I used the adorable new set from the Bean Stalk Collection called Teachers Pet!  The little school bear is irresistible...with his cute little backpack, heading to school with an apple for the teacher.  Adorbs, I tell you!

I stamped the sweet bear in black ink over a piece of subtle-patterned paper, colored him just a little with pencils and fussy cut him out to prop him up over a few other fun layers of patterned paper.  The sentiment is displayed on a whimsical banner and adorned with a wooden apple to coordinate with the fussy cut red apples.

Now, you're off to your next stop for more inspiration using our favorite Sugar Pea Designs from the September release!

Lori Whitlock - Quick & Easy Banner Tutorial

Hello, Lori Whitlock fans!  

I'm up on the Lori Whitlock blog today with a Quick and Easy Banner Tutorial using some awesome Lori Whitlock Silhouette files from the Silhouette Design Store!

 This banner came together in a snap!  

Quick and Easy Banner Supplies:

Card Stock

Patterned Paper

Tape Adhesive/Glue

Foam Adhesive

Liquid Adhesive

Paper Flowers & Leaves

Baker's Twine

Quick and Easy Banner Directions:

1.  Cut the Lori Whitlock Layered Bunting Banner from teal card stock using my Silhouette Cameo, using the standard sizing.

2.  Cut the Lori Whitlock 3 Doily Set using my Silhouette Cameo, resizing the doilies at 50%, ungrouping them to allow cutting from different patterned papers.

3.  Adhere the Layered Bunting Banner pieces together with tape adhesive or glue, then layer the 3 Doily Set using foam adhesive for dimension.

4.  Embellish the banner with paper flowers and leaves using liquid adhesive. Add string baker's twine through the given holes for displaying your banner.
