I was commissioned to make a silver anniversary card, so while I was doing that I cut out 2 lots of card stock so I could make use of the stamps and inks I had out.  This uses quite a few different stamps sets, some current some now unavailable.  

You may recognise the format from previous cards.  I find it so effective and simple to do, and with the range of colours that Stampin' Up! have it's easy to change the feel of a card by choosing a different palette.

Covered theses notebooks with Whisper White Cardstock that I had stamped.  Got a production line going as I found that I could cut 4 from an A4 piece of card, so I stamped the whole sheet then cut afterwards.

Another couple of cards.  I can see myself using this set for men's cards - especially with more nature inspired colours.

Recieved this from my Stampin Up mummy today, thank you Claire!

More from this beautiful set, this time using a slightly different colour palette.

I experimented by stamping onto the paper flower, before using the sponge daubers on it.  Used the Decorative label punch to create the label with the sentiment.

Bought this set a couple of weeks ago, I had seen it used so beautifully on other cards it had been on my wish list.  This card only remained in my possession a few days, as a friend bought it as soon as she saw it!  I'll have to make another one!

I masked off the central area with a sticky note and scored a square with my Fiskars paper trimmer using the score blade (available through Stampin Up).  The flower is one from the set of Paper Daisies, you get 40 in a packet of various sizes.  They are really easy to colour as the come plain white.
