Valentine Bingo Altered Canvas

Valentine Bingo Altered Canvas

Valentine’s Day is in the air…at least at The Cutting Cafe!  This week starts our valentine projects.  I chose to do an altered canvas with a photo of my god brother and my dog that he loves so much!  I used the Valentine’s Day Bingo Printable Stamps Set.  I used a background paper that has the bingo numbers on it, randomly added some texture paste, and some embellishments.  I love the way it turned out.

Here are a few more views…

Holiday Party Cards, Door Prize Tags, and Card Making Event With Cutting Cafe Files

Overview of Holiday Party Projects

Overview of Holiday Party Projects

I have been working hard and the photo above shows an overview of all the projects I worked on yesterday!  My husband’s organization is holding a holiday party and he came up with a cute idea for the door prize drawing.  He wanted to hang circles with people’s names on them on a tree.  I, of course, found an ornament file from the Silhouette Online store and made 160 of them for him!

Next he needed some cards for his office staff and board chair…

The cards were made with the Step Card Templates, Christmas Ornament Fun, and Christmas Tree Trio Shaped Card files from The Cutting Cafe.

Then, I am doing a card-making session for people to make cards which will be given to a charity to hand out.  I decided to pre-cut shapes to use to make things a lot easier!  I used two of the files I just listed along with the Christmas Treat Box file to cut out shapes that will be used on card bases I bought from Michaels.

I made the rectangle and oval shapes myself in the Silhouette software.  I cut 135 rectangles and 135 of the other three shapes to be used with them.  Plus from the scraps I cut rectangles, strips, and banners people can use.  I also got stickers, stamps, ink, tape runners, and ribbon for them to use.  I will have to post pictures from the demo event.  Thanks for stopping by.  Here is my video…

Walking in the Winter Wonderland YouTube Hop

6 Dec
Christmas Noel Charger Plate

Christmas Noel Charger Plate

Today I am participating in the Walking in the Winter Wonderland You Tube hop, which is hosted by Tmika aka Scrapdaworld on YT!  For this project, I decided to something a little different so I altered a charger plate.  I used a wooden noel word and covered it in paper and added some glitter Snowtex on the word to give it a little dimension.

I covered the center with a  glitter paper and added a double row of silver pearls and a single row on the outside perimeter.  From there I just added flowers,  baubles, and glittered chipboard snowflakes.

Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

3 Dec
Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box

Christmas Snowflake Milk Carton Box

Hello and happy holidays!  I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas season.  This week we have started focusing on Christmas projects at The Cutting Cafe.  We had a few files to choose from but I chose this cute Christmas Shapes Milk Carton!  It was so easy to do and can hold different kinds of treats or just look cute on your desk or shelf for decoration.

I used old DCWV paper and chipboard snowflakes and tag.  The large snowflake at the top is a chipboard piece from last year’s dollar bin at Michaels which I sprayed with Heidi Swapp tinsel color spray and added additional bling.  I backed the cutout with silver glitter paper.  There are actually many different shaped cutouts you can choose from.  I like the way it turned out.  Here are a few more views…

Also, a design team call is open.  If you would like to be a part of the team, here is the information.  You have until December 15th!  Good luck!

Anniversary Word Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

27 Nov
Anniversary Card

Anniversary Card

It’s project time at The Cutting Cafe and this week we could choose any file we wanted to work with.  There are so many available, but before we move into Christmas projects, I decided to make an anniversary card for my aunt and uncle who are celebrating 34 years of marriage!

The Anniversary Shaped Word Card Template is a breeze to make.  I cut out a base in kraft cardstock, a topper in black and tan, and the word in tan with a gold metallic pattern.  I added sheer black ribbon, some flowers, and  a red glitter accent heart for love.  I also added dots on some of the letters with a Viva Decor pearl pen.  The sentiments from both outside and inside come with the file along with several others.

This week at The Cutting Cafe we got to use a very versatile file…The Step Card Template File.  This file contains five different versions of the step card.  The hard part was to choose which one to use.  I couldn’t choose so I kept making them.  I have three of the versions here for you.

This week we used the new Pizza Box Template file for our projects for The Cutting Cafe and it is so cute!  It can be cut out plain or with a window and it comes with multiple inserts to divide the box.  The file makes a great small gift box or you can do something different like I did…
