All you need to do is pick a sketch and a set of products and then start playing with them. It\u00a0 seems like the creative process begins to flow with ease.\u00a0 I use card sketches to use my precious Designer Series Paper and to encourage other cardmakers in designing cards. Card sketches also help me design\u00a0 cards so much faster.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please let me encourage you to start using sketches. You will realize that these are like maps that give you a visual idea of how the elements will work in the card. You would just need to substitute each of these elements with your crafting supplies.\u00a0 Which is what I will share below.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Use an Sketch for Card Making?<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select an easy sketch, the less elements the better it is, as it gives you more possibilities.
