With Much Appreciation Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

21 Oct
With Much Appreciation Card

With Much Appreciation Sentiment Card

For this The Cutting Cafe design team project we could use any fall or Halloween project.  I chose to highlight that The Cutting Cafe not only has cutting files but also sentiment files or printable stamps.  I used the So Thankful Circle Word file to make this cute thank you/anniversary file.

The circle word that I used says with much appreciation in a circle.  I cut it out an layered it, then put it on foam tape.  I added thank you to the bottom.  On the inside I will either write a message or use a happy anniversary stamp.

We used the cute Front Door Shaped Card for our The Cutting Cafe design team projects this week.  We could do fall or Halloween themes.  I chose to make a birthday card and add the sentiment ‘shut the front door’.

Happy Easter Shaker Card – Design Team Project for The Cutting Cafe

7 Apr
Happy Easter Shaker Card

Happy Easter Shaker Card

Hello Again!  I make a cute shaker card for my design team project for The Cutting Cafe.  I used the Happy Easter Overlay Template and added acetate, foam and sequins/seed beads/tiny shapes to create the shaker.

The file comes with the card base and a background piece so making a shaker was very easy.  You can also just use the overlay on top of the backing sheet, making it with maybe glitter paper or patterned paper.  Either way would be cute also.

Make sure you stop by The Cutting Cafe Blog.  We post design team projects on the 7th and 21st of each month.  Leave a comment and you just might win three free files of your choice in a random drawing to be held on the following design team posting.

Mini 3D Shadow Box Card

Mini 3D Shadow Box Card

It has been a while since I posted but I am slowly but surely coming back!  We moved and I haven’t fully unpacked my craft room yet.  But I am digging out things to do cards and projects for.

This card is a design team project for The Cutting Cafe.  It is the 3D Shadow Box Card Template and has many options, different shaped openings, layers, and sentiments.  I chose to alter the size and make it 3 x 3 inches so I can use it as part of a swap that my friend Scrapdaworld is hosting.

Here is the inside…

I added a glitter heart in the window but you can add pictures, sentiments, etc.  Also, if you keep the embellishments relatively flat, you can fold the card flat and put it in an envelope.

Reflection: My Favorite 2018 Project for The Cutting Cafe

21 Dec

Hello Everyone!  Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy Whatever You May Celebrate!  Since it is a busy time for everyone, for this posting of design team projects for The Cutting Cafe, we were asked to reshare our favorite project we did for 2018.

That is sort of a hard task for a creator of anything as everything you create tends to become your favorite of the moment.  I looked at my projects for this year and there were a few that I was going between as my favorite.  I was going to select two because I just could not decide.  But, without further ado, the project that I chose as my favorite this year is…

Typewriter Shaped Card

Typewriter Card

The typewriter card I created this summer for a staff person celebrating her 25th work anniversary was not my usual color palate but I loved the softness, but yet the sparkle of this card.  I made it with the Typewriter Shaped Card file.  To see my original post on this project, along with the video of it, click here.

Be sure to visit the Cutting Cafe Blog to see other team member’s favorites.   There may also be some new projects from the newer team members so you will have a mix of fantastic favorites along with some new favorites to view!
