You'll Be Missed

#stampinup  I'm so glad Stampin' Up came out with a set that can be used for retirements and for people heading out to new adventures. I thought these sentiments had been lacking in previous years. The "Wild About Flowers" set fills that bill, but, well, it's flowers, so it's not so masculine. But I'm a clever little stamper and I pulled out the "Traveler" set and got to work.

My card is based on a sketch at the Paper Craft Crew Challenge blog.



I started with a 1-1/2" x 4-1/4" strip of English Garden Designer series paper and mounted it onto a piece of Soft Suede. I added this to a Mossy Meadow card base. Next, I stamped the ship from the "Traveler" set in Night of Navy onto a Whisper White square that I'd cut with the Squares Framelits Collection. I mounted this on a Night of Navy square cut with the next size up framelit. I adhered this element to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped the "You'll be missed" sentiment in Night of Navy on a Whisper White scrap and punched it out with the 1-1/4" Circle Punch. I punched a scrap of Soft Suede with the 1-3/8" Circle Punch and adhered these two elements to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals. I stacked two Dimensionals on the right side of the circle element so that it would be level.

Finally, I punched three Night of Navy stars from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and adhered them to the card with Glue Dots.

I think this will be a fine card for one of my male co-workers who is retiring soon...and he'll definitely be missed!
