Apple Treat Box – The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

11 Sep
Apple Treat Box

Apple Treat Box

This week at The Cutting Cafe we had a back-to-school theme with a choice of files featuring apples, school busses, pencils and other school themed items.  We could use the Bus Shaped Card, the School Borders Printable Stamp Set, or the Apple Treat Box which I used.

This file is very easy and can be done easily by hand, so you do not need to have an electronic cutting machine.  That is one great thing about Regina’s files…they come in multiple formats including PDFs so that those without an an electronic cutter can still make beautiful items!

I used a cute orchard patterned paper, some bling leaves, bling mesh trim, and a woodgrain patterned ribbon.  I finished it with a rust color leaf, a gold bow and a thanks sentiment.   Here are a few other views:

Red and Zebra High Heel Shoe Birthday Card

Red and Zebra High Heel Shoe Birthday Card

It is high heeled shoe #2!  I just love this file and I had another friend celebrating a birthday.  But, she is a shoe lover and she loves black and white zebra with red.  So I just had to make this for her!  Besides, I just love this file.  It is from The Cutting Cafe and is the High Heel Shoe Shaped Card.  I know this file will get lots of use.  If you want to see more shoes, this was a design team project a couple weeks ago.  Click here to see the things the team came up with!   Below are a couple more pictures and be sure to watch the video for more details.  Thanks for stopping by!

High Heel Shoe Birthday Card The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

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…

We did have another file we could use this week and it is really cute too.  The Vintage Boot Shaped Card is really nice to make a shabby chic card with.  Well thanks for stopping by.  Be sure to head over to The Cutting Cafe Blog later on Wednesday afternoon for Inspiration Wednesday, where Regina will post all of this week’s design team projects.  Check out the video…

Valentine Birthday Flip Card

Valentine Birthday Flip Card

Valentine Birthday Flip Card

It is Inspiration Wednesday and time for a new project for The Cutting Cafe!  This week we could choose from any valentine file in the cafe to use.  I chose to use two files to create this card: The Square Flip Card Template and the This Cake is all Heart Printable Stamp Set. My aunt’s birthday is on Valentine’s Day so this card is for her.  The cake image is made of heart shapes and the inside sentiment, which comes with the printable stamp set, mentions both birthday and Valentine’s Day!  That was just perfect!  Be sure to stop over at the cafe later today to see all the latest design team projects!  Thanks for stopping by!

Tri-Fold Valentine Card for The Cutting Cafe Design Team Project

9 Jan

Today is Inspiration Day over at The Cutting Cafe!  That means new projects will be featured on the blog from the design team later on today.  I am excited to see all of the other designer’s projects!  This week we were given the task of using the Feb. 14 Printable Stamp Set.  I love all of the wonderful images in this file.  But because I used to do puzzles a lot, I was drawn to the puzzle images and used this for my project.  I also used one additional new file the Valentine’s Day Crossword Puzzle Printable Set and Colorbok paper and die cuts, K & Co. layered stickers, Spellbinders dies, and  a Martha Stewart Punch.  I also wrote the sentiment and inside middle copy.  Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit the blog for new inspiration!

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.
