Birthday Bendi Card – Design Team Project for The Cutting Cafe

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.

Christmas Ornament Treat Cup – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

7 Dec

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!

Side View

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.

This is very easy to make and the card versions are also easy to do. You can make these without an electronic cutting machine as they come in PDF versions also!

Christmas/Winter Themed Shaped Tag Swap

24 Nov

My friend Tmika who is Scrapdaworld on YouTube hosted another great swap featuring gift tags. I made a shaker window scene for my tag, including curtains, snow, and a deer.

Window Scene Tag

Back of tag

Basically we had to make a shaped tag using at least two embellishments and it had to have to and from on the back. I placed my tags on a matted card.

The deer is more visible in this picture.

Then, I bagged it in a clear bag and added a candy cane striped clothes pin with a snowflake added to it. In the back a bag of goodies is attached.

This is how the tags were packaged.

I really like how my tags came out and I hope the ladies in my swap group like them too. Thanks for stopping by. Here’s my video giving more details…

I wanted the box to look great from both sides so I added another sentiment on the back…

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…

Altered Pill Bottles and Pocket Tags for Crafty Meet Up Weekend

26 Aug

This past Thursday through Sunday , I hosted some of my friends that I met through YouTube! Scrapdaworld/Tmika, Gemzisle/Sheryl, and Scrap Elegance/Katryce came to visit and we had a blast! On Friday, Tmika, Sheryl, and I went to the Scrapbook Expo is Schaumberg, IL . We met up with three other YouTubers, two Elizabeths and an Amy! We had a blast with them!

Tmika, Sheryl, and I decided to make things for each other as we have in the past. Katryce decided to come later, but I made one for her also. We did tags instead of cards and altered pill bottles! I let the ladies fill their bottles up with resin pieces so they were happy. Here are some pictures…

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

7 Aug

It 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…
