Sarah reminded me that her Math teacher, who is also her Advisory teacher is also retiring. So, I pulled out some Doodlebug Take Note papers, and made a variation more suitable for a math teacher.
Here they are together.
My next card is just a tiny bit of a card (3" by 3"), and it is for this week's ColourQ cQc #188, CAS-ual Fridays CFC100--polka dots, square card, birthday, and One Layer Wednesday--Card Size to make a 3 inch square card. All that in just one tiny card. I used Sketched Shapes and a sentiment from Tag-Its.
Here you can see how small this card really is:
Last I have a card for this week's Simon Says.....Things with Wings challenge. I finally used my Hero Arts Antique Engravings set, which I had to have about a year ago, but didn't ink it up until today. Fortunately, I do not need this card, but like to have a stash of sympathy cards around, just in case.
That's it for me today. It's too late to type up all the supplies, but let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for Visiting
Sensational once again, Joyce! Your MUSE cards are really fun and unique! You constantly inspire me.
ReplyDelete(I saw the awesome GGB card that Kim made using the dies you sent her and I had never seen that die used on a card before. I was tickled to hear that she got it from you! It is such great serendipity that I used that image on your birthday card!)
More great cards. I really like your teacher cards and your small card looks great. The stamping on it is perfect. And is always good to have some sympathy cards on hand. I love the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteGreat Muse cards, although I'm partial to the Scottish one, being married to a Scot! Thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteYour retirement cards are beautifully designed ... I especially like the plaid background you stamped. Could you tell me if you used the Woven Plaid stamp by DRS Stamps?
ReplyDeleteI also really like your Sketched Shapes card. The design is great and the ink colors are beautiful together.
Hi Rita--I can't find an email address for you, so I will reply to your question here. The widest stripe in the plaid is SU Cherry Cobbler and uses a stamp from Waltzingmouse Pic-Nic Patterns. The green stripes are stamped in SU Garden Green and uses a stamp from Waltzingmouse Off Beat Backgrounds. The yellow is PTI Harvest Gold ink stamped with PTI Background Basics Super Stripes. Hope that helps.
DeleteHi Joyce!
DeleteThank you so much for answering my question in so much detail ... it was very helpful! I visited Waltzingmouse and PTI to check out these wonderful stamp sets.
Blessings, Rita
Joyce these are all so fabulous! I am in love with your plaid background, it goes so well with your teacher card. So sweet to take the time to make these cards for retiring teachers. I see something very familiar on your first card, that ruler ribbon, maybe??? Thank you again for sharing it with me. Your mini happy birthday is just too darn sweet. I love the colors and here is that stamp set again! Your sympathy card is so beautiful and I really love those butterflies over the script, very classy. Love them all!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you personalized the plaid teacher card - the retirement date stamped on the library card is a definite keepsake! Those butterflies on that perfect sympathy card - there is a lovely, gentle feeling from your design.
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Joyce! I love that plaid stamped background-- it looks amazing! I also love the background patterned paper on the second card. You little card is so sweet -- great colour combo! And your last card is beautiful!

ReplyDeleteFab teacher retirement cards- your plaid background looks just like cloth. Your sympathy card is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou sure nailed these teacher cards! I love the plaid you stamped and it sounds like it is going to be perfect for the Scottish teacher. Your sympathy card looks very soothing and comforting. Beautiful work here Joyce! Happy Mother's day to you!

That sympathy card is really lovely too - not too solemn and not too flippant.

ReplyDeleteJoyce, your plaid is amazing! I really assumed it was patterned paper. And your tiny, square, sketched shapes card is really engaging. Nice placement of the circles, with the arrow pointing out the sentiment. Great design!
