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.

12 Jun

Classic Car Shaped Card

It is Wednesday and time for another Cutting Cafe design team project. This week’s theme…Father’s Day of course. We had wonderful files to work with this week. I chose to use the new Classic Car Shaped Card and it was so much fun to do! I absolutely love the shaped of the card, and all the trim that comes in the file. I chose to use silver metallic paper for all of the chrome and I added white-walled tires! The possibilities are endless with this file because there are so many pieces.

The other files we could use were the Shirt and Tie Cutting File Template Shaped Card, and the Cruisin’ by to Say Hi Car Set Printable Stamps.

Items for Hubby’s Board of Directors Celebration and Other Projects

21 May

This past week I worked on several projects. So let’s start with the biggest project first.

Items For Husband’s Board Celebration

Hubby asked me to make a card for a Board member who won the national volunteer of the year award for the organization he works for. The card evolved into a card, place cards with the Chicago skyline, a mailbox with the skyline and note cards for the other Board members to write notes of thanks to the award recipient, and a certificate. Everything turned out nicely and his Board loved them, but more importantly, he loved them! Here are some individual pictures…

Here is the video…

Next up, a card I made for my cousin’s 30th birthday…

And here is the quick video…

And, lastly, I have a couple of additions to the baby shower items I made. I created a money holder, which I used as a holder for a certificate for a custom mini album I will make for the baby, and a gift card holder. Both are from the Word Gift Card and Money Holders Template Cutting File from The Cutting Cafe. I loved the way they turned out!

This week for The Cutting Cafe design team, the theme was coffee. We had three files we could choose from and I used two of the three. First I used a newer file, The Coffee Cup Shaped Card 2, then I added a sentiment from the Got Coffee Printable Stamp Set.
