If you’ve ever sat down to craft and thought “where do I even start?”… this is exactly where sketches come in 💡
Today’s card was created using Sketch #15 from The Stamping Lounge Sketch Box—and it’s the perfect example of how a simple layout can take all the guesswork out of designing.

Not only did I use this sketch to create the card, but this design was also part of the product photography for The Stamping Lounge Sketch Box… which means you can actually see the sketch and measurements alongside the finished project — see this at the bottom of this post for an idea of why The Stamping Lounge Sketch Box is a great crafting resource.

Why This Sketch Works

What I love about Sketch #15 is how beautifully it layers elements without feeling overwhelming.
You’ve Got…
– A strong background layer
– A focal circle element
– Layered panels for interest
– A defined space for your sentiment

It’s structured… but still gives you so much freedom to play with your supplies 🙌

All THE DETAILS

For this card, I combined elements from the Stampin’ Up! Fragrant Layers & Nature’s Symphony Bundles. Mixing and matching like this is such a great way to stretch your supplies and create something that feels totally unique ✨

I also added:
– Metallic accents + twine for extra detail
– Embossed background texture
– Layered die cuts
