FREE TUTORIAL & SNEAK PEEK! Garden Gatherings Bundle

Published 6 months ago • 5 min read

Hello Reader,

Today’s clean and simple card brings yesterday’s sketch to life with a fresh mix of bold contrast and soft detail. I’m sharing a sneak peek of the upcoming Garden Gatherings Bundle, paired with two of the NEW In Colors—Golden Glow and Hydrangea Hue—for a modern, eye-catching combination. Crisp layers, a touch of black for definition, and those delicate botanical images make this design feel both polished and playful. Best of all, everything you see here will be available starting May 5.

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.
