I love a good shortcut, and one of the ways I've found to shortcut my design process is by using card sketches. And I get especially excited when I come up with a card sketch that I can use again and again for any season or occasion! 

Such is the case with the sketch I'm sharing today! You don't need any special tools to make this sketch and you can use it over and over. I've specifically designed this card sketch for using patterned papers as they are the star of the show with just a few extra die cuts needed to complete a card. 

Here's three easy card ideas using the above card sketch.

• Emerald Meadows by 1Canoe2 (sold out) - use SWEET THOUGHTS instead
