FREE TUTORIAL! Sneak Peek of the Simply Leaves Bundle!

Published 1 day ago • 5 min read

Hello Reader,

Today's card puts Newsletter Exclusive Sketch #156 to work with a fresh sneak peek from the July 1 Online Exclusive release. The NEW Simply Leaves Bundle pairs beautifully with the 2026–2028 In Color™ Gingham Gallery Designer Series Paper, creating a clean and cheerful design with plenty of texture and layering.

I love how the trio of leaves brings the sketch to life while the warm gingham pattern adds a cozy, timeless touch. It's a simple layout that's easy to recreate and customize with your favorite colors, sentiments, and seasonal themes. Be sure to grab the FREE tutorial below and add this versatile design to your collection.

YAY! ALL SKETCHBOOKS ARE NOW INTERACTIVE. You asked for it and I delivered! These sketchbooks are FREE resources that will make your card making easier!
