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.

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…

This week at The Cutting Cafe, we were all given just one file to work with.  The great news is that this one file is very versatile and has many versions to choose from.  The Valentine Window Card Tops Template has many variations of heart shape cutouts and words.  I used one of the may heart versions for a quick and easy birthday card for my aunt.  Here are some other views…

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…

Anniversary Card

Anniversary Card

It’s project time at The Cutting Cafe and this week we could choose any file we wanted to work with.  There are so many available, but before we move into Christmas projects, I decided to make an anniversary card for my aunt and uncle who are celebrating 34 years of marriage!

The Anniversary Shaped Word Card Template is a breeze to make.  I cut out a base in kraft cardstock, a topper in black and tan, and the word in tan with a gold metallic pattern.  I added sheer black ribbon, some flowers, and  a red glitter accent heart for love.  I also added dots on some of the letters with a Viva Decor pearl pen.  The sentiments from both outside and inside come with the file along with several others.
