FREE TUTORIAL! Golden Glow Meets Exciting Times!

Published 6 months ago • 5 min read

Hello Reader,

Bold contrast, elegant layers, and beautiful butterfly detail come together in today’s clean and simple card based on yesterday’s sketch! The NEW Golden Glow Cardstock adds a warm, modern touch against the striking black accents, while the delicate Floral Flight Accents create gorgeous dimension and movement. Today’s project also includes a Newsletter Exclusive FREE Tutorial so you can recreate this design with ease using some of the newest Stampin’ Up! products now available!

GUARANTEED TO MAKE CARD MAKING EASIER!

ALL FOUR SKETCHBOOKS ARE FREE! You can click directly on any sketch image in Sketchbooks 1-4 to instantly open a coordinating card tutorial based on that sketch. Each tutorial includes card dimensions, step-by-step instructions, photos, tips, and product details to help you create a hand crafted card with confidence.

NEW! NEW! NEW! You asked and I listened! NOW All four sketchbooks have layers and sizing guides. I’ve recently added Layers & Sizing Guides for Sketchbook #1 and Sketchbook #2—guides are an essential companion when you’re ready to turn a favorite sketch into a card.
