Start by choosing your favorite pack of Designer Series Paper.  All of the colors will work perfectly together to make a lot of cards!  Next choose one color of cardstock and an ink color.  These will match perfectly to the patterned paper because that is what Stampin’ Up! is so awesome at!  Choose any focal point for the front of the card!

I used the Filled with Happiness stamp set and the Modern Oval punch to create the focal point for each card.  You can keep it simple and just use one color to stamp the image.  Another option is to use Stampin’ Blends to color in the images (see photo below).
