This week we focused on Christmas Trees at The Cutting Cafe!  I used the 3D Christmas Tree Set and a plastic water globe from Michaels to make this cute little snow globe.  I loved the way it turned out!

Overview of Holiday Party Projects

I have been working hard and the photo above shows an overview of all the projects I worked on yesterday!  My husband’s organization is holding a holiday party and he came up with a cute idea for the door prize drawing.  He wanted to hang circles with people’s names on them on a tree.  I, of course, found an ornament file from the Silhouette Online store and made 160 of them for him!

Next he needed some cards for his office staff and board chair…

The cards were made with the Step Card TemplatesChristmas Ornament Fun, and Christmas Tree Trio Shaped Card files from The Cutting Cafe.

Then, I am doing a card-making session for people to make cards which will be given to a charity to hand out.  I decided to pre-cut shapes to use to make things a lot easier!  I used two of the files I just listed along with the Christmas Treat Box file to cut out shapes that will be used on card bases I bought from Michaels.

I made the rectangle and oval shapes myself in the Silhouette software.  I cut 135 rectangles and 135 of the other three shapes to be used with them.  Plus from the scraps I cut rectangles, strips, and banners people can use.  I also got stickers, stamps, ink, tape runners, and ribbon for them to use.  I will have to post pictures from the demo event.  Thanks for stopping by.  Here is my video…

Walking in the Winter Wonderland YouTube Hop

Christmas Noel Charger Plate

Christmas Noel Charger Plate

Today I am participating in the Walking in the Winter Wonderland You Tube hop, which is hosted by Tmika aka Scrapdaworld on YT!  For this project, I decided to something a little different so I altered a charger plate.  I used a wooden noel word and covered it in paper and added some glitter Snowtex on the word to give it a little dimension.

I covered the center with a  glitter paper and added a double row of silver pearls and a single row on the outside perimeter.  From there I just added flowers,  baubles, and glittered chipboard snowflakes.

Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box

Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box

Hello and happy holidays!  I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season.  This week we have started focusing on Christmas projects at The Cutting Cafe.  We had a few files to choose from but I chose this cute Christmas Shapes Milk Carton!  It was so easy to do and can hold different kinds of treats or just look cute on your desk or shelf for decoration.

I used old DCWV paper and chipboard snowflakes and tag.  The large snowflake at the top is a chipboard piece from last year’s dollar bin at Michaels which I sprayed with Heidi Swapp tinsel color spray and added additional bling.  I backed the cutout with silver glitter paper.  There are actually many different shaped cutouts you can choose from.  I like the way it turned out.  Here are a few more views…
