Crafty Design by Lee

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 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...

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...

Hey there, Chauntelle here!!  Thanks for stopping by my post today and checking out my very first project share as a design team member for Pink Bow Ties !!  Pink Bow Ties is a new stamp and digital image company that is rapidly taking over the world!!  I love the images because they resemble EVERYONE (well almost) from EVERYWHERE or at least I believe that is the goal.  Check out the website to see all the images, stamps and sentiments currently available.  For my project this week I was asked to work with the digital image GQ: Marc ; I decided to put him on a canvas for my husband as a father's day gift.  What I love about digital images is you can make them as large or as small as you would like!!  This one was printed to fit on an 8x10 sized canvas but you can making it smaller for a card!!  Love it!! For all the details on what I used to put this canvas project together check out my youtube channel for a video . I...
