Good Morning…and let's all have a great week! This is the 2nd of 3 posts using a mixture of the

Oh, Hello Stamp Set and the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set! I want to show you how you can utilize different stamp set to create beautiful cards with total different looks! Today is a feminine feel!

I am being "Super Mom" to one of my wonderful children as he came to me yesterday and said…

"Mom, can you come with me to Raleigh…I would like your advice on an apartment?"

…now how can I say no…it's a good thing I only work 1/2 days on Mondays so I was able to go in yesterday to get my hours in! I love the fact that my 22 year old still wants his Mom's input!

Now to today's post…to start off – find a ruler – I ALWAYS have one handy whenever I work as it is a simple tool like this that relieves stress…let me explain – when I went to stamp the images around the sides of the card base…I 1st took the ruler and drew a line in the middle on both directions!

Doing this made it  a cinch to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig and get my placement just perfect! This is a tool that is soooo intimidating – but you really, really need to practice and learn that when you cannot find it – you totally go into a panic…I would not know how to make cards without it!

After stamping this using a tone on tone image from the Mixed Bunch Stamp Set,  I "sandwiched" the flowers in again using the stamp-a-ma-jig…this time instead of Stamping them with one color…I used the markers in Always Artichoke and Elegant Eggplant…gave them a "huff" and stamped the image in the 4 corners!

I then stamped 4 more of these flowers gems from the Oh, Hello Stamp Set and cut them out using the paper snips…the only scissors to use for tiny areas! These I will tuck around the sentiment area that will give it a bit of depth using some pieces of stampin' dimensionals…

Now to the sentiment….this piece is 1 1/2" X 2 1/4" and then I used the corner rounder to soften the edges and also did the same with the purple matted! I POPPED the sentiment so when I tucked the flowers in I was able to let them be 3-D.

The finale was using the Always Artichoke and the Scallop Trim Border Punch to create a special feminine touch! When you do this…no need to waste paper…use punch the trim border out…cut say…an 1 1'2" and then use the snail to add it to the base!

DONE! Not to bad…right? I used sticky strip to adhere the base portion to the card…why use sticky strip? I feel with all of the layers I have, I want the strongest hold so my card looks as professional as possible!

Had to do something to my envelope as it would not be a "Susan" card without a liner….using the designer series paper in the Elegant Eggplant tones did the trick ( I cannot wait to see the NEW designer series papers) I know…Tuesday will be here soon!

Well…I would say that this is one beautiful card that anyone would love to receive! It actually was fun to do and when I sat down to make a "feminine" card today I had no idea where to go…I just kept "evolving" and I like the end result!
