Birthday Bendi Card – Design Team Project for The Cutting Cafe

21 Jan
Birthday Bendi Card

Bendi Card

Bendi cards feature bands that bend or arc out from the base of a card.  The ways that people decorate them are endless.  You will see quite a variety of designs this week from the Design Team members of The Cutting Cafe as we used the Bendi – Bendy Card Template and Cutting File for our projects.

I stayed relatively simple for my birthday card.  I just added flowers, a gold glittered branch piece, and an Anna Griffin layered sticker.  I also added some acrylic bling dots and a crown which goes well with the queen for a day sentiment on the sticker.

Looking down on the card, you can see what the curved bands/flaps look like.  Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the card with the bands opened up.  They essentially are flaps that tuck into slots on each side of the card, causing the bending of the flaps.

A look from the top shows the curved bands.

Here is another view…

I used the back to house my sentiment, but you could also put it on the inside.

A journaling card is used in back for the sentiment.

Merry Christmas just a bit early!  If you are looking for a last minute cute little gift, these Treat Bag Toppers from The Cutting Cafe will fit the bill!  This file is packed with variations galore!  It has two size bags, with or without a window, and 17 different topper options!  I am showing you three but I am making 30 for staff and co-worker gifts!

Here is the tree version…

There are overlays in the file, which the tree is cut from a different color.  I chose only to put one on the front.

Here is the back.

One could be added to the back if you wanted to which would cover up the part that folds down in the back.

I also used the Christmas Hershey Kiss Bottoms Printable Stamp set on the kisses I filled the bag with.

Christmas Ornament Treat Cup – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

Ornament Treat Cup

Ornament Treat Cup

This week’s project for The Cutting Cafe is made from the Christmas Treat Cup Cards file, but this is a bonus ornament that is not a card! It is so cute and I can see many thing other than an ornament.  If you add some hands and numbers around the rim, it could be a clock!

It has a nice depth to it so you can get a good number of treats in it.  You can use resin pieces like I did or you can add candy or nuts also.

The back has a slide up tab to allow the goodies to come out.

The focus of the projects for this post is the With Gratitude Printable Stamp Set.  This file has over 70 images including many sentiments in square, round, and rectangle shapes, background images, and borders.  Some come in color as well as black and white and some come in a couple different sizes.

I also used the Large Top Box template .

I used one of the treasure word definition sentiments on the front of the box.

I printed the circle printable background from the file and usedit to cut out the liner pieces of the box.

A great thing about the Large Top Box is that it adjusts to whatever you need to go in it as it slides to fit.  Here is it with nothing in it…

When you add your goodies the top will just sit on top of your tallest item.  Here is what I put in mine…

Post It Notes Box Set – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

7 Aug

Post It Note BoxIt is time for another project for The Cutting Cafe!  This time we had two files we could choose from, The Mini Note Pad and Card Set Printable Stamp Set or The Post It Note Box and Cover Set which I used.  The file comes with covers for the Post It Notes, a couple versions of a belly band that you can add, plus labels.  I love how it turned out.  It will make a cute little gift for someone.

Make sure you visit The Cutting Cafe Blog on the 7th and 21st of each month as our design team projects are posted those dates.  Leave a comment and you will be entered into a drawing to win three files of your choice!  Plus we love reading your comments!

I had paper in my stash that was double-sided and the color combo was a bit different so I thought I might as well pull something old out to use it.  The red with white circles used on the label on the front is the other side of the pink paisley paper.  So the inside is finished instead of just being white.

Here are a few different views…
