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!
