Today I’m sharing two simple cards using My Simple Sketch #10 — a layout that makes cardmaking feel easy and stress-free.

I’ll walk you through the sketch, cutting guide, and stamping process, along with two finished card ideas you can recreate.


My Simple Sketch layouts are designed to take the guesswork out of cardmaking. With clear measurements and simple layers, you can mix and match your favorite papers and stamps to create beautiful cards again and again.


I create both cards in real time, sharing the process as I go. You’ll see how the layout comes together and how small adjustments can help when things don’t go exactly as planned.


Let’s start with My Simple Sketch #10 and the cutting guide.

Here are the supplies I used for these cards.

If you’d like to recreate this layout, you’ll find everything linked below.

I hope this inspires you to try My Simple Sketch #10 with your own favorite papers and stamps. Simple layouts like this make it easy to sit down and create something beautiful without overthinking.

Happy Stamping!

Hugs, Cara

 
 


Today I’m sharing the simple measurements I use to create layered handmade cards. These are the exact sizes I use in all of my My Simple Sketch card layouts.

Starting with a standard 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock, you can quickly cut your pieces so they are ready to use for multiple cards.

Watch the video below to see how I prep my cardstock and create simple layering templates.





These simple layers create a balanced card design and make it easy to mix and match your papers and stamps. You’ll see these measurements used again and again in my My Simple Sketch tutorials. Download your own guide to help you create your set. Happy Stamping! Hugs, Cara




 
 





















Today I’m sharing how to cut and score a standard A2 card base.

This is the foundation for all of my My Simple Sketch card layouts.


You’ll see me use this in all of my Simple Sketch tutorials.

  • Cut 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock to 5 ½” x 8 ½”

  • Score at 4 1/4"

  • Fold to create your A2 card base



Here are the supplies I recommend:


 
 

I’ll send you new tutorials and ideas as I share them on the blog.
