This time of year, the word "retirement" brings to mind stamps and accessories, as a new catalog is released and we say goodbye to those being "put out to pasture".
But today I'm focusing on an actual "retirement"--a doctor with whom I've worked for 15 years is retiring from his practice. I needed a card to wish him well, and I found something on Stampin' Connection (a demonstrator only web site with thousands of samples), but now I can't find it and will not be able to give that person credit. But the card was perfect!
I began with a
Whisper White base. I stamped
World Map in
Staz On Black ink on Whisper White, and cut it into for panels. Each was mounted on a slightly larger piece of
Basic Black card stock, and they were carefully lined up and adhered to the card base.
I stamped the sentiment from
Starburst Sayings two times using Staz On ink, and snipped out the W-O-R-L-D from one of them. Then I ran the other through the
Big Shot, using the
Starburst framelits, and added this to a circle of Basic Black. And my little "W-O-R-L-D" banner was popped up with
Dimensionals.
The little "thank you" was done the same way (Starburst famelits and circle punch). Then, after adhering a strip of
3/4" black Chevron Ribbon, the sentiments were added. I also took an arrow from
Essentials Wooden Elements, pressed it onto a
Versamark pad and sprinkled on
black embossing powder. After heat setting, this was added to the front with
Mini Glue Dots.
The inside had to be special too...so I "embossed" the outer edges by turning the card stock upside down and scoring with my
Simply Scored board.
The sentiment from
Really Good Greetings and
Teeny Tiny Wishes were lined up with my
Stamp-
a-ma-Jig for perfect placement and stamped in Staz On.
I wish him well, and hope you enjoyed this card.
