Throwback Thursday – Saying Goodbye with ‘Welcome to the Team’

As the school year winds down, it’s time to reflect, appreciate, and sometimes say goodbye. This week’s Throwback Thursday card is dedicated to those bittersweet farewells—to staff moving on to new schools and new roles.

I pulled out a retired gem: Welcome to the Team, one of my favourite sentiment sets for coworkers and colleagues. It was the perfect pairing for the bright, cheerful designs in the Full of Life 6×6 Designer Series Paper (a current Stampin’ Up! product!) and some subtle sparkle from Iridescent Faceted Gems.

🖤 Card Details:

  • Image & Sentiment stamped in Secret Sea Ink – it’s quickly become my go-to neutral!
  • The coffee mug was coloured with Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends
  • I stamped the image again on a stitched Stylish Shapes circle, then fussy cut and popped the mug up on dimensionals
  • Finished off with coordinating DSP and a trio of Iridescent Faceted Gems

It’s a clean, modern, and heartfelt card—great for staff farewells, team transitions, or even just a note of appreciation to a hardworking friend.

✂️ Creative Tip:

Fussy cutting and layering stamped images over the same design creates easy depth and dimension, especially when using alcohol markers for vibrant colouring.
