Fall Scene at The Cutting Cafe

Good morning!

Today, I'm sharing a cute gift bag made with one of the fun files at The Cutting Cafe.

This bag can be filled with all sorts of things, and leans a bit to the manly side, which is something I always seem to need, and have trouble creating!

I'm using the 'Happy Fall Scene Card Template'.  Once again, I have used the PDF version. All pieces were cut out by hand.  No cutting machine? No worries!  Just grab your scissors, print your pieces and have fun cutting!  I do have a Silhouette machine, but for some reason, it's not cutting, so until I get some answers, I'll be using my little scissors!

The Cutting Cafe has a LOT of fun files and inspiration, and the holidays are just around the corner!  Regina has projects for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas that are sure to bring smiles to recipients!

Here's what I made using the Happy Fall Scene Card Template:

I decided to make a front for this gift bag, rather than a greeting card with my truck template.

Hope it made you smile!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Monday, ya'll...have a wonderful week!

Pumpkin Spice...Nice!

Hello!  

Here I am today, with another creation made using the adorable new release Strawberry Jude Stamps set 'Falling with Fox & Raccoon'.  What fun these little critters are, and oh my goodness, these stamps created such great, crisp images!

Here's the center step card that I made:

First, the images were all stamped and colored with alcohol markers. The sentiment and mugs were stamped on a scrap of white card stock, and trimmed for a cute banner.  After coloring everything, I fussy cut them, and added a bit of Glossy Accents to the mugs, eyes, and feet, and set aside to dry. 

I created the step card from white cardstock, and added some designer paper panels from some scraps.  Added a couple of little hills along the bottom edge, again using some scraps.  

A tree die that I had in my stash seemed perfect for a background, and perfect for all of the falling leaves.  Last, everything was adhered to the card using some glue dots and liquid glue.

Thanks again to the crew at Strawberry Jude Stamps for having me as a guest designer this month.  They were all warm, welcoming, and helpful, and I've so enjoyed working with this product! If you haven't gone to see their darling stamps, you should!

Have a great day!

Peppermint Candy Treat Box

Good morning!

Today, I'm sharing a cute candy box made with one of the fun files at The Cutting Cafe.

This box can be filled with all sorts of little mints. I didn't have any peppermints, so I used some life saver mints.

I'm using the 'Peppermint Candy Treat Box'.  I've used the PDF version. All pieces were cut out by hand.  No cutting machine? No worries!  Just grab your scissors, print your pieces and have fun cutting!

The Cutting Cafe has a LOT of fun files and inspiration, and the holidays are just around the corner!  Regina has projects for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas that are sure to bring smiles to recipients!
