As Laura and all the other nurses at the Care Home she works at are being made redundant she has asked me to make her a few cards with 'Good Luck' and if possible a nursing theme. This is the first of a batch of three and I must make one for Laura too or I will be in big trouble.Luckily both the girl this card is for and Laura have got new jobs so my card is also one to say 'Congratulations'.
The cardbase is a large scalloped edged white circle folded in half. Then it has straight edged smaller circles matted over the top. To echo the dotty DCWV paper I added gems to the scalloped edge.
The image was stamped on to an oval shape and then matted on to a scalloped oval.
Materials used:
- Woodware clear stamp set
- DCWV paper
- dard blue card
- Promarkers
- tag cut using cuttlebug die
- gems, peel off sentiment and organza ribbon from stash
- oval nesties
- Creative Card Crew - ribbons and gems
- My Time to Craft - So many scallops!
- Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps - tags
I really love these large scalloped circles that can be folded in half to form a card. I have tried to cut them on my Cricut, but it doesn't work the scallops become too large. The ones I've used so far have been bought in a set at Whichcraft in Doncaster. I have seen some gorgeous Magnolia themed cards on show there using these circles.
oooooooooooooooooooooooh only two more sleeps now to the NEC - don't think I will be able to sleep tonight I am so excited.
Have a great day everyone.

Darling cards!! I love the card shape!!
Hi Ann,
Loved the scalloped nurse card. It really is so eye catching. Shame it is for people who have been made redundant but I'm pleased Laura and another girl have jobs to go to. Terrible time for the others losing their jobs just before Christmas. Do hope they find something quickly.
love and hugs

These cards are wonderfully different Ann - a real eyecatcher design.
Unbelievable that all those nurses are to be redundant but well done to Laura and her friend have found new jobs already. No mean feat in the current economic climate.
Oh how I WISH I was going to NEC ... sigh ... maybe next year hahahahahaha!
