What to do when your son comes home on a Friday to say he is loosing his existing form tutor that he has had for 2 and a bit years. I had to make her something to say goodbye from my son , although she isn't leaving the school , she has been absolutely great as a form tutor to my son and has always been approachable to me in and out of school.
Well I only had a weekend to come up with an idea - no pressure.
I decide to create something on a coffee theme - teachers are always drinking coffee - right.
I created the card using my new electronic die cutting machine , the image I already had I just had to add her surname and cut from green and white card stock. The green cut section was matted and layered onto a white circle and the black cut die image was attached to the middle.
Using my old Cricut electronic die cutting machine I cut the words thank you out of green and white card stock. The white letters where inserted into the green section and fixed to the top and bottom of a white square piece of card which was matted onto a 6" x 6 " card.
The named coffee image was attached using 1mm 3d foam pad and fixed to one side of the card.
The coffee cup was cut using Die namics coffee cup die , each section was cut out of various coloured card and layered up accordingly the finished image was also attached using 1mm 3d foam pads.
To accompany the card I created, I decorated a white mug with the same coffee image using Vinyl - I'm still leaning using vinyl this was cut again on my newer machine the Brother Scan n Cut - I attached the green section first and then fixed the black cut section. Could have been a bit straighter but this was my second attempt .
Good luck to Miss S in the future, hope she ends up with another nice form group to look after.
