Playing with Patterns Retirement Card

This is a fun retirement card, made even more so with the funny sentiment. The Playing with Patterns paper pack has so many options for this card.

Card Base: Cut Crushed Curry 8 ½ X 11 paper in half width wise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.

Card Mat: Cut Night of Navypaper 4 X 5 1/4

Card Front: Cut Playing with Patterns paper 3 ¾ X 5. When using 6 X 6 paper, first cut a strip that is 3 ¾ X 6, this leaves a strip of paper that is 2 ¼ X 6 which is the size you need for your envelope flap. Trim 1 inch from the card front so you have a piece that is 3 ¾ X 5. I cut the 1 inch left over piece in half inch strips to use inside the card.

Die cut the smallest die in Hippo & Friends dies from Whisper White paper. Die cut the next size die from Crushed Curry. Stamp sentiment with Night of Navy ink on small white die cut piece.

Attach print card front to Night of Navy card mat. Attach this piece to Crushed Curry card base.

Attach stamped white die piece to Crushed Curry die piece. Attach this die cut piece to the card front. Attach the smallest Crushed Curry resin dot to stamped die.

That’s it; you have finished your card front. Wasn’t that easy? For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Whisper White 4 X 5 ¼. Stamp a sentiment and paper strip before attaching this piece inside your card.
