Shak'em Up Baby!

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 little bat on the bottom left is popped up off the surface of the card, he looks like his about to take off!!

I finished up the inside using a plain orange sheet of card stock, and that black shimmered side of the paper die cut with my Martha Stewart "Goo" punch.



For someone who doesn't really care for Halloween (other than the fact its a week after my birthday) I love, love, love how my card turned out!!

Thank you so very much for stopping by today and checking out my blog post for The Cutting Cafe; be sure to stop by the blog to see all the inspiration the team has for you!!  Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win free files from the cafe!!  With every blog post there's a WINNER!!

Blessings & Craft Happiness!!

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 with clear top that I normally use to hold car
