Hello Crafters! How are you? Today I thought I’d share how I get back my crafty mojo if I feel I’m a bit stuck! I think as crafters a lot of us have times when we feel less creative than others, so how do you get creative when you’ve lost your mojo? For me, I find that a card sketch always helps!! So what’s a card sketch? If you’ve not come across them before, card sketches are a bit like templates. They show you where to put all of the elements on your card so that you have the design there for you, and you just need to pull out the elements you want to add.
So in my video today I’ll show you how to put together these 5 cards (scroll down to see the final 2) using sketches. You can find my Pinterest board that contains over 300 pins for card sketches HERE if you want to have a go yourself, and you can also find the sketches I used with links to the websites below. Just click on the picture to take you to the website (please note that one of the websites no longer seems to exist so this doesn’t have a link).
The gorgeous papers that I used for this are the Dovecraft Premium Bee Happy Paper pack, the Dovecraft Neutrals paper pack and the Gold Glitter cardstock. I think they combine beautifully for this neutral colour palette.
To see the tutorial for all 5 of these cards and how I use the sketches to get over a loss of creative mojo, check out the video below. If you’d like to see the supply list you can find that by scrolling further.
Please note these cards are part of my design team work for DRK Crafts, so I was gifted the paper products I used.
