Want an easy Happy Retirement card? The one here, using the stamp set Senior Years, is just for you!
This cute little lady is easy to replicate and the colors work really well together.
To make this card
- Begin with a 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” piece of Smoky Slate card stock, score and fold at 4 1/4” to form your card base.
- Layer and adhere a 3 5/8” x 4 7/8” piece of Playing with Patterns designer series paper (DSP) to a 3 3/4” x 5” piece of Calypso Coral card stock and adhere both to the card base using Stampin’ SEAL.
- Crop out a piece of Basic White card stock and a piece of Calypso Coral card stock with the largest and 2nd largest Stitched Nested Labels dies using your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine.
- Stamp the lady and the sentiment on the Basic White cutout using Tuxedo Memento black ink. Color with the following Stampin’ Blends: Calypso Coral, Cinnamon Cider, Ivory, Gray Granite, and Smoky Slate.
- Place two 3” lines of glue with the Stampin’ SEAL down the middle of the card and adhere a 12” piece of Gray Granite Shimmer ribbon on it, creating an elongated “Z” pattern. (hint – be sure to only put the adhesive in the area that will be covered by the image)
- Adhere the Basic White cutout to the Calypso Coral cutout using Stampin’ SEAL and attach to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Attach three Silver Metallic Pearls to the card as shown.
- FOR AN ADDED TOUCH: Add a piece of matching Playing with Patterns designer series paper (DSP) to the envelope flap. Glue a 2 1/2″ x 6″ piece to the outside of the envelope and trim off the excess with your Paper Snips.
