Hello All! It’s time for another design team project for The Cutting Cafe! This time we were to use the Sentiment Stems and Flower Tops Printable Stamp Set. This set has many variations of stems, some with words, some with designs. They come in two sizes and several ways, straight, curved, and wavy. The choices are many!

This project was easy to do and the sentiment stems and the sentiment just for you enhanced it well. Here is what the inside looks like…

This week for The Cutting Cafe design team, we worked with the Big Expression files which have both printable stamps and cutting elements to them.
There are four different ones and I used three of them using various techniques…

Bendi cards feature bands that bend or arc out from the base of a card. The ways that people decorate them are endless. You will see quite a variety of designs this week from the Design Team members of The Cutting Cafe as we used the Bendi – Bendy Card Template and Cutting File for our projects.
I stayed relatively simple for my birthday card. I just added flowers, a gold glittered branch piece, and an Anna Griffin layered sticker. I also added some acrylic bling dots and a crown which goes well with the queen for a day sentiment on the sticker.
Looking down on the card, you can see what the curved bands/flaps look like. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the card with the bands opened up. They essentially are flaps that tuck into slots on each side of the card, causing the bending of the flaps.
A look from the top shows the curved bands.
Here is another view…

I used the back to house my sentiment, but you could also put it on the inside.
A journaling card is used in back for the sentiment.

My friend Tmika who is Scrapdaworld on YouTube hosted another great swap featuring gift tags. I made a shaker window scene for my tag, including curtains, snow, and a deer.
Window Scene Tag
Back of tag
Basically we had to make a shaped tag using at least two embellishments and it had to have to and from on the back. I placed my tags on a matted card.
The deer is more visible in this picture.
Then, I bagged it in a clear bag and added a candy cane striped clothes pin with a snowflake added to it. In the back a bag of goodies is attached.
This is how the tags were packaged.
I really like how my tags came out and I hope the ladies in my swap group like them too. Thanks for stopping by. Here’s my video giving more details…

The focus of the projects for this post is the With Gratitude Printable Stamp Set. This file has over 70 images including many sentiments in square, round, and rectangle shapes, background images, and borders. Some come in color as well as black and white and some come in a couple different sizes.
There will be variety this week at The Cutting Cafe for the design team post as we could choose any file we wanted to work with! Since shaker cards are still very hot right now, I chose to do a candle shaped shaker card from the 6 Assorted Shaker Cards set. It came out great.

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…
