For this project for The Cutting Cafe design team, we worked with the Fun With Rosettes file. It has the option to make various sized rosettes and with a straight or scalloped edge. I also used the Gift Card Holder Set file.

My Steampunk version of the Our Daily Bread Designs Timeless Tote and Wallet Dies
I am in the Steampunk Fantasy Collaboration with Poetspice on YouTube, which runs from July 25 through August 29, 2018. I am usually a clean and simple crafter but like the steampunk genre and have a good stash of steampunk paper, stamps, and embossing folder and thought this would be a great way to use some of my stash. I also have had the Timeless Tote and Petite Wallet die sets from Our Daily Bread Designs for a couple months and have not had a chance to play with it. So, why not a steampunk version of the purse? This is how it came out…

The response from my YouTube video and my Instagram post on this has been wonderful and people love it. I am humbled by the response! So I decided to share it here. I hope you like it and thank you for stopping by. Before you go, here is the video…
First, one of my staff is turning 65. I needed a card large enough for everyone in my department to sign, so I made a scalloped card base that is 9″x7″. I added an embossed panel and holographic gold dot stickers, but wanted the focal point to be the Birthday Number Candles!
I kept the inside plain since many people will be signing it…

Next, I will be giving her a gift card so I wanted something separate for that. I kept the theme the same with the tone on tone white shimmer paper with gold. I used gold Dazzle stickers to add accents.

I am loving this cute gift card holder I made! I used two stamp sets from The Cutting Cafe Shop, which is the sister store to The Cutting Cafe. On the front, I stamped the cardstock with the Birthday Party Background stamp and the make a wish sentiment is from the Birthday Party Fun stamp set. The base is cut from gold metallic paper. Here is the back…

The additional element to this is the insert that holds the gift card…

The gift card goes on the front of the insert and you can add a note or any time of sentiments on the back. I used two sentiment stamps from the Birthday Party Fun set…

I really liked the way this came out and it is a quick and easy way to give a gift.

The stamp set are so nice. The shop carries several now but you can also have custom stamps made. You can have your artwork transformed into your own stamps! Anyway, thanks for stopping by. As always here is a video for you…
For our design team projects this week for The Cutting Cafe, we got to work with clear cardstock, which is something that is carried in the new sister store The Cutting Cafe Shop.
I used the Mini Heart Lunch Bag and love the way it turned out! I also made the Bow Tie with a Slit out of the clear cardstock to decorate the front. Here are more pictures…

This time for our design team project for The Cutting Cafe, we could choose any file we wanted to. However, we had to use the color green. Since spring is coming and so is St. Patrick’s Day, green is very appropriate! I had gift cards to give to staff for Employee Appreciation Day and wanted a cute and easy way to give them. So I used the Gift Card and Money Holder Set.

I also wanted to give another person at work a thank you gift card for his extra effort to get some projects done for me. So I made a different one for him.
Another version
These are very easy to make and can be decorated as much as you would like. I have kept them fairly simple but imagine them adorned with flowers and bling! Anyway, as always, here is a video of my project…
