Hey there, Chauntelle here with a project for The Cutting Cafe for the 7th day of July. Today I am playing with the Butterfly Shaped Card file to create this super sweet card I will use to send with a “Christmas in July” swap I am participating in!!  This file was perfect for he job and  the sentiment I created is perfect too!!  “Flying by for a little Christmas in July”.  I'm in love with making shaker cards and the cut files that come with this set are perfectly set to make shakers!!  I added some matching sequins and some VERY static-ky (yup, I'm making up words 😂) puffy bits from my stash.  I used my anti-static powdered bag to help reduce them wanting to run all over my desk! lol! I also used a piece of this super thick and steady clear card stock available at The Cutting Cafe Shop . The hat comes from the Christmas Photo Booth Props file also available at The Cutting Cafe . Check out  The Cutting Cafe Blog on July 21st and enter to win f...

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 and checking out this quick card that I made using the Wine Glass Shaped Card cutting file from The Cutting Cafe !!  This file was super easy to work with and served as the BEST sentiment for me to send to a really good friend who shares my love of wine for the holidays!! I used a sentiment purchased from the Silhouette Store and turned this cutie into a shaker card!!  I love how it turned out!  Thanks again for stopping by today and from my home to yours.....Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! Peace, Love and Crafty Blessings, Chauntelle

Hey crafty friends, its inspiration time over at The Cutting Cafe and I am super excited to share with you my projects!!  We are playing with the Big Expressions cutting file and it comes with four different sentiments; I was undecided on which ONE to focus on so I used three of the sentiments to create three unique cards. This cards were so much fun to make,  I used three different techniques to achieve each design. Here I took the "big expression - HUG " and colored it in the Silhouette Studio, I added the words above and below the HUG to create a greeting of sorts.  The adorable little penguin was too cute not to add in some way so the one on top right is adhered straight to paper; the one on the left has two layers AND he swivels!! Yup, I put him on an action wobble and he is super cute when flicked!! Here I used the "Big expression - SWEET " to create a shaker card!!  I've been really into shaker cards lately and he...

Hello there, welcome back to my blog for another post for The Cutting Cafe !!  These week we are playing with Halloween Shaker Cards!!  I gotta tell ya, this card was a lot of fun to "think up" in my head but when I got ready to pull it together it nearly drove me "batty", literally!!  LOL!!  The file itself was NOT the issue, it was ALL me and my obsessiveness!!  Luckily for me, I had plenty of time to play around and I do love the end result! I used a clear sheet to print my sentiment on a laser printer; this ensured the ink would run later.  I pulled images from  Halloween Bag Toppers  file together to create my shaker card.  The spider webs I added at the very end because I really felt like it need something extra. Can you see the shimmer on the web?  That paper is so cool, one side is dull and the other side is shimmery, I just love it!! I gave my bats some glowing eyes using orange and yellow bling from my stash, the li...

Hey there crafty friends, coming on to share with you a birth announcement I created using a few files from The Cutting Cafe.  This was really quick and easy to create and I love the way it turned out, I honestly just started with the Shaker file and the All-Occassion-Frame Set and came up with this beauty!! I used some Tim Holtz spiced marmalade stain to give the rattle some color.  I also added some white seam binding twisted into a bow with a little sequins flower center.  You can lay it horizontally or vertically!! The sentiment comes from the Hero Arts, Special Delivery stamp set. The rattle opens up to display the sex of the new arrival!!  The back of the postcard is blank with plenty of space to add the name, birthdate, weight, height, etc. Thank you so very much for stopping by today and taking a look at my post created for The Cutting Cafe .  I hope you were inspired!!
