Acorn Shaped Birthday Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

Acorn Shaped Birthday Card

It is the 21st of the month and time for another Design Team post for The Cutting Cafe! This time we focused on fall and Halloween. I really do not celebrate Halloween so I went with the fall theme. There were a few files we could choose from…

Acorn Shaped Card (which I used)
Halloween and Fall Shaker Cards
Halloween and Fall in a Jar Printable Stamp Set

I cut the card from brown cardstock and used Recollections and My Minds Eye papers. I added a happy birthday rub on and candy dots for accents. I also added acrylic leaf embellishments.

On the inside I printed a humorous sentiment…

And I covered the back in the same acorn/leaf paper…

I think it turned out nice and I plan to give it to my uncle who sometimes tells corny jokes. Thanks for stopping by. Make sure you stop over and see all the design team projects on The Cutting Cafe Blog. Leave a comment to be eligible to win three files on our next post, November 7th.

Before you go, watch my video on the project…

Pocket Full of Embellishments Swap

13 Oct

You may have noticed that I have not posted as much lately but I am going to try to post more frequently. But make sure you check out my YouTube Channel as I do upload more videos.

Anyway, last month I participated in the Pocket Full of Embellishment Swap which was hosted by Betty who is Scrappassion01 on YT. The original idea came from Tammy, SSCrafter1 on YT, who created this for a design team project. My partner was Veronica, vlballen1 on YT. I wanted to share a bit of me with her so I used my favorite black and gold colors. Here are several photos of what I made. Then I will share what I received from Veronica, and my videos.

Pumpkin Trio Sympathy Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

6 Oct

Pumpkin Trio Sympathy Card

For our project for The Cutting Cafe, the theme was pumpkins. We are entering into the fall season and what better way to showcase it than with pumpkins. They are standards for decorating and pumpkin flavored cake, coffee, cookies, syrup, and everything else is available everywhere you go!

I used the Pumpkin Trio Card and decided to go non-traditional and make gold and white pumpkins for a sympathy card. One of my staff lost her brother very suddenly and she is entering a new season in her life without him. So, I thought the pumpkins would be great to symbolize the season change. I think it came out beautifully. She loved it.
