Happy Saturday my Stampin’ peeps! Do you want to know how I use a Sharpie to create a great card accent? I have a fun little technique to share with you and you’re going to love it because you probably already have the supplies you need to do it – a Sharpie Marker and a black pen. I created a simple little accent to my card today using those 2 pens and what a difference it makes! As a bonus, I have a Creative Juice sketch to go along with the card! Check it out below!
In today’s video I will share with you a simple version plus a stepped up version of the same card. So, for those of you who are just starting out and have simple supplies, I have a great card for you but if you have a little Baker’s Twine and some Stampin’ Dimensionals, you can add a little extra pizzazz to the card.
Are you ready to see how to use a Sharpie to create a great card accent video? Let’s go!

Ahhhhhhhmazing cute, simple card. Perfect for such a dreary day. Thanks bunches.
Thank you Susan! I’m so glad you liked the card!
Hi Connie,
Love, love, love this card. Although, you will want to make a correction on the 2 base cards. You have 2 3/4″ x 5″ but in the video you say 3 3/4″ x 5″, which seems to be the correct measurements.
Going to be making some of these today. These are just too cute. Thank you so much for sharing this card and all the other ones you share as well. Love your website!!!
Oops! Thanks for catching that Linda! You’re a doll!
You’re welcome. ?
I love this stamp set. I need a special thank you card and I just cased this. Thank you for all you share. I love your style. Happy Mother’s Day.
Oh I am so glad you liked it enough to make it yourself! Thank you Helen!
Ahhhh, I’m going to make this today, but I see the measurements are not quite right. Can you please reply with the correct measurements. Thanks so much.
Susan, what measurement do you feel is incorrect?
Thanks, Connie. Actually I have the correct measurements.
