UPCYCLING with Stampin' Up

I recently got an order with one of the new incentive stamp sets from the second SaleABration release.  It is called All Adorned.  This is the stamp set:

This stamp set became available to Stampin' Up customers on February 15th and is available until March 31st, 2019.  It is a Level One award, free with any $50 purchase.

Wanting to play with my new toy, but not having a lot of time, I spied a Stuart Hall "Thank You" card set that I received for free with an order from Creative Images.  This is what the plain cards looked like:

I took out four shades of Stampin' Up ink pads (balmy blue, mint macaron, pool party, blueberry bushel) and went to town.  I tried to use an acrylic block but kept getting stray lines.  Using a stamp platform, I got no stray lines but had to rotate the cards and that worked fine.  I could've just used a smaller, more appropriately sized block but did not want to go dig one out since I was crafting at the kitchen table and not in the office.  To me, it was just as important to ensure that I got some play time in instead of being Uber-efficient during my playtime.   Just goes to show that there IS more than one way to accomplish a task.

Those are all the cards that were successfully stamped.  Then I took the ones with boo-boos and stamped on the inside to create colorful backgrounds to cut apart to make other cards.  They looked like this:

That keeps the messed up cards from being wasted.  There was no other way to save them because the line went right thru the Thank You sentiment.
