SU Samples

Okay, so on Saturday I made a start on some sample cards using my new rubber stamps, ink
pads and cardstock that I received in my Starter Kit from SU. I've been dying to have a play with them, just needed to find some time.
So, on Saturday I made the following cards using various SU products:

1) A simple girly card to give to someone for Valentines to show they're thought of:

Inside of card:


Recipe
Stamps:-
Occasionally (2008-09) - Set of 28 stamps. Available to buy in the current UK Idea Book & Catalogue 2008-2009 - P.18. I have used the heart stamp on the card front.
Sealed With A Kiss (2008-09) - Set of 6 - P.16. I have used one of the stamps inside the card and have stamped the circle with the heart again so that I could cut and apply on top of the original image to make it 3D.
SU Cardstock - Textured 12x12 Cardstock in Rose Red, Whisper White - P.68-69.
SU Cardstock - A4 Whisper White and Pretty in Pink - P68-69.
SU Ink Pad - Pretty in Pink - P.69.
SU Ribbon - 5/8" (1.59cm) Grosgrain Ribbon - Regal Rose - P.80.
Cuttlebug - Medium Flower Die.
Nestabilities
- Circle.

2) Next I made a birthday card appropriate to give to a male:
