This week’s card was sparked by a sketch from stampin’pretty.com, and I couldn’t resist pairing it with the rich tones of Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper. I added a layered circle element to frame the sentiment from the September Paper Pumpkin kit: “Wishing you the happiest of days.”
Sketches are one of my favorite tools—especially when I’m short on time or looking for a fresh layout idea. They’re perfect for beginners who want a little structure, and just as helpful for seasoned crafters who love a creative jumpstart.
I hope this inspires you to try a sketch this weekend! And if you do, I’d love to see what you create. Feel free to share or tag me—I’m always cheering you on.

This is the card I was inspired to make.
