Hey guys! Welcome back to our Spring Paper Sampler & Sketch Series! Today’s project features the brand new Short Cut Card Sketch #25 and a cheerful birthday card made with one of my favorite bundles from the January–April catalog.

If you’re crafting along with us, this card uses paper, ribbon, and embellishments from the January–April Paper Sampler, paired with the absolutely adorable Sweet Bugs Bundle.

About the Spring Paper Sampler & Sketch Series

Customers who purchased a January – April Catalog Paper Sampler with Sketches and added on the Online Exclusive Paper Sampler received a FREE class packet to craft along with this card series.

Class packets are not available for individual purchase – it was my FREE gift to our Paper Sampler people.

Why We Love Short Cut Card Sketches

Short Cut Card Sketches are designed to:

  • Help you use patterned paper more intentionally
  • Speed up your cardmaking
  • Give you a clear starting point without limiting creativity

They are not rigid. Add layers, remove layers, rotate the sketch, mirror it make it your own. Each sketch naturally evolves as you craft.

We currently have 25 FREE public sketches available, and by the end of this series, we’ll have 26 FREE Short Cut Card Sketches ready for you to download.

Want All the Sketches in One Place?

You can grab the compiled Short Cut Card Sketch PDF for $4.99.

That file includes:

  • A printable binder cover
  • All sketches 1–26 in one handy PDF
    It’s a great way to support the blog and stay inspired every time you sit down to craft

About Today’s Card

We’re using patterned paper from the Square Snippets Designer Series Paper and pairing it with the adorable Sweet Bugs Bundle, which will be featured in March Card Club.

When you purchase the stamps and dies together as a bundle, you save 10% and they are so cute. Ants, bees, sweet little caterpillars, and beetles – perfect for playful cards.
