Happy Retirement Card

Hello crafty friends! It’s Lidya here and I’m so happy to share another card with you in my Let’s Mix It Up series. Today I’m sharing a fun and easy retirement card featuring some goodies from the new release. Now, let’s get started!

First, I took a white card stock and cut it using the largest rectangle die from the Whimsically Wonky Imperial Rectangle Dies. I created the background using the Flower Power Stencil and Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade.

Next, I took the happy word die from the Stitched Birthday Trio Frame Dies and cut some white cardstock using the die. I ink blended 4 of the happy words using the Distress Oxide Salvaged Patina, Tumbled Glass, Carved Pumpkin, Squeezed Lemonade, Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron, Wilted Violet and Shaded Lilac. I used the rest of the happy words to layer and create some dimensions.

I heat-embossed the sentiment from the Special Day Sentiment Duos stamp set on a red card stock using white embossing powder. To finish off the card, I pulled out the Koality Hugs stamp set and chose this cute napping koala. Although this was a simple design, the one tricky part was lining everything up with equal spacing. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. 

Thank you so much for stopping by Heffy Doodle blog! I hope you enjoyed the card I’ve shared with you today! XOXO, Lidya
