SAVVY TIP: Ever make a small ink mistake after your card is complete? Sigh… me, too!
Here’s a simple way to hide it: Using the brush tip of a marker [shown: Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends], tap it hard against a finger while holding it over the card front to create the ink splatter shown on the card above. This is an effective method when placing an embellishment over the mistake isn’t a good option. I dare you to find my mistake now!

NEW CARD DESIGN:
SAVVY SKETCH 157 TUTORIAL
{Measurements Width x Length}
- CARDSTOCK: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score and fold on long side at 5-1/2″ to create a top-folding A2 Card Base
- DESIGNER [PATTERN] PAPER: 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
- Choose double-sided paper with coordinating patterns on both sides
- Fold forward at an angle; trim excess on right
- Temporarily position on card front, lightly pencil the top diagonal line so you know where to stamp
- Choose a single line, horizontal sentiment; stamp above line, centered left to right. Erase pencil line after ink has dried.
- Adhere to card front; place a Stampin’ Dimensional under the fold at the bottom angle and along the right side (by overhang you cut off)
- EMBELLISH: Add three gems, dots or other decoration…. this takes the design from simple to savvulous. All done… in mere minutes!
BONUS INSPIRATION – Card #2
Here’s a second idea for a masculine card…
STEP IT UP …SIMPLY!
- Choose embellishments that stand out, like these Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds, ideal for challenging masculine cards.
- Customize a matching envelope: Cut designer paper 6″ x 2-1/4″; adhere to flap of Medium Envelope and trim with Paper Snips.
