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.

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…
Christmas Tree Treat Bag Topper Front
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.

This week’s project for The Cutting Cafe is made from the Christmas Treat Cup Cards file, but this is a bonus ornament that is not a card! It is so cute and I can see many thing other than an ornament. If you add some hands and numbers around the rim, it could be a clock!
Side View
It has a nice depth to it so you can get a good number of treats in it. You can use resin pieces like I did or you can add candy or nuts also.
The back has a slide up tab to allow the goodies to come out.
This is very easy to make and the card versions are also easy to do. You can make these without an electronic cutting machine as they come in PDF versions also!

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.

The design team at The Cutting Cafe is shaking things up this week with fall and Halloween shaker cards! There are so many to choose from. Just take a look here and here!
I chose the Pumpkin Shaker Card Template version to use. I put the shape on a card, but you can also make the whole card pumpkin shaped.
I love the fall colors of this and the shaker has flower and leaf shaped sequins and gold microbeads. I decorated the inside too.

It’s milk cartons galore for The Cutting Cafe’s Design Team this week! We were asked to use one of three milk carton cutting files for our projects this time. These cute cartons can be used for candy, little embellishments, jewelry, or whatever you would like to put in them. I used the Halloween and Fall Milk Carton and I am just using it as a decoration for my desk at work for fall.

The file comes together very quickly. If you don’t have an electronic cutting machine, you have the option of cutting by hand as the files all come in a PDF format.
