Retirement Congrats with Gilded Autumn
The Gilded Autumn paper pack is beautiful and works with so many kinds of cards. This is a retirement card, but the design could be used for many kinds of cards.
Card Base: Cut Mint Macaron 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. 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 copper foil paper 4 X 5 1/4
Card Front: Cut Mint Macaron leaf paper from Gilded Autumn 3 7/8 X 5 ⅛
I cut out the inside of my copper foil mat to be able to use the copper foil piece I cut out for other projects. Attach copper foil mat to Mint Macaron card base
Cut 6” of Mint Macaron ribbon in the Gilded Autumn Suite. Tie a knot 1 ½ from the left end of the ribbon. Attach ribbon to card front 1” from bottom of card front. I used tear & tape, wrap ribbon around the back of the card front.
Attach card front to copper mat
Stamp sentiment on Whisper White paper with Mint Macaron ink. Punch close to one end of the word with the Label Me Fancy punch
Attach a post-it note to end that is punched closed to sentiment. The post-it note acts as a handle to allow you to move sentiment into punch to punch close to the other end of the sentiment
Punch the shape again from copper foil. Attach White stamped punch out shape to Copper foil punch piece. Attach these punched out pieces over the ribbon on the card front with dimensionals. That’s it; you have finished your card front
For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Whisper White 4 X 5 ¼
Stamp sentiment on inside of the card. Because the sentiment I wanted to use is relatively small in size, I added a strip of paper that is ½” x 4 across the top of the card insert
