Basic Card Layout - MCM Layout Oct 7, 2025

Happy Wednesday, Friends! I hope you're having a great week! I'm plugging along, trying to get caught up post-Extravaganza and birthday celebrations for mini-me, who turned 20 on Sunday (!!!). I was exhausted after the weekend so my MCM project HAD to be quick and easy. Nailed it! I turned to page 14 of the Sept-Dec 2025 mini catalogue for a card sketch layout to inspire me. This is what I came up with ....

REALLY quick and easy. Of course, as always, you can fancy it up or keep it clean and simple. This one uses the Beautiful Gallery paper and the sentiment is from our new All Inclusive Kit, Handmade & Heartfelt. It's a GREAT stamp set!

This one is the same layout, just a different position of the focal layer ...

For this one I used the Kintsugi paper and stamp set. I did use the designer paper for the top focal layer, as I found it too "busy". I added die cut images instead.

Wanna make a card with this layout? Here is the "recipe" of the pieces you need to prep ...

... and here is the Mystery Card Monday (MCM) Facebook Live replay, showing you how to cut the papers and put all the pieces together ...

So that's it for this week. If you would like to join me LIVE for my MCM (Mystery Card Monday) sessions, you can catch me on my FaceBook Page here at 7:00 pm Mountain Time every Monday ... or on my YouTube Channel here at the same time (I stream live to both). Like and Follow my FB Page and/or Subscribe to my YouTube Channel. I'd love to have you - the live community is AMAZING and so much fun!

If you live in Canada and would like to purchase any of the items I used for my cards, just click any of the pictures below and you will be taken to my Stampin' Up! online store. Thank you! I appreciate your support!

Stay amazing!
