Shirt and Tie Father’s Day Card

For my design team project for The Cutting Cafe this week, I used two files, The Shirt and Tie Cutting File and the Different Ways to Say Dad Background Printable Stamp.  I added buttons and metal paper clips that say love you.  The pocket and hankie are part of the file.

I think it came out adorable. Be sure to stop by the blog and see all the design team projects.  This week we could use whatever files we wanted to so there will be quite a variety.  Here are pics of the inside and back.  I used an Anna Griffin die for the Dad on the inside.

Elisha Jean and Friends Embellishments – The Cutting Cafe Shop Design Team Project

Everyday Elisha Jean and Friends Embellishments 2

Embellishments using just the faces

I am back with a new design team project for The Cutting Cafe Shop!  I made some cute embellishments using the Everyday Elisha Jean and Friends stamp set.  I used the whole doll stamps on some and just the faces on others.

I used scraps from recent projects along with some stickers and foam squares. I have seen many videos making embellishments and decided to try some.  I had fun making them and will make more in the future as it is a good way to use up scraps and use your punches.

And lastly, I made paper clips which are all the rage these days with the planner craze and the popularity of flip books.

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

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!

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…

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.

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…
