Sentiment Stems and Flowers Photo Book

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…

Birthday Bendi Card – Design Team Project for The Cutting Cafe

21 Jan

Bendi Card

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.

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…

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.

You will find plenty of inspiration from our team and if you leave a comment, you will be eligible to win three files of your choice in a random drawing on the next design team post!

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.

I also used the Large Top Box template .

I used one of the treasure word definition sentiments on the front of the box.

I wanted the box to look great from both sides so I added another sentiment on the back…

I printed the circle printable background from the file and usedit to cut out the liner pieces of the box.

A great thing about the Large Top Box is that it adjusts to whatever you need to go in it as it slides to fit. Here is it with nothing in it…

When you add your goodies the top will just sit on top of your tallest item. Here is what I put in mine…

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

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…

Here is the video…

Next up, a card I made for my cousin’s 30th birthday…

And here is the quick video…

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!

Exploding Box for Sweet Nothings Stamp Company Design Team Call

27 Jan

Here is my first exploding box! Take the top off and the sides fall to reveal the inside design and message. I decided to do this for the design team call for Sweet Nothings Stamp Company, which is a digital stamp company. The image I used is Love Letter Sophie and I colored her with both Copic and Spectrum Noir markers. I have her popped up on a part of a doily.

For the box I used the new valentine line of paper from My Mind’s Eye called Lucky in Love and I used roses and metallic stickers from Michael’s. I added white trim and flat back pearl trim from my stash, and hot pink glitter ribbon from Michael’s. I thought the color combination was great and I really love the way it turned out. Thanks so much for visiting. Please feel free to follow on the right side of the screen!

My First Project for The Cutting Cafe Design Team – 2013 Alarm Clock Goal Calendar!

1 Jan

Well it is finally here…my debut project for The Cutting Cafe! Yea! I decided to do something for the new year and made a 2013 Alarm Clock Goal Calendar. You can write down a goal or two each month and make short notes on the progress on the monthly journal cards and they each have an encouraging sentiment. This project is made using several files from The Cutting Cafe that I will add links to below. I hope I do not put you in picture overload, but I just want to show it all. I really love my project.

My favorite color combination is black and gold so I went with that and white accents. I used metallic papers and sentiments from The Cutting Cafe files and a couple of my own I just typed out, some flowers misted with Perfect Pearls in iridescent Gold, and some square bling and a jewel brad.
