A Fond Farewell

It's never easy to say goodbye to a member of staff, especially one that has been with the school from the very beginning.  An extra special card was needed and seeing that the family are moving to WA, I thought a card in the shape of a suitcase would be pretty appropriate.  One of her favourite colours is orange and I had no idea that she had just bought a set of orange luggage for the big move!

     

The suitcase card base was e-cut from a Silhouette download from Tangerine Tango and Basic Black Card Stock.  After I had taken the photos I decided to add a couple more layers so there was more room for people to write messages inside and some chevron ribbon to hold the glued handles together.

Washi Tape and faux stitching made a great 'frame' for the stamped images from the Around the World Set and the finished colour combo was Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Whisper White, Melon Mambo and Wild Wasabi.

Banner Fun at SUO Challenges

Hi there!  If you follow my blog you will know that I love making fun shaped cards, especially easel cards.  This design has been in my head for a while and I held off making it until this week because it just so happens to fit in perfectly with the Banner Fun Challenge at SUO.

The Fringe Scissors make it easy to add some 'grass' to the card.  Did you also notice the three SALE-A-BRATION goodies (one free for every $90 you spend) that were used in the making of this card?

• Sweet Sorbet DSP
• Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack
• Banner Punch

Happy SALE-A-BRATION everyone!  It's one of the most 'fun times' on the Stampin' Up! ® calendar.

I made the easel part on each side 2 inches wide so the Woodgrain Tags, made from the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, would be a perfect fit. It's based on THIS CARD I made when I was on the Dynamic Duos DT, but in reverse and the middle section has been completely cut away.  I've called this new design a Double Scalloped Tag Topper Easel Card.  Phew!... a bit of a mouthful but a lot of fun to make. 

I hope that is a good enough explanation for now and maybe I will do a tutorial later when I have a bit more time on my hands.

So what BANNER are you going to make on your next project?  I hope you will play along over the next fortnight and share your creativity with us.
