Hello all! This week for The Cutting Cafe design team, I used the Sewing Machine Set which contains a card and a box version. I made two thank you cards, appropriate for any time but especially now.
I really like the way they turned out. Here are individual pictures…

Hey all! Christmas is just about a month and a half away! Where did 2016 go? It was just summer!!! Well it is time to get started making those little gifts for family, friends, co-workers, etc.! The Cutting Cafe has the perfect new file to help you out with treat giving.
The Gable Box file come with a lot of variety so that you can customize your box for the occasion. There are windows that come in different shapes, some have words in the window. You can choose straight edge or scalloped edge. There are toppers you can add.
I made the plain box in white and used a black/gold/white paper for the topper pieces, then added a sentiment from the paper stack, and finally added a HUGE gold poinsettia clip that is just over the top! The recipient can take the clip off and use it for decor or add to a package of their own.
Here is a view of it without the poinsettia…

I see a lot of these in my future as the larger size can hold little gifts and the mini ones can be used for little candy gifts or favors. Here is one more view with the huge flower…

Today for The Cutting Cafe, the design team worked on things for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I know a couple people, including a former co-worker, Molly, and my cousin Kim who have both just beat breast cancer and I am very happy for both of them! It takes a lot of prayer and support for a person to make it through and these two are living proof that survival does happen and that God has the last word!
I used the kiss bottoms as sentiments on the card and added glittered scallops and half back pearls. On the back, I added a reminder…
On the back I added a reminder to fight!

Hello there! It has been a month since I posted anything! I am sorry for the wait! But today I have two cute milk cartons I made for The Cutting Cafe‘s Design Team! These will house goodies for my god children. I used the Halloween and Fall Milk Carton cutting file. The file comes with several cut outs. I used the leaf and the pumpkin and added acetate to the window cutout.

My god son is nine and absolutely hates glitter so I still had to bling his up, just with acrylic pieces…
This one is for my god son

My god daughter is 3 1/2 and loves glitter! So for hers, I used glitter paper and some glittered embellishments…

What is a blessings book? When you are facing challenges or feeling sad, it is a place to write down the blessings you have received in your life so you can remind yourself that if God blessed you once, He can bless you again!

I used the top and the back of the treat cup and backed it with white chip board. I added an easel on the back.

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 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…
Hello all! I am a couple of days late posting my design team project for The Cutting Cafe, but it is too cute not to share! This week we could choose any file we wanted to but we had to super-size it, that is, make it larger.
I took the frame from the Polaroid and Camera Fun Set and made it 10″ x 11 3/4″ so it could hold a 8″ x 10″ picture. I also used my new custom stamp, Fantabulous, from The Cutting Cafe Shop. I added some die cuts, a rosette, and some stickers and I love it.
I added easels to the back.
Make sure you check out The Cutting Cafe Blog as there are some terrific super-sized projects to see! Leave a comment and you just might win three files of your choice in a drawing for those who left comments.
Thanks so much for watching and here is a video of my project…
The Cutting Cafe Shop is the sister store to The Cutting Cafe. The shop sells paper, ribbon, and stamp sets like the Birthday Party Background one that I have used here. I stamped it with Staz On ink onto clear cardstock, which is also sold at the shop. I used white paper to better show the stamp but here is what it looks like without it…
This shows the window in the box without the white card that I used to help show the words better.
The actual box is made with the Chinese Take Out Box cutting template. This can hold candy or a little gift. And it is quick and easy to do! I just added flowers on the sides but you can attach a handle using brads as the file even cuts the holes for you to use.
I added a flower to the side but you can attach a handle to each side if you choose.
