Longest. Coffee Break. EVER! This retirement card is definitely a favorite of ours and is a perfect send off for that retiree.
Today our designer Julie is bringing us a coffee themed retirement card, perfect for a coworker or friend who is hanging up their work hat in favor of taking up a sunhat or fishing hat. These colors work great for guys as well as gals, and we think this design is one that could have a quick sentiment change up for just about any occasion. Follow along with Julies quick and easy steps to recreate this coffee-inspired retirement card.
- After die cutting all the cup pieces, I put them together.
- The hardest part is just deciding which colors to use for the cup. Just pick 2 shades of a color & you’re good to go. I used blues because I thought they’d be a nice contrast to all the browns.
- The designer paper was a narrowish scrap that had a circle cut out.
- Instead of adding a circle or oval to cover the cut out in the designer paper, I decided I liked it as is, so I cut a blue circle big enough to go around it, then used a smaller circle to cut out the inside to make a frame.
- The greeting (love how snarky it is), was stamped on a piece of vanilla & cut w/ a tag die.
- It was cut half way, then die turned around & cut the rest of the way, making both sides the same.
- The cup is popped up 1 layer & everything was attached to a large blue background.
