    Foil: 3 ½” x 3 ½”
  • Burlap
    Ribbon: 4 ¼”
  • Twine:

Instructions:
  1. Fold
    the Crumb Cake cardstock in half to form the card base.
  2. Stamp
    the large and the smaller piece of white cardstock with the Birch
    stamp set and Crumb Cake ink.
  3. Stamp
    the tree image on the two pieces of White cardstock. On the larger
    piece of cardstock, stamp the tree image in the bottom left. On the
    smaller piece of white, stamp the tree image in the middle of the
    cardstock. To ink up the stamp, use the Mossy Meadow Marker to
    color the tree foliage. Then use the Early Espresso Marker to
    colour the tree trunk portion of the stamp. Huff on the image before
    you stamp it on your cardstock.
  4. Using
    the matching dies, cut out the tree image from the large piece of
    white stamped cardstock.
  5. Cut
    the label image out of the smaller piece of white cardstock,
    centering the tree image.
  6. Stamp
    the “retirement” sentiment, with Early Espresso ink, on the
    small scrap of Whisper White cardstock. Punch it out with the
    Classic Label punch.
  7. Use
    a die cutting machine to cut out the word “Happy” in both Early
    Espresso and Copper foil cardstock.
  8. To
    assemble attach, the larger piece of white cardstock to the front of
    the card base.
  9. Attach
    the burlap ribbon, using SNAIL adhesive, to the front of the card.
  10. Attach
    the label to the front of the card using dimensionals and cover out
    the hole left by the die cut tree.
  11. Attach
    the die cut tree to the label using mini dimensionals.
  12. Attach
    the punched-out retirement word to the front of the card using glue
    dots.
  13. Attach
    the Copper word die cut to the Espresso word die cut and slightly
    offset the words (so it appears that there is a shadow). Attach
    the words to the front of the card. Use a combination of glue dots
    and SNAIL.
  14. Attach
    the leaf trinket to the front of the card using glue dots.
  15. Tie
    the Mossy Meadow twine into a bow and attach it to the leaf trinket
    using a glue dot.

Important Notice: Stampin’ Up! recently updated my website! To ensure you have the best experience, the next time you visit my site, please make sure not to include “www.” at the front of the URL. Or you can simply click the following link and save it as a favourite so you don’t have to think about it: https://serenestamper.stampinup.net/
If you forget and do include “www.” at the front, it’s possible you will see an error telling you the site may not be secure. That’s not true; in fact, it’s more secure than it was before the update! That “www.” is the problem.
I’m also in the process of updating my calendar of events so stay tuned for my Christmas classes! 

Enjoy the day & HAPPY STAMPING!

At the time I just wanted the discount on all of the fabulous stamps and accessories - why pay full price if you don't have to, right? But little did I know where my journey with Stampin' Up! would take me. Read More…
