Birthday Purse Gift Card Holder

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 gift card goes on the front of the insert and you can add a note or any time of sentiments on the back.  I used two sentiment stamps from the Birthday Party Fun set…

Birthday Themed Chinese Take Out Box

Birthday Themed Chinese Take Out Box

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.

Altered Printer Tray Photo Display – The Cutting Cafe Shop Design Team Project

Printer Tray Elisha Jean & Friends

Printer Tray Photo Display

I am back with another project for The Cutting Cafe Shop, which is the sister store to The Cutting Cafe.  You can find the cute stamp set, Everyday Elisha Jean and Friends, that I am featuring there along with other stamp sets, paper, and embellishments.

I had some wallet photos from my goddaughter’s one-year-old photo shoot and wanted to display them in some way other than in an album.  I found a wood printer tray, painted it, added patterned paper, pictures, and embellishments.  The Elisha Jean stamps reminded me of her and how she wears her hair so I thought they would work in sweetly!

I am back with another project using the Everyday Elisha Jean Stamp Set from The Cutting Cafe Shop!  This time I used the Ruby J. friend a the focus.  I used bright colored paper and the Assorted Card Folds Set 2 – Fold with Circle Window from The Cutting Cafe.

I added clear cardstock (which is also available in The Cutting Cafe Shop) to the window. I made a larger oval and attached my fussy cut Ruby J. to it. In between I added flower sequins and pink seed beads and put together with foam tape.  I love how it came out!

Here is the insid…

Grad Word Album – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

Grad Word Album

Grad Word Album

Hello!  It is design team time for The Cutting Cafe!  This time we were given the opportunity to work with word or shape books.  There are many to choose from in the store but since graduation is coming and I have a cousin that is graduating, I chose the Grad Word Book.

It comes with the pages and the single letters to use on top as an additional layer.  I used his school colors and kept it simple enough so that he can put a few pictures from the day in it.  Here are a pictures of the inside…

Altered Notebook Featuring the Elisha Jean & Friends Stamp Set

4 May
Altered Notebook featuring Elisha Jean Stamp

Altered Notebook featuring Elisha Jean Stamp from The Cutting Cafe Shop

Today I am featuring the new clear stamp set, Everyday Elisha Jean & Friends, from The Cutting Cafe Shop which is the sister store to The Cutting Cafe.  Regina, the owner, has translated some of the printable stamps from the original store into clear stamps.  And when I tell you they stamp so smoothly it’s like butta, I really mean it.

I used a firework paper to cover the notebook, added bling, the word dream, and Elisha Jean, the cute doll stamp.  The sentiment also came from the set.  I paper pieced her dress, bows, and socks.

On the inside covers, I added pink glitter paper and stamped the dolls on every few pages…

I stamped the girls on every few pages. Here is the first one.

Super Twisted Note Card Swap

28 Mar
Super Twisted Note Card Swap

Cards and Envelope Box

My friend Tmika host great swaps all the time on YouTube. The latest one has us using techniques and embellishments.  The 3 x 3 cards had to have a combination of four or more things going on.  I used five techniques…dry embossing, distressing, texture paste stippling, glittering the texture paste, and splattering/ misting, and four embellishments…flowers, punches, twine, and a dazzle sticker.

Here is a close up of the card…

It’s Time for Green – Gift Card Holders – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

7 Mar
Gift Card Holders

Gift Card Holders

This time for our design team project for The Cutting Cafe, we could choose any file we wanted to.  However, we had to use the color green.  Since spring is coming and so is St. Patrick’s Day, green is very appropriate!  I had gift cards to give to staff for Employee Appreciation Day and wanted a cute and easy way to give them.  So I used the Gift Card and Money Holder Set.

Be sure to stop by The Cutting Cafe Blog and see all of the design team projects.  There will be plenty of variety for inspiration!  Leave a comment and you will be eligible to win three free files in a drawing on the next posting.

I also wanted to give another person at work a thank you gift card for his extra effort to get some projects done for me.  So I made a different one for him.

Thank You Gift Card Holder

Another version

These are very easy to make and can be decorated as much as you would like.  I have kept them fairly simple but imagine them adorned with flowers and bling!  Anyway, as always, here is a video of my project…
