Hey there, Chauntelle here!!  Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my design team post for The Cutting Cafe this 21st day of November!!  Such a joyous time of year is just ahead of us and what a better time than to share some "inexpensive" love with family, friends, co-workers, employees or clients!!  I love being able to share a little something with others and these files from Regina's shop are perfect for the job!!   Today I am showing you two files I used to create some treat holders to give to my family and some at the office.  I used the K-Cup Holder File and Sucker Treat Cup File and turned it into an ornament.  Although there is an ornament treat cup file the one I used has that scallop edge effect I wanted.  Both of the treat cup files were just on sale for Cyber Monday last week so I hope you grabbed yours!! Check out some pics!! I love the way they turned out and have several more cut to create more!!  Check...

Hey there, Chauntelle here!!  Welcome to my design team post for The Cutting Cafe this 7th day of January!!  It's definitely not too early to start planning out the valentine day sweet treats you'd like to share with family and friends and this week we are doing just that....playing with valentine day files from the cafe!!  I used The Mailbox Templete file to create this adorable self standing mailbox; to me it mimics the design of the blue mailboxes we have here in the U.S.A you find on street corners and such.  Everything I used came from the file with the exception of the butterfly, flowers and red hearts; those are all from my stash and RAKs received!  The gold hearts attached to the clothes pins are from the Target $1Spot; I heat embossed them gold from red and add a red rhinestone. I chose nontradition colors for this project because although its nice to use the reds and pinks only its also nice to change it up a little bit.  Gives...

Happy Saturday people!!  Ahhh, Spring is finally trying to appear....YAAY!!  It makes me super happy to have the warmer weather, blooming flowers and the Easter Holiday; its one of my favorites!!  My design team project this week for The Cutting Cafe is a "Picture Perfect" love affair with all things Easter!!  You "dress up for worship", "take snapshots", "smile" and BEST of ALL.....EAT CHOCOLATE!! heehee   This adorable....adorable vending machine cutting file is super cute and makes such an awesome product!!  I mean really all I did was put the pieces together and add small touches of my style.  This file really comes together very nicely with just the pieces included.  I think the accessories are so super cute!!  It looks like the turn dial and dispenser slot!!  My vending machine is filled with fun Spring characters medallion shaped.  I think there maybe a bunny or two also. Here's one more look: To ALL ...

Hey crafty friends, I gotta tell ya, I do LOVE my chocolate!!  Yummy!!  Here is a project I created just to hold my chocolate treats when I'm sitting at my craft table!! I'm finishing up some Hershey's kisses from Christmas time but they are just as delicious as the Easter or Valentine wrapped kisses! Heehee Here I'm using the Paper Flowers Set from The Cutting Cafe to accent my mini muffin pans I picked up at the Dollar Tree.  You could by three sets and make 6 of these to give out to your family and friends, teacher, etc. It's an awesome little way to say, "thank you"; "I love you", etc. The bottoms of the pans are glued together to make this hour-glass shape; I've added some teardrop trim and lace around the top and bottom areas.  A bit more trim with tiny little scallops accent the center!! Sometimes chocolate is the best therapy!!  Oh YES, I do believe it!!  This cute little sentiment comes from the Sweet Goodness stamp s...
