Baby Boy Large Gift Bag – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

Baby Boy Large Gift Bag

This week at The Cutting Cafe, we used the Large Gift Bag file. I chose to use it for a baby mini album I am making for my staff person who recently had a baby. Previous post show the baby shower favors and this bag goes along with the theme of those items. It is somewhat simple but I did not want to over embellish it, but just wanted something to give the book to her in. When I add a cute handle and tissue paper it will be beautiful.

I reinforced the bottom with heavy cardstock. It is cut out in white cardstock and covered with patterned papers. I used teddy bear ribbon to trim the top and bottom along with some organza ribbon on the bottom. The little one is part of the file options.

Even though it is for a boy, I did use my favorite glitter tape on the edges!

Dresser Box – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

10 Jul

Dresser Box

This week for The Cutting Cafe, the theme was boxes! We had a choice of three files to work with, the Card Organizer Box, the Copic Box, and the Dresser Box which I used. This file was so fun. I decided to try giving it a masculine feel but I am going to make another one and really girlie it up! Here are a couple more views…

I used a specialty paper (really it is plastic) from Michaels to cover the box and drawers. The knobs are from balsa boxes from Michaels. I actually made the little lamp from a file from SVG Files. I just shrunk it down to 30% of the original size and that worked perfectly! The mirror is Tim Holtz’s mirror paper. It works like a charm.

Sunshine Birthday Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

6 Feb

Even though it is February and there is snow in my area, Spring is in the air at The Cutting Cafe! This week the design team was given a choice of Spring files to work with. Be sure to visit the Cafe Blog Wednesday afternoon to see all the wonderful design team projects.

Since I had not done a word shaped card before, I took the opportunity to try out the Sunshine Shaped Card Template file. It was easier than I thought.

Sunshine Birthday Card made with the Sunshine Shaped Card file from The Cutting Cafe

I hand cut the word as well as the card background (easy to do without an electronic cutting machine). I used grey card stock for the the actual card and layered the word in paper from DCWV’s Lemon Flower stack. I used a chipboard sun and printed the sentiment out on my computer and punched it out with a circle punch. Then, I just added flowers, a ribbon bow, and flat back pearls and there you have it a lovely card. Thanks for stopping by and feel free to sign up to follow by email to the right of the screen!
