Personalised Retirement Card


An A4 card. I  have used the Tattered Lace Essential book die set to make this card. This recipient likes sewing so I used my Xcut haberdashery set of dies to cut the sewing items. I have used self adhesive tape measure embellishment, ribbon & buttons from my stash. I have die cut flowers in felt and decorated them with buttons. I have printed the personalised sentiment and die cut it with a scalloped oval die. I completed the card with flat backed pearls

  2. What a fabulous creation. This is so cute and the person receiving this will be delighted and very happy! I love how you put all these sewing things in since she's retiring and will have more time to do what she loves to do. And the flowers and buttons on the other side of the page are lovely. Your pink bow is pretty and sweet just like the card. Thanks for joining us at Craft-Dee BowZ for our monthly challenge. Lovely card!! Hugs, Gail
