Good Morning! Today is a bittersweet day for me, as it is officially my last post for
Xyron Adhesives. I have had a complete blast sharing everything that I have made with all of you. I will forever cherish the time that I spent working for a fabulous company, and alongside some super-talented ladies.
Even amongst the bitter part, it will be a fantastic weekend this weekend. For starters,
today is my birthday! While I'm not going to tell you how old I am, I will say that I'm younger than the
Seattle Seahawks who are going to the Super Bowl this weekend!!
Since I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, it's a pretty big deal that our Seahawks are playing on Sunday. We watch every Hawks game, and usually my husband attends at least one a year. While our family usually watches the big game, no matter who plays, we don't usually decorate. This year... All bets are off (at least on the decoration side of things!)
I really love this banner. It's fun, and because I didn't use the team name, only a PNG of the Hawks logo, I could break it out again later if I chose to.
My husband was gifted these quite a few years ago, and we get to decorate with them finally! Just a little bit of vintage Seahawks!
For the food picks and the larger logo, I just found a PNG file of the logo online.
THIS is the version that I used for this project. My crafty friend
Brenda shared with me a
fantastic tutorial on how to use your
Silhouette's Print and Cut feature. There really are quit a few out there, and this one just worked for me. Once those were all cut, I used my
Xyron 1.5" Create-a-Sticker to adhere the logos to a
scalloped rectangle that I sized just for this.
Once the logos were adhered to the rectangles, I simply attached some popsicle sticks that I cut in half (and made pointy!) with a couple of
Xyron Adhesive Solutions 3/8" Dots. Now I'm ready to spear some amazing game snacks!
The banner was really easy too! I took a
football shape from the Silhouette store, and cut it in both kraft paper for the football, and white for the laces. I cut the title with cardstock, then offset the letters so that I could use a contrasting color with each letter. I then ran both the laces and the blue letters through my
Xyron 3" Sticker Maker. I think that the
3" is my favorite
Xyron tool.
Once the laces were attached to the footballs, and the blue letters were attached to the offset green ones, I needed to attach the title to each of the football pieces. Using the
Xyron Adhesive Solutions 3/8" Dots, each of the letters was easily attached.
Once all of the letters were attached, I used a hole punch to create a place to use my grey twine and string up the banner.
I'm kind of in love with the whole effect. Now all I need is some football snacks and one amazing game! GO HAWKS!
