A Sizzix Banner for my FCE Club
Aloha, all!
I’ve posted before about projects that I’ve done for my Family and Community Education (FCE) club here in East Hawaii. We are one of several clubs in our Council, and enjoy social activities throughout the year, all of which somehow promote raising funds to support the charitable work of the club and its members.
One event this year was our annual "Friendship Tea." Each club chose a country or culture and brought samples of foods related to that. We chose Mexico, which is fairly easy to do foodwise, even if it’s more United States southwestern than really Mexican.
Decorating was a bit harder, though we found quite a few of us had salsa bowls. My contribution was, as always, from my Craft Room. For this party, I made a banner with the Sizzix Bigz XL Die, Stampin’ Up! Pennant, and the Sizzix Bigz Die, Serif Essentials Alphabet. I even made good use of the Scallop Circles in the Stampin’ Up! Pennant Die at the tip of each Real Red pennant, with a copy of the Mexican seal added to it.
The colors for this were Real Red and Garden Green, along with some Whisper White, which seemed best to match the Mexican Flag. I used the same colors in the little place cards on the table that explained what each food item was.
I’m sure there will be lots more opportunities to use these dies in the future! And there are going to be LOTS OF NEW DIES in the 2009-2010 Stampin’ Up! catalog–many of them exclusive to Stampin’ Up!–that will be coming out soon! I’ll have my catalog in my hot little hands by June 9th. So come on over to see what’s in store! Or call me (808.854.6145) if you have any questions about what’s in the catalog that might interest you!
