My first Card-io Stamp Card

I had bought a Cardio Stamps acrylic tube and some stamps at a Ross PaperCraft Show last year but felt that I didn't have the right accompanying stamps to use them, ie things to put the flowers in.

Anyway a couple of weeks ago, while watching Create and Craft they had a deal on with 45 stamps for £35, which included a set of stamping with vases and a watering can which I couldn't resist.

This morning I was mulling over what I could use to make a card for my daughter and son-in-law who are moving this weekend and I thought I would get them out for a play.

I am really pleased with my first attempt with them, it was so quick an easy I know them will become a go to when I want to make something pretty quick.
