Bubble Over Retirement

Sometimes you just have to make a special card for a special person.

This card was made for a good friend who retired from civil service, AFTER retiring from a career in the military.  That’s a lot of dedicated service.

Jerry, and his wife, LaAnna, are some of our best friends, and if you’re my friend on Facebook, you’ve probably seen pictures of us together.  Jerry has a fondness for craft beer, so I thought this card would be perfect for him!

Cardstock:  Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Silver foil

Special Celebrations Wedding Shower

I recently attended a wedding shower for a sweet young couple from my church.  I wanted to make them a special handmade card, but as usual, I was looking for an idea at the last minute!  When I looked at the bag I’d purchased for the gift, I was inspired to make a card to match.

 

Here’s a close up of the card.

Stamps:  Special Celebrations

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Cardstock:  Very Vanilla Note Card and Envelope, Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Gold Foil

Punch:  3/4” Circle

Other:  Subtle Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

I was really pleased with the result.  What do you think?
