Wine Bottle Shaped Thank You Card and Gift Tags – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

Wine Bottle Thank You Card and Gift Tags

My husband’s organization was having an end of year celebration for their current Board of Directors. The event had a wine tasting and the board gifts were insulated wine bags. So he asked if I could make a thank you card for the outgoing Board Chair shaped like a wine bottle, and tags to put on each gift. I was able to do what he asked with the help of The Cutting Cafe! This week for my design team post, I used the Wine bottle Shaped Card.

I enlarged it for the card and put two of them together to make it a tri-fold card to allow enough room for all the board members to sign it.

On the label, I used the organization logo. I also used a sentiment from the card on the neck of the bottle and cork paper for the cork.

I used the same file to make small tags that he used to hang from the gifts given to them.

Wine Bottle Gift Tags

My hubby wanted to give the outgoing chair something other than just a plain card. He asked if I could make a 3D wine bottle and he could add a note on the back label. I found this file and made this bottle which is actually a box, but I glued it shut and put glitter tape over the opening which is where the label starts. This file was not from The Cutting Cafe but I think it went well with my Cutting Cafe projects.

A Visit From My Friend and Some Shabby Chic Boxes

13 May

Hello! Last weekend my friend Tmika…Scrapdaworld on YouTube…came to visit. It was a great weekend of shopping, crafting, and just hanging out! Here we are before we hit the stores…

Of course Tmika came bearing gifts. She made some awesome handmade embellishments and brought me animal print papers to craft with since I love animal prints! But she also made and brought me what became our theme of the weekend…a shabby chic box and it is lovely…

Then we attended a Prima Class taught by Frank Garcia. Here is the shabby chic box and tag mini album we created in class…

And lastly, I made a little shabby chic box to give to Tmika with some crafting goodies…

We had such a great weekend! Thanks Tmika and I can’t wait to do it again! Be sure to check her channel out on YouTube if you have not done so before. She is an awesome crafter!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Minnie Mouse Themed First Birthday Party

22 Mar

My god daughter has turned one year old! It is hard to believe it. That time flew by! I looked at many blogs and websites to research Minnie Mouse parties and came up with a multitude I liked. I was able to find a cake that both her mom and I liked, as well as free downloads that others openly shared. As a result, we celebrated last night with family, decked out with Minnie!

I first started with an invitation. I used a free printable and SVG file from Sherry K. Designs (see the file) and cut the head and bow out. I layered it on top of a black card base, pink paper, and fuschia polkadot paper. The personalized label came from The Cutting Cafe and is called the Baby Girl First Birthday Colored Tags/Toppers. The inside invite page is from Catch My Party and was also a free set.

Next I made a banner to hang…

My husband can wrap gifts like no one’s business. Here is one of the gifts he wrapped, using things he swiped from my crafting stash…

We got her a lot of clothes so hubby wrapped each outfit separately and they went into a large gift bag…

Wrapped Items for Gift Bag

Of course I had to make the perfect card to go with the gifts and used the Dress Shaped Card 2 from The Cutting Cafe along with another version of the customize tag used on the invitations …

After looking at a lot of blogs about Minnie Mouse parties, I found a cake I loved at Plus One Blog. Ours looked very close to it.

We also had a cake for her to smash…

Fun With Blocks Countdown Calendar – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

19 Feb

Countdown Calendar

This week at The Cutting Cafe, we had a fun file to spark our creative juices. The Fun With Blocks file is so versatile and come with so many different options and variations! The possibilities are just endless! Make sure you check out all the design team projects on the blog on Wednesday afternoon or Thursday. Be sure to leave a comment as you just might win three free files in next week’s drawing!

I chose to make a countdown calendar with the file. The blocks are numbered on each side. You can countdown to anything, a birthday, vacation, anniversary, etc. All you do is move the blocks to show the numbers you need and go down a number each day. I made it in a spring color since I am REALLY wanting spring to be here now. Of course it is blinged out with mesh bling trim and glitter letters. The sentiment says everything you can imaging is real. I thought that would give me motivation for the countdown…whatever the countdown will be! Here are a couple other views…

Handmade Embellishment Box with Flower Headband – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

12 Feb

Handmade Embellishment Box and Flower Headband

It is time for another design team project from The Cutting Cafe! I needed a little gift for my god daughter’s first Valentine’s Day. So I made a flower headband and packaged it in the Handmade Embellishment Box from The Cutting Cafe, which happened to be one of our project file choices this week.

I used black cardstock for the box and a pink patterned paper for the back or hanger part. I used old product packaging for the window and added embellishments. The bow is from the Bow Tie and Ribbon Set file, also from The Cutting Cafe.

The back is patterned as the paper was double-sided which gives a nice finish. I love the hanger cut out as if you are making things for a store or a craft fair, you can package little items in this box. Below is the headband.

Handmade Flower Headband

I used gorgeous pink and black lace from Elegant Embellishments on Zibbet, and a handmade flower that my friend Tmika aka Scrapdaworld on YouTube had on a package she gave me. I added some little pearls around the center and put the flower on a stretch ribbon to make the headband.

I love the way it turned out. Please head over to The Cutting Cafe Blog to see all of the design team projects for this week. Other files we could use were the Paper Beads file with the Jewelry Holder file. Also, when you visit, leave a comment. You will be entered in a drawing next week to win three free files of your choice! Before you go, thank you for stopping by and here is my video…

Walking in the Winter Wonderland YouTube Hop

6 Dec

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.

Several on the hop are giving away some prizes, including me! Here is by giveaway package:

Pizza Box Birthday Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

6 Nov

: Pizza Box Card

This week we used the new Pizza Box Template file for our projects for The Cutting Cafe and it is so cute! It can be cut out plain or with a window and it comes with multiple inserts to divide the box. The file makes a great small gift box or you can do something different like I did…

: Happy Birthday Pop Up

I added a happy birthday pop up to the inside and there you have it…a birthday card. I have been into doing non-traditional cards lately so this one fits right in!

For more info on my project, see the video below. Also, visit The Cutting Cafe Blog to see all the other design team member projects. Make sure to leave a comment so you can be in the drawing to win three free files.

1st Grade Leaf Scrapbook Project

4 Nov

One of the children that has my heart had a project for his 1st grade class. He had to make a leaf scrapbook to put many different leaves in and label them. He needed to find leaves and do the writing. The scrapbook itself could be decorated in any way and they encouraged family involvement so his mom ask me to help since she is not crafty with paper.

I did some simple pages to allow him space to put the leaves on it and label them. I also gave him some acrylic leaves to use to add accents to the pages. I just thought I would share the pages. Most were two page spreads but I am only showing one of most of them here. Thanks for stopping by!
