Back2School...

Everybody needs a pencil!!

Hey there, welcome to my blog post for these 21st day of August for The Cutting Cafe!!  Today we are celebrating "Back to School" season!!  I used the Pencil Shaped Card Cutting File to create these mini pencil shaped note cards that can be added to your child's lunch box or book bag with an encouraging note for their day!!

This post comes at a bitter sweet time for me because my babies are no longer babies and I'm sad that I won't have a chance to put these cute little note cards in their lunch bags but.....#yolo...lol!!  

Check out some pics!
These cards measure about 4" x 1.5" so they are perfect for sharing in small places.  I heat embossed the sentiment in a glitter red embossing powder and used my punches to create the raised flower and stem.


The file also comes with an envelope which I sized down to fit my mini note cards and added a "just a note" sentiment to them.

Super cute project and I love how it turned out!!  Thank you for stopping by today and checking out my inspiration post for The Cutting Cafe!  Check out their blog and enter to win free files from the shop!!

Blessings & Craft Happiness,

Chauntelle

Season for Gift Giving

Hey my crafty friends!!  Today I'd like to share with you my design team post for The Cutting Cafe - December 21st post!!  This week was a free week....Christmas themed; which was perfect for the holiday season and opportunity to fill that "last minute" Christmas gift giving list! Do you know the farmer who had a dog??  What was his name??  BINGO!!  Oh, yes!! LOL!! Bingo was a favorite game of my family's when we were growing up; the song and the board game!  Well guess who has a Christmas BINGO game in their shop??   The Cutting Cafe does!!  Yes, yes and I just had to create one.  I plan to present the game at Christmas, pull it out for the family to play and give a gift to the winner(s)...I bought three gifts - the fourth gift will be the BINGO game set! This pdf file was super easy to print and cut for assemble.  I cut a 12x12 sheet of 3/4" circles on my cameo in green and red for the chips.  A box ...

Hey there everyone!!  Thanks for stopping by today!! Its that time of year, graduation celebrations all across the county!!  I'm so proud of everyone and want to wish each one prosperity in their future goals!!  Sooo, on that list of graduates......MY SON!! :o)  I love him so much and I'm very proud of him and his friends who will also be moving on to the next phase of life!!  Today's project for The Cutting Cafe is dedicated to THEM!!  This week's design team inspiration is brought to you using The Card in A Box Embellishment Set .  This card is super cute and can be easily made with or without the help of a cutting machine!! Although it is intended to fold to fit into an envelope, which Regina conveniently provides a cutting file for it, I popped out my card so much it will not fit in an envy (lol) but that's ok too!!  I think it would be really nice as a table centerpiece for the big grad party!! (hint, hint) Anywho.....checkout some pic...
