the following products to create this card:

  • Designer Series Paper from the Cute as a Bug Collection

  • Mossy Meadow cardstock

  • All in a Row embossing folder

  • Spotlight on Nature circle die

  • Die-cut flower from the Sweet Bugs Dies

  • Basic White cardstock (A2 card base)

  • Earthy Matte Dots

  • Sentiment stamps from Fabulous Sayings

This sketch was a great way to let the DSP shine while still adding texture and interest with embossing and die-cut elements.
