Enjoy Petey – Tina Newberry Designs

During this pandemic, I have had three friends get puppies and two family members adopt rescue pets. Today we are welcoming Petey, my cousins’ new rescue pup. Petey found them while they were on a get-away in another state. He continued to hang around their place, so they decided it was meant to be! Einstein and I went to the local pet store and had a fun time picking out treats and toys to send a Welcome to the Family care package to Petey. And well of course Petey needs a card! Playful Pets Suite was perfect for Petey’s card.

Techniques for Making Banner Tips

Banner Tips are much easier to make than you might think. The first method requires a pair of scissors. On the edge you want to be a banner tip, find the center. Use the scissors to cut perpendicular to the edge about 1/2″ to 3/4″. Then cut up from each corner to the top of the cut you just made removing a triangular piece from both sides. When you are cutting a Matte for a banner, cut both the Matte and the Banner together to ensure matching banner tips. For the second method, use the Truly Tailored Punch. Flip the punch over, insert your Banner and Banner Matte so they slightly pass through the first edge of the punch and squeeze to trim the banner tip.
