All About You Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

7 Jul
All About You Card

All About You Card

It is time for another project for The Cutting Cafe!  Regina created the A-Z Letter Set which consists of two cards for each of the alphabet, one folded like I used and one shaped like the letter.  This set is versatile because you can use the overlay letters by themselves for other projects.  You can also purchase the letters individually if you’d like.

All About You Card Angle View

I used the letter A and a sentiment that says all about you.  The person who this is for also has a name that starts with the letter A so it works out perfectly.  I used black cardstock as the base.  Added and overlay A out of striped sparkle paper, flowers that have been sprayed and stickled, a butterfly, and a bling flourish.  I also used some rick rack and a button and resin rose to accent the sentiment.  Here is a close up…

Lastly, I added an orange shimmer paper to the inside where I will attach a photo and a note…

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

19 Jun
Wine Bottle Thank You Card and Gift Tags

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.

Wine Bottle Thank You Card Opened

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.

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.

Cross Shaped Bible Verse Card

This week at The Cutting Cafe we focused on Easter.  I used the Bible Easter Verses Printable Stamp Set and I paired it with the Cross Shaped Card Set.  I used a lavender card stock and a shade lighter paper for the inside.  I topped the cross with white glitter paper and added a red glitter heart.

I printed the verse on white paper and put it on top of a rectangle Spellbinder cutout that I popped up on foam dots.

Flower Pot Shaped Card 2

 

We are thinking Spring at The Cutting Cafe! This week we had two files to choose from, The Flower Pot Shaped Card which I used and the Sentiment Stems and Flower Top Printable Stamp Set. I really liked making this flower pot shaped card.

Green Birthday Cards – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

Birthday Cards

Birthday Cards

This week at The Cutting Cafe, we focused on the color green and could use any files we chose. I pulled out some of my tools, like Spellbinders dies and some punches, that I had not used in a while to make birthday cards that showcase a couple of the many printable stamp sets available from the shop. I used the Birthday Fun Printable Stamp Set and the Birthday Greetings Inside and Out Printable Stamp Set.

For the first card, I used both sets.  The cake image is from Birthday Fun and the sentiment is from the greetings set.

Hourglass Birthday Shaker Card

We are shaking up some fun at The Cutting Cafe this week with a whole new line of shaker cards!  There are 13 different versions and you can find them all here!  I used the hourglass version to make a 50th birthday card for a friend.  Of course I used black and gold for the honor!  I kept the card very simple in hopes of making the shaker 50 and the hourglass the focal points.

Here are a few more pictures…

Craft Room Name Plate – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

Craft Room Name Plate 

I have wanted to make a name sign for my craft room and videos for a year now!  Well this week for my design team project for The Cutting Cafe, I used two wonderful new files to help me do so.  The Paper Flower Set and the Layered Flowers Set are two files Regina created to help all of us make some gorgeous flowers.  The layered set also includes some great cards!  My friend Tmika aka Scrapdaworld on YouTube also did a video to show you how to put the flowers together.  You can view it here.

I used the Paper Flower Set for the rose and the Layered Flowers Set for all the other flowers.  They were really easy to do!  Plus you can make them larger or smaller as there are many sizes in each file.  Plus Regina always makes the files in PDFs so anyone can use them by hand cutting the components.

Craft Room Name Plate Corner Flower Cluster

I love how you can make the flower as many or as few layers as you choose which also gives you more variety.  I layered them in many ways and added zebra bling or pearls in the centers.  Here are a few more views…

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

Countdown Calendar

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…
