I used one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 Very Vanilla cardstock as my base. The stamp set I used is called True Friend. The ink colors I used throughout were inspired by the color palette from the new Ginger Blossom Designer Series Paper in the new catty: ruby red, cameo coral, river rock.
Here I stamped the leaves in river rock randomly all over the cardstock. (It's okay to stamp off the page.)
Then, I stamped the large flower design randomly in Cameo Coral ink:
Here I took a random shot of all the supplies I used. This is my first time doing a picture tutorial so I sort of forgot to take a pic of this step first. Thus, you see my half stamped page with all my supplies piled on top. I don't have the full size pads for some colors so I used ink spots and my stampin' write markers also.
Then, I stamped the smaller flower medallion in ruby red randomly on the cardstock as well.
I then cut up the patterned cardstock I just stamped and layered it onto ruby red, chocolate chip, and river rock cardstock to create 7 different cards and a little family photo album. I added a few more embellishments (ribbon, brads, punches) and stamped images from the stamp set as well as some word stamps to make the cards more specific. Don't forget you can click on the picture to make it larger.
I cut my pieces pretty big but if I had cut them a little smaller, I could probably use them to make more cards. If anyone wants directions to these, feel free to email me and I will get them out to you! This was really super fun and a great way to make a set of coordinating cards quickly.
