Woot-Woot….it is Friday and bring on the weekend! I have a friend that just had hip surgery and thought a bit of flowers would be a great pick-me-up! I hope that this card makes you smile as much as I do….just love this stamp set!

This stamp set was totally overlooked by me when the catalog 1st came out and once I "discover it" – I thought…."Silly Susan" – how could you have overlooked that! This is one I call a keeper! It is called Pictogram Punches and just think about changing up the sentiments of this clean and simple card to make it work for so many occasions!

I realize that we are "knee deep" into Fall and I have used such soft/bright colors but what the heck – it's a card and I know that Ann will love it! This is what I call…."my kind of card"!!!

This is a card that I hope that you CASE so I am going to make sure that you have all of the scoop on how to make it! Please feel free to email me if you have any specific questions that I have not provided for you!

• The card base is an A-2 but folded at the 5 1/2" line to make it a vertical card.

• The next layer of Whisper White is 4" X 5 1/4" and then run through the Big Shot with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder (wow….just love the effect this simple step makes)

• The White piece that I stamped on is 2" X 2 3/4" and then matted just 1/8" larger (that little "peek" gives a big punch)

• I did use the stamp-a-ma-jig…why???? Cause' I love it and I find it to bring the end result to alignment perfection! (I masked off the stems of the stamp and then cleaned it and then used the brush end of the Pear Pizzazz to stamp again)

• I do like to stamp the flower on the stamped image and then I use a piece of scrap paper to stamp and punch them out! I think it gives a polished effect as you can curl up the petals and still see a flower underneath! (hope that makes sense) The colors I used were Soft Sky and Lost Lagoon.

• I have not been giving the "Designer Series Paper Stack" the attention it deserves lately as our DSP has been fun but this is just sunning! The In Color Paper Stack it the perfect compliment for the card (4" X 1 1/2") and also for the back flap of the envelope.

• The sentiment is from the MUST HAVE set, And Many More (the best assortment of sentiments all in one set) I popped it out with the Modern Label Punch and then matted it – love this look!

• Some POPS with Dimensionals and before cleaning up my stamps….I made the mailman smile with a decorated front!

Well….did this inspire you? I sure hope so as I just adore this! I think that I might make this card up in all different color schemes and add different sentiments to give as a gift…..I think I might do a Stamp A Stack with this and let the stampers pick different sentiments!

If you live near Maryland, please email me….I would love for you to join me for an event! I am super lucky to be able to use Johns office and he has a PERFECT stampin' spot!
