Sketch Night #1 | Card Sketch Replay + FREE Tutorial

11 Jan
Use one simple card sketch to create two different handmade cards using supplies from your stash. Includes a free PDF sketch tutorial and replay for easy, stress-free cardmaking inspiration. via @denise34

If you’ve been hanging around here for any length of time, you already know this about me…
sketches are my favourite.

They are hands-down my favourite way to get crafty, especially on days when creativity feels a little quiet or decision fatigue is real. A good sketch takes away the overwhelm, gives you a starting point, and still leaves so much room to make it your own — which is exactly why Sketch Night will always have my heart 🩷

This week’s Sketch Night was all about keeping things simple, flexible, and fun. One sketch, a few supplies pulled from my stash, and a reminder that you do not need “the latest and greatest” to make something beautiful.

Watch & Create With Me

Whether you craft along in real time or watch the replay with a cup of coffee later, this one is packed with ideas you can use again and again. I shared tips for:

  • Stretching one sketch into multiple card designs
  • Swapping stamps, dies, or patterned paper you already own
  • Letting the sketch guide you without boxing you in

Sketches really are the best kind of creative nudge — supportive, never bossy 😉

Here’s the part I know you love…

Inside the tutorial you’ll find:

  • The featured card sketch
  • Measurements to make it easy to recreate
  • Finished card inspiration to spark ideas
  • A sketch you can save, print, and reuse anytime

This is one of those sketches you’ll come back to again and again — trust me.

A Little Creative Encouragement

If you ever find yourself staring at your craft table thinking “I want to create, but I don’t know where to start” — start with a sketch.
No pressure. No perfection. Just a solid starting point and the freedom to play.

That’s why Sketch Night exists. Cozy creativity, real inspiration, and permission to craft with what you have — always 💕

    Watched your replay and love the Sketch plan. My favorite is actually the Pear set and the colors are perfect and thank you for sharing your cards.
