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...

Hello!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!  Here I'm sharing some projects made using the Clear Card Stock available at The Cutting Cafe Shop !!  Let me tell you something....that stuff is durable!!  Its quite heavy (or thick) and can be made into a box or used in making shaker cards; which is one of the items I created.  It reminds me of those clear portfolio sheets you can get at the office supply store but you only get 5 sheets!!  LOL!  You've gotta try it, I know you'll be hooked too!! So first I made a special card for a family friend....she's turning 70 this week!! I used a hexagon shape to create my opening on both the top layer and the base of the card. I was also able to use the cutout by layering it inside the card.  There was just enough space to place a blank sheet below it to write a special sentiment. See?! Now, who doesn't LOVE chevron !??  Well check out this cutie here: I create this card u...

Good morning!!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today!!  This post is all about the famous " bendi card " craze going on right now.  Regina is so amazing that she decided to create a " Cutting Cafe " bendi card of her own to share with all of us and this week the design team post is all about showing off the bendi card!! I used some valentine paper in wine color and a flower print to create what I'm calling "A bouquet of Birthday Wishes" because I also used some flower sprays from my local store to accent the open areas of the card.  The sentiment comes with the file and I added an outline to help the words standout from the paper backing.  Some lace trim and string of bling finish off the bottom area.   Check out some pics! I hope you've been inspired to try this design, its pretty cool and don't worry if you want to mail it the file also comes with a box template made to fit the card perfectly!! Thanks for stopping by!! ...

Happy 7th day of the month ya'll!!  Have I told you how much I LOVE playing with the files from The Cutting Cafe !??  Love them!! So, its inspiration time!!  This week's project is dedicated to the awesome printable background sets available at The Cutting Cafe!!  So first things first....I collect/hold onto/hoard EVERYTHING (well maybe not hoard...lol) and our project this week had to involve an item that we would normal throw away after use....so for this project I planned to use this: because I just couldn't part with it any, it looked like something I could turn into "storage" in my craft space!  Instead I used it to create a gift for a young person's  birthday  (or older person) turning 21 or "feeling like" their 21!! I used some of that lovely tear-drop pearl trim I love so much to trim the inside and outside front (below) of the container.  I also lined it with a stripe of that cushion you can line your kitchen cabinets with....

Thanks so much for stopping by!!  Have a Craf-Tastic Day!! Chauntelle
