Farewell gift to a great Year Head /Mentor



Time to make a farewell gift to one of my sons teachers who is his Year Leader also. 

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 his 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 always difficult attaching to a curvy product.

Good luck to Mr F in the future,  hope he ends up with another nice year group to look after.
