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.


Thanks so much for stopping by,

Just Add Colour with a Mini Photo Wallet

Photo Wallet and Butterfly Easel Card The Colour Combo for Just Add Ink's 57th Challenge Butterfly Easel Card I designed a butterfly easel card for my latest project at UStamp with Dawn and Friends using the Punch Bunch Stamp Set . For this challenge I popped the little butterfly from the Bliss Set , added some pearls and stamped the gorgeous flourish from the same SAB stamp set to form the background pattern for both die cut butterflies. I also sponged around the edges with River Rock Ink. PS: Thanks again to Nancy Riley for choosing this card as one of her iPicks for this week! Inside the Photo Wallet This would make a Lovely Hostess Gift (especially for a scrap-booking enthusiast) Complete with Photo Mats Instructions for the Photo Wallet can be found HERE .

Scallop Circle Easel Card Tutorial

Punch Potpourri Scallop Circle Easel Card in the Dynamic Duo of Melon Mambo and Pretty in Pink 1. Score a piece of card stock through the middle (which is double the length of your die) and line up the folded piece over the Scallop Circle Die (SCD) leaving 4 scallops at the top to form the base of your card. This is how it should look after you run it through the Big Shot Machine . 2. Score a line through the middle of the top Scallop Circle and fold upwards. 3. Apply Sticky Strip or glue to half the Scallop Circle as shown above. 4. Cut out a single Scallop Circle in the same colour (Melon Mambo) and stick it to the folded half so the top layer sits up like an easel (The top half that is facing will now be a double layer and the bottom half, a single layer of card stock). 5. Cut two circles using the lighter shade (Pretty In Pink) and attach one to the base of the card. Sponge around the edges with the darker shade of ink before gluing the other circle to the front of the c...
