Crafty Design by Lee

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 ...

Its November, time to set the big table, pull out the roaster pan, gather with family and friends to celebrate!  Happy Thanksgiving to you all and thanks for stopping by my blog for this November 21st The Cutting Cafe inspiration dt post!! This week we are playing with the With Gratitude printable file.  The files come with several different sentiments, shapes and designs.  I printed one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of a background paper, layered it up, added some chalked edges and a few other elements and created a set of four "grateful" thank you cards to share with friends!! Each card is created as an A2 size card and work well with the other printable; outside of the card base I only added a mat of solid paper behind each cut of the printed sentiment.  Super clean and simple card set;  I'm thinking of making a few more sets this weekend!! Here's some individual pictures so you can get a closer look at each one: That printed paper looks so differ...

Hey people, how ya doing today!!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today for "Inspiration Time" from The Cutting Cafe design team!!  I love it when we have a free week of creating because the variety of projects the team creates is magical!!  Be sure to check out the blog to see what everyone came up with.  I was inspired by a youtube video I watched to create this globe shaped shaker card.  Here's how it turned out and I love it! The file I used is Snow Globe Shaped Card  and the sentiment is from the Silhouette Store.  My sequins is from Cartwrights Sequins .  The flowers, lace and beads are from my stash of goodness!! Here's another look after I added some sequins on the outer edge of the globe: I will store this card until January because it is going to my little princess god daughter for her birthday!  I know she will love it!!  I hope you have been inspired to go create too!  Don't forget to check out The C...

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 li...

Good day all and welcome to my blog!!  Its Inspiration Time over at The Cutting Cafe !!  This week we've been asked to create a "Fall/Autumn" project; I've been using Regina's tissue box file  for a minute now to create seasonal tissue box covers and realized I didn't have one for Fall!!  So had to fix that ASAP!! This is the season for runny, itchy, watery eyes and noses (LOL) so tissues are definitely a most around here and why can't they be decorative!!?  So here's what I created: I love Fall and these colors are so magical to me!!  The sentiments are from the Welcome Fall  printable set and I added a banner sentiment on all four sides of the tissue box. Thank you so much for stopping by today and checking out my dt post!!  Check out the blog to see all the inspiration from the design team!!  Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win free files from The Cafe!!
