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…

Christmas Treat Bag Toppers and Hershey Kiss Bottoms
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…
Christmas Tree Treat Bag Topper Front
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.

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!

It’s milk cartons galore for The Cutting Cafe’s Design Team this week! We were asked to use one of three milk carton cutting files for our projects this time. These cute cartons can be used for candy, little embellishments, jewelry, or whatever you would like to put in them. I used the Halloween and Fall Milk Carton and I am just using it as a decoration for my desk at work for fall.
Front
The file comes together very quickly. If you don’t have an electronic cutting machine, you have the option of cutting by hand as the files all come in a PDF format.

For my project, I made the Sleigh Treat Box. We could choose any Christmas file we wanted to and I had not done this one and thought it would make a good gift for a co-worker during the holidays. You can fill it with candy or a gift card. The file comes with may layers to give you variety. It also comes with sentiment tags (I made my own from a stamp as my printer was not cooperating) and several sizes of a flower.Here are a few other views of it…

Both of these files are very nice for making little gifts for people as you can fill them with goodies and wrap them up in a clear bag and tie with ribbons. I added pearl and chinese braid trims as well as single pearls and a cherub.
