No problem, you can print out the pdf files and cut with scissors!! Check out below for more details on how I pulled each piece together.  Hope you enjoy and Happy Holidays!! Chauntelle                                         Santa's hat and glasses!!  I used some matching papers to embellish the hat and some flat-back rhinestones to embellish the glasses here, I think that finished them off quite nicely!!

Good morning everybody!!  Welcome back to my blog today for a project share from The Cutting Cafe !!  Today we are doing something super special; we're having a blog hop!  Blog hops are super fun and gives you links to see many, many projects in one place at one time without having to search all over the place to find inspiration!!  You should be coming to me from Patti Gilliam  wasn't her project just lovely!!  OK, to create my project I used a combination of files which is quite easy to do with most of the files over at The Cutting Cafe!!  For my project I used The Stationary Box Set and the Monogram Set.    In this set you get everything you need to create some beautiful boxes (with or without a window); envelope maker template and monograms from A to Z with different shapes & designs!! There is also a blank monogram so you can customize it to your liking!!  Want to see more about how I made this project? Check out my video ...

It's been a while since I've been here but today I want to share a card I made for a special young man so dear!!  He helps me out around the house and some times just comes by to hang out!  I love this little guy with all things 💖 and thank God for sending him my way!  Today's project is a graduation card I made using the BINGO Set from The Cutting Cafe and I really love how it turned out!! There are several files for many different occasions of BINGO boards but what I loved most was blank board so I could customize it to fit my needs.  I created my BINGO card using my Silhouette software, this awesome graduation card for him is what I came up with: Because I used my software and the blank BINGO card I was able to insert images and letters to suit my needs,  ironically the words "CONGRATS GRAD 2017" fit perfectly in the number of boxes provided plus I was able to create a "got BINGO" pattern using a grad cap!!  I did a diagonal BINGO patter...

Hey there, Chauntelle here, thanks for stopping by my blog today!! For this week's Cutting Cafe Post we were challenged to post some pics of our crafty space!!  What I've learned is this; although it doesn't take a large space to craft there is a definite need to keep things organized, otherwise it can get out of control!!  LOL!  So today I'd like to share with you two of my most "purchased" items and how I've chosen to store them.   My clear and rubber stamp collections in my mind are a little crazy!!  I love sentiment stamps, animal stamps, background stamps, cute stamps of people (I really love them all) lol.  This space is still under some construction, I'm trying to decide how to categories them (by company, by occasion, etc) but for the most part they are all here and somewhat organized.   Some of the draws are labeled on the outside already but the ones on the right I know what's in them.... The Cutting Cafe Shop happens to have its...

Hahaha, hey there!  Chauntelle here!  Loving the title of this post and still laughing as I type this text because I am a F*A*N of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street!!  He is my guy!!  hahaha Anywho, I think I'm good now so on to my project for this 7th day of March for The Cutting Cafe !!  Today also happens to be my baby sister's birthday!!  She's a big girl now (in her 30's but still my "baby sister"!!  So, here's a quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISSY shout out to her!! Today's project I used the Cookie Jar Cutting File to create this cute card for my mother (whose like my friend) for her birthday on the 14th of this month....soooo.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMY too!! woot woot!! So, I tried using a new product I received in a monthly kit I order called Nuvo Mousse.  It seems easy enough to apply and is suppose to make your project glimmer.....I don't see it!  :o)  Nonetheless, I trucked on!! Here's a close up so you can see.  I...

Hi there, Chauntelle here; welcome to my design team post for the 21st day of February for The Cutting Cafe !!  This project is made using the Paper Beads set available in the shop, it comes with a variety of designs to create stylish beads you can use to create jewelry!!  I made this super cute purple necklace and earrings to match for my daughter and I know she's going to love them because they are purple!!  :o) The set also comes with a box file you can use to hold the pieces you create, I made and decorated a box in purple to give this special gift using my favorite tear drop pearls and some purple flowers to keep the theme going!   Here's an angle view: Here's a top view: I am very happy with how this project turned out and love the box too!!   Check out my video tutorial on how I pulled it all together.   Head on over to The Cutting Cafe blog and check out all the beautiful team projects for some more inspiration!

Hey there, Chauntelle here and welcome to my blog post this 7th day of February for The Cutting Cafe !!  I really quickly and simply cut the Love Word Window card on my cameo and put together this quick card to attach to a gift.  It was super easy to do and the file comes with all the pieces you need, including a layer to cut some clear card stock for making a shaker card!!   Here's a look at what I did: I used paper from a new stack by Craft Smith called Bella Flora.  I picked up this paper pad at Micheals.  I added a pearl trim to hide the foam tape I used to create my shaker card area and a bling piece in the center of the letter O for fun.  This card, without adjusting the cut settings, measures 4" in diameter so it will fit in a standard sized envelope! Anywho, thank you so very much for stopping by and checking out my post for today.  Happy Crafting!! Chauntelle

Hey there, Chauntelle here!  Thanks for stopping by today!!  I'd like to share with you my "Clean & Simple" project using the Everyday Greetings Set from The Cutting Cafe !!  The file comes with about 10 sentiments that you can use in different ways to create cards, layouts or whatever you want!!  I used them in combination with some print and cut digital files to create a four card layers.  Check out my YouTube video for a quick tutorial!! Thanks again for stopping by today and I hope you have been inspired to try out this technique.  Head on over to The Cutting Cafe Blog where you can find tons of inspiration!!  Until Next time, Happy 2017!!
