Stamperia Calligraphy Collection

I love the gorgeous Stamperia Paper Pads at The Ink Pad.  Today's cards are made from the Calligraphy Collection by Stamperia.

One thing I love about the pads is that they are 8" x 8", so there's more landscape to make different cards sizes than just A2.  This square card allowed me to showcase the wonderful alphabet paper.

 

 

Another nice touch is that there are a few pages with elements that can be cut out for use on the card designs like the fountain pen and the tag sentiment.

The 8"x8" paper size is also perfect to make a slimline card layout.

 

I love the contrast of these different papers, especially with a wrap of ivory card and the sentiment cut from another piece of paper from the collection.

The quote on this card talks about how you can write letters to travel with your heart, so I'm linking-up at the Travel Challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz.

 

My final card features another detail cut fountain pen and ink well, together with another tag design and sentiment from the collection.  I just love the tones of sepia in the papers.

I'm linking this one up at the Anything Goes Challenge at Simon Says Stamp.

I hope I've given you some ideas about how fun it can be to just use some wonderful Stamperia Paper Collections for cardmaking.
