If you are looking for simply stamping designs anyone can create in a flash, you have come to the right place.  Card sketches make simple stamping quick and easy.   Have you ever tried using card sketches to create your cards?  If not, give it a try.

When I am having a creative block, I turn to card sketches to kick my creativity back in action.  Card sketches can make simple stamping cards in no time with supplies you already have on hand.

So, I think now is a great time to kick off my new series of card sketches.

My advice to you would be to grab a 3-ring binder and some page protectors and start printing my card sketches, in no time you’ll have an endless supply of sketches to keep your creativity flowing.

So, let’s look at my take on the sketch.  Simple stamping designs come from sketches which can be quick and simple or just a starting point to get your creativity flowing.  I chose the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper to create my card.  All I did was add some of the printed paper to my card front and then added the little die cut image, also from the paper pack.

For the sentiment I pulled out my Trusty Tools stamp set; to get the Happy Father’s Day sentiment, you could also make this a birthday card.  I also added another die cut element to the sentiment piece.  Like I said, use the sketch to get you started and the finishing touches will start to flow.

For my second take on the sketch, I chose to tighten up my layering mats and have a larger border of the card base showing. The sketch is pretty much the same it is just tightened up, giving it a bit of a different look than the first card, even though I used the same sketch. Simple stamping designs begin with simple card sketches and that’s what I am hoping to share with you each week here at The Stamp Camp. Join me every Wednesday for a new card sketch and some inspiration.

I would love to hear your thoughts on card sketches. Is this something you are interested in? Do you use sketches to kickstart your card making? I think once you get started on sketches, you’ll find you will love them too. Do you ever look at a sketch and think I know just what papers; stamp sets and accessories I’m going to use? I think if you give card sketches a try you will find that they can elevate your card making to a whole new level in a short amount of time.
