Hi friends! I am back today with a project using the leftover “happy” cover plate die cut that I created for THIS card. Because I was using specialty iridescent mirror cardstock, I wanted to make sure that I used as much of the cardstock as possible, and so created a project with the negative die cuts as well as the positive die cuts. For today’s project, I created a serene retirement card using a variety of shades of turquoise to complement my shimmery iridescent white die cut. Let’s get started with the details!

To begin, I used some pearlescent white mirror foil cardstock to die cut the new Happy Cover die. I reserved the positive pieces for the card linked above, then adhered the negative single die cut to an A2 panel of Simon Says Stamp Sea Glass cardstock using liquid adhesive. I also stamped a coordinating sentiment from the Happy stamp set onto a strip of Audrey Blue cardstock using Simon Says Stamp White Pigment Ink, then added White Satin Pearl embossing powder over the top to add a lovely pearlescent sheen.
Because the sentiment takes up such a large portion of the card front, I created a coordinating turquoise Bold Flower die cut and nestled it in the corner of the card front, trimming off the excess with my sharp scissors. To keep the color palette cohesive throughout the card, I used the same Sea Glass and Audrey Blue cardstocks, along with another medium shade of turquoise as well as a glittery flower center.
After I had created all of the elements of the card, I adhered the die cut floral and the sentiment strip to the card front using foam adhesive, finally adding some extra sparkle to this elegant card with a smattering of Opal Pawsitively Dazzling Gems.
Well, that’s all for my project today! I love when I can use all of the parts of a die cut to create multiple projects, don’t you? Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous day!
