If you’ve ever stared at your supplies wondering where to even start, sketches are a total lifesaver. Think of it as a blueprint that gives you just enough structure to get going—while still leaving plenty of room for your own style and flair. I love seeing how one simple sketch turns into dozens of completely different creations.
Measurements:
- Very Vanilla Thick: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 (score at 4-1/4)
- Old Olive: 4 x 5-1/4
- Crushed Curry: 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
- Very Vanilla: 3/4 x 3
- Old Olive: scraps
- Cajun Craze: scraps
Of course I’m using Etched Autumn (166082 product of the month) as well as the Modern Oval punch (162234).

I’ve used tone-on-tone to make a background. Then I will then punch it out based on the sketch, keeping the pieces in order.


Optional: add some ink around the edges of each piece.
Dry fit the pieces onto your card front or layer, then adhere and trim off excess. Add a greeting and embellishments.
