Retirement Card

This is my card that I made for my
Cricut Class Instructor Bonnie.

She retired from her regular job so one of the
girls thought it would be nice if we each made her a
handmade card and presented
it to her at the next class as a surprise.

We did and she LOVED it!

Front


Side


Inside


Latte


Sentiment


Embellishment

Recipe: 


This card is a standard 5 ½" X 4 ¼".
The inside and outside Polka Dot
background is 5 ¼ " X 4".
I used my Cuttlebug and the dots
embossing folder to emboss the front
of the card. The cartridges used were
Christmas Cheer for the Mug cut at 3",
and Lacy Labels (Lite) for the 3 scallop
cut outs cut at 3", 3 1/2" and 4".
I printed the sentiment off of my
computer onto a piece of my
yellow 8 ½” X 11” cardstock
and cut the front tag at 1 ¼" X 3 ¼".
The inside tag was done the same
way at 3 ½" X 1". Finally I finished off the
card with Bonnie’s favorite product, “STICKLES”
and a pretty bow embellishment.


All of the cards were a success!
