M y husband needed a retirement card for a friend who is retiring this week. I wanted a card that was masculine, the In Good Taste paper pack was an easy choice for this card.
Project Recipe
Card Base: Cut Basic Gray 8 ½ X 11 paper in half widthwise. You now have two pieces 8 ½ X 5 ½ . Fold one of the pieces in half lengthwise for your card front. The card front now measures 4 ¼ X 5 ½.
Card Front: Cut In Good Taste print paper paper 4 X 5 ¼. Attach to the card front.
Cut Basic Gray 3 X 3 ½. Cut In Good Taste print paper 2 ⅞ X 3 ⅜. Attach to Basic Gray paper. Attach this card front.
Use die from Tasteful Labels to die cut white card stock for label on card front. Stamp Congrats in Basic Gray ink on white die cut label. Attach stamped label to card front with dimensionals.
That’s it; you have finished your card front. For the inside of your card, cut a piece of Whisper White 4 X 5 ¼. I stamped a sentiment and attached a ½” strip of the same print paper from the card front before attaching this piece inside your card.
