Purse Shaped Treat Box and Card – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

21 Aug
Purse Shaped Treat Box and Card

Purse Shaped Treat Box and Card

Girly girl projects continue at The Cutting Cafe with purse project week!  YES!  I love purses, just like I love shoes!  And we had two files to work with that offer tons of options.  I used both.  The “C” background that I used to make the paper with comes in the Assorted Purse Boxes file that has about five or six purses and accessories.  The rest of my project comes in the Purse Shaped Card and Treat Box file.

There are several layers in this file.  I used the outline/shadow in black, the top in the “C” paper I made, the upper top and handle in a red croc print paper, and then I used the card base and the box base.  I added a tag cut from a sizzix die and layered a sentiment from the file on it.  I attached it with Tim Holtz ball chain to mimic a real Coach bag.  The sentiment in the card also comes in the file.

I love them!  I can’t wait to make more.  Here are more views…

High Heel Shoe Birthday Card The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

14 Aug
High Heel Shoe Birthday Card

High Heel Shoe Birthday Card

This week’s file from The Cutting Cafe was definitely up my alley!  I love shoes and purses (hint hint) and this High Heel Shoe Shaped Card is the bomb, the business (ode to Shanta), and just plain fantastic!  There are many layers and sentiments to help you make this your own.  I could make 50 of them and they would all end up looking very different depending on the layers I use and the papers.  Unfortunately, the picture does not really do it justice.  The card is just awesome and the person I gave it to most definitely thought so!

I used a black shimmer cardstock with lime green and silver polka dot glitter paper, and a light green for the base and insole.  I used some sunburst punches on the heel to give it a peek-a-boo effect and show some of the glitter paper.  I used a glitter flower and a ribbon slider and mint green half back pearl to finish the bows.  I absolutely love this card and will be making more of them very soon!  Here are a few more pics…

It is all about girls this week at The Cutting Cafe!  We used the All About Girls Printable Stamp Set this week and it is a lot of fun!  There are tons of great sentiments and there are also images of clothes and girly things!  I made this card for an 8-year-old who loves bling and glitter.  So there is a lot of it on this card!  I like the way it turned out though.  Here are a few more photos…

Dresser Box

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.

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

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…

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.  I used paper from the DCWV Natural stack and added glitter to the stripe on the lid.  I needed a birthday card and this one was perfect.

On the inside is a surprise.  It holds a gift card!
