Retirement Cards

Hi everyone, I was requested by one of my work colleagues to make two retirement cards for her to give to her friends, this is what I came up with.


The first card uses one of the cards from the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Pack, a Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories and More Cards and Envelopes a fussy cut Magnolia flower from the Designer Series Paper.  I added a Stitched Shape Circle cut from Petal Pink cardstock, some punch velum leaves and some Old Olive die cut leaves made using the In The Woods dies.  The sentiment was stamped using the Well Said stamp set.  

I added a Linen Thread bow behind the flower to give a little more interest to the flower and leaf arrangement.  Oh, and of course a few Rhinestones for a little bit of bling.



My second card uses the Come to Gather Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set and the matching Bouquet Bunch Dies.  The sentiment is stamped using the Well Said stamp set.

A tip for this card is that I cut the Designer Series Paper in 5cm strips and then cut these into 12.8cm lengths, so you can get 6 cards from one sheet of Designer Series Paper as I have used the reverse side of the paper as the contrast.

The centre panel is cut at:

7cm x 10.8cm Pretty Peacock Cardstock
6cm x 9.8cm Whisper White Cardstock
5.5cm x 9.3cm Mint Macaron Cardstock
5.5cm x 8.8cm Whisper White Cardstock (this is the piece that the sentiment has been stamped on).
