Here is a card I made for our secretary at work who retired after 40 years! I used Daffodil Delight and the butterfly punch from Stampin' Up! along with the matching seam binding for a bow on top. The embossing folder used was Elegant Lines and the sentiment was from the 'Your a Gem" stamp set.
I gave her a card and a cute yellow daisy-like flower. We are going to miss her!! She has some big shoes to fill at work!
Here's a graduation card I made for my nephew. It's always more challening to make cards for guys, it seems, but this fit the bill for a more masculine card.
